What a Shambles?!

The party awake on the outskirts of the abandoned town of Thundertree, Victor had previously noticed from a distance that undead were skulking around the town. Prepairing for what could be a busy day sat around getting ready to battle some undead. Azriel arrive early in the morning followed by a new companion Thorin. The Stoic Dwarf a new member of the Lords Alliance was sent for by Sildar, Every member of the Lords Alliance need to perform some tasks to become a full member of the alliance. Sildar requested a pair of recruits to assist the party as in the last few days he’s received information that there might be more danger then the party can handle. Throin a dwarven Cleric was sent to help the party to find the Rockseeker brother and the entrance of Wave Echo Cave. When he arrived he found that he was too late, the party had already headed north towards Thundertree. But with great fortune a member of the party was also late, Sildar informed Azrial about Thorins goals and that he is here to help to bring order to the land He also said that another person would arrive soon as well, but they will follow on. He asked Thorin to leave markers along their path for the other recruit to follow.

The party didn’t sneak around the grass lands, they found a number of Stirges Corpses and a burn out carcass of an Owlbear. At around 8am the party reunite and Azrial makes the introductions from the party to Thorin (he really didn’t but I thought it would be smoother this way. It was more like, “I don’t know… I’ve walked with him for 14 days and haven’t spoken to him once ;) )

The party decide to enter the town from the west, they find one a number of buildings, As the party search the western outskirts of town as Azrial (who else) started to search a building he was attacked by a pair of twig blights these wooden creatures attacked but were swiftly dispatched. The party continued searching until they were attacked by another eight Twig Blights. The party are attacked but once again quickly destroy the wooden beasts. Kal notices something moving to the east, the party move on (Without looking around) then are attacked by four ash zombies.

The party are once again attacked but this time a crowed of zombies rush towards the party. Eight Ash Zombies attack the party, following a claw strike to Pfenix the Ash Zombie spat ash into his face causing blindness. The party attack and take down the zombies one at a time. When there was only one left an abomination erupted from the east, The Shambles is a very rate creature, Caused by a evil wizard who makes a mistake while casting a spell to raise skeletons. The spell drains the lifeforce from the Wizard and brings all the bones that surround the local area into one monster. New Shambles can consist of decaying bodies until the flesh rots away from the bones of the creature. The Shambles seems to be a collection of multiple skeletons not just humans but animals as well. The Shambles that attacked the party was a 8ft tall collection of random bones joined together by magic. The Shambles attacks and after an epic battle the party destroy the shambles. Once again the party are battered and bruised the party decide to take a short rest. Azrial searches the nearest ruin and the party rests for an hour.

I ended the session there as it was getting a little late for me. ;)
