A Gloomy Graveyard
o | Many withering trees and ancient graves can be seen through

o-f-o | simple tombstone surrounded by wilted flowers tilts slightly

Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.
A bull walks in.

A grey marble tombstone is here tilting slightly to one side, perhaps
from an unsettling of the earth below it. You can barely make out the
letters E and n in the inscription which has been long faded by time.

You say 'How far did I show you last time we met?'

A Gloomy Graveyard

A Gloomy Grave

Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.
A bull walks in.

You see a menacing tombstone made of polished black marble here. You can
see the words 'His death shall be vindicated' engraved at the top of the
stone.

You open the tombstone below you.

Ilromie blinks innocently.

You say 'Nara's grave.'

>>> Serra leads Ilromie into the dark chamber hidden within Nara's crypt.

A filthy, cramped space
| You have squeezed into a crawlspace hidden behind the
| stone walls of the crypt. The space is filthy, with blood
o| and used bandages strewn around on the floor, and a small
|| charred firepit in the corner. Pieces of broken glass
@-o-o| vials and rusted metal chains are also found here. Some
|| of the chains have bloodied spikes attached, as if they
o| were used for some form of torture. A sliding panel on
| the east leads back to the crypt.

[Exits: east]
A battered bronze plate lies here.
A smoldering, blackened claw with the insignia of a Sun lies here.
A pile of rotting hay provides bedding for some unfortunate creature.
Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.
A bull walks in.

The plate seems to be quite old and is tarnished all over, save for the
face which appears to have been crudely polished. You can see your warped
reflection in it.

Object 'claw smoldering' is type weapon, material steel.
Extra flags: none.
Made to be wielded.
Weight is 10 lbs, value is 0, level is 10.
Weapon type is exotic.
Inflicts 4 to 24 degrees of flaming bite (average 14).

Ilromie frowns.

You point at a smoldering claw.
You say 'It looks like one of the blessed claws from Tainted Valley.'

Ilromie says 'This claw is marked with the sun, yet it lies dark and blackened.'

You nod.
You say 'And there is a journal in the haystack.'

A pile of rotting hay has underneath it:
a torn and battered journal (empty)

Ilromie gets a torn and battered journal from a pile of rotting hay.
Ilromie frowns.

Most of the pages are covered in unintelligible scratchmarks. As you flip
toward the end of the journal, a few words here and there become readable.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
...................demon's curse....................beginnings............
.........................................fire.........dark................
........singed................................bleed.......................
.......................................................Serin..............
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last page ends abruptly with a jagged line almost torn through the paper.
One corner is missing.

You say 'When Ocelia and I first read it, it seemed like the words of an evil soul.'
You say 'Quite ominous.'

Ilromie agrees absolutely.
Ilromie says 'Were you able to locate the missing corner?'

You agree absolutely.

A Small Living Area
| This room, which looks as if it used to be the living area
| of monks, has been totally ransacked. Several simple beds
| and wooden cabinets lay torn to shreds on the cold stone
| floor. Every window has been patched over by anything available
* @ * | and in the place of the ancient furniture are two hastily
| | | | made coffins, against the back of the room. One of them
*-*-*-* | is slightly open.

[Exits: south]
A bull walks in.
Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.

You say 'It is in here.'

The dark wooden coffin appears quite scuffed. The lid on it is open just
enough to peep inside.
A coffin holds:
a corner of a page
a bloody silken pillow

Ilromie gets a corner of a page from a coffin.
Ilromie flips the corner of the page over, frowning at the rune upon it.
Ilromie puts a corner of a page in a torn and battered journal.
Ilromie suddenly drops the book as it glows briefly.

Most of the pages are covered in unintelligible scratchmarks. As you flip
toward the end of the journal, the last paragraph suddenly focuses sharply.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I cannot allow the demon's curse to consume me. The beginnings of a change
are upon me, but I burn those parts with fire and the dark stuff recoils
from my singed flesh. Where I cannot reach, I bleed it, tearing it and
myself to shreds. I will not let it spread its evil in Serin!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last page ends abruptly with a jagged line almost torn through the paper.
The bottom-right corner has clearly been torn out but binds to the rest of
the page with some strange magic. A small rune is inscribed on it in dark
blood.

