> as you move your hands you find that there is little space in this limitless darkness, so mystery solved. You are in a confined space, away from a source of light or hermetically sealed.

From proprioception you ascertain hat you are laying down on a flat surface, possibly stone due to its temperature and roughness. It seems the space that holds you is no bigger than your body. Perhaps a sarcophagi. (Oh that delectable word, it just came to your mind.)

Your voice echoes slightly, but no response is heard, and your realize that you cannot hear anything from outside, perhaps your confinement is thick or underground.

The surface is rough, certainly like stone, but it does not budge an inch. And exerting your full strength you realize that a child may just be stronger than you. There seems to be some irregularities on the slab that holds you, as if chiseled.

You feel stronger now, as if you could lift a mountain. The stone slab poses no challenge to you now. It is easily lifted and pushed aside.

At your command fire lights many candles on what seems like an endless hallway. At last you have vision, and what you see is a featureless wall and a cold and damp stone floor. your hands are but bone, white and old.

Who are you? What are you? These questions come to you and unlike the words, no answer is there waiting. What do you do now?

To your mind comes the answer:

Miasma 4th level spell, effect eats the flesh of those in the area it was casted.

Blissfull sleep: 3rd level spell, effect causes living creatures to feel tired and to fall asleep for several hours.

now these are interesting revelations, but they do not answer those questions of who you are and what you are.

Again you stretch your arm and speak "Create minor item: Armor" At the end of your sentence a bright light is summoned and in a flash it is gone. before you lies an armor made of steel you don it and feel at ease.

as you continue down the hallway you hear the rattlings of chains, it is soft but ever present. On the floor there are the bones of at least two other humans.

"Stone Tower shield"

You equip a massive object it takes half of the hallway , and it must weight at least half a ton. its design seems dwarven. Huh, a new word, strange how that works. You adapt a defensive stance with the shield.

You hide behind the shield and attempt to discern the creature.

Phamtom level 45 creature, Class Undead, Affiliation - Darkness, Occupation - grave keeper, Created by [HIDDEN]

The creature does not seem to move, perhaps it cannot see you behind the massive shield. You obtained information on it, but you are unsure what to do with it.

You decide to confront this creature. "Can you talk?" You ask with no emotion apparent, you even question how you have a voice with no vocal cords or lungs, or a tongue. it is amusing to think that merely chattering with your lower jaw a voice actually comes out, magik indeed.

The phantom wavers, "Yes my lord, I can."

The figure before deems it to speak with some trepidation. My lord we are currently in a small tomb.

"There are no other occupants unless you count the many, many adventures, and thieves that tried in and foolishly to obtain treasure of this place. It is merely a long hallways about 400 meters long and a a single sarcophagi. nothing else."

The spirit motions to the exit behind him, a hallway has only on real direction. nothing, more nothing less. When you both get the to exit he apologies. "My lord I am to stay here and replenish the bones in the sarcophagi, this is my purpose and you yourself, told me that not even your orders could take from this task."

Its mostly slow for a couple of factors. Normally I enjoy and work better when players are bickering with each other and formulating ideas and theories on the quests. Which i HIGHLY encourage here. WINK WINK to everyone.

But its also due to the number of players. @ years ago when I was more active it was all posted on tg and I had some 16 20 people going on at once. and to get to this point would have taken some 30 to 50 minutes at most. Hope that answers as best as i can.

You strech your hand and speak the words "Summon: seeking vampire bat" the creature seems to have been called out of a void in space, it appears before you. Strange, not like an animal, it is our of this realm of existence.

You try and use Greater Prying Eyes on the beast, but it does nothing other than show you the beast itself. Perhaps this is not the correct application of the spell.

The bat leaves and flies quite gracefully albeit fast towards the town. Two hours later and about 5 kilometers or hard terrain and the odd squirrel that decided to make a house inside your armor you have reached the outskirts of the town. So far only animals were nearby,you were not sure if to kill those. at all.

The bat will approach the town in 12 minutes at its current rate.

You grab the furry companion and lay on him some of your magical essence, then as you expand its mind it in turn expands yours, mostly with the idea that nuts are delicious, and that you must hide them, hide them all. Not exactly the best of ideas on this one, but once the ritual is completed the mental message is clear:

Alchemist Squirrel level 23 creature, Class Anthropomorphic animal [RISEN], Affiliation - Darkness, Occupation - assistant, Created by [HIDDEN]

You concentrate on the next spell, it seems to require quite a lot of mana. Once done it adds a faceplate to your armor and an aura that dispels suspicion, smells, and diverts attention away from your person. It also guides you to leave behind the heavy shield and stone mace.

At any rate please follow the twitter: twitter.com/DeathLordQuest

I am not likely to run one tomorrow. So best way to know when is thru that.

I mean seriously I want to keep it alive, but this next part on the quest is kinda world building stuff and having at least two players is a must. Three or more preferably.

I guess we can do a bit of a sidequest with one player. maybe. Lets see if anyone else shows up.

>>1101179
One more player now.
