Did you see us bring The Cult of The Rat God to its knees? 

Glorious was that day!

They celebrated each step with rice, ribbons, bouquet!

Valerian is great, I heard them say!

Our celebration was short, however, as we celebrated at the Vengeful Bat.

Surrounded by wenches, a halfling and his feathery hat.

What? A mob of undead storming the gates of Genepa? How could this be?

I'm still swerving from copious volumes of ale, rum, and whiskey...let us go see!

We jogged through the streets, because falling off our horses wouldn't be a good look.

Adolpheus the wizard didn't even have his book!

Don’t run peasant, I’m on my way!

Like a feather he shook.

I hope our Emmer the Druid didn't eat those mushrooms he likes.

Hark! Look at the gates, yikes!

The city guard were fighting for their lives.

Bloated zombies, larger than the baker’s wife!

In baker’s dozens, times ten, times dozens!

I pull out my sword, it flames.

Let there be Light!

Is it the rum? Or is it my might?

Swipe, thrust, chop – with this shield I bash.

Off you go with my foot up thine ass!

Wait. Should I say that?

Let it pass!

Well anyway, my Holy Piece, upon my chest it heaves.

Swinging wildly like a maiden’s…ahem…sleeves,

I turn thee corrupt foul beasts.

Begone from my gates with thy rotten foul teeth!

Ah, there goes the wild dwarf Kron, come join me now, we must go that way.

What was it that the wise fighting monks say?

I think they say…Feng Shway!

It means to clear a path so that we can flow freely.

So, chop that way, and Feng Shway!

The wizard cackles and light doth sparkle and crackle.

Emmer that friend of mine doth call those strangling vines, and they strangle!

The sun rises, men cheer.

See? We have nothing to fear.

Hurrah! I join you in cheer.

There is only one problem that makes me frown.

Undead return each night to assault the town.

Slowly their numbers grow, and it is clear.

I understand now what the townsfolk fear.

Even though my sword arm has no peer.

I can only do so much, although I’m unmatched in lands distant or near.

And so, we set out to learn what caused this unrest.

Seeking The Book of the Unholy where it was last known to rest.

To the Temple of Corruption, we must go, counting every hour.

While our fair city is ravaged by those that devour!
