For the most part, these are irritating but harmless exiles<br \/>\nthat usually end up with heaps of bad karma. Sometimes, however, these<br \/>\nonerous pests can manage to piss off an angry god. Today, a sylvan who<br \/>\ncalls herself MotherOfUndine did just that. I was in Orga Camp when it<br \/>\nhappened. Having just completed an OC2 rescue, I relaxed loungingly in<br \/>\nthe now empty camp, enjoying all the spirit links I had garnered.<br \/>\nSuddenly, several of my friends started falling to undine that I&#8217;d<br \/>\nnever even heard of before. A quick scrying told me they were in East<br \/>\nField, and I abandoned Orga Camp for this unknown menace.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Upon reaching my destination, I found the field<br \/>\nlittered with corpses. Some were even walking about, killing people.<br \/>\nThese were the &#8220;Rotting Corpses&#8221;, undine who resembled Corpse<br \/>\nWarriors(don&#8217;t all decomposing bodies?) but hit twice as hard. Luckily,<br \/>\nexiles from town were beginning to take notice of this new threat, and<br \/>\na rescue party arrived, and quickly dispatched the Rotting Corpse. We<br \/>\nthen entered the Undine Hut, the source of all these foul undine. We<br \/>\nwere greeted by an army of Rotting Corpses.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/rotting.gif\" alt=\"Rotting Corpses!\" width=\"322\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>The undine posed quite a challenge, but what<br \/>\nawaited us below the hut would prove to be much more fatal. The momment<br \/>\nI descended the stairs, I was immediately felled by a small army of<br \/>\nundine. Corpse Warriors mingled freely with Rotting Corpses, and<br \/>\nseveral Lesser Spectres flew around for effect. But the true danger was<br \/>\nnone of those. Behind this wall of undine stood the greater undine that<br \/>\nwould be the downfall of many exiles that day: the Corpse Terror. It<br \/>\nresembled a Death Furie in appearance; a short and stout corpse with a<br \/>\nbad hairdo. What it could do was much worse. The Terror moved about<br \/>\nwith great speed and agility for an undine, and felled most exiles with<br \/>\nbut two swings. Only one for me, of course. The Terror lay waste all<br \/>\nthe exiles that were present, and followed the survivors to the town of<br \/>\nPuddleby itself. There was begun the long and bloody battle against the<br \/>\nTerror, &#8217;til finally a small army of exiles cornered it near the<br \/>\nFighter Hall, and put the foul beast to rest.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/terror.gif\" alt=\"The Corpse Terror\" width=\"341\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Now, the start of all this, the self styled<br \/>\n&#8220;MotherOfUndine&#8221; was put to trial, and was convicted of summoning<br \/>\nundine, and jailed. It seemed that her mock rites and false chants had<br \/>\nangered the wrong god that day, and brought about the undead<br \/>\nretribution. What is this world coming to?
