What Happened Last Time: August 2022 Event Recap

After ousting the Dominion in June and blowing up the Observatory-- and thus the local morgue-- the townsfolk of Mourning Glory returned to rebuild the town. The trade started off with a bang when the Dominion showed up to intimidate and harass the settlement, claiming it was still their territory. Locals and travelers alike banded together to chase them off, and so started the weekend.

The main focus of the trade was to find Morgue Materials for a successful Morgue Sink- a process that creates a new Morgue, so those who’ve died have somewhere to return after being processed through the Mortis Amaranthine. Various obstacles stood in the way, including an epic ride fight against Raiders, an irradiated lab full of Glow Boys, multiple attacks by the Dominion with a recently “evolved” General Boscogn, and a surgery on a Doom Fog that attracted hordes of irradiated dead. Other notable encounters included St. Mary’s offering a suspicious life insurance, a “fun” Saturday Morning Cartoons hosted by a local Rogue’s Gallery face, many mine runs (sponsored by the Fords of course), and a brave contingent saving an endangered Cult of the Silent member from terrifying Echoes.

This all led up to the moment everyone was preparing for: the Morgue Sink. After choosing a new psionic user, a biogenetics user, a faithful psionics user, and a necrokinetics user, the town ventured into the mines to create a new space for the Gravemind. It was a long and hard fight, with many obstacles in the way. Artisans had to build, salvagers and foragers had to find materials, and four psionic users had to combine their strength to finish the job. All of this while hordes of zed attacked relentlessly, maiming some and unfortunately killing others. The Morgue was remade though, and with it a miraculous Unborn was created. The town once more has a place for the dead to return from, and possibly a new messiah of the local Cult of the Silent. Now the question is: who will be sent to the morgue next?