Ilromie gets a torn and battered journal.
Ilromie frowns.

You say 'Quite different in meaning, the full text, I think.'

Ilromie says 'Were we in error to restore this part of the journal to the whole?'

You say 'I do not know.'
You say 'The only clue I have of where to go next is that claw...'

Ilromie tugs at the corner, trying to remove it.

You say 'Or perhaps we must wait longer to learn more. These clues have been appearing fairly recently.'

Ilromie says 'Have you explored the Valley yet?'

You say 'Only partially.'

Ilromie nods.

You say 'I found a cleric who seemed to respond to it.'
You say 'But I could not explore more as I was accompanying Mohglin at the time.'

Ilromie says 'Fredrick?'

You shake your head.
You say 'An old cleric, in the caves by the Karakken.'

Ilromie sits down and thinks deeply.
Ilromie says 'Shall we?'

>>> To the Tainted Valley!

At the Giant Web
| As you wade through the thick webs, just barely managing
| not to get stuck, you come to a horrid sight. An old man,
| his eyes white with blindness and madness squirms here caught
| in the thick webs, his movements weakening before your eyes.
@-* | Looking around in repulsion you notice a number of large
| | | size cocoons, their contents in roughly humanoid proportions.
*-*-*-* | You can attempt to free yourself of the webs and leave south
| | or east.

An Old cleric turns his blind eyes towards you.
Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.
Something flashes in Ilromie's hands.
The old cleric shudders at the horror and represses tears.
The old cleric says weakly 'Have you come again.... my child?'
A bull walks in.

Ilromie says 'We need no key.'

The old cleric says weakly 'You are not he, then. What have you done with him?'
The old cleric frowns.

You peer around yourself intently.
You say 'Who?'

The old cleric says weakly 'He was here... not so long ago... looking for an antidote.'
The old cleric struggles helplessly against the webbing.

Before you stands a man at the end of his years. Wrinkled skin,
hunched over, his sightless eyes in vain search for something.
He turns towards the sound of your steps, and mutters something
in an anguished tone...
The old cleric is in excellent condition.

the old cleric is using:
<wielded> a sanctified mace

Ilromie says 'Antidote for what?'
The old cleric says weakly 'I suggested perhaps a witch would know...'
The old cleric falls exhausted and silent.

Ilromie says 'A witch?'

You bat your eyelashes.
You say 'Which witch?'

Ilromie says 'It seems to be a demon...'
You say 'Hmm.'

The old cleric says weakly 'You are not he, then. What have you done with him?'
The old cleric frowns.

You blink innocently at the old cleric.
The old cleric slaps you.

Ilromie says 'Who?'

The old cleric says weakly 'He was here... not so long ago... looking for an antidote.'
The old cleric struggles helplessly against the webbing.

You say 'It seems his mind is addled from being trapped in here.'

The old cleric says weakly 'I suggested perhaps a witch would know...'
The old cleric falls exhausted and silent.

Ilromie says 'A witch...'

You nod.
You say 'The only witch I am familiar with is Valindra.'
You let out a hearty laugh.

Ilromie says 'I know but one.'
Ilromie agrees absolutely.

You say 'And she seemed fairly clueless when I brought her here.'
You say 'Maybe there are other witches in Serin...'
You say 'I remember there is a witch by the High Towers of Sorcery.'
You say 'With that smoldering pit.'

Ilromie says 'Perhaps also Braem Wood?'

You ponder the question.
You nod.

Ilromie says 'Though I am likely to be mistaken.'

You say 'We can try them all!'

Ilromie says 'Let us try the towers first.'

You say 'Oh, and Echuir!'

Ilromie says 'Oh!'

