We are coming into the black moment where all hope is lost. The group doesn’t know if this is some infection or something else entirely, but they know that the person grievously injured by these things is dying and showing signs of becoming crazy. He rages and tries to lash out and attack them, blaming them for his condition and acting as though he is going to kill him. They put him down.
This leads them to a conversation about how they are going to get to the objective and even if they should still get to the objective or go home. They start to think about this strange place and this strange magic and the horrors here and Marek at least wants to turn back. Thea’s sister is deeply somber during this entire process and over the course of the conversation exhibits more weakness. She slumps back against a wall at one point and lets her hands fall away from her and we realize that she was bitten.
Now the team, having seen someone begin to rage from this (or so they think) are wondering if she has the sickness and what they need to do and Ikrivain is the only one who thinks that she should be killed though he is unwilling to say it.
Note: She is infected, but this is because she was bitten by someone and this is a normal infection. The zombie virus is magical in nature and should they choose to kill her it will be for a poor reason.
Some Thoughts:
- Completely off the subject–football season over. More thoughts about that to follow. My youngest is still terribly out of shape despite the work, so we will be doing work on our own.
