Nicodem Crew - Completed

Mortimer leant absent mindedly on his shovel while his master studied the piece of yellowing parchment in his hand. After several more minutes Mortimer finally decided to ask the important question that had been on his mind..."Can I start digging yet?"

Nicodem looked up from the paper as if noticing his servant for the first time "Not, Yet" he said in measured tones "I'm looking for something in particular...several something's in fact..."

"A corpse is a corpse" said Mortimer who's grasp of the finer points of Necromancy were somewhat limited "It's not like we're short of them at home..." Nicodem contemplated whether to simply ignore his servant's ramblings but after a moments consideration decided that an explanation might shut him up for a while.

"That building over there" he said waving his hand vaguely in the direction of a severe looking building "Was once an asylum for women with mental disorders and this is where the inmates and staff were buried after the massacre..."

Mortimer became more interested "Massacre?"

"Yes" continued Nicodem "It seems they were due to be visited by an individual claiming to be a rich businessman wishing to sponsor their institution..." he paused for a moment as he finally figured out the irritatingly poorly designed plan of the institutions graveyard "Who he actually was is unknown...but the next visitor found the staff, security and inmates had been brutally murdered, hideously defiled...and in most cases both...there were also a great number of young female inmates whose bodies were never found..." Of course Nicodem had more than a passing knowledge of the work of other resurrectionists and could make a damn good guess about the culprit...

Nicodem stopped abruptly "Enough chatter, we have work to do". Mortimer knew from bitter experience that this meant he had work to do. The Undertaker began to gesture at particular spots amongst the improvised graveyard. "Security guards were buried over in that far corner...I need...three should be enough...a couple of the staff from that area by the tree..." he paused for a moment and briefly referred back to the parchment "...and as many of the others as you can fit on the wagon..."

Mortimer walked briskly to the first spot on the list and began to dig...

Nicodem, the Undertaker.

Mortimer, the Gravedigger.

Punk Zombies.
Those once entrusted with the security of the asylum had kept a rudimentary knowledge of defence that could be exploited by a necromancer with the skill to enhance it...

Mindless Zombies.
Those staff and inmates of the asylum that had survived the massacre with their bodies intact were still of some use...even in their mindless state...

The Staff...

The Inmates...

I suppose technically the crew really requires Nicodem's Vulture Totems and Rafkin, the Embalmer to really count as 'complete' but this will do for now ;-)

Thoughts and comments are (as usual) most welcome.
