{{H|Gem|hero_link=Gem (Sorceress)|image=Gem (Sorceress)|0=}}: I have met a [[Wizard]] named [[Sandro]] who is conducting research to combat necromancy.  He is creating a magical amulet, which will ward off the [[undead]] and wants to pay me a large sum of gold to find the pieces he needs to construct it.  He seems to think me quite the mercenary.

{{TEheader}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro|I told [[Clancy]] of my agreement to help a [[wizard]]'s apprentice, [[Sandro]], find an [[Amulet of the Undertaker]] for his master, [[Ethric]].  [[Clancy]] stroked his beard approvingly when I said the Amulet was to be used for anti-necromancy research, and he surprised me by offering to help me with the quest.}}
{{TErow| 1 |Intro (cont)|I replied I would be glad to have his company again as long as he understood this was my quest, not his.  He assured me he understood that quite well and then complimented me on my [[Clovergreen]] Militia campaign, making me laugh.  Flatterer!  Of course, what else would you expect from a man who can sweet talk unicorns?}}
{{TErow| 3 |Amulet Report|According to [[Sandro]], the [[Amulet of the Undertaker]] is located to the North Northeast of [[Clifftree]] Castle in a [[Ghost Dragon]] horde.}}
{{TErow| 11 |Liking the [[Rampart]]|I am becoming to feel quite at home in the [[Rampart]] Castle.  I'm even starting to get accustomed to the dragons!  Actually, it's the [[Dendroid]]s that make me a little uncomfortable.  Not them personally.  They're really quite friendly.  It's just that they remind me of a past I'd rather forget.  I haven't seen moving trees since I was a little girl.}}
{{TErow| 17 |Necro Near By|My Elven scouts have just reported there is a [[Necromancer]] to the North East.  It appears he may be in the vicinity of the Amulet.  The scouts also informed me he is terrorizing and killing the locals.  I will lie to rest every tortured soul this [[Necromancer]] has locked in an undead body.}}
{{TErow| 21 |Letter from [[Sandro]]|I received a very interesting letter from [[Sandro]] today.  Apparently he convinced his master I could be entrusted with the full story.  It seems that [[Ethric]] is doing more than just research.  He believes he has found a way to construct a necromancy suppressing artifact, but to do this he needs three lesser artifacts:  an [[Amulet of the Undertaker]], a [[Vampire's Cowl]] and a pair of [[Dead Man's Boots]].  [[Sandro]] offered me more gold to find the other two artifacts once I locate the Amulet.}}
{{TErow| 21 |Letter from [[Sandro]] (cont)|I wrote back to [[Sandro]] that [[Ethric]]'s project was a worthwhile one and promised to search for the two artifacts after finding the [[Amulet of the Undertaker]].  After sending off the letter, I decided to look up [[Ethric]] upon the completion of my quests and persuade him to let me donate money towards his research.  I admire his values.}}
{{TErow| 23 |Message to [[Clancy]]|I sent a message to [[Clancy]] telling him about [[Ethric]]'s project and that I had promised to help [[Sandro]] find a [[Vampire's Cowl]] and a pair of [[Dead Man's Boots]].}}
{{TErow| 28 |[[Ghost Dragon]]s|One of my Elven scouts talked to a local who said he saw a group of [[Ghost Dragon]]s going through a Subterranean Gate several months ago.  Maybe the [[Ghost Dragon]]s with the Amulet can be found underground!}}
{{TErow| 33 |Visit from a [[Druid]]|An old Druid appeared just as we were setting up camp last night.  He said he had heard much about me from both [[Mayor Delino|Mayor Dilino]]<!---Text Error---> and [[Clancy]] and wanted to meet me.  There was something I instantly liked about him, and we wound up talking through the night.  He was quite interested in the differences between [[Sorcerer]] and [[Druid]] magic and especially curious about my teachers.<p>I started to tell him about my instructor [[Amanda]] when I realized that he had her same calm and accepting eyes.  I surprised the [[Druid]] when I told him this, but I didn't feel comfortable enough to tell him much more about [[Amanda]].  You never can be too careful with strangers these days, although we parted on good terms the next morning.</p>}}
{{TErow| 37 |Message from [[Clancy]]|[[Clancy]] sent me a message back saying he would also like to help [[Ethric]] but first needed the leave of his master, [[Lord Fayette]].  [[Clancy]] thought [[Lord Fayette]] would allow him to help as long as we didn't do anything to upset the [[Erathia]]ns.}}
{{TErow| 41 |Saved a Hamlet|This morning, screams brought us to a tiny hamlet.  A small roaming band of [[skeleton]]s and [[zombie]]s were attacking the villagers, but they were no match for my troops.  I rode down the last [[skeleton]] myself.  I knocked the [[skeleton]] down and trampled it again and again with my horse's hooves until all was left was a flattened pile of bone shards.  I swear I heard a sigh of relief as the [[skeleton]]'s imprisoned soul was released to the afterlife.  However, my troops looked at me strangely afterwards.}}
{{TErow| 49 |Gold|People are strange about gold.  If you don't let them give it to you, they don't know what to do and get upset.  I've gotten to the point where I just take it when they offer it to me - if they can afford it.  It's just easier that way.  I could tell [[Sandro]] wouldn't have known how to deal with me if I hadn't taken my payment; he was so certain he could buy my loyalty.  The funny thing is I would have helped his anti-necromancy research for free.}}

{{user commentary|
If you are lucky enough, you can win this scenario by opening [[File:Treasure_Chest.gif]] [[Treasure Chest]]s. That's because {{An|Amulet of the Undertaker}} is a [[treasure]].
