Maverick starts rounding up wagons and horses to transport people from Spar City. \u00a0Thaddeus stays up late and works up a new potion to deal with the strange new creatures we have been finding.<\/p>\n
The next morning we find a bunch of people (5) sitting outside of the Long Draught. \u00a0Magnus approaches them and asks what they want. \u00a0They have covered themselves with symbols that match what Lucille \u00a0was drawing on buildings. \u00a0They immediately bow down to her. \u00a0She asks what they want and they say they are following her holy writings. \u00a0 Some of them claimed that she protected them and helped them find food and good fortune. \u00a0They ask her to tell them the path. She tells them to help Maverick load the wagon.<\/p>\n
Robert quits his job and says F@(k this I\u2019m moving to Montana.<\/em><\/p>\n We jump in the wagons and start to Spar City. \u00a0We have horses tied to the back of the wagons. \u00a0Jimmy is out in front as our scout. \u00a0We raise a huge cloud of dust as we ride, moving at super speed. \u00a0 Thaddeus is snoring in the back of one of the wagons, but Jimmy senses the spirit of Grey Owl speeding us along. \u00a0 We don\u2019t stop, and soon we the outskirts of Spar City. \u00a0We see smashed buildings and fire scars. \u00a0 We see someone in the road in front of us.<\/p>\n Jimmy rides up to the person. \u00a0He sees that it is a kid. \u00a0We stop behind Jimmy rides around in front of the kid. \u00a0It is the kid, and he is drawing on his sketch pad. \u00a0He says this is a bad time. \u00a0Jimmy looks at his sketch pad. \u00a0The town on the pad shows huge tentacles crushing the buildings. \u00a0We feel a sense of unease that is extremely strong. \u00a0There is something very wrong with this town. \u00a0Maverick asks if there are people in the church. \u00a0Lucille detects arcana on the kid. \u00a0She can tell that he is slightly magical. \u00a0He says that he is not going into the town and starts to walk away. \u00a0 Thaddeus mounts his own horse and we start moving into the town with Jimmy, followed by the wagons. \u00a0We notice that there is no vegetation around the town, and all of the field around it are dead and cracked. \u00a0The church is the only thing standing. \u00a0We see bones all over the ground. \u00a0Some have meat on them but others are bare. \u00a0There is no sound but the carrion birds.<\/p>\n Lucille says not to touch the bones, but we can\u2019t stop the horses from stepping on them. \u00a0Thaddeus\u2019 horse rears and starts running out of town. \u00a0Lucille talks to it and suddenly it turns around and heads back into town. \u00a0 We get to the church. \u00a0Lucille sees the energy coalesce around us and warns us to watch the bones.\u00a0 Jimmy starts riding around to crunch up more of the bones. \u00a0We see recent signs of activity, such as freshly dug graves with crosses on them.<\/p>\n We move up to the church. \u00a0Lucille does not detect anything from the graves, but there is a lot of magical energy coalescing in the area. Jimmy tracks around the graves, and sees the tracks go straight back to the church. \u00a0Charlotte jumps down and looks at the graves.<\/p>\n Maverick shoots one shot to let anyone on the church know we are here. \u00a0There is a sound like a large exhale and we see skeletons pop up around us. \u00a0They seem to be made out of many different people and are screaming in pain and rage. \u00a0They pick up stick and attack us. Charlotte shoots one with a shotgun and it disintegrates. \u00a0We see an orange energy as the skeleton disintegrates. \u00a0Jimmy lets out a war cry, WHICH WE HEAR. \u00a0He is surprised, but still jumps off his horse and still tomahawks another skeleton. \u00a0There is still blood coming out of the skeletons, which is weird. \u00a0 The skeletons move in. \u00a0One swings at Jimmy and misses. \u00a0One swings at Charlotte and his arm falls off. \u00a0One swings and Thaddeus and connects, and another hits Maverick. \u00a0 Maverick returns the favor and blows three away. \u00a0Thaddeus shoots another in the face. \u00a0 Lucille is obviously casting a big spell, and 4 zombies pop up out of the graves of the townspeople.