Log

Showing up to Lancaster, our plan for the day was to further investigate the Paravicar's noted locations. Upon arriving at the usual crossroads, we instead discovered a multitude of undead trying to enter a particular shop. Slaying the zombie hordes, we were quickly accosted by further waves of the undead. Swarms of animal skulls, skeletal hulks, giant undead worms, necral worm swarms, and even the tidal wave of corpses previously seen when we first visited the area. The "Street Sweeper" as we've taken to calling it was especially dangerous, telekinetically throwing piles of scrap and viscera or using one of the many bodies within it to attack us. We killed it quickly, but it took everything we had to kill it before it brought any of us down. Its blows were especially potent, the scrap ball toss knocking Illiam cleanly out of the air.

In the end we did clear out the hordes, finding multiple runes and other equipment within we can make good use of. My assumption is that the undead were after the staff found inside, though other theories include them being drawn to the "amazing deals" offered inside.
