“ ‘ello all, Joey ‘ere. Mr Kinley, Freddy, Mildred and Ally went and took care of those Ogers the Dwarves were complainin’ about in MMO land. While there, they noticed a town a short distance away on fire. On closer inspection, it was bein’ besieged by a horde of undead types. A pass was collapsed to slow their assault on the other human settlements, but they have seemed to have proceeded in another direction. Each town they sack, theirs numbers expand. Mr Kinley says we needs to be takin’ care of this ASAP, or we could lose MMO land”

A huge horde of undead has been spotted approximately 2 weeks walk away from Alexburg near the Desert, not too far from the Blood Pass Mountains. The horde was attacking and turning all the people to more undead. They then went south - approximately one more week's walk - and took over another small city near the coast. We fear it only a matter of time before they reach the cities we are all familiar with. We have warned them all and they have begun preparing defences in anticipation, but this also means that all other "work" has been suspended. They will only grow in number if they continue to assimilate more and more cities. We need to figure out a way of dealing with them and quickly.

Do you have any further information regarding the horde of undead? eg what sort of undead? is there something leading them such as a lich or necromancer? How are people being turned into undead - is it like a disease or infection that if someone is bitten/scratched/killed by undead they turn? Or is there someone/something raising the dead? Do they move with purpose, as in intelligence or just random wandering that could be herded/directed? What is involved in killing the typical undead?

Are other races also in the mix of undead or just humans?

Zombies, ghouls, mummies (I think?) and Liches who were casting spells.

How are people being turned into undead - is it like a disease or infection that if someone is bitten/scratched/killed by undead they turn? Or is there someone/something raising the dead?

We didn't really study that too much, but I think they were being raised.

Do they move with purpose, as in intelligence or just random wandering that could be herded/directed?

The fact that they seemed to be going from city to city leads me to believe that at least some of them were intelligent and leading them, possibly the Liches (I believe they had green eyes if that's of any relevance). Or was it just one Lich… Alex/Mildred/Ally, how many were there? We blocked off the pass to the mountains and when we went back to check, it was undisturbed. They may find a way around it or eventually get through it.

What is involved in killing the typical undead?

To quote Alex: bash them really hard.
Well, unless these are different. I know that Liches need to have their philactories destroyed first otherwise they just come back after a while.

Are other races also in the mix of undead or just humans?

Not sure. Mostly humans I believe. They came from across the desert, but fuck if I know what the name of the desert is.

If I remember correctly (ha ha) it didn't seem that they had leaders. And there were multiple liches. But yeah they're going town to town, so they act according to some organizing principle, may it be something smart or just you know... Hunger. Sometimes it's hard not to kill people.

Find Lumsie in the halfway in... have him take them over as his new undead army... they must however, vacate that land... I say we send them to take over THE VILLAGE...

“Mr Mackay, Mr Kinley says that the undead were not wearin’ Fa cloths, so were not Lumsies undead nor did any of the liches look like the ones that escaped Gothic.”

“Mr Kinley has a forboddin’ feelin’ that one of our fellow Dora’s might ‘ave advertently or inadvertently had somethin’ to do with these undead. *cough**cough**Doc**cough**cough*”

“If anyone thinks they might of had somethin’ to do with this, please come forward with any information you may have. Findin’ the source of the horde may be the key to stoppin’ it, Joey out”

[docfullton]

Oh joshuaaaaaaa.... Gems? Perhaps?

[docfullton]

Oh, I dunno who's they are... but I'm sure Lumsie would love a premade army... and his own little slice of heaven in THE VILLAGE BECAUSE FUCK THAT PLACE...

The halfway inn that mysteriously doesn't work any more…?

… Oh. Yeah. That would make sense.

We might need to go and put them back. Joshua – who did you sell them to? Actually I don't even know if putting them back will work… one of the gems had its magic dispelled.

[docfullton]

it only dispells for a day... and that's just a theory... they also may make it so we can control them...

[PotatoJedi]

Ah, only a day. Right. Hopefully Joshua remembers who he sold them to and where.

When Joshua, myself and Doc were stranded somewhere in MMO Land, we stumbled upon some sort of cave, inside of which was a statue with 2 large gems in its eye sockets. Joshua had the lovely idea to just take them out. 2 Large skeleton Warriors rose from some bone piles and attacked us (they were quite tough to kill). We managed to kill one of them and left the other trapped in a pit. We then took the gems with us. They were worth about $10,000 each. Joshua later sold them to help with the upkeep of The White Dove but we don't know to whom.

[Scott]

I believe he sold them in Beastkin SA, if they are the gems that I am thinking of.