Potion Shop
| You are standing in the middle of the Potion Shop. A
| pungent smell fills your nose as you walk into this room.
* | There is a big pot in the back of the shop filled with
| | a color changing liquid, bubbling above a small burning
S S @ S *| fire. You see various different flasks of potions arranged
| | | | || on the shelves in neat rows. The exit of this shop is
+-+-+-+-+| to the south and a ladder leads to a room upstairs.

[Exits: north south up]
A big black cauldron bubbles away in the corner.
A white placard has been placed here listing the efficacy of various brews.
Echuir the witch is here brewing potions for sale to the public.
A half-elf citizen of Seringale wanders about rather aimlessly.
A bull walks in.
Llywehh the snarling doberman walks in.
Something flashes in Ilromie's hands.
Echuir the witch winces in agony.

Echuir the witch says 'Don't just walk around town with that thing!'

You say 'Why not?'
You peer intently at Echuir the witch.

Ilromie says 'Know you of the antidote?'
Ilromie says 'The one sought by...'

You ponder the question.

Ilromie looks at you for help with the name.
Ilromie says 'Eq...'

You say 'Equient?'

Ilromie nods at you in agreement.
Ilromie says 'Or Nara?'

You poke her in the ribs.
You say 'I suppose she doesn't know.'

Ilromie says 'What do you know of this journal?'
Ilromie says 'Or the demon?'
Ilromie says 'Or Equient?'
Serra peers at Echuir suspiciously.
Ilromie says 'The rune, perhaps?'

You say 'Hmm.'
You say 'Another witch, perhaps?'

Ilromie sighs.
Ilromie nods.

>>> Witch #2!

A Fire-lit Cave
| You stand within the confines of a dark cave. The cave is
| completely empty save for a firepit dug into the middle of
| the floor. It burns brightly and extremely hot. You notice

Something flashes in Ilromie's hands.
A scraggy witch flinches in obvious pain... you wonder what she did THIS time.
A scraggy witch says 'I don't have what you seek!'

Ilromie says 'We have this journal.'

You blink innocently at a scraggy witch.
You say 'What do you think we seek?'

Ilromie says 'She seeks the items from the prisoners here.'

You nod.
You say 'She says she doesn't have what we are looking for.'

Ilromie says 'Know you of the antidote, witch?'
Ilromie says 'Or the demon?'
Ilromie says 'Equient or Nara?'

Ilromie says 'I find little reason to delay his induction.'

You nod.
You say 'I am satisfied with his works as well.'

Ilromie nods.
Ilromie says 'Let's see if he's in town.'


>>> No response from the witch; Serra and Ilromie detour to welcome Wylsin to the Consortium.

Ilromie says 'He seems to sleep as much as you.'
You let out a hearty laugh.
You say 'It stimulates the mind.'

The Gallery of Arcane Recognition
| As you enter the Gallery of Arcane Recognition, you find yourself
| standing between two long rows of pedestals. The stands near
*-* | you hold shapeless pieces of ivory, awaiting the newest dearly
| | departed Abecedarian, while the ones further on already bear
*-*-@ | the faces of the deceased. Beyond the final bust stands a
| few statues: a memorial to the men whose sweat and blood allowed
| Mystics to persevere through some of the dark times before
| they were banished. Zandar and Zepherleanic stand proudly
| gazing over the men and women who followed after. Deep violet
---------+ curtains line the tall windows of this room while between
the drapes rise tall ivory pillars onto which are screwed plaques. Each plaque
reads with the name and history of each former Leader. It is so quiet that your
footsteps echo off the high arched ceiling and you can smell the history in
the air.

A dragonwing mithril-white ascot of homing is here.

[ 1]: Wylsin: Seeking to share knowledge and research
Thu Apr 1 05:29:33 2021
To: consortium
- Thumbs up: Serra
- Thumbs down: None
- Abstained: None
Status: Application is under review
Salutations,

Though I believe I have met a great many of the members of the Consortium, I
feel the need to introduce myself regardless. I am Wylsin Plindane, member
of the guild of Invokers. I am scribing this missive to express my desire
to enter into the ranks of your organization.

