The Dead Horde

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 10:13 pm

OOC: I didn't play MW so I don't know what Corprus looks like. This is my idea of it. If you see them differently Forrest Gump, I'll change it. Now on with the scream post. :)

IC: The beggar shifted a bit and groaned. Dro'Raska looked up and watched him closely. Hopefully he wouldn't be angry. Maybe if I give him a few coins, he won't mind. And it is still cheaper than the bar Dro'Raska thought hopefully. The beggar rolled over, a blanket covering his face. He flipped the cover off and looked into Dro'Raska's eyes. A great wave of terror washed of Dro'Raska. He opened his mouth and a thunderous roar tore from his throat resounded through the city of Cheydinhal. A horrid beast of a man, maybe not even a man, stared at him blankly.

His face was swollen, with boils and bubbles of pus erupting from his skin. His cheeks were swollen and huge, making it seem as if he couldn't open his jaw. Drool slid slowly down his bumpy face and wetted his chapped and cracking lips. Dried blood, snot, and mucus covered his nose making Dro'Raska pull back in disgust. His chocolate brown hair only remained in tufts of roughly cut and uneven on his now awkwardly misshapen head. The beast sat up, pus bursting from the boils to reveal huge swollen joints and muscles. His arms were lopsided and he sat uneven, leaning to one side. Dro'Raska glanced back at his eyes and saw that they looked trapped. The only part of him that was remotely human were his eyes. They looked longingly at him and suddenly turned back to the blank stare they began with. The creature, man, or beast grunted with what seemed to be much effort and lashed out his arm. The fingernails were long and sharp, like claws. Dro'Raska, despite being a nimble Khajiit, almost didn't dodge the swipe which came forward at surprising speed for what he expected. He glanced back to the man's eyes one last time and this time they didn't looking longingly, but instead a look of pure rage and oddly hunger.

They sat there for what seemed like ages when finally the beast's jaw dropped, revealing teeth. There was a large variety of teeth in his mouth, broken, chipped, sharp, pointy, dull, blunt, and some were even missing. But they were all brown and rotten. The stench of its breath hit Dro'Raska with full force causing him to wince and rub his now stinging eyes. Then the jaw snapped shut with such ferocity that chips of teeth, spit, and blood flew through the alley. Dro'Raska crawled backwards picking up his pace. Finally he turned over and picked himself up and ran. Another thundering roar escaped his throat and was heard over the rain and thunder.

Dro'Raska looked back and saw the creature lumbering slowly out of the alley, so slow that he could walk and stay safe from that atrocity to humans. But he ran, and let off roars every other step. Bounding towards a large building Dro'Raska turned and saw not the one monster, but ten, twenty of those horrid beasts lumbering off in every direction out in the distance.

IC: "Fortunately, I already got a drink!" Amiel said to the altmer who sat down next to him. Noticing the altmer's necromancer robes, Amiel said "You a necromancer eh? You never know who you'll meet at a bar..." Amiel then turned his attention to the slightly shorter elf. "They owe you a 100 drakes? Whats your name? I'll see what I can do to get you your money." Amiel took another large gulp of mead as he awaited a reply.


Calendras looked at the man Amiel was talking to.

"I don't like the looks of him," Calendras said to Amiel. "Probably trying to swindle you for drink money" He laughed.


"Wait" Said calendras. "Did you hear something? I'm gonig outside to investigate"

Calendras left the inn and looked around into the left to see where the noise had come from. Suddenly a crazed khajiit ran past him and almost knocked him over. he turned around and saw a huge zombie lumbering forward toawrds him. He flung a spell of Turn undead on him but it didn't work. He turn and ran back into the bar Scraming "Monster! There's a monster in the city!"

OOC: That was pretty close, con-tur-eh. Just take that and cross it with an Oblivion zombie.

IC: Fanier looked up at the altmer that had just spoken. At first he was angered by what the altmer had said, but then he realized that it was meant as a joke. "Maybe I am," he laughed. "No, but seriously," he said to the imperial. "They owe me money. Name's Fanier," He held out his arm to the imperial to shake.

IC: "All I have to do is check the records, find his name, and I'll know about how much the guild owes him, if anything. So I'm not worried about that." Amiel paused for a moment as the altmer made his second statement, and said "You know, I think I heard it too." Amiel then listened to fanier give his name, and said, "Fanier? Alright, I'll check the records after I check this noise out. Amiel proceeded out the bar and saw the necromancer cast some sort of spell on a zombie-like creature. When the necromancer retreated, Amiel drew his steel longsword, and began circling the beast.

