As
we ride the Union Blue on our way to Selina I remind myself that the
lord has called upon me to serve him at all times. As i reflect upon the
last few days I realized I have not been as faithful to God and decide
to spend a good amount of the train ride in thought and prayer, and then
I doze off into a sleep. Our ride stops abruptly as I awaken, for us to
discover, another train stopped ahead. The conductors of each train
spoke and returned to inform us the tracks have been severely damaged
and we cannot proceed until the appropriate repairs are made. The lord
has blessed our day however and a local town was readily available to
accept us for some rest. As we arrived into the town of Lazerath, we
observed a small band abusing an elderly lady. A number of our group ran
to assist this poor woman, who appeared disheveled and beaten, and as
we ran to assist, the band of goons left to act foolishly elsewhere. The
old lady pulled a knife on me as I tried to help her but left without
incident. After settling into town and ensuring that our captive Clem
was acquainted at the steel motel, we all went on our separate ways for
the evening. I proceeded to the local Methodist church and met Reverend
Thomas, and sought out some enlightenment. After some time praying and
reflecting, I returned the business of I’ll repute to check on my new
friends. Everything seemed okay so I strummed my guitar outside for a
couple hours. Without warning a hear the crashing of broken glass and
chairs and tables, and run back into Rohan’s bar to see Enyeto and one
of ruffians from earlier, Leon, attacking Enyeto. Our other pal, Running
Bear, helped fight off our assailant which sparked Leon’s buddies to
run to his aid. I attempted to stop the fight and intervene between our
party and Leon, without success. Leon’s friend pulled me to the side to
explain the error of my ways however I informed him that God would be
looking at his actions unfavorably and that it would be in his best
interest to skedaddle, to which his compliance was gained. The fighting
intensified as Leon cold-cocked Enyeto for the final blow which sent him
to his heathen spirit world for a time, and Leon proceeded to pull out a
large knife and went after our next Native ally. A failed fight with
Dog and Running Bear resulted in Leon’s untimely demise, rest his soul.
The commotion subsided, and the mess was cleaned up. Once again, our
party broke up to learn more about the town. The Easterner, Henry, and
myself went back to the town, for myself I wanted to inquire about the
orphans in town running about. I then heard the voice of God speak to
me, in a weary fashion as a disturbing darkness fell upon our town…
followed by an unnerving screech. Henry and I ran out to the Sheriff’s
office, to find none other than Leon, with all of his wounds still
ornamenting his body, and yet, seemingly very much alive, or at least
cohesive. I recall stories from my childhood of such acts of unholiness,
zombies, the undead, an army of darkness. My faith held me strong
against the undead, as I engaged in combat with Leon and his other
unholy friends. Two of them managed to get ahold of me and when all hope
seemed gone, God’s will kept me from suffering any harm, and with the
aid of my party, we managed to return Leon and his friend back to the
ground. I frantically look around to see more of the undead encroaching
upon the town, what are we to do? I run back out into the open field
after checking on our prisoner, who is weeping in fear, but is safe. As
our battle ensued, from across the rail came a monstrosity of undead
bodies, all seemingly melted together, the size of buildings, truly only
the word of God will help us survive. Good old Joseph came running out
of the hardware store and rolled a barrel into a group of larger
zombies, shot the barrel and caused raining fire. I ran into Rogan’s bar
and enlisted the help of the local Law Enforcement agents, and
proceeded to return to the outside and send another unholy creature back
to the grave. I notice the other comrades of mine successfully
dispatching more undead, a new warrior joins us from out of town, Tex,
the Nightstalker, as well as a strange white Bison stampeding all
around. These creatures are profound even for the undead, convulsing and
absorbing other undead, creating even more abominations. Once again, to
the astonishment of the party, the great white Buffalo, which had been
holding down the area near the track, turned back into Enyeto, I have to
marvel that even though his beliefs are wrong, they are powerful, that
cannot be denied. And soon after, a blessing from the heavens as our
large undead for falls to our mighty lord’s wrath. I then gathered a
possy to include Rogan and Sheriff Chester, and began moving towards the
tracks to clear the town. The town has turned into a militia, it’s
truly amazing to see the resolve of citizens. The fight ends with Henry
and his impressive marksmanship taking out the final large zombie.
Following the fight, the promiscuous ladies of Rogan’s bar offered a 50%
discount on all sinful activities, his statement was “50% every round”.
The wise Henry indicated that each round is “18 holes”, I laugh
although I cannot nor do I want to participate. We conversed with our
new party member, who we notices is very pale skinned, and spoke with
the bartender, Rogan. Rogan says he has seen those creatures before
peeping in the windows. We also discussed how we observed some Zombies
captured some of the orphan children, which is troublesome. Reverend
Thomas came running into the bar screaming that “they took the babies!,
Mrs. Bloom the teacher is dead”, and Thompson has been bit very badly. I
quickly attempt to perform a miracle and heal Rev Thompson and heal his
bites, but I am unsure if it was successful.
The Arterial spray of bright red blood had barely stopped, as the Cherokee looted the dying outlaw. His comrade to the North was being treated in the same fashion, a sight that was familiar to me but not welcomed. Warnings from the North, riders approaching, I once again took cover in the undergrowth with the Cherokee, this time the Dandy Man joins us, still reeling from his impressive kill shot on the outlaw. Two riders approach, one a military man with a single-arm, he is flanked by a very dirty and peculiar looking man. I couldn't distinguish what tribe he belonged to, nor could I tell where his smell ended and the horses began. The one-armed man introduced himself as one William Tanner and after some back and forth between my new riding partners and him, we found that he was the father of the children who were taken in town. After offering to pay us each more money on top of the bounty we had agreed to, we set off East. Tanners smelly companion, wh...