I have traveled the lands extensively since I arrived here, and my research
into the mysteries of the Arcane have been equally as extensive. I have
come to the point in my own research that I believe I have a great deal to
offer others of a similar disposition. Moreover, I would be eager to share
what I have learned with anyone whom might have the inclination to be
taught. Of particular interest to me are those souls whom have newly
discovered themselves denizens of Serin.

Therefore, I humbly submit my application to be considered for admittance
into your organization. I eagerly await your reply, and will provide any
responses via a written medium as may be more conveniently requested.

Sincerely,

Wylsin Plindane
The Sage of Arcane Power


Ilromie says 'In fact, given our choice of location I expect you to have guessed the matter at hand.'

Wylsin smirks at Ilromie's saying.

Ilromie grins evilly.

Wylsin says 'Perhaps so, though I would not want to be presumptuous.'

Ilromie says 'Presume away, my friend.'
Ilromie says 'Your works were excellent and I found two worthy of inclusion in the Mystique.'
Ilromie says 'The last appeared to be a personal essay, which may yet be included should you desire.'

Wylsin says 'Thank you, I appreciate your confidence in my works.'

Ilromie says 'Have you any questions about becoming a member of the Consortium?'
Ilromie says 'This serves also as your final opportunity to back away from such honor.'

You let out a hearty laugh.

Wylsin says 'Yes, the third scroll was in response to Serra's inquiry regarding my thoughts which aspects of the Arcane most interesting me personally.'
Wylsin chuckles politely.

Ilromie agrees absolutely.

Wylsin says 'I have no desire to rescind my application at this time.'
Wylsin bows his head in worship of Denadlyr.
Wylsin looks up at the tapestry.

Serra suppresses an excited fidget by stuffing her hands in her pockets.

Ilromie says 'In fact, it is only the topic which denied its entry to our works, not the quality.'

Wylsin says 'I have been quite keen to lend my own talents to continue the grand traditions of this organization.'

Ilromie smiles at Wylsin.

You say 'I am most excited to have another esteemed researcher join us!'

Ilromie says 'You have already shown that you bear the bravery necessary for research.'

Wylsin smiles at you.
Wylsin beams broadly!

Ilromie says 'Welcome, my friend.'

You say 'And now... we can proceed with our ultimate goal of scholars taking over Serin.'
You peer around yourself intently.

>>> Some discussion about duties ensue, and Ocelia arrives to join the festivities.

Wylsin says 'Indeed it would appear that the threads of Serin's history run long, and tightly woven.'

You nod at Wylsin.

Ocelia says 'Aye.'

You say 'There are so many threads to follow and explore.'
You smile happily.

Ilromie rubs her hands together in greedy anticipation.
Ilromie says 'In fact, we were seeking one such thread when we made this pleasant detour.'

You agree absolutely.
You say 'Oh yes!'

Wylsin raises an eyebrow.

You say 'We were witch hunting.'
You chortle mischieviously at Ilromie.

Ilromie agrees absolutely.

Wylsin says 'Is that so?'

Ocelia says 'Oh?'

Ilromie pats a torn and battered journal reassuringly.

Ocelia says 'Ah.'

Wylsin says 'Which witches did you track?'

Ilromie says to Ocelia 'Serra caught me up on the research you performed in my absence.'

The Pulpit
* | As you stand behind this tall wooden pulpit you feel as if

@ | middle of the pulpit. You can tell where the book has been
| recently opened and moved because of lines in the thick dust

You say 'I do not know!'

At the Giant Web
| As you wade through the thick webs, just barely managing
| not to get stuck, you come to a horrid sight. An old man,
| his eyes white with blindness and madness squirms here caught
| in the thick webs, his movements weakening before your eyes.
@-* | Looking around in repulsion you notice a number of large
| | | size cocoons, their contents in roughly humanoid proportions.
*-*-*-* | You can attempt to free yourself of the webs and leave south
| | or east.

