## Notes on Undead Horde

2/24/2019 - Alex Kinley - MMO Land immediate attention - \*Static\* “ ‘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” \*Static\*
2/24/2019 - Aeolous - MMO Land immediate attention - 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.

2/24/2019 - Joshua - MMO Land immediate attention- 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?

2/24/2019 - Aeolous - MMO Land immediate attention -Zombies, ghouls, mummies (I think?) and Liches who were casting spells. We didn't really study that too much, but I think they were being raised.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.
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.
Not sure. Mostly humans I believe. They came from across the desert, but fuck if I know what the name of the desert is.

2/25/2019 - Mildred - MMO Land immediate attention -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.

2/25/2019 - Doc Fulton - MMO Land immediate attention - 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...

2/25/2019 - Alex Kinley- MMO Land immediate attention - \*Static\* “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” \*Static\*

2/28/2019 - Aeolous- MMO Land immediate attention - I may or may not be responsible for the undead horde roaming around after I took a sword from the Burrows in the desert...Also I lost the sword for ever because the universe hates me. So I can't really go and put it back or anything… The curse went something along the lines of "Take what you need and leave the rest" and well I guess technically sort of speaking I didn't *need* it but I would argue one always needs a magical sword. So…

3/1/2019 - Mildred- MMO Land immediate attention - So does that mean... The dead armies are after you? And they would go all calm and good if they got you? Hmmm...

3/1/2019 - Aeolous- MMO Land immediate attention - I see no evidence to support that theory.

## Notes

2/27/2019 - Alex Kinley - Viip forest MMO Land - \*Static\* “Joey here, Mr Kinley just wanted me to point out for those who have yet to go to the forest, there are two bushes with glowin’ berries, one in North Viip, the other in South Viip. Eat the berries, the one in the North will make you permanently stronger, the one in the south permanently quicker, but be warned, if you are not of a hearty disposition, these berries can have a negative damagin’ effect.” \*Static\*

2/27/2019 - Alex Kinley - \*Static\* “Also, in South Viip Forest there is a ruined castle with a large creature livin’ in it, we have not confirmed the nature of said creature, if anyone would like to check this out while in the area, that would be great.” “General further explorin’ would also be a good thin’ to get done, who knows what other “magic berry bushes” are out there, just take care to avoid the ravagin’ undead hordes.” \*Static\*

2/27/2019 - Aeolous - If memory serves correct, I believe the castle is made from diamond ore.

2/27/2019 - Alex Kinley - \*Static\* “We would need to get our resident Geologist in to determine that, or bring her a sample Freddy, good idea!” \*Static\*

2/27/2019 - Aeolous - What in our history together makes you think I'd walk up to a ruined castle with a giant sleeping creature inside of it just to get a rock sample?

2/27/2019 - Joshua - As someone who has some knowledge of geology and was there with Alex and Freddy, I can confirm that the castle is NOT made of diamond ore. Also Quentin Taratino’s car is in the north part of the forest in a wooden building.

2/27/2019 - Aeolous - Could have sworn there was something about diamonds. Maybe I was hallucinating.

2/27/2019 - Alex Kinley - Calling all DORAs- \*Static\* “No no, undead horde is definitely still top priority, this is just somethin’ for the next available group in the area.” \*Static\*

3/11/2019 - Alex Kinley - Calling all DORA’s MkII - \*Static\* “There is a lone tower standing tall in the Stormshield Mountains, just beyond the Blood Pass. Legend foretells that in the top most level of said tower is a powerful goblin shaman who was cursed by an evil dragon to sleep forever. Whispers on the wind is that this shaman is a master at creating a magic incense that’s smoke, when inhaled, has healing properties. If a group is visiting the tower, please check the top level and see if there is anything that can be done to lift the curse. I believe the shaman would be very grateful and could make a potentially powerful ally.” \*Static\*

3/11/2019 - Alex Kinley - \*Static\* “Please note, the mountains are very cold, cold weather gear will be needed.”
\*Static\*

3/12/2019 - Aeolous - I may have mislabelled the blood pass mountains on my map (I even mentioned it on the map) as I was rather frazzled at that particular moment while drawing the map. Those mountains may actually be referring to the Forbidden Mountains, and the actual "Blood Pass" is in the Stormshield Mountains as Alex mentioned. I do recall seeing the ice tower and it was definitely not near a desert. We believe it to be the cause of the supercold Bleak River. Other than mediaeval-style weapons, no technology seems to work in MMO Land without the user willing it to do so specifically, and even then it's very difficult. Guns and things like flashlights have been tested and they do not work reliably. We also tested an old photographing camera once and that too was affected. On the plus side, magic is unhindered.

3/12/2019- Joshua - We’ve brought magitek stuff over from Gothic to Mmoland (eg flying cars) without issue.

3/12/2019 - Aeolous - I believe Joshua and I had a similar conversation once regarding chemical compositions. I think he mentioned that grenades wouldn't work. I doubt glow sticks would work either. TNT I would be surprised. Not entirely sure how it's all determined, but it seems that the further "back in time" a zone is, the less likely any sort of technology would work. In Burlington, for example, technology works without issue. But in Beastkin it's a bit harder. In MMO Land it's exceptionally difficult. Wait. Throw that theory out the window. Technology worked fine in Dino Land. I have no idea how any of that works. Just try it out I guess.

3/12/2019 - Joshua - While a flying car from the cyberpunk zone did not work, the road flares from it’s roadside assistance kit worked without issue, so not cut and dried as to what tech can and can’t work in mmoland

3/13/2019 - Glenn James - Dana, Freddy, and I have made some preparations. We led a supply convoy up into the mountains and made several food caches/supply depots (including 2 full sets of 2001-era cold weather wear/gear) a safe distance from the tower. We also laid out a hidden survival camp and made a trump card of it. As far as reconnaissance goes, there are 20 unbound minor ice elementals encircling (and rarely going in and out of) the tower. Throughout a day or 2 of observation, we did not see anyone or anything else enter or leave the tower.

Note, the elementals can only be harmed by opposite elements and/or magic and we probably won't be able to ninja past them. So we definitely want to bring fire weapons as they were not included in the supply convoy.

3/29/2019 - The Rock - Smurf regiment- Here is the crest of the Smurf regiment in MMO world.

4/4/2019 - Aeolous - Tentacle Monster + Snake Building - Done - We successfully defeated the Tentacle Monster in the sewers as well as the snake people over in MMO Land in that semi-ruined building. Turns out they were planning an invasion of the West which includes Kinleyville. We defeated the majority if not the entire army of guards, leaving only the "civilian" snake people alive.
In both places we found a bunch of different loot, including several magical/non-magical-but-interesting items (the ones we didn't immediately take for ourselves are in the Embassy. I am somewhat interested in the Lute of Flying though I would need to practice my Lute playing first). You can find more info about this at the embassy [OOC: when I can be bothered to write it all down, probably before the last session tomorrow].

We also found several books on magic, different to the ones we had before, which allow you to learn the first spell in that particular magic school.

There is also a valuable snake statue worth 200 gold. Raslen - I'm guessing we will be leaving that to you to haggle away. If you can find an art collector or something, maybe you can get even more for it. You do you.

Lastly, we left the flying car from Gothic over in Kinleyville. It has about 1 1/2 months of battery life remaining if anyone would like to take it for a joyride. If you do, it may be worth putting it back in Gothic (Shadow Walk) before the battery completely dies otherwise we won't be able to replace it as easily.
