When Osseric had finnised offering to his Patron, the undead knight spoke to him. A creaking voice that was not of his previous minion sounded in his mind.
"It has been long since there has been an offering on this altar. The Necro-priests have gone, as have the inhabitants of this fortress. This shrine has been forsaken."
Osseric raised an eyebrow. "You've been left with much of your mind." he spoke in his mind.
"The Necro-priests left it to me to guard and maintain this shrine. There were would be months on end when they would not apear. The lords of the fortress did not look kindly upon the worship of He of the Underworld. I was to operate without them. Though I have been doing so for many centuries now."
"What is you're name then?"
"My name is........................" The voice of the knight muted and only a faint sigh Osseric could hear. The name of the Knight must have been wiped.
"If you have no name, than you shall be named Gyvan henceforth." Osseric spoke out loud, naming the undead man after his late son-in-law.
While doing so his eye caught a circular object the size of a large watermelon covered by a nearly decayed cloth. Osseric went towards it and brushed the cloth away. Beneath it lay an orb, eminating a strong magical presence. The orb was translucent and inside it a human-looking skull floated. Osseric picked up the artifact and was slightly amazed how the skull kept level whatever way he turned the orb. The orb itself looked like it was made of glass, but it was far to heavy. Osseric handed the artifact to Gyvan.
Probing the shrine with his mind, Osseric found only the orb. Either that was the only artifact here, or it was shielding others that were far less powerfull. Osseric decided that whichever the case would be, the orb would make due.
Osseric and his minions made their way out of the catacombs of the fortress. Osseric was near the entrance when he spotted a single gold coin. One of his travel companions must have dropped it. Osseric's miser nature came to surface. It was loot what the Deathknight promised, and he would get some before he left.
After wandering through the corridors of the fortress for some time Osseric came upon the treasure room. Large piles of gold and silver coins and precious jewels lay in the room. More than Osseric could carry with him. Osseric carried a large, but half-filled purse with him and he had his four original minions bring a gunny sack each. But it was not enough to carry even a sizable portion of the riches out. Osseric ordered his minion to fill the sacks with riches and pondered the matter while he filled his purse with coins. It was his greed that drove him to Necromancy in the first place and this was to good a prise to pass.
Some time later, when all the sacks were filled Osseric stepped out of the room last. He pulled out a flask of Soulessence and drew from the entire content. He used all it's power to erect a strong magical barrier over the door. Only powerfull mages could get into the chamber now. He would have his minions return tonight and pile rubble onto the door and wall. He would say to the others that the ceiling collapsed. Osseric would return here and have his entire undead staff empty the room. But Osseric was patient and was content to leave it for what it was for the time being. Oserric waited and had his minions block the door already with rubble.
When Osseric stepped out of the fortress dusk had set in. He saw a small fire from the camp and headed towards it.
When Osseric stepped into the light of the fire he spoke.
"Ah, we have guests...I see. How delightfull."

You already proven to be one. Tael shook his head. Not powerful enough. Turned out he needed help if he were to come out victorious this time. He swallowed his pride and walked over to Osseric.
"I am asking, a sorcerer to a necromancer, if you could assist me in my training on counterspells." he asked, his voice low. He tried to mask the emberrasment in his voice, but didn't really succeed.

The mage strode down into the valley,, bearing a staff of oak. A small child ran up to him, laughing, but her expression turned to fear as she saw the mage's expression. She turned, and ran, but not quickly enough. Evelgor stepped over her dead body, chuckling. He strode into the town, and from there into a tavern. The innkeeper strode over to him. The last thing he saw was a green flame in the mage's eyes. The Zephilanot sat down in a dark corner, and looked for his next victim. Perfect. A Death Knight was sitting alone, in as corner of the tavern. A look of shock came over his face, but then it passed. The Death Knight strode over the to dead mage, and picked up the few bottles with jinns. Then, without a word to anyone, he left the tavern. Evelgor found the knight horse, mounted it, and rode out to the west. It was time to visit the Fortress again.

"Wait, Domerth. Though Poat may stay with Tael and you all, my place is here, and here is where I shall find the secret to my curse." said Salim, thinking about the mural he saw. "I will not go with you all, and I will not fight a war for those I have no alignment to. I may be a mercenary and I may be useful one, but I will not risk my life for a cause I have no say in."

Evelgor galloped through the land, faster than the wind itself, stopping rarely to let the horse rest. After a while, he was galloping on tracks of a small group. Surely they weren't going to his Fortress? Scowling, he rode on.

- Whatever floats your boat Salim. There's a blue Wyrm living in the ruin, but I doubt that he'll cause you any problems. Unless you'll piss him off. All that's left for us, is to wish good fortune in your search.
Domerth putted away the empty plate, and started reading the book that he found in the fortress.

