A Warlock Alone, Island Empire solo game

[Scotley]

Nite, nite

Seeing that the ship is well prepared, Captain Stormwarden retires for the evening. He is somewhat restless, sleep not coming easily. Once he does sleep the night is filled with dark dream and he wakes in the hour before dawn drenched with sweat that has frozen in tiny dagger shaped icecycles on his body. He rises shaking the ice off only to find that it is very warm in the cabin.

9th Day of Sunstime

Rising and becoming spooked, Michael will dress and order breakfeast. While waiting he will ask Guiessippe if he would ask the priestess to join me for breakfeast. When she arrives Michael will tell her about the dream and what has b een happening over the last day "Any idea" he asks

Converstation with Nac'Losin

The wise old woman considers for a while before speaking, "I think you've aquired some sort of taint during the night of the Masque. Something very dark and evil is working on you, trying to tempt you. I would not continue with the pearls or even handle for the time being as you could be admitting the taint to them, ruining them for all but dark purposes. Give me a little time to pray and I can learn some different spells and try to understand this if you like."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Priestess

"I had not thought about that" Michael says. He will then get up and get the pearls and hand them to the Priestess "These may be safer in your posession" then he will pause..."Let's us hope i can resist such temptations"

 

[Scotley]

Nac'Losin

"Indeed, let us hope you can. Tell me more of what happened in there. How might you have aquired this taint?"

 

[J. Alexander]

The Priestess

Michael will tell her in great detail of the temple etc and the block of ice even showing her the two northern hunting knives secured in the lead box.

 

[Scotley]

Revelation

Nac'Losin follows patiently with the story, sometimes, smiling, sometimes nodding and at other times shaking her head. Then near the end when Michael pulls out the daggers she recoils visably. She lets out a stream of curses in celestial. "Gods above, that's your problem. Those things are the vilest I've ever seen. The number of dead associated with those blades is overwhelming."

 

[J. Alexander]

The Priestess

With a slight smile Michael says "I take it the lead box was not reallly working....perhaps we can find a way to shield them better and i take it my guess was right that they would miss them?"
