3.1st.11.842 A.T.E: Travel Day One

We began our travels to the first underground outpost this morning. The journey is estimated two take a full two weeks. Tom has joined us, as he was informed by his superiors that he had to leave Ur-Chardros immediately. He seemed unhappy with this revalation, since he found Ur-Chardros to be comfortable. I do not believe that we should be immediately trusting of Tom or Vaan. Then again, I’m not certain we should put our full trust in Numa either. Necromancy is a practice that corrupts even those of the most pure intentions after all.

A few hours into our travels, we came across a pair of creatures feasting on the corpse of something. They were akin to large apes, though they had no skin. According to Numa these were undead creatures called entombers. We tried to sneak past them, but they noticed us and attacked. The most fascinating thing about these creatures was that they managed to bury Max and Asmodean underground with a single hit. Asmodean managed to claw his way out relatively easily. Numa, not surprisingly, was able to befriend one of the creatures through magic and managed to get it to pull Max back out of the ground, then to attack its ‘friend’. Even as I write this, we have this Entomber with us, and I have tried to keep an eye on it. Numa and his allies now outnumber the rest of us.