An Old cleric turns his blind eyes towards you.
Ocelia walks in.
Wylsin flies in.
Something flashes in Wylsin's hands.
The old cleric shudders at the horror and represses tears.
The old cleric says weakly 'Have you come again.... my child?'
A bull walks in.
Something flashes in Ilromie's hands.
The old cleric shudders at the horror and represses tears.
The old cleric says weakly 'Have you come again.... my child?'

Wylsin looks at the old cleric.
Ocelia looks at the old cleric.
Ilromie looks at the old cleric.

You say 'He seems to recognize the journal.'

The old cleric says weakly 'You are not he, then. What have you done with him?'
The old cleric frowns.

Wylsin raises an eyebrow.
Wylsin says 'I know not of whom you speak, cleric.'

The old cleric says weakly 'He was here... not so long ago... looking for an antidote.'
The old cleric struggles helplessly against the webbing.

Ilromie says 'He recognizes not Equitus's name, nor Nara's.'

The old cleric says weakly 'I suggested perhaps a witch would know...'
The old cleric falls exhausted and silent.

You say 'And so... the witch hunt.'
The old cleric shakes and trembles unconsolably.

Ocelia says 'A witch...'

Wylsin says 'The first thing that comes to mind are the Witches in the Witch Wood.'

You say 'Since then, we have found two witches, neither of whom told us anything.'

Ocelia says 'Jacklyn?'

You ponder the question.

Wylsin says 'Aude, Hela, and Gertrude.'

You say 'Hmm.'

Ilromie snaps her fingers.
Ilromie says 'An excellent idea.'

You agree absolutely.

>>> We're off to see the witches, the wonderful witches of Oz

Ocelia looks at Captain Jacklyn.
Wylsin looks at Captain Jacklyn.
You blink innocently at Captain Jacklyn.

Wylsin raises an eyebrow.
Wylsin says 'Is she a witch?'
Wylsin says 'Oh.'

Jacklyn is pale and wiry, but then, so are most other witches. The fact that
Jacklyn is a mage and a warrior makes her the perfect captain of the citadel
guards. Jacklyn is very beautiful, but whether it is due to her pale softness
or her magic, no one has ever found out. She isn't very strong physically, but
she need not be.
Captain Jacklyn is in excellent condition.

Captain Jacklyn is using:
<worn on finger> (Magical) an Ofcol signet ring
<worn on head> (Magical) a silver helm
<worn on torso> (Magical) silver plate
<worn on arms> (Magical) silver sleeves
<worn on hands> (Magical) padded leather gloves
<worn on legs> (Magical) padded leather leggings
<worn on feet> (Magical) padded leather boots
<worn as buckler> (Magical) a silver buckler
<worn about waist> (Magical) the silver girth
<wielded two-handed> (Magical) a ranseur

Wylsin says 'So she is.'
Ocelia says 'Look at her.'
Wylsin says 'Interesting.'
Wylsin walks east.

Wylsin walks in.
The Ofcol cityguard says 'Well I don't see how closing our gates and appearing heavily guarded helps our economy.'
Captain Jacklyn says 'Fool! That would leave us wide open to attack by the red dragons again.'
The Ofcol cityguard cowers in a corner and whimpers softly.
Captain Jacklyn says 'The golden leader is our saviour. You must trust him.'
The Ofcol cityguard says 'Yes, Miss Jacklyn. Under the Golden Dragon's eye.'
Captain Jacklyn says 'Under his eye.'

You say 'Huh.'

Wylsin says 'Hm.'

You say 'Seems she does not recognize the journal.'

Captain Jacklyn sizzles with magic.

Ocelia says 'There is the crone matron in the Maelstrom, but I don't think she's the right one.'

You mull over the idea at hand, asking for patience.

Ilromie says 'She seems as foolishly committed to the law as our own Justices.'

Wylsin chuckles at Ilromie's joke.
Wylsin says 'Let us visit the Witch Wood.'

You agree absolutely.

