We must be strong friends. It is time to show what friendship, unity and trust brings. We can do this. I believe in you all!

Since I’m not sure how quickly this information has spread, and we only have a few days until Corsair relocates us to the Chaos Wastes, i am providing the following update:
Last feast, Corsair took me on a trip around Arawyn to every city containing Necrophitus’ undead. While they are numerous, they are not acting as we would expect. They are not needlessly slaughtering and pushing back against the living. Instead, they seem to be acting in a calculated manner- they are pushing back and trapping people, moving in ways that are clear to be a diversion. They were meant to distract us, to force us to attempt to split our strengths and tear us apart.

Speaking as one who both knows undead and tactics pretty well...
This makes zero sense. If he truly meant these undead to be a distraction, why NOT let them rip, rend, and tear flesh from bone as their very nature demands? Why bother with the magical energy and attention needed to keep these undead at bay? Right now- these undead are not a distraction at all. Why would we literally care about them if they aren't even harming the people of Arawyn? Does Necrophitis have a vested interest in keeping a world population intact? Or are they rounding up these people in order for a use later- a sacrifice or a ritual perhaps?
Keep in mind that I am not calling your report into question- Im questioning our reaction to it and the possible tactics behind what it is that we are seeing.

I imagine it has to do with his real goal.
His goal to extend his reach 'beyond the Stars'
Either they are being collected for a reason, or just to distract us as Cara says, however:
That level of intelligence in undead generally means either that they are sentient or that they are advanced in some other way.
I would postulate that if they are indeed using advanced tactics and organization and are not a mindless horde would mean that it might be impossible for us to discern their intentions by just looking at them. Who knows the complexity of the order they were given.
Just my thoughts on how they are acting. I am going to go back to preparing for our trip. The best way to deal with it all is to deal with the problem. At best, they will be destroyed, at worst they will all become feral.

I never said they were not attacking nor killing people. I started they were not acting with the aim of mass slaughter. They are meant to divert our attention. If I had not been taken around the globe, we would not have known what they were doing. We would still be assuming they are slaughtering everyone and everything in sight.
There is a bigger plan here we do not know.
