[Taocow PBEM] [Vesper] Book 3 - Chapter XIII - The Millennium Druids

[Peter Perkins]

Vesper will gather what items he can as they come across the strange Splugorth troops. Giving one to the winter demon
as payment for it's services even though he is pretty sure the mayhem it caused alone was payment for the creature.

He knew from his time in the Federation of Magic Splugorth odd tech was as powerful as most anything.

He turned to the other soldiers, "Gentleman any ideas on how best to find them ? Perhaps you should try radioing ?"

He had the demon help dig free beings when he saw the odd limb sticking out of the mud to see if it was any of the scouts that had gone missing.

Oz's soldiers are little put off by the presence of the Wind Storm
Demon, even if they can't exactly see him, but it certainly has proved
a powerful enemy.

The landscape around the Tree and up to the dam is a mess. Vesper
spots at least a half a dozen dead Kydians, as well as several high
end Splugorth weapons. While some of the druids and other Tree
defenders are gathering bodies and items up, it's a pretty monumental
job and they have not got to this area.

Where snow-covered ground was just a few hours ago is a washed out
mudflat already beginning to freeze over in the cold temperatures. As
Vesper and his odd company of demon and soldiers make their way to the
last known position of the scouts, it's hard to tell anything from
landmarks which have either been washed away or denuded of snow.

As they get closer to the dam, they can see, here and there, the odd
arm or leg sticking out of the mud, but this could be a very hard
search.
