[sblock="Skill Challenge - Persuade the Mad King"]Success! This skill challenge + the brief battle with the tendrils marks another milestone.
Overall Progress: 6 successes, 1 failure[/sblock]
What?... Salvation?...
Ferris' desperate plea brings the wraith to a halt, and it hovers stock still, no longer blown about by the winds of an unnatural rage. Its withered face relaxes, its eyes cleared of madness; its voice, echoing with rage, now resonates only once and conveys only grief and weariness.
Yes... you speak the truth feral warrior. With our death rites we had sought to ward the sacred springs forever, to rise up and guard against the servants of the Enemy should they once again attempt to subvert the primal foci that nurture this land. But in our reckless zeal we overlooked the consequences; for we have become creatures of shadow ourselves, and now the Enemy's servants have power over us. Perhaps you can help us purge the encroaching shadow and free us of this burden.
To Sir Exsixten the wraith sketches a bow as best it can, saying Please forgive our rashness iron knight. I hope we have not badly damaged you in our folly.
A worried look then crosses the dead king's face and it cautions, But, we haven't much time, the ritual has already begun. Here, take these. The wraith holds out his hands to Cyr, and within them, the offerings that the deva had found in the northern chamber. They will be of more use to you now than they are to my people.
[sblock=Treasure]You again receive the following treasures, which Cyr had found then replaced in the northern corridor:
180 gp worth of residuum
1 potion of healing
A ceramic phial containing 2 uses of level 6 clearsense powder
And a peridot gem worth 75 gp
Please distribute as you see fit.[/sblock]
I will come with you and provide what help I can. I still have some power over my domain even though it has already been breached by the shadows. My guards are yours to command. The wraith waves a signal with its spectral hand and the skeletons form into two ranks led by the skinwalker, prepared to march behind you.
There is little time for talk, but if you feel there is some piece of information that would help you better combat the servants of the Enemy, ask and I shall answer as best I can. Otherwise, lead on champions! May you drive away the shadow, and save the tomb of House Running Waters from the fate that befell the Four Winds.