He came to a small ridge, overlooking a campsite. Below, was a small party of humans and other creatures. A Death Knight, an elf, two goblins... The Death Knight was reading a book. It had the unmistakable aura of the fortress. Barely preventing himself from screaming in fury, Evelgor whipped out the Death Knight's sword, looking for a target.

"Wait, Salim! You can't possibly want to turn this opportunity down!" said Poat, "Imagine all of the things we would encounter, and all of the profit we would make from it!"
"Poat, my place is here in Magitara. Go with Tael and the others. Learn what you can and do what you will. I shall search for the secret to lifting my people's curse. Farewell."
With that Salim went off and packed nearly everything he owned, and then rode off on his horse.
As he was riding, he smelt a magical scent within the air. He got off his horse and crept over to where a dark figure stood overlooking the camp. Salim then drew his sword noisily, announcing his presence whilst saying, "I am Salim Aladhra Durano! Who are you?!"

Evelgor whipped around, and snarled angrily, "Thief!" With that, he blasted a hex at the human, and then jumped forward, swinging the Death Knight's blade.

Domerth putted away the book and drew out his blade.
- That man's possessed!- He shouted after looking at him. his aura was that of black sticky darkness.
The twins quickly assumed the protection of their queen, Standing in front of her with their weapons ready.
- At your side Milady!
Rebeca's body was surrounded by several orbs of lightning, which danced around her. She conjured another spell, calling forth lightning from the heavens, striking near the intruder's feet.
- Back Fiend! Return to the darkness from where you came, or be crushed by the storms I command!
- Let's show him what the people of Meniranth are made of- Said Maegwyn and clashed with the intruder

Salim blocked the hex with his blade and then lightly hopped over his opponent, blocking other attacks along the way. He turned, ducking a sword blow as he went and then kicked the intruder in the stomach. Salim joined the Maegwyn and Falrick as they defended the party.

Evelgor was driven back, and he angrily snarled, "You will regret this, scum! You will all regret this!" With that, he made a wall of mist to cover his retreat, and he retreated. Once he was a safe distance away from camp, he said, "Looks like I'll need reinforcements." He strode off to the fortress.

- I believe that the man was possessed by a Zephalinot, and for some reason that crazed spirit thinks that the blackstone fortress we just looted is his.- Domerth browsed through the pages of the book he found. - This manuscript has some insight on variuos creatures of this realm. seems that the creatures we call zephalinots now were the souls of the adversaries that the inhabitants of the blackstone fortresses fought. In the aftermath of the war, the sorcerers unleashed a terrible curse on them, tearing their souls apart from their bodies, and sending to wander the world. But more importantly, the book also contains the location of the last piece of Lycan fury. We can search for it after we have dealt with the usurper of my realm.

He strode through the ancient halls, looking for the hidden door. Ah, yes, there it was. To Zephalinots, it was insubstantial, to others, it was as hard a rock and looked like a wall, not a door. Evelgor went through. He went into a room labeled, "Minions". In front of him was a variety of statues, all made of black obsidian. Evelgor looked around a bit, and then picked a tall, dark-skinned man, clutching a serpentine staff, clothed in a toga. Evelgor opened the old, dusty tome lying next to the figure, and dutifully recited the incantation. He winced as the final word was said, for the magical vibrations were sure to have been felt at least twenty miles away. Evelgor flew back into a wall as the shockwave hit him. He was slightly bruised, but his goal was accomplished. The dark-skinned man was silently staring at him, waiting for an order.

Next, the Zephalinot cracked two bottles open, the ones from the mage. Two jinns flew out. One was a tall, blue-skinned man, with four arms. In each arm he clutched a broadsword. His muscles rippled as he moved. The other jinn was a fair-skinned young man, with golden hair. He was clad in a sleeveless shirt, and long pants. A feeling of power radiated from him. They all turned to Evelgor. "Kill them," he snarled. "I don't care how you do it, just make sure they don't survive." Without a word, he left. He had other business to attend to. The three looked at each other, and nodded. It was time to get to work.

((Working my ass off))
As the dawn broke out, the party made their move, towards the city of Rockport.
- Where's the lizard with his goblin?- Asked Domerth- I saw them loitering around the camp some time ago, but now I didn't seem to find them anywhere. No matter, they'll show up if they didn't run like cowards.

Ever since Salim left the party, Poat had been feeling relatively depressed. His only consolation were the magic training that Tael and Osseric gave him. His sputtering little fire still hadn't improved much, but once Poat was able to turn his fire different colors depending on how tired or energetic he was.

After a few uneventfull days of travel, the party reached the town of Rockport. During the course of travel Domerth observed his companions, and their progress to reach a higher level.
- Here we are.- Said Rebeca- This is "The Unyielding", the vessel that'll take us to Meniranth- She said to her new magitaran allies, while looking at a large ship made from finest oak. It was in contrast with the small fishing boats docked nearby.- Gather what you need, we'll set sail in the evening.
- Don't worry Poat, when we return, we'll find Salim, just like my sister found me.- Domerth tried to cheer up the goblin.