<\/p>\n Joker for Maverick. \u00a0He mows another three down. \u00a0 Charlotte blows way one of Lucille\u2019s zombies. \u00a0Jimmy cuts down two in front of him. \u00a0Magnus blows away the third, and the ground rumbles as the last zombie sinks into the ground. \u00a0Lucilles shouts not to kill the last zombies, which are hers. \u00a0We ride up to the church and announce ourselves. \u00a0After some convincing the doors open and we see a women and man. \u00a0They see Lucille\u2019s zombies and shut the door immediately.<\/p>\n Maverick flies up to the steeple (this is new). \u00a0The group in the church shoots up at Maverick and misses. \u00a0 Charlotte talks to them and tries to persuade them, but fails miserably. \u00a0Thaddeus also tries to persuade them to come out. \u00a0The woman opens the door and \u00a0tells everyone inside that we are friends. \u00a0Magnus pulls out a bowler hat and convinces them to come out of the church.<\/p>\n They open the doors and 40 people come out. \u00a0We load up all of the people on the wagons, plus putting the rest on the extra horses and the backs of ours. \u00a0The person we talked to initially is Madame Lorelei, and the guy is Fred Lawson, former proprietor of the General Store in Paradise Falls. \u00a0 We ask about the town papers, but Lorelei says she hid them under the floorboards of the church and they heard noises under there so they haven\u2019t gone back. Once they arrived at Spar City there were 80 people here and things were OK, but this spring the vegetation started dying off and supplies ran out.\u00a0 A few weeks ago, there was a large fight in the center of town over who was hogging the remaining resources and the townspeople massacred each other, even the women and children. \u00a0The survivors from Paradise Falls barricaded themselves into the church and were spared, but the town was destroyed, and soon after the corpses rose up and attacked them. \u00a0They have been hiding in the church ever since.<\/p>\n We load up everyone and escort them out to the edge of town where the weirdness ends. \u00a0Then we go back and go into the church. \u00a0It smells from all the people living here for weeks, and is extremely dark.<\/p>\n We find the loose floor boards and climb down to a small crawl space. \u00a0Maverick and Jimmy crawl down. \u00a0Both notice that there are racks of old moldering books, and notice that there are a lot of foot prints around an area where there was obviously a box. \u00a0The tracks lead up to a wall behind the box. \u00a0The Indian sees nothing, but Maverick finds a secret door. \u00a0Two passages lead off, and we follow the right into a large room. \u00a0There are catacombs under the church.<\/p>\n As we walk into the room we feel the same rumbling as above. \u00a0The lights go out, and a voice says it has heard of us. \u00a0It says \u2018I \u00a0have heard of you, and I thought that you would come. \u2018 \u00a0We see a vision of ourselves in our idealized selves. \u00a0 We are captivated for a few seconds, and then we see the same orange tentacles rise up and the visions turn to evil.<\/p>\n Corpses start piling out of the walls. \u00a0Jimmy runs up to two of them and drops one. \u00a0 Charlotte blasts another one. \u00a0Maverick drops another three. \u00a0They attack and miss us all. \u00a0Magnus shoots one, and Lucille controls another. \u00a0 \u00a0Thaddeus blasts another.<\/p>\n Thaddeus moves quickly and blows away another. \u00a0 Jimmy drops the last two. \u00a0We see the energy drift out of their bodies and go under the wall. \u00a0A door is visible. \u00a0Charlotte opens the door and sees a hallway. \u00a0She charges in……<\/p>\n We see another large room where the light is sucked out of the room and we hear the voice again, but instead of ourselves we see of others being pulled apart by the evil orange tentacles. \u00a0They all are affected and then start behaving strangely. \u00a0They are all possessed. \u00a0 One is another woman from town, and Lawrence is also affected. \u00a0Off in the distance we see the kid furiously writing and drawing a huge mosaic, which shows each of the people being affected by the tentacles. \u00a0The voice says \u201cMy brother told me about you, but I will be the one to destroy you… \u201c \u00a0As Charlotte turns to look at us, her eyes are orange.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Maverick starts rounding up wagons and horses to transport people from Spar City. \u00a0Thaddeus stays up late and works up a new potion to deal with the strange new creatures we have been finding.
