Agnes is torn and hesitates for a moment before nodding and grabbing hold of two of the survivors and fleeing towards Vellumis. She looks back with tears in her eyes and urges the others to follow. "Hurry!

The departure of so many of the survivors his Agnes hard. The tense atmosphere and lack of food and shelter quick takes its toll and leaves her defeated and demoralized. The dead seem to have abandoned her as well. The near constant whispers of the deceased have gone quiet, seemingly for good. Her thoughts grow increasingly dark as the journey continues. As the bedraggled survivors begin to ascend the final hill overlooking Vellumis, Agnes feels a familiar presence. Her mood begins to lighten as she can finally hear the faint susurrus of the dead whispering to her. Could we be nearing safety at last? Her hope is shattered however as the group arrives at the summit and spots the woman and her grisly trophies. Finally the spirits speak to her. The voices of her Papa, Mama, sister, betrothed and all her friends and neighbors are now joined by the haunting voices of Alyzo, Hurdauw, Jystolo and the Brushpaws. Their words are soft, barely perceptible, but all clearly say the same thing. "Run!"
I almost have a proper post ready. I'll post later tonight. One bit of onfo that would be helpful for the final draft though would be whether or not Squishy survived and I should include him as one of the spirits whispering to Agnes.
"I dunno. If we're being followed shouldn't we try to find out who's following and why?"
Alyzo catches Agnes staring at him. She awkwardly tries to hide her stare before finally coming clean. "What? Someone has to be the thief. Mother always said to beware of musicians. Sorry."
I too feel no need to change preparations.
Agnes is astonished at the missing rations. "How could this be? Surely no one here is a thief?" She looks about for any guilty faces.
I didn't get a chronicle.
Agnes winces but nods and stands. "You're right. We should keep moving. We don't want to make it too easy for the dead to catch us."
Agnes pulls out a javelin and throws it, then reverts to holding Sir Karl's sword in two hands.
I seem to have posted my turn with the incorrect alias. "Red Agnes" is the correct one not "Red" Agnes. For whatever reason I cannot actually access the profile for "Red" Agnes although I can still post as her somehow.
As the crows swoop in to attack, Agnes's eyes roll back in her head and her hair begins to blow in a nonexistent breeze. She speaks in a deep voice very unlike her normally quiet soprano. "We are ambushed from above! Prepare for battle!"
Agnes lashes out at the attacking crows with Sir Karl's sword twice then finishes with a kick.
Travel-In front with both hands on Sir Karl's bastard sword.
Agnes is uncertain of precisely what setting up a camp involves but manages to complete the task satisfactorily.
"The river does sound like the better choice." Agnes decides not to mention that the river would be easier to follow if harm should befall the party's scouts.
Sorry. I also thought my intent was clear. Agnes is in front with both hands on her bastard sword since she can drop one as a free action if needed. She was planning on doing search for exploration but Barlespin makes a good case for evade undead so she will do that instead.
Red Agnes is in front with Sir Karl's bastard sword in hand.
Agnes nervously rubs the hilt of Sir Karl's sword in her hand. "Vellumis is the closest settlement. Do you think they managed to hold out against the hordes?"
Agnes does what she can to set up the camp for the evening.
Agnes continues to be the rear guard. Unfortunately in her haste to get everyone across the bridge she proves to be less stealthy than she would like.
Agnes grips Sir Karl's sword tightly, keeping herself between the zombie bear and the rest of the survivors. She motions for them to go on ahead while she plays rear guard.
Rokvel finishes tranfering the rune and hands the sword back to Red "Whaddya think, lassie?" Agnes takes the weapon and gives it a few practice swings. She nods approvingly. "This is excellent. Thanks Rokvel."
"Well don't look at me. I have no clue." Agnes gives an exaggerated shrug.
"Father Constan clearly thought that whatever is in there is important enough to keep. You need to open it and decide if it still needs to be secret."
While Rokvel works on Sir Karl's sword, Agnes thoroughly searches the area. perception to search:
Agnes shrugs. "First watch, I guess? Rokvel? Do you think you have enough materials here to swap that rune from Dame Talia's shortsword to Sir Karl's sword?" Agnes takes first watch. As for the food I can't seem to find a post stating how much we have.
Agnes shrugs. "First watch, I guess? Rokvel? Do you think you have enough materials here to swap that rune from Dame Talia's shortsword to Sir Karl's sword?"
Agnes draws Sir Karl's sword and slashes at the remaining zombie.
After landing a solid blow she slashes again with Dame Talia's shortsword.
Agnes moves forward and slashes at a zombie before falling back to her original spot in the vanguard.
I thought I responded but looking back I guess I didn't after all. Yeah, I'm totally open to continuing past the end of outpost.

Agnes leans over to Rokvel and whispers, "Do you think your tools will be intact after all these years?"

Agnes sadly pokes around the ruins of her former home. She frowns as she spots a familiar section of floor that seems relatively undamaged. Prying up a loose floorboard she uncovers a pair of boots that seem untouched by the years. Tears come to her eyes as she puts the boots on. "They still fit. Mother gave these to me when Heinrich started courting me. She wanted to make sure I always had protection if he should get fresh." Reaching into the boot she draws a dagger which she then throws into a beam nearby. She draws another dagger from her boot and the first one fades, leaving no trace other than a mark in the wooden beam. "The town hall will be fine."
Agnes is from Yua's Hope
Agnes sobs in anguish. "Mama, no. I did my best. I'm no warrior. Please believe me." She cocks her head as if listening to something. "Barlespin?" Sensing that the tripkee is still being attacked, she rushes to his aid.
Angnes sobs. "Mama?" Fighting past her tears she turns her attention to the undead in front of her. She draws Sir Karl's sword and slashes. She follows up with a slice from Dame Talia's shortsword.
Agnes goes pale at the familiar voice. I...I...I recognize that voice." She moves to engage the closest zombie.
So I assume that Agnes recognizes some of the voices of the haunt since she critically failed her save. Who is it that she hears? Possibilities include but are not limited to Papa, Mama, Marta (sister), Heinrich (Fiancee), Sir Karl, Mrs. Orzist, Willem (Mrs. Orzist's young son), little Gerta (Mrs. Orzist's young daughter), Mrs. Beimler, Bruno Altdorf. There were many others as yet unnamed at Agnes's engagement party. Mama, Bruno, Heinrich and Marta were all zombiefied and later destroyed by Agnes. The rest were killed in the initial attack but not encountered as undead by Agnes. Also, Agnes is trained in undead lore but not religion. Could undead lore be used to disable the haunt?

Agnes pulls out her crowbar and attempts to open the chest.
"The Open Pot is across the street. We should check it out while we're close.
"They seem contained for now. Let's go to the Mordesha House Lodge over there. Those Pathfinders are known graverobbers. If there's anywhere in town besides the cathedral with anything useful against undead it's there." She points to the old Pathfinder Society lodge next door. search:
