Cities Under Attack

trange things have happened lately. While the guards of some cities seem to be idle, monsters began to invade towns and attacking the citizens. It all started with armies of Headless in Cove, which suddenly gathered and attacked the small town. The attack came totally unexpected, many people were scared, some killed. Usually Headless are not too much of a challenge for the skilled traveller, but their appearing in great numbers caused a lot of trouble. When the word had spread, warriors from all over Britannia arrived at Cove and put an end to the horror. It is noteworthy that no guards interfered with the actions of the monsters, but they still had an eye on the humans and punished acts of criminals like they did before.

A few days later Undead began to haunt Trinsic, molesting honest citizens and innocent shop keepers. However, the skeletons, zombies and ghouls could be kept under control by brave fighters.

During an scouting tour on the road between Trinsic and Britain I discovered that this road was not save anymore. Lizardmen and Ratmen camped near the road, attacking travellers. Suddenly the situation escalated. More and more Undead gathered in Trinsic, Trolls attacked Vesper, Headless invaded Cove, Orcs plundered Yew, Lizardmen and Ratmen haunted Britannia. Even the towns in the Lost Lands were invaded by Ophidians.

Especially the security of Trinsic seemed to be endangered. Every now and then gangs Undead showed up at different places in town. Then, all of a sudden, armies of skeletons, wraiths, ghouls, shades, liches, skeletal knights (very dangerous!) and skeleton mages appeared, making life in the city a hell. Many citizens had died or fled while still there was confusion about the cause of this evil. Only few brave travellers dared to enter Trinsic these days.

Meanwhile forces of brave fighters gather at the Trinsic west gate regularly to fight back the attacks of undead and keep the city save and clean. These days you could see all different kinds of people there; nobles and ignobles, honorable and dishonorable. Even pirates showed up now and then. They all came to save the town of Trinsic.

Rumor has it cracks in the Trinsic city wall were discovered. Maybe these cracks had something to do with the monster attacks? "This needs to be investigated!" McBykar thought.
