Who dares challenge the ghost who stands guard over his fallen comrades? An entire tribe lies buried here, forever forgotten. Who knows what they died protecting? What is certain, the dead will not appreciate being awakened.....

It will take stout hearts and quick minds to survive here..... and a lot of luck....

*she has been standing at the entrance for days, invisible to anyone but a select few, keeping watch, hoping against all hope... but finally admits that she has lost some friends. she glitters now in the shadow of her hiding place and she cries softly fo rthe fallen*

OOC: don't know why another thread was started but...

might as well repost the last couple of posts from #1... oh... #1!, makes sense now...

last thread...

*A shadow appeared at the mouth of the cave. With a flutter, a long pole with a deer skull attached to it materialized. Both had intricate runes carved into them. Soon after the camps food began to spoil*


Lafier']*Lafier woke up .. looked around and went to the pot... the smell coming from the pot told her that something was wrong...

Checking the smoked fish, she finds that they too are spoiled... maggots and mold infest each morsel.

Looking around, she noticed the pole with the skull atop of it... the darkness that eminated from it was strong... *

this is not good... this is not good...

*going back to the pot, Lafier held her hands over it and started to chant in a soft whisper... an Azure glow eminated from her hands and the maisma that tainted the fish stew slowly dissapated. Tired, Lafier crawled back to her bed and fell asleep.*

Hello? is anyone out there?

That I must resort to this. Nobody is to leave the camp until my guards have left it. Any evidence of magic will be punished
**A groaning noise could be heard, and the steady breathing noise continued, with an occasional rustling, but it wasn't getting any closer**
