Chapter 2: Returning Heroes
In an innocuous corner of the world, below the figurative ruins of an insignificant set of battles, deep inside the time worn actual ruins of a long forgotten age, two heroes sit down with an unusual yet innocuously acting figure.
There is a question so innocuous itself that its meaning has had all the edges rubbed from it. It is said without thought, as a reflex, by all. To strangers, to friends, to family, to loved ones, to pets, even to artificial objects during frustrated times.
And yet, it is the most important question to have ever been given conscious form.
What do you want?
And feel free to post leading directly on from where you last were :)
Just as a small OOC DM thing, and I am happy to give to IC confirmation of this one way or another, if you like, but the wishes - one each - are actually not going to be twisted. He seems to not like to do that, it's his 'job', and for this one moment, until you truly free him, he will grant what you want, rather than what you have asked for.
Within reason, of course...I mean, he couldn't kill a god for you. And even then, only because that would bring the attention of the rest right down upon you. But when those are the sorts of limits we are speaking about, you are talking about a pretty powerful boom.
Choose wisely.
Or simply choose to have the orc returned, and the shadow man re-imprison himself. It will work. Trust me, I'm a DM :)
