I see you have been successful once again, [[Crag Hack|Mister Hack]]!" [[Sandro]] says back at the [[Wingtail Tavern]].<p>"[[Crag Hack|CRAG Hack]]," you grunt. "That stinking [[Death Knight]] [[Marzeth]] is now a dead Knight."<p>"Now, the third item I require is the [[Rib Cage]] of Power, which is being held by a group of [[Necromancer]]s somewhere in the small swamp called [[Ferris]]." He hands you a small map. "It was being kept safe for me in a [[Sanctuary]], but the [[Necromancer]]s, knowing its importance to my research, burned the [[Sanctuary]] to the ground and stole the [[Rib Cage]]. They will do everything in their power to stop you from obtaining it."<p>"[[Undead]] people to fight? I don't like their smell. They stink." You frown as you look at the map.<p>[[Sandro]] takes out a sack and opens it partially, revealing gold and gems. "Think of the rewards I promised and the evil you will have eliminated from [[Enroth (planet)|Enroth]] once you have gotten me all four items."<p>You think a bit and then, slowly, you nod in agreement. After all, these [[Necromancer]]s did burn down the one place where a hero ought to be safe. They should be made to pay for the evil they have done. However, doing battle for this [[wizard]] is turning out not to be as much fun as you had hoped. [[Sandro]] makes you think too much.}} {{TErow| 1 |Entering the region.|As you enter region marked on [[Sandro]]'s map, your first thought is to set up a [[Stronghold]]. The [[wizard]] apparently doesn't have any [[Barbarian]] friends in this land willing to lend you their home, but luckily your scouts report an occupied [[Stronghold]] nearby...}} {{TErow| 21 |Send Message|You order a scout to send a message to the [[Necromancer]]s: "Give up the [[Rib Cage]] or [[Crag Hack]] will crush your bones to dust just as surely as you burned that [[Sanctuary]] to ashes." The messenger runs off and disappears quickly into the underbrush.}} {{TErow| 30 |Reply|Your messenger returns, bruised, bloody, and maimed, but still alive... barely. Limping up to you, he hands you a note: "We know nothing about a [[Sanctuary]], [[Crag Hack|Mister Hack]], but we do know this: you are already dead. You just don't know it yet yourself." You crumble up the paper and grumble that your first name is Crag. As you shove the crumpled note back into the messenger's hand, the hand falls to the ground. He's been turned into a [[zombie]]! With one quick stroke of your axe his head comes off. Damn [[Necromancer]]s! You hate them all!}} |} === Objects === ==== Events ==== {| class="sortable wikitable" cellpadding=5px ! Location !
