Don’t Touch That! You Could Lose a Hand!
The Guardians and Eltuire explore further into the cavern, hoping to discover Kieva and get the hell out. They come across a hidden door, a collapsed staircase, a table with several magical items, and a gong nearby. Before doing anything silly, the groups explore the room. Wulf is able to identify an amulet that prevents detection by magical means, but mistakenly touches a dagger that provokes Wulf into a violent rage caused by images of his worse enemies and nightmares. With a combined effort, the group can subdue him temporarily. In an attempt to remove the dagger from his hand, Blood breaks his hand. El, not taking a chance that the Dagger can mess with Wulf’s mind, cuts his hand off entirely. Not providing immediate results, Wulf is awakened and attacks again until El and Blood destroy Wulf’s hand, severing the connection between the item and Wulf. |
Whilst Wulf returns to his senses, the group is eager to find Kieva and leave, seeing no other options currently available, El’s intuition to hit the gong leads the group in the right direction but into a greater threat. Barris the Lich demands a vessel to walk the planes of Ios once more. The group, not eager to sacrifice themselves or Kieva, is left with no choice but to defend themselves when Blood attacks Barris. However, despite providing an adequate challenge even in an exhausted state, the group is trapped in a magical force cage with no means to escape. Every second, the situation grows dire until Wulf pulls out a unique card…. |
A Familiar Face Time stops for all except Wulf, and a familiar figure appears, the Withered One. The Withered One reveals Barris as a warrior of no real merit and fully aware of Wulf’s current predicament and Wulf’s quest to reach the Divine Gate. The Withered One offers Wulf some comfort about his adoptive father, Nebin Rivenstone, and that he may even be found at the Divine Gate guiding souls. The Withered One quickly removes Barris and disappears into a pool of darkness. Offering some concerning advice about Nathee and a helping hand towards Wulf whenever he is ready, but at what cost? |
