The Walking Dammed: ECL 5, Osiris Eloah, Elf Wizard, (Generalist) 5: Journal Entry 8


Death, everywhere I turn. Death and even more, undeath. The safety of the barracks proved, incorrect. The party was able to make short work of  the few straggling zombies we came across but I think it may never end. Fighting the undead is one thing but fighting other living beings, ridiculous! We lost two of our party today, the mighty Trebuchet, who fell on the front line while protecting us all and Kona, the Shield Elf, who gave his life so that others may live. I know that I will take his passing the hardest since it was he who first rendered help to me when I entered this now cursed city, for I landed the final blow to force an undead Kona back into a sleep that he will not soon rise from again. Both, whom I consider friends, struck down by living, breathing people. Why are we not fighting this undead curse together? Why? The first time in my life I don't have an answer but I know this, they will be avenged! After dispatching of the enemy, I made sure they would not rise prematurely, a dagger to the head will often do that. After my handy work I found a werebear shackled to the wall. After a brief discussion I decided to free him since I felt his strength will prove invaluable. As he searched for his belongs, Murag, disturbed an undead rat swarm that took the entire party to defeat. I pray those are few and far between and we are getting close to a resting point for I carry the weight of a city in need, and I never disappoint!