The Wall of Shadows
| You step into shadows and suddenly hellish voices shriek
| into your ears. Your light flares brightly for an instant
| and you see the trees around you writhing while they
| burn in black flames. They bend their branches into
o-@ | a series of glyphs and runes, forming an archway across
| | the entrance of a cavern to the west. The voices stop
o-f-f | suddenly, and you are once again all alone in the darkness.

You say 'How are your auras?'
You say 'Hmm, good question.'

Ocelia says 'I do not believe they attack immediately.'

You nod.

Ilromie says 'A few hours.'
Ilromie nods at Ocelia.

Wylsin says 'Will they attack us, as advanced as we are?'

You shrug.

Ilromie says 'North into the mists?'

You ponder the question.

>>> More roaming about fruitlessly, when...

You say 'The giant.' <-- the OTHER giant*

Wylsin agrees absolutely.
Wylsin tells the group 'I doubt he would move against the lot of us.'

You tell your group 'I should hope not.'

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.
Wylsin says 'What was the man's name?'

You say 'The Keep might be a reasonable spot to search.'
You say 'Equient.'

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.

Ilromie says 'Tyr?'

You nod at Ilromie.

Ilromie says 'Perhaps the elves therein have more to share.'

Ocelia steps through a gate and vanishes.
You follow Ocelia through her gate.
A patch of grass
| East of here are the gates of the imperial prison of Tyr Unguld,
| where the wretched creatures defeated by the Knights of Valour
| are imprisoned permanently. Heavily guarded by the special
| justiciers of Valour, and high magi of the Light, death surely
@-* | awaits the one foolish enough to undo the seals within here.
| | These creatures hold powers unknown for millenia of the new
-o-* | world.

Wylsin flies east.
You follow Wylsin.
In front of a prison gate
| Before you lies a prison gate made of chromium light bars. Light
| but strong, it could hold under the greatest stress. The bars

o-@ | It brings you back to a time, a time when a battle held in this

Wylsin flies west.
You follow Wylsin.
The Warding Barrows

(White Aura) Menthalas the Elf Hero is here, investigating the area.
Ocelia flies in.

Wylsin peers intently at Menthalas the Elf Hero.
Menthalas the Elf Hero slaps Wylsin.

An honorable Elven warrior watches his surroundings with steel-blue eyes
made weary from wisdom and time. His scabbard is marked with the sign of
the silver leaves, signifying his stature as a highly masterful swordsman.
On the cuff of one sleeve, you notice the emblem of the Enclave of the High
Moon is emblazoned proudly. You are in the presence of a being of pure
Goodness.
Menthalas the Elf Hero is in excellent condition.

Menthalas the Elf Hero is using:
<worn on legs> (Humming) fine elven leggings

Ocelia looks at Menthalas the Elf Hero.

Ilromie says 'Know you of Equient?'

You ponder the question.

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'Up here or in the dungeons?'

Ocelia shrugs helplessly.

Wylsin flies east.
You follow Wylsin.
Cool stone corridor
*-* | Cool marble walls glisten as you walk down the wide hallway. A

* | flutter. As beautiful as it is, this place gives you the creeps.
| | Iron shackles hang empty on the walls giving an impression of
*-*-@ | violence, torture, and death. Rasping sounds grow in volume and
| | intensity as you continue to walk. Magical dwarven runes of an
* | unknown type are inscribed here. You feel as if you have trodden

| restraints.

[Exits: north west]
(White Aura) Wylsin the Sage of Arcane Power is here.
(Translucent) (White Aura) Cirluin, dressed all in white stands heavily upon her staff.
Ocelia flies in.

Wylsin peers intently at Cirluin the Mooncaster.
Cirluin the Mooncaster says 'No need to be nice to me.'

Ilromie says 'Know you of Equient?'

You can barely see this elf's face through the long golden hair that
flows down from her head like a river. What you can see, however, entice
you - she is a true beauty. High cheekbones and crystal blue eyes are the
most striking features, followed close behind by a perfect nose and soft
lips. Even through her beauty though, you can sense an air of strength, of
purpose, and of regalia from her. Your guess is confirmed as you notice the
symbol of the Enclave of the High Moons emblazoned on the cuff of her
sleeve. You are standing in the presence of a being of the utmost Good.
Cirluin the Mooncaster is in excellent condition.

