Day 5: Darkest before the dawn

The plague reached new levels of virulence today with people 'turning' 60 seconds after infection and as a result several cities teetered on the brink. Stormwind was a warzone, as were Shattrath and Ironforge, with the populace facing extinction.




In Stormwind, the Scarlet Missionaries gathered women and children at the Stormwind Cathedral and prepared an exodus via the newly opened port ... but the undead threatened even this. Surely we were doomed ...



And then the tide turned.

In Shattrath, a new alliance was born. Grand Apothecary Putress appeared and spoke to the horde while Bishop Lazari spoke to the alliance. Each exhorted their people to take news of the alliance, and that a cure for the plague had been found. I travelled to Stormwind with the news, which I delievered - along with a light-infused artefect - to the king himself. Perhaps the worst is over now and the zombie hordes will be beaten back.





Something seems wrong though. I don't trust that Putress as far as I can throw him; I gather from my horde associates that rather than the essence of the light I carried to Stormwind, he's asking people to take plague samples to Undercity. Is he working on a cure, or a better version?


NOTE: most of the above is from the Blizzard pre-WotLK event. The Cathedral Refuge and evacuation plans were part of an ad-hoc roleplay session on the Steamwheedle Cartel server. I don't know who precisely was involved (I believe the Scarlet Missionary guild, but I'm not sure) but it was nicely done.
