The Tribe immediately jumped back into battle, with Me taking her beaten polar bear form and becoming reinvigorated as a fresh Huge Polar Bear. With this turn of events the Tribe began to turn the tide of battle, with the zombie and skeletal Goliaths. The Battle moved and flowed, and the Zombies again smashed into Me knocking her out of her Polar bear form, and a zombie killed Hedgewig, dropping Allyria to her knees with her mask changing immediately to a mourning face.

The Tribe eventually cleaned up the Zombie and Skeletal hoard, and sat in the graveyard shaken, discussing what to do. Vimak stated that the graveyard should be as safe as anywhere for a quick rest, and the Tribe took a short-rest here to recover and heal a bit before moving towards the largest, oldest barrow where it seemed the ground shaking came from.

While taking the short-rest the Tribe tried to determine what the cause of the horrors at the graveyard would be. Vimak stepped in stating that this did not feel the same as when we went to battle Ongoxku and free the Tears of Serenrea, in fact, the corruption here felt like the Chained Oblivion, an ancient corruption that inflicted the world. This was sobering to the Tribe and they again discussed if this was something they could handle themselves.

Feeling some trepidation, the Tribe moved along following Vimak’s lead to the main Barrow. Upon getting close to the barrow a feeling of dread and horror came upon the Entire Tribe, and as they noticed more zombies shambling towards them the Tribe felt this horror seep into their souls and when initiative was rolled everyone suffered a penalty to the roll, and other horrors.

Upon seeing the Zombies start to move, Entropy and Arkenite both noted a single raven that landed on the mausoleum and seemed somehow to be involved with this battle. Entropy and Arkenite quickly shared a glance, and they each nodded towards the other, a plan in place. The Tribe tried to shake this horror off, and began the battle, quickly dispatching a zombie and feeling pretty confident about this battle. After most of the Tribe had taken their first action, a ghostly entity rolled onto the field and quickly moved into Ashe’s body, taking control of him and terrifying most of the rest of the Tribe.

As this happened, Entropy’s turn finally arrived and he moved towards the zombies attacking Allyria, and as the last second as he summoned the eldritch blast into his fists, turned and unleashed the two blasts directly at the Raven. The first beam missed the raven as it stepped aside, directly into the second beam that vaporized the raven into a pile of feathers. When this happened, the underlying horror dispersed, and a beam of light shot town into the fray where the Raven was. The Tribe feeling slightly better went to continue the fight, and that is where this session ended.