Xa-raku had finally dried off for the most part. He decided he wouldn't even need to buy a room here, he could just sit here and fall right to sleep. He stared at the fire until the heat started to make his eyes sore. He blinked a few times and then closed them. Leaning back in his chair, Xa-raku began to doze off. He was cruelly snapped out of his peaceful state by some kind of commotion over by the door. He sleepily turned his attention over to the entrance.

Suddenly, the creature charged at amiel, and Amiel dropped to the ground. The shambling creature easily stumbled over Amiel's prone form, and Amiel was quick to stand up. Amiel then attempted to plunge his steel longsword into the creatures anus, but it had started to get up, and his sword ended up piercing the creature's leg. Amiel pulled his sword back, and was suprised to see that the creature seemed unphased. "What the [censored]?"

Calendras, hoping that he had caused enough commotion to get people to help. left the inn agian, he rushed down the alley way to find Amiel battling the Zombing. When he saw openings he flung fireballs at it and summoned a skeloton who rushed to aid them in batttle.

( OOC: Gentlement, i have been waiting for you to repair my armor! I can't continue until you respond. :( )

Before the man had a chance to reply, Primo spoke in a slightly concerned voice,
" Did you hear that noise outside? they seem to be getting louder .. "

Xa-raku stood up from his chair. Mostly everyone else in the inn had swarmed outside to see what the "monster" was, and Xa-raku couldn't get past them to see.

Calendras watched as the creature made its death throes, even worknig together, he and the fighters guild member had only barely managed to kill the creature.

"Here," Said Calendras, aproaching Amiel "Let me heal your wounds"

He held out his hands and some of Amiels worse cut were stiched back together.

"We should alert the city watch" calendras told Amiel.

Amiel was grateful for the healing, and the soothing magick seemed to have a relaxing effect. As Amiel charged, the creature swiped and hit him in the chest, knocking him to the ground. The creature then proceeded to attempt to stomp on Amiel, but the skeletal minion of the necromancer managed to peirce the creature's chest region, causing it to give some ground. Amiel staggered back up and said, "Yeah, we need the guard."

"You go find a guard, I'll stay here and try and shoo away some of these spectators" He siad. Looknig at the increasing crowd of commoners.

"Everyone please back away!" He shouted "This is a matter of the city watch. Go about your normal business. This will all be taken care off!"

"Me neither" Mumbled Calendras "But thid has to be reported to the athourities"

OOC:OH, sorry, I was changing my original post, that wasn't in character.

IC: "Alright!" Amiel rushed to the fighters guild, where there was usually a patrol nearby. Amiel felt a wave of relief as he came across a patroll of two guards. "Theres...some sort of zombie in front of newlands lodge!...come quick!" The guards looked at Amiel in disbelief, but when they noticed the fresh blood on Amiel sword they decided to follow. Amiel quickly returned to where the creature was with two guards in his company.

Calendras hit The citizen that had thrown a knife at the corpses head! "Stop!" He yelled "That could be used as evidence!"

As the crowd dispersed. Calendras went over to the corpse. He examined it fully. He noted some of the keys symptoms and begin to get very worried. This citizen looked like he was in the early stages of the corprus desiase. He had read some of Fir's treatises and they described corprus in this mannor. When the guard arrived. He was going to request to work on the team that would dissect the body.


The guards and Amiel hurried over.

"By the nine Divines!" One of the guard gasped. Shocked at the creature that lay before him. The older guard looked grim. And said to the younger guard "Go fetch the captain. He'll want to see this. Inform the castle mage as well."

"What happened?" He asked.

Calendras and Amiel explained as best they could.

Primo and Fey quickly grabbed their armor and weapons, putting them on as fast as possible.
With Fey carrying the rest of the groups equipment, they ran outside.

Where are the others ... ?

The 7 Imperial's ran down the street towards them.
Ley began to hand them their armor, " We ... w.. we heard.. a noise.. what was it? "

" Some zombie looking creatures. I think i heard of them as a child. Corpus. "

Fey's jaw dropped, he began to shake.
" Bu.... but.. how? is that why Morrowing went silent? "


" We do not have time for your babble right now. Lets go find out what's happening. "
Primo gave Fey a gruff pat on the back, and the group headed towards the noise.

One of the city guards charged at the beast's left flank, only to receive a powerful swipe to the face. THe beast's claws ripped the man's face to shreds, and he was thrown on his backside, writhing in pain. The creature bit into the hapless guard, tearing out what was left of the facial tissue. The other guard charged for the creature, but a second swipe sent the second guard to the ground.
