Night of the Dead
A chilly autumn wind roared through the Moonglow Cemetery extinguishing my small lantern. At the aged iron gates I saw a solitary guard approaching. I knew I had been seen.
“I swear to you I am not a grave robber. I need help!” I blurted out awkwardly. The guard said nothing in reply. I knew why I would not be believed. My clothes were filthy with graveyard dust and I had a shovel in my hand. The silence of the guard did nothing to reassure me as he drew his blade.
“You’ve got to believe me sir, the undead are down there, hundreds of them. They are building a tunnel. Remember the ships! They are coming, can’t you hear them digging?”
The guard said nothing but he watched me silently through the slits of his plate helmet. He shambled closer and I could see that his hands were thick with decay; the fingers had rotted down to the bone. I turned to run but there were more approaching, I was surrounded.
Note:
The event will start on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 8:00 PM EST. Search the island of Moonglow for clues and an entry into the tunnels. The entry way will be near where you find clues indicating recent undead activity. Certain individuals such as Inu and Selicus may also have clues. Please note that you cannot get into the tunnels until the event starts. The Night of the Dead event will continue on Sunday, October 25, 2009 at 8:30 PM EST.
