Orin unfurls the scroll and clears his throat before beginning to read aloud.
I have chosen your group because I think you are the most likely to succeed in killing me. My past self hopes to journey to the Mausoleum of the Gods, avoiding the gaurdians placed on the path leading there, and reach the Lethie Archway, where the Gem of Oblivion rests.
When gods wish to die, they journey to the mausoleum and step though the archway. Their powers are stripped from them by the gem, and their souls are sent to their final reward. My past self plans to steal the godly powers accumulated within the gem.
The diamond I have left you will transport your group to the mausoleum if you crush it. Unfortunately, it's a one way trip. You must find you own way back, if you can.
I realise that this quest seems impossible, but do not despair. I have also left you a powerful weapon in the form of Reckoner. If you use the blade to attack while my past self is distracted fighting with the Lord of Death, you MAY be able to strike the decisive blow.
By now I've already begun my progress toward the Archway. You must hurry.
Silence settles across the clearing as you absorb the scrolls words.
