Monday August 25, Willow Creek
I can hardly believe what I have just witnessed. As we approached the village
of Willow Creek, we saw what appeared to be a band of ruffians terrorizing the
peasantry. If only it had been so. We rushed to the fray and were able to save
a handful of people from the wretched claws of the walking dead.
Although many of the surviving townsfolk fled the area, those that remained were
intent on seeing to our needs and mending our wounds. One man said he was
tending his livestock when he saw the creatures spill out from an overgrown trail
that leads to an ancient nearby cemetery. Another villager, a small girl not yet
old enough for the fields, said that she had seen brigands take her father and a
few others in the direction of that trail.
Cruniac immediately sent scouts to scour the area near the trail for the missing
villagers. They returned just before sundown to tell us there were some men
holding captives at the cemetery. Upon hearing the news, the survivors begged us
to help free their kinsmen.
We take our leave in a few minutes..
