Can't we add some chaos, bodies and general mass hysteria to cordor in light of the attack that killed 2-3000 people? It feels strange to walk the streets when they are clean as snow in the module

Cordor has had a lot of opportunity to become impressively efficient at quietly disposing of corpses. Practice makes perfect!

But seriously... why would there still be bodies in the streets more than a week later? the next day or two, maybe, but they'd be long gone by now.

C'mon - you just don't dispose of 3000 bodies in a week. Where do you put them! 3000 bodies, each weighing maybe 65-70 kilo - that's 65x3000 = 195.000 kilo - that's 19.5 tonnes of flesh.

How about on the big island just off Cordor's coast that's specifically designated as the place where they store all their dead bodies?

The blood spilled in the streets of Cordor mysteriously drains through the cracks in the cobble, almost sink-like. You would not see a lot of it staining the bricks. Even though, you swore you saw it running slowly down the side-walk, it seemed to be going somewhere in particular, but where?

I presume that's sarcasm.
That said, it could use some serious expantion by now, probably mass graves, hastily burried corpses, ground crawling with the decomposing shallow burried dead

That would probably attracts crows and ravens in their hunderds that would spread out over Cordor awaiting the next big slaughter.

I am surpised that Moribund is not sinking from all the weight of dead there

But I agree, leaving corpses around for a week is not something you want. If people are wondering where they are I advice to investigate that IC.

Obviously, they hellballed the bodies!

You presume erroneously. If you've got enormous grisly piles of corpses to burn, and you have an island a few minutes away that's always been the place where you burn your corpses, well... 2 + 2 = 4.

Well if you really take into account how many people live in cordor die of old age or not adventurer and cultist related causes and those that do, the amount of space in Moribund and all that... Cordor should really be a more nasty place then Tarkuul.

Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead!

I've already taken that joke to another thread.

/fail.

Most, if not all, areas, especially cities, are a lot bigger than what can be represented in-game. Moribund included, I'd imagine.

Yeah I only noticed your bring out the dead post after making this one...

And yeah I know. I made a few lovely rants about area's not representing actual size over a year ago. Resulted in the usual reply when I argue something with passion
"stop or you'll be banned' hahaha

My calculations showed Cordor needed to be made up of 45 large size areas. (No I nolonger advocate this. Much better just to kill off the excess)

Let me all put your minds at ease: the bodies were raised as undead to invade Tarkuul. Because Cordor flavors its imperialism with a sense of irony.

For mass graves at inconvenient times, Cordor usually performs mass burials at sea, by loading the ships and having them burned. Unless the families of the deceased can find, identify, and collect their dead.

At least, that's my IG experience with Cordor!

So, no swimming in Cordor waters then.

Isn't that going to go somewhat like this?
*Sighs* Undead...

Where do you think all the zombies in the sewers come from? :roll:

The ships from old Cordor that sunk with half the city. It says right in their bio!

Igor has lots of play things probely some acid to

Maybe those corpses walked away? :twisted:

Two words:

Plane Shift.

When no one is looking, the fairy corpse stealers have their fun. Don't look in the closets, kids.

You might just join the skeletons you find...

Yay Brownies.

Bodies, stench, decay and chaos!