Cirluin the Mooncaster is using:
<worn on head> (Glowing) a runed wizard hat
<worn on torso> (Humming) a runed wizard robe
<worn about waist> (Humming) a runed wizard belt
<held> (Glowing) (Humming) a swirled elfwood knot

Ilromie says 'Or Nara?'

>>> They explore the entirety of the Keep.

You say 'Maybe we can peep inside the cells.'

Wylsin says 'Which would you like to see first?'

You say 'Any I suppose.'

Ilromie tells the group 'Let us not mention such too loudly.'
Ilromie tells the group 'Else we be made prisoners ourselves.'

Yuck, try to cover your mouth next time!

Wylsin chuckles politely.

A Turn in a Dimly-Lit Passage
| You are in a curved passage that slopes westward and
| southward. A shadowy dimness engulfs the room like a
| damp cloak on a cold night. Similarly the air feel pungent
| and dank and has the wet odor of a rotting corpse in
*-*-@ | a long-forgotten bog. Torches in wall-sconces provide
| | | minimal light, enough to see that the walls, ceiling
* * | and floor are all carved from a dark, dull-black cobblestone.
| | | In places, the walls are coated with blood and bits of
*-*-*-*-*| flesh.

You open the cell door north of you.

Wylsin smiles happily.

Wylsin flies north.
You follow Wylsin.
An Empty Cell

Huge boils mar his twisted face. His eyes are hazel flecked with spots of
dark crimson fire. His ears are half rounded, half pointed, and stained
with soot and blood. His hair is long, matted and tangled, tied roughly
with a bit of tree root. The whole body of this creature is contorted in
pain. Although he hunches beneath a cloak, blood keeps seeping through it
from hidden wounds on his back. What exposed skin is seen is mottled with
patches of pale white and necrotic purplish green. There is something very
wrong with him.

***
My name is Markus. I am a healer, and once was a follower of Soluminus
and a member of the Order of Light. As a young man I fell in love with a
drow bard named Filena and was cast out of the Order. I was on a path to
self-destruction when Lady Vevier took pity on me and saved my life. For
that, I owe her everything.

I traveled Serin for many years after that, hiding my true profession and
working odd jobs here and there, and teaching students occasionally when
opportunity came up. I invented tricks that dazzled spectators and
eventually gained a reputation. Somehow these tricks reached the ears of a
pixie who told a story about them to his queen. That is how I first was
invited to Acadia.

Acadia is a crazy world. Nothing is quite like what it is in Serin, always
something works in unexpected ways. My tricks were maybe just average in
Serin but were so entertaining to them. I was performing for the royal
court when I noticed something strange in the sky, some dark color. They
said it had shown up not too long ago but didn't seem to be any harm. But
the dark patch grew.

When it broke, evil things came through from another realm - not Serin, not
Acadia, somewhere else. My battle training kicked in and I joined the
forces to help, but they were too outnumbered. I came back to Serin and
gathered troops here, then brought them all to Acadia. What a fool I was,
thinking I could save the world...

We failed there. The evil things killed almost all of us. There was a
demon who would put his hands on us with elven blood and it turned us into[Hit Return to continue]

demonspawn. He got his hands on me too. I would have probably died there
and the taint would have stayed in Acadia if one of my students hadn't sent
me home. But instead I ended up in Timaran and had to go into hiding.

There is no antidote to the demon's curse. I have been to every cleric and
witch in Serin and none have been able to help me. The only thing I can do
now is close myself in this dungeon, hoping that if I do turn, the runes and
locks will protect the rest of Serin from the creature I must become.

Be wary. The darkness rises.

Wylsin looks at a ripped and tattered page.

Ilromie says to a slender half-elf healer 'In fact, I am honored to meet you, though I regret the circumstances.'

