Kenzie pens a letter to the Governor of Skara Brae
Madam, I must apologize for the mess we left in your fair city and the surrounding area of the islands, what started as an adventure with a summons by one of history’s great hero Shamino left a trail of bodies North, South, East, and West. You may have gotten reports of trouble spirits all around the fair city, as a citizen of the city I saw such a creature myself and it was a frightening sight to behold. I made sure to keep a record of the event as best as I could.
At the EM Hall:
Shamino remarks at the Hall: Greetings! I hope all are well. I imagine you were expecting Commander Bhaltair. I must inform you that he has been sent on a top secret mission by the king I hope I will suffice for this night's mission. Skara Brae has need of our aid this eve you see, long ago, there was a kindly man his name was Horance, and he used his skills of magery to make people's lives better to heal the sick and to help in many other ways as well but, as he grew older, he grew fearful of death and this fear took root in his heart eventually, the fear brought about a change in the man no longer kindly, he began to turn to evil and now, I fear, he is well along the path to being a lich.
He now summons the dead, all citizens of Skara's past good men, and no so good all who should be resting in their graves. I need to face him and try to either turn him back to the ways of virtue or end him while I am about that task, I have need of your aid there are two tasks first, I simply need you to protect the living secondly, there are several troubled spirits about the town each may be asked to speak.
Simply say "speak" to them note what their response island speak to them of an appropriate virtue that will loosen the hold that the lich has on them.
Of course, we were all willing to do as he asked, he was Shamino!! So off to Skara Brea we went using the Crystal portals at the Hall to arrive at the City Bank. Rushing off in all directions we sought these trouble sprints and spoke to them, “Speak”. All had sad tales of woe and death, but I felt a shiver up my spine as I went about doing as Shamino had asked. A feeling of approaching doom upon us all. No sooner then we have spoken to the last of the trouble spirits then a hoard of undead, ghosts appear across the city, they were every where! Oh we were hard pressed at times it looked as if we may have to abandon the city, but we kept on, a hard battle, thank the lord the healers were there to res and get us back to the battle. If not for them the city would have been lost. They are the true heroes of your fair city.
Finally, we discovered a portal that allowed movement across to the other island near the city and it’s here we found “Horance the Liche”. The master mind behind this evil attack on the city.
Horance the Liche remarks: My liche potion simmers, brews and bubbles! Soon my power will be grow alongside Skara's troubles! The undead are mine! Their essence is my power! I will overtake Britannia, plucked like a flower! behold my magic! Fear my power! Kneel before me! Kneel! Cower! My dark tower slipped away, beneath the sea, but it matters not - the dead revere me! Immortality will be mine! The dead teach me their ways, all so fine! Rise, dead friends, tis thy time. The dead will walk! The well is open! They donate their power! As I had been hoping. My dark existence, my death-tinted life, will go on forever, through the well's strife! The soul cage has strengthened me, it gives me power! Skara's souls will rise, soon is their hour! The anchor ghosts, all so tormented and sad, bring all others to Skara, screaming and mad! The soul cage has strengthened me, it gives me power! Skara's souls will rise, soon is their hour! The anchor ghosts, all so tormented and sad, bring all others to Skara, screaming and mad! My liche potion simmers, brews and bubbles! Soon my power will be grow alongside Skara's troubles!
He was surely mad as he kept repeating this over and over, I tried to speak with him but his eyes were glazed over and all he would say over and over were the words I quoted above. Finally, Shamino was there, but there was little he could do as poor Horance vanished. I can only hope the King will send more men to assist the city guards and get the council to assist with other needs of our fair city.
Your humble servant
