__NOTOC__
==Malcifer Recap==
===Day 29===
Malcifer Winter is working in his basement, working on making some undead when Lilith's arrives in the parlor. She asks to be more involved in Malcifer's work. Malcifer agrees and leads her down to the underground laboratory and instructs her on the work he is doing.
Malcifer takes control of the Shade in his basement and practices possessing it and moving around inside. In the night he finds a tent with a sleeping couple of fighters inside. He leaves the shade and returns to his body. 
Malcifer takes his horse and rides out to the tent with all his skeletons. The two inside claim to be free people and have no desire to trespass in Malcifer's lands. Malcifer leaves them be, determining they aren't poachers or Pinespur agents.
It is dawn when Malcifer gets back to his estate, having to leave his Shade in the woods in the shade so it won't be destroyed by sunlight.
Malcifer gives orders his people to make some corrals for his crossbow with "organic" heads for his spells. He also orders some new hunting bows.
===Day 34===
Malcifer is all healed up and recasts his "spirit armor" spell when a hunter comes to the estate with 4 zombie heads, saying they were left in the middle of the road north out of Winter's Reach.
Malcifer collects his skeletons and goes to investigates. The zombie bodies were left to deliver a message, Malcifer assumes a challenge, and rides north to the next village over.
In the next village are many new Tents that aren't usually here, Pinespur troops Malcifer assumes. Then he is shot in the back by an archer lookout. Malcifer returns fire and the archer falls into the pack of undead following Malcifer, and the undead kill the lookout.
After turning the lookout into a zombie, Malcifer and his undead troops go around the village. A civilian sees the undead and screams and flees, but she is taken down by an arrow shot and turned into a zombie herself.
Church Bells start to ring and the troops leave their tends and line in formation. After sending the new zombie in, Malcifer calls a retreat. Malcifer is not pursued.
Back at Winter's Reach, Malcifer intends to raise the ~280 dead skeletons in the graveyard into a fighting force ahead of the invasion.
