What has gone before - part 1
It all began several weeks ago with the death of the party member's friend and mentor Professor Lorrimar. Whilst, notified that the Professor was dead they also were informed that they were named as beneficiaries in the Professor's will. Intrigued they set out for Harrowstone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
They found Harrowstone to be a barren, windswept place. They were doon introduced to Lorrimar's daughter Kendra who asked if four of them could serve as pallbearers, and so the small group carried the coffin to the final burial place, the Restlands.
As they reached their destination they were met by several burly villagers, including one Gibs Halpen.
"That's fair enough, we ain't havin no necromancer buried ere, t'aint natural".
"My friend", said Gabriel, "surely you see that Lorimar was no necromancer, he was just interested in what happens after death, a thing that many priests and clerics are too. Surely this is no reason to condemn him, didn't he provide the town with years of devoted service".
The crowd were swayed and Gibs and the others went home, muttering darkly to themselves.
