History & Mentions

§ Interactions
Session 55 Halfbie cleared a space on the first floor inside their Leomund's Tiny Hut and tried to get comfortable. Their spell had made the area much warmer than the frigid, never-ending winter outside. From within, they watched as Viktor called over the exhausted Drache and asked him to help gather the zombies' corpses and bring them into the Hut, for further study. Drache began helping and even called Mordecai over to help them. Mordecai was extremely hesitant at first, but eventually agreed to help.
Session 55 After a lot of back-and-forth, they had collected a zombie. They began the arduous task of pulling the body towards the Hut. Halfbie took pity on the two. They quickly wrapped their coat tightly around themselves [^1] before poking out of the Hut. They summoned a Tenser's Floating Disk, which they could both more easily drag the corpses around.
Session 55 It shuffled closer, its hand slowly raised to point at Drache, its head cocked to one side almost mechanically as it tried to understand the dragonborn. Viktor, from within the Tiny Hut, quickly noticed that the hunter was back on its feet. He rushed over to get a closer look; he was barely holding back his excitement as he inspected the body. With its frostbitten finger still pointing at Drache, the zombie grunted, "He-at"
Session 55 Drache shook his head, and the zombie's head moved to face Viktor. Viktor, for his part, was muttering about how this one had been killed with Hunter's arrows and should probably be dead. Mordecai nodded, saying it's almost like it's defrosting.
Session 55 Upon hearing this, Viktor asked Mordecai for a lit torch to see what would happen. As soon as the fire began to burn, he watched the zombie instantly start following it, first with its eyes, then as it lumbered towards it. Viktor held out the torch, and the zombie rushed over to grab it from his hand, then began rapidly warming its body. As it did, the cuts and wounds all started to heal.
Session 55 The group watch the zombie slowly heal some of its wounds before taking the torch back. The zombie almost looked annoyed that someone had taken away its source of heat. pointing to itself and grunting "Co-ld" with a cheeky grin, Drache waved, saying "Nice to meet you Co-ld, i'm Drache"
Session 55 Halfbie, who was suddenly watching from within, got a flash of memories from chenris, and they began putting a few things together. These zombies were not only under a similar curse as the evelen canibels, but the curse was placed upon them by the same powerful mage. This magic was so powerful that one would need a lot more magic than anyone could gather in their lifetime. Interestingly, the zombie actually died during the fight, but Chenris didn't study Magical Fauna enough to know why. Halfbie passed on some o thier observation to Viktor, who began to wonder about the creature's nature.
Session 55 He turned to Mordecai and asked if they would be ok with joining the zombie in an experiment. After some convincing, Mordecai eventually agreed, and Viktor began casting Banishment as soon as the spell was finished. Mordecai and the zombie suddenly blinked out of the material plane.
Session 55 Mordecai thought they had their eyes open. It was strange; it was like the only thing that existed was the Mordecai and the zombie. They weren't surrounded by darkness, because that would still be something. They were surrounded by nothingness, but saying as much made the nothing into something which did not exist where they were right now.
Session 55 With the source of heat from the torch, the zombie enveloped Mordecai in a bearhug. The zombie smelled terrible as it would not let go. Mordecai struggled for a while before eventually giving in. Viktor had explained that the spell would last 1 minute before they returned. Mordecai waited... and waited... and waited. The thought that time might not exist where they were, but they pushed that away before they could start to panic. After either a minute or a millennium, Mordecai blinked, and they were back in the freezing cold of snowport.
Session 55 Mordecai could not believe what was happening as their mind tried to process their experience in the void. They tried to make a witty remark, but all that came out was a single scream as their mind slowly unravelled. The zombie let go of Mordecai, also confused about what was happening. it stumbbled back and right into the sword of Ringo, who had snuck past everyone to land the killing blow. "Someone had to end it, and i'd didn't think it would be you lot"
Session 53 They cheered their drinks to confirm the deal before halfbie mentioned that, before heading off, it would be good for them to get some sleep and rest up after their fight with the zombies in the forests. At hearing this, the Hunter 's ears pricked up.
Session 53 "Zombies? decribe 'em for me." he barked.
