[Dark forces are gathering on Yag Island, manifesting as an undead cleric of Umberlee known as Salt's Wake and a Dread Necromancer called Vaelis Crowe. They are currently in a sea cave on the southern shore of the island fighting undead. This is documented by Ganbar, Priest of Kelemvor.]
DAY 710 11th Alturiak (Feb) cont ...
I remind my lords that Wake and Crowe were exploring a sea cave. Next they came to the largest cave yet, which was open to the sea and mostly filled by it. In this watery area was a band of kao-tuo that attacked as soon as the necromancers entered.
It was a dirty fight, skeletons and zombies versus the kao-tuo, splashing about, biting and clawing at each other with the necromancers joining in at the end to push their advantage.
After the battle, they raised as many of the fish-people as undead minions as they could. The pushed on deeper into some of the side tunnels, encountering more undead that was swiftly rebuked. They then came across a troll skeleton, but by this time their horde of undead was an easy match for it.
Around the smaller caves and tunnels they went, clearing out some wights and other ragged zombies. They then looted the place of everything they could find. There was no sign of the "witch-like female figure" they had seen earlier. She had mostly likely been the one in charge in these caves, but had had the sense to flee when it looked like she was out-matched.
When darkness fell, they returned to Wake's boat.
DAY 711 12th Alturiak (Feb)
Wake sailed to the Devil's Cauldron at first light to pick up their motley crew of the undead. Any corpses they had no use for had stones put in their pockets and were thrown overboard out at sea.
Some fishing boats were seen in the distance, but apparently didn't notice all this going on.
They then returned to the Cauldron, waited until dark then crept back into Tamunzah harbour.
DAY 712 13th Alturiak (Feb)
At four in the morning the necromancers shuffled their collection of undead to their rented house and down into the cellar.
They then slept through the day and arose in the evening to go to the main store of Tamunzah and sell their loot from the sea cave.
[Rollo note here!: Two weeks ago the Guildgate to Cashta (aka the FAMP) had been completed by the Underforge masons and had worked! Well it had got me to Cashta anyway, but it was hundreds of miles away from "New Hope" where the other settlement was. By DAY 712 I was connected via teleportation between the two places. "Rollo Land" isn't much yet, just the Gate and a few sheltered square feet around it, but it's a start! Also note that New Hope is 26 square miles in size now with a population of about 380.]
