After a much needed rest, Rayjok Hyperion had a meeting with Hedgewind Jalinbeti to determine whether he was indeed finished with the mystery of the undead. Hedgewind expressed that he did have a couple of errands in mind if Rayjock and his party were interested in undertaking them.
The first of the tasks was for Rayjock to continue to look for the source of the power raising the undead. A clue was given that the initial location of the globe altering effect may have originated in far away Kara in the south of the Aydahar Confederation. This being a long journey by any means of travel, Hedgewind Jalinbeti offered the party a second offer.
Hedgewind urged them to seek out the creator(s) of the Obsidian Scale Armor worn by Aydahar military generals. If found, they should compel the creator (or creators) to move to Jalinbeti to ply their craft. To assist in their negotiations, Hedgewind gave Rayjok a special coin, that if rubbed with a wish for gold, would produce what wealth they would need to seal the deal. Hedgewind promised rewards commensurate with the party's success.
Tunneling Zombies
No sooner did the negotiations end than a rider from Koboldy Rock came riding into town calling for Rayjok Hyperion. He explained that he had ridden all night to alert him that The Rock was under attack by undead. Roused to action (especially Caladan Ironforge, hater of all things undead), the party rode hard to Koboldy Rock.
Upon arrival, the party was greeted on the road by The Rock's Grand Visier, Gulshara Rysbek. She had gotten everyone and much of the livestock to relative safety on the road while the undead zombies and skeletons roamed the halls of the keep. Without pause, the party headed straight into the fray, descending into the keep's basement and crushing a nearly endless stream of Ungir-shaped zombies.
The zombies, which had a habit of getting up again after they were re-killed, were re-re-killed and eventually their corpses burned. The staff returned, assigned comfortable rooms to the adventurers and began the process of getting life back to normal for Koboldy Rock.
The Fellowship Changes
After the zombie attack, Togzhan Kuat, Darwin Serzhan decided to break from the party and headed north to explore Ælfwode and all that is Ælfish. As a stepping stone between Jalinbeti and the rest of Ortalyk however, it wasn't long before new adventurers joined the ranks.
and the rest of the party as tragedy struck one player after another.
