A Swarm's Revenge

[Ulkov]

Just because we've been posting alot of logs of Grims getting it handed to them in a most unpleasant manner, and some folk have wanted to see us get ours from the swarm, here ya go:

A Grimswarm orc dissembler gestures at you!
A void rips open in the area, directly above you!
You are sucked into the void!
Rather abrupt decompression causes you to explode!
Billions and billions of tiny bits of flesh shower everything.
Quite severely dead.
* Ulkov has been vaporized!


It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You realize that you have no outstanding favors which Lorminstra owes you, and without having accomplished a deed for Her, your soul is in danger of vanishing from the land forever!

...departing in 16 mins...

Blasted into a thousand pieces your remains speed through a limitless void for several moments before you feel a tugging on your remains by some unseen force. You realize you are falling rapidly when abruptly your remains come to a crashing stop.

[Solhaven, Liabo Plaza]
Easily as large as the entire North Market, the plaza is paved with a spiral pattern of alternating terra-cotta and golden-yellow bricks. On the eastern edge of the plaza stands an ornate, white limestone arch, and beyond it the brick-paved avenue stretches toward Vornavis' towering west wall. A steady mix of merchants, artisans, and clerics pass through the arch in both directions. You also see a terra-cotta bench with some stuff on it and an old barrel.
Obvious paths: north, west

I feel this should be here too. I got Effed trying to get my rank.

[Ghorsa Isle, Tower]
The view from the tower is spectacular. The city is spread out before you, huddled in a valley beneath the great mountain Stormbrow. Far to the northeast, beyond the walls, the sky is lit with a dim, red glow. To the northwest, you see only mist. A white glaes statue of a dwarf stands tall on a podium, gazing over the town. You also see a wooden charity bin, a marble ledge with some stuff on it and some marble stairs.
Obvious paths: none

A dirt path leads over a rise of earth and down towards a collection of mismatching tents and huts. The rotting stench of the encampment's inhabitants lingers in the air, mixed with the aroma of cooked flesh and burning wood. A heavy grey haze of campfire smoke hangs over the warcamp and drifts down behind the rise of land, creating a pocket of concealment from the eyes of the nearby Grimswarm. You also see some full leather, a small shield, a ball and chain, some full plate, a large shield, a hook-knife, some brigandine armor, a small shield, a hook-knife, a rapier and an obscured path leading out.

[Warcamp, Mess Tent]
Large cooking fires run the length of the tent, sending plumes of smoke up to an opening in the peak of the ceiling. Chunks of meat, some still resembling their former possessors, roast on thick iron spits and fill the tent with a nauseatingly sweet aroma, accompanied by the sound of fat sizzling as it drips into the flames. Bones and pieces of flesh litter the floor, evidence of a combination of poor tableside manners and animalistic carnage. In the shadows of the tent, something is feeding. You also see a Grimswarm giant adept.
