Delith: Into the Unknown
OOC:Next thread, this begins with everyone finally back in the HQ library and is evening
You are all in the meeting room that is set on a mountain side. Trinny and Art are there just chit chatting waiting on Dualis to arrive. You have all noticed the library has been fairly quiet lately, low activity and Dualis seems to be preoccupied with something as he has not been around the library much. One difference most of you notice is a hawk perching on Ez'ard's shoulder.
Sometime later Dualis walks in and says "OK, settle down." whether or not there was much activity. He waves his hand and an overhead view of the region around Methorian appears 'on' the table. The area is somewhat hilly with almost equal area of forest and grassy slopes. The cardinal directions can be scene on the map edges. To the East of Methorian is a small village and beyond that is a marker showing a goblin camp and somewhat between these but of to the North is another symbol, that of a fancy 'Q'.
"You have chosen you next mission to explore the ancient stronghold of Quasquenton which was created by two adventurers of the time known as Zelegar the mage and Roghan the warrior. They had numerous exploits many of them dubious so even though they were called heroes of the time their track record tells a slightly different story. In any case they were very successful and eventually built Quasquenton for their base of operations and had a fanatical group of followers. They had disappeared in peculiar circumstances while going off to battle a barbarian kingdom; which apparently was their wont." He indicates Morteft "Morteft had recently obtained information that a small group of adventurers happened upon the entrance to Quasquenton and explored, with the result being one lone and very much delirious survivor who found his way to Methorian and was attended to by priests. He eventually provided some sketchy information about Quasquenton and has recently died from a mysterious cause, foul play is suspected." he then looks over at Warwick "Warwick and I had actually been in the vicinity recently to deal with the goblins there and I noticed some strange mystical signatures. Given the information from Morteft it pointed to Quasquenton as the source. It is my belief that Zelegar and Roghan have returned from whence they came and still have their retinue, albeit in an undead state. It is most likely Zelegar is a lich and Roghan a skeletal warrior although Death Knight cannot be ruled out but I see that as highly unlikely." he looks at you all "This is a bit of a wild card and is best looked after now before things get too hectic."
