Sor Ulrich Hein Battle Report.
The rain fell while the expedition was in the field. I was near the prince, very near. The cloak of night covered our heads, but the stars hid from our eyes, and what was more disturbing was the furious dark red sky that even now refuses to run away from my memory.
Sor Ulrich drawning
We had already had several battles so far with few casualties.We walked to the nearest town, already prepared for a new battle.We noticed a great track and ... traces of human bodies scattered on the floor.Our spies returned and told us that the town seemed deserted. In the rush of training and preparations, the prince was certain that there were few men in town and would be easy to take it without guards.
We crossed a hill and could observe the city from a high place. No movement or even torches or signs of life. The Prince commanded that we go foward to make a sneaky attack on the houses, and that's what our soldiers did.
"Only bodies in the houses, my lord!" - Shouted the captain of one of the brigades. We went down the ravine to reach the city, at that time I lost my balance and I fell awkwardly, that was enough to distract ourself with the sound of my armor touching the ground, echoing in the silence of that dark night. I got up with the help of the prince smiling a little, gentle as ever. "Caution Sor Ulrich, the night knows how to hide its dangers."I apologized to the Prince, and a moment later I noticed the screams and sounds of battle. The dead rose from the darkness, armed and powerful, and now we battled demons.Their heads fall with our blows but they went ahead. Your majesty, and our men panicked and began to flee, but it was too late, the city was surrounded by the dead who crept silently behind our backs. We struggled with no hope for our lives, and the dead ate the flesh of our soldiers who fell, the terror spread when the wounded were taken by walking corpses and devoured in front of us. We had one soldier for every group of five apparently dead, the prince fought bravely with us .
That's when something hit my head and I woke up still not sure how long after. The dead were burned alive, there was a great smell of burning, a man picked me up, he said that we needed to leave from there. I did not see anyone else around me, just bodies and more bodies, fire and screams. I noticed and saw that the man possessed a black gown and a cloak with which covered his head, he had a white beard that made explicit his age and he used a steel sword which was very well designed. I got up and started to search for our prince, through the bodies piled up and burned, by my companions who were consumed by death.And I heard a scream, the man who picked me up asked me to come out of there, screaming loudly. I did not understand the subject and tried to figure out by looking around, and saw shadows creeping across the floor, black and cadaverous, but as ethereal spirits of the more fanciful tales. They walked generating an awful noise of mourning and dragged their swords on the floor, the man said some strange words while I sought my sword, the spectrum appeared before me prepared to attack, I tried to move my sword to cut him in half but it didn't hurt it! He cocked his arm to ready an attack, his body boiled and burst into flames. The man with the white beard was with his hands pointed at the monster and he was tired, I had time to grab my sword and ran away,I did not believe I had been saved by a heretic magic user,your majesty, but I saw no other choice but to retreat ... I found no one standing and was chased by several spectra, but managed to escape to the bay and I drove to our ship. Sailors were waiting and they rescued me.
This is my story, your majesty, I do not know where the soldiers were nor our prince, but my report is not all favorable to us, that place is evil and the evil beings are taking everything, even the dead from the tombs to use them in the battles.
I know that it is hard to believe me, but I think that we need to stay home and prepare to one day, have to fight with those things...
The Prince is missing in the darkness...and we must pray to the gods for him...
