New souls, old trails

The Deadpoint Drift | Vol 5 Issue 2

From the Desk of Jill Cannirunnipelt

The influx of newcomers continues this week, with at least two—possibly three—new souls arriving from Port Tessalad in the past few days. Confirmed was a Half-Elf Ranger who goes by Daverink and an impatient Dragonborn named Golf of Juice. Folks about town saw a third, cloaked figure speeding out after Karick Stahlamb led the two fresh recruits out towards the ferry.

From what I've gathered, they returned to Dorbard South, following the same path as reported in the last issue of the Drift. More Drake meat came back with them, which seems to confirm that the animals have spawned there in some numbers. The travelers looked fairly scuffed up and did not make much conversation upon return—I will do my best to get a full account as always!

Update

I spoke to Karick, and evidently the Ogre Statues that he and Nick discovered are actually—in his words—zombies. More specifically, he said, "The zombies are coming! The zombies are coming!"

After this curious development I spoke to Yerra to see if she had any experience with this kind of necromancy, but she was of the mind that the adventurer might've had too much bourbon at the Kedge. In either case, Deadpoint itself should be perfectly safe from any zombie threat. Even if they learned to swim from Dorbard, the Aquan Vorwash stationed here would doubtlessly put them to a swift end.
