Today’s adventure

Our adventurers find themselves in an unfamiliar village. Many of the houses appear to be corrupted. A quick investigation reveals a large tree of dark matter at the center of the village. The corruption is spreading.

Delta begins checking uncorrupted houses to see if any villagers can be rescued. He discovers a zombie and quickly destroys it. Angy Boy, Apollo, and Blaze join in the effort and begin clearing house after house. Along the way they defeat numerous zombies.

Delta discovers that touching the corruption is not a good idea as it begins to spread to anything that touches it. He withdraws and manages to escape the corruption.

Eventually, the adventurers encounter a statue near the tree. Delta reads a message below the statue that reads:

A savior of this village, the dragon slayer

Delta investigates a large, partially corrupted building near the statue. He finds a map showing the current village among its neighboring villages. The map indicates that some nearby villages are corrupted. Delta moves to the corrupted side of the building, dragging Blaze along. They discover a table holding a purple cube.

Angy Boy follows into the building and explores. Meanwhile, Apollo flies around the tree playing sounds. Cube monsters begin to swarm and he drops a handful of arrows. One cube monster is struck by several arrows.

Aware of their own weariness the group retreats to the large building to camp for the night. A hoard of zombies roams the village.

Until next time…
