The Walking Dammed: ECL 4, Osiris Eloah, Elf Wizard, (Generalist) 4: Journal Entry 6

It does not take long to realize that in order to survive this pandemic; you need to be handy with the steel, bow, your hands, quick witted, wheel the arcane, or pray like there’s no tomorrow.  Basically, be able to earn your keep since the quickest way to wind up dead is t become dead weight! From what  I can tell, that’s the way these people have been able survive this long, cut off from the outside world as each passing second makes their heart grow colder as they get more accustomed to the stench. As I get a moment to look over the crowed I meet a man by the name of Darkshelm. Apparently a former city guard that broke ranks to protect his family and the people of this city. A noble gesture, a noble gesture indeed. As I listen in on conversations through out the tunnel, I notice our giant friend has continued on down the tunnel to face whatever dangers await, idiot. As the group is besieged by more of the undead atrocities, we are assisted by our new ally the archer Darkshelm. I must say, he was very impressive laying waste to the monstrosities one after another; and ever using his Great Bow to tremendous affect against a walking horde. Without him, I believe we all may not have survived. As we continued on down the tunnel I noticed several goods in the back of wagon; however I failed to be quick enough to avoid the hidden bear trap that almost broke, or even severed my leg. By the grace of all that is holy I survived. I must strive to remain ever aware as one misstep could leave me broken and twisted in a matter of seconds, waiting for my end to come. After being set free by the cleric and the Warmage, we decided to hold up in one of the wagons for some much needed rest before retuning back to the camp. As I mediate, I ponder who could have set these traps as they are most sophisticated. Curious, very curious, I must look into this in these following days. I’ve noticed as I spend more time fighting these abominations, living on the edge and traveling through the “suck” I can feel myself growing stronger by the second with arcane might, and I love it!