You boggle at the concept.
You say 'What...happened?'
You say 'Where did you go!'
You glare icily at him.

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.
Wylsin looks at a ripped and tattered page.
Wylsin says 'The page says that Lady Vevier saved him.'

You nod.
You give a ripped and tattered page to Ilromie.

Wylsin says 'Has she ever spoken of this to either of you?'

Ilromie says 'I have never met her.'

You say 'I only spoke with her once, when I was very young.'
You say 'She gave me tea.'
You let out a hearty laugh.
You say 'But nothing about this.'

Ilromie says 'He claims there is no cure for the demon.'

Wylsin says 'Hm.'

You nod at Ilromie.
You frown disapprovingly.

Wylsin looks at a ripped and tattered page.

Ilromie says 'I believe that not.'

You say 'There must be a way.'

Ilromie says 'We ought search the Battlezone. If any can find a cure, it is the Enclave.'
Ilromie says 'Or what remains of them.'

Wylsin nods.

You agree absolutely.

Wylsin tells the group 'Shall we gather in Timaran?'

Ilromie says 'I have not the time now to venture there.'

A slender half-elf healer flies up.

You say 'I will need some rest myself.'

Wylsin says 'Where are you going?'

Wylsin climbs up.
You follow Wylsin.
An Empty Cell
| The chamber you stand in is enclosed on three sides by walls
| of crudely cut cobblestone like the tunnel to the west. The
| glowing runes that dimly lit your path into the chamber have
| been replaced by a single faint symbol carved into the east
@ | wall. Other than the carving the walls are stark, bare, and
| cold. The floor is covered with dirt and dust everywhere except
| for a rounded hole in the corner of the room, and looks as
| though it has not been walked on in eons.

You say 'I did not.'
You say 'Acadia saved itself.'

Ilromie says 'You did a large part.'

You say 'I simply muddled about and brought back the news.'

Ilromie says 'Perhaps what you learned there can be applied here.'

You let out a hearty laugh.

Ilromie says 'You value your contribution too lowly.'

Wylsin says 'Where might one find this Acadia place?'

You say 'It is the realm where the Fuzzars and Pixies come from.'
You say 'Our world lies close to it in the Forest of Illusion and in Emerald Forest.'

Wylsin says 'Hm.'
Wylsin says 'Perhaps that should be the next point of investigation.'
Wylsin says 'When there is sufficient time.'

You say 'The demon I saw there came from yet another realm.'
You say 'They crossed over into Acadia hoping to conquer it.'
You say 'With them were fell... abyssals... quasits.'
You say 'And the demon.'

Wylsin says 'How disturbing.'

You say 'It was the demon that turned the paladins there, and which I have seen happen here as well.'
You say 'I pray there is some way to undo their curse.'

Ilromie frowns.

You say 'Thus far, all paladins thus fallen have taken their lives.'

Ilromie says 'The gods seem to have means, would any choose to walk the path.'

Wylsin nods.

You nod.

Ilromie sighs.

You say to Ilromie 'May I keep that parchment?'

Ilromie gives you a ripped and tattered page.
Ilromie says 'Of course.'

You dazzle Ilromie with your smile.
You say 'I will keep it with my other clues.'
You put a ripped and tattered page in a mysterious bag of the Magi.

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.
Wylsin says 'Serra, was Esuna the only effective communion you were able to grant him?'

You say 'I was able to heal him, but he just said thank you for trying.'
You say 'Remove curse did not have an effect.'

Ilromie says 'Remove disease?'

You say 'I tried all of the curatives.'
You say 'Ah, I did not try that one.'

Ilromie lets out a hearty laugh.

Wylsin sits down and thinks deeply.

You say 'I will need to take my leave for now. Thank you both for the excellent sleuthing!'
You say 'Let me know if you discover more.'

Ilromie smiles at you.

You smile happily.

Wylsin says 'And you.'

You say 'And again, welcome to the Consortium!'
You wave.
<SCHOLAR> Xerties the Sage: 'Farewell Serra, may the winds guide you to a swift return.'
