Full Report
So that was certainly a thing. Been a while since I fought undead but was an interesting set of fights all the same. Anyways, starting from the top, found a flier on a post somewhere, asking for help escorting someone to a place that might be haunted, yea 'might', just like I might be a monkey. Anyways, off topic. Followed the meeting instructions on the post, and got to a pub where met up with the group, a few cool beans and slightly creepy guy, but he was paying us and giving us free potions so wasn't going to question it. He just wanted an escort, see about the undead summoning in the Scouts Graveyard and we all agreed to help him do it.
Few days walking later, and yours truly keeping the group fully fed with her scavenging and foraging expertise, we managed got to the graveyard, and no sooner had we arrived than were we thrust to combat, as the dead came to rise again. First, a pack of four dead wolves rose from their graves and came to attack us, biting and slashing but with a few quick bursts of fist and spell they were but reduced to bone fragments. By this time though, and with all that walking, it was night, so we turned in, where nothing eventful did happen till morning, when another group, this time a trio of zombies, two shamblers and one really gross one that tried to grab all over me...disgusting.
Again though, we had a good group on us, so we were able to dispatch them with relative ease, though our hardest was yet to come, as after just a short hour of rest and healing, we managed to draw the attention of two more beings; an owl bear who'd been reduced to a shambling corpse, and a strange other zombie that...didn't actually get to do that much as it charged me and I knocked its head off. Either way, owl bear had a nasty bit of durability and it took some doing to get it down, but between the wonderful casters we had on hand and my own magnificent staff of Bo, we managed to bisect the owl bear and make the area...a bit safer? Truthfully not entirely sure because the patron disappeared after the rest after the wolves, and we never actually found out who or what was summoning the undead, but least we dealt with a handful of them and made the next party that that shady hooded fella might bring down that road a bit of an easier time
