Centrum Glacies Session 82: More Zombie Hordes
Week 82 Dungeons and Dragons Campaign in Centrum Glacies continues with the party trapped in a dangerous jungle. More Zombie Hordes lie in wait deep in the cursed swamps.
Like my other campaign, I’m turning this one into a book series. You can check out the first one here.
Anyway, just like my other campaign, there is a whole lot going on and I don’t want to elaborate on every moving piece in the story. You can see the whole thing in the book series.
!!!Trigger Warning!!!
This story deals with a cruel world with some horrific twists. So far, this campaign has featured: Animals getting killed, Genocide, lots of body horror, evil cults, brainwashing, torture, psychological warfare, child abuse, slavery.
One of the party members had an eye gouged out and lost an arm. Not exactly the way it happens in Berserk, but that might have been the inspiration for it. The group was incinerated in lava. But rather than die, they were transformed into Demons. They might be free from these transformations for now, but only time will tell what this means for them.
!!!Final Trigger Warning!!!
As if a cursed jungle filled with more and more Zombie Hordes wasn’t bad enough, the party was starting to run out of steam. Which was the worst moment for them to discover that several Cult of Obsidian Members were sneaking around. They used the fact that the group was focused on the living dead to ambush them from the shadows and try to pick off the weakened members.
Jyona had once more cast haste on Teztcal to try and make use of his remarkable powers to slaughter wave after wave of the Zombies. But that spell had reached its limits. And when it ended, it completely winded the Half Elf, leaving her vulnerable.
More Monsters
Lucky for her that the rest of the party had cleared the area nearby. But the group knew more Zombie Hordes lie in wait. And who knew what else they might find beyond it. For that reason, Obrom cast Haste on the Dragon, once more allowing Teztcal to continue his onslaught.
The Dragon flew north towards where the rest of the Zombies likely were. Jyona’s crafted Golem not far behind. The rest of the group trailed behind, mostly to make sure that stray Cultists or other monsters didn’t attack Jyona while she was defenseless.
Teztcal got his wish and found enemies. In fact he found far more enemies than he had meant to. Worse, many of the monsters nearby where zombified Druids. Teztcal was dragged into the swamp with only his wings keeping him from being submerged in the deadly muck. And as he was dragged around and away from both friends and light sources, countless other Undead swiped at him, all eager to taste his flesh.
But up close and personal was right where Teztcal wanted to be. He did take a beating from the countless Undead that had surrounded him, but he returned the favor with his breath weapon. The Zombies had lined themselves up perfectly. And in a single attack, he massively thinned the hordes.
Wrap Up
The Hordes might be diminishing, but the party is growing tired. And they still have not encountered whatever is controlling the monsters. And based on what they have fought so far, its likely to be something exceptionally dangerous.
