THE MAYOR IS DEAD!

Greetings Tae, seems that as far as possible you have everything under control here, blessed be,

From what I witnessed in the Temple that day, the creature inside Travis is the leader of this invasion, we need to find him. Sorry but was impossible to capture him as we discussed, at least We rescued Kendra and Aerandir... ahhh, about our doubts on  Bryanna, no she isn't infected, I checked when she entered the Temple that day,

I was helping the efforts outside Town and rumors in the surroundings say that a group of the infected people are now gathered with the Gnolls in their cave,

I'll check things inside the House of Plenty, please send every Chauntean you can find to meet me there, if you need me just send word and you'll have my aid as always old friend,

We've been through so much together all these years to protect Shadowdale... We'll prevail this time too.

*Entering the Temple Julia sees the package, the blood and the corpse and runs to see who lies there.*

*Jonah thanks the militia men and women for their service, and immediately sets them to task, keeping things flowing in and around the hospital. He organizes the mages, keeping them paired with at least one militia, and has them keeping regular checks on one another as well. During one of Taron's inspections, he mentions having spoken to Lord Blue last night, and that he mentioned setting up a camp somewhere outside the East Gate.*

The empty church echos with Julia's foot falls as she rushes to the gory mess. Blood splatters the pews and pools on the carpet making it slick. As she looks at the scene it's hard to even make sense of the brutality needed to physically cut a person apart like this. The arms were severed then cut apart at the elbows, hands removed, and continues to the feet being seperated. Parts of the corpse are spread for yards in every direction. After a few minutes of searching she finds the head under the table by the window.

It seems Travis is no longer in charge.

*Julia goes to the Temple door and shouts to Taeron*

You must come inside now my friend, fast. Bring Sister Laura and Jonah with you also, we'll need their help. Try to find Blue, his Arcane knowledge will be of use too.

*Taeron was just talking to Blue, occasionally looking towards the Twisted Tower - when Julia shouts, he puts one of the senior militia officers in charge of the defenses and rushes towards the temple. He can be seen talking to Julia in a low voice as they go in, frequently pointing to Blue - as if asking him to confirm his words*

Rwolf returns from Myth Drannor with the harvest mistress and then sets out to see if he can find the Field Guardians left on post around the Shadowdale Woods(should be 8 to 10) and return with them for inspection for Worms.

*Julia talks with Tae and Blue inside, makes sure everyone is checked for worms, they examine Travis body to see if there are a creature inside him. After that Julia stays in the Temple, cleaning and organizing things, gathering the rest of the Chaunteans and aiding Rwolf.

She can be found, by all those who need, the people and citizens of Shadowdale, working hard all around Town, for days without rest. She is a constant presence helping and supporting the City efforts.

She prays with the farmers and families every sunset, giving them blessings and raising their morale.

Meanwhile she makes also everything possible to find Lady Glamerie's body and give her a proper burial.*

The body is easily found as it was left in her room. The priests and paladins sit idle in the church. Most of the townsfolk are either hiding in their homes or joining the groups being sent out of town. Many still wonder the streets mumbling about the horror of having an evil creature isnide of them telling them to do things or it would hurt loved ones. More then one whispers about seeing someone refuse only to scream in pain and die....then get up again.

Her initial actions and followup circuit of the town's border completed Bryanna makes her way into the Chauntean temple, making sure the door stays open after being trapped inside on her last visit. She looks about for Julia before addressing the other woman.

"How are things here High Harvestmistress?"

Jonah tries to guide traumatized folks to the Hospital area as well; some time apart from the horror in a safe environment can do wonders. He always has a kettle brewing with calming herbs, as well as a shoulder to just cry on. He tells them of the Suffering of Ilmater, and suggests they offer a prayer or two to the Broken God to relieve their suffering.

In his own time, Jonah also directs his own prayers and meditations to relieving the suffering of these townsfolk in the aftermath of such horror. He prays for guidance and endurance in helping those effected.

After a night's rest, Laura joins Brother Jonah in his endeavors, hoping a friendly smile and warm eyes will bring some out of hiding.
