they are buried in the castle courtyard’s small graveyard, around the back.“They were good friends,” Bink says simply.“All Misani knew of the future was pain and death… that’s pretty sad,” Eltharion states quietly.The Heroes take a day to mourn and think about their best course of action.  They meet again the following morning.“Okay, any suggestions?” Bink asks, as Eltharion, Damaré, Ogrim and Adlai arrive.“Whatever we do, I think we need to scry Grog and those guys, and bring them back here to help us.  We will be less effective separated,” Eltharion reasons.“True enough.  What sounds the most promising?” Bink asks.“I have some more news.  I sent a message to king Wallace via magic, and he responded.  He said that the undead wizard’s name is Velkvir,” Adlai states.“Well, that’s pretty convenient.  We know where he lives, and he’s not even home,” Bink’s eyes brighten.“We could sneak into his lair while he’s down in the forest to the south,” Eltharion puts in.“Let’s do some research on him first.  Everybody head to the library, Adlai and I are going to go scry for Grog and the others.  Meet up in an hour,” Bink says, and everyone breaks.Ogrim, Eltharion and Damaré head to the castle library and look around.  Bink and Adlai head up to the laboratory and get Adlai’s mirror.“Here goes,” Adlai says, casting his scrying spell.  An image slowly shows up in the mirror.  Looks like Grog, Jezda, and some unknown and very large armored man are sitting in a jail cell.  No sign of The Necromancer or Trek-Donal.“Okay, that’s good enough, I think I can teleport there,” Bink says.  Eltharion shows up in an hour.“Where are Ogrim and Damaré?” Bink asks.“They’re still researching.  So what did you find?” Eltharion asks.“Found Grog and the skinny orc.  Let’s go get them back,” Bink holds onto Eltharion’s arm and casts teleport; their vision fades to the ethereal plane, and just as instantly back into the prime.  They are in a small jail cell.Bink gets punched in the face, hard.  A gauntleted hand flies in from the very tall, very muscular blonde haired man.“No!  He’s my friend!” Grog yells out, jumping between Bink and the man.“Ha, ha, ha… your friend!  I’m sorry about that,” the man chortles.“Yeah, right.  We’re here to rescue our friends,” Bink says, rubbing his jaw.“Mind taking me along with you?  I’m looking to get back to the Adventurer’s Guildhall,” the man says.“Sure thing, but hold on,” Bink pauses, then punches the man in the face, returning the favor.The large man merely laughs again, extending his hand.“Name’s Blaze, Blaze Brague.  Nice to meet you,” Blaze says.“Bink.  This is Eltharion,” Bink says, his hand a little sore from hitting Blaze’s almost iron jaw.“You think we could break out of here and get our weapons back, first?” Blaze says, pointing out of the cell.“Sure, what’s out there?” Bink asks.“Hobgoblins.  Giants a bit further out.  I think our stuff is being kept in that closet across the way,” Blaze says.  Jezda, the skinny orc, stands and readies himself.  Bink gets ready to blast the iron bars of the cell open.  Eltharion readies his sylvan and flaming scimitars.  Blaze squeezes his holy symbol of Tempus.  Grog’s eyes glaze over red and bloodshot.  He was angry.Should the Heroes have any trouble escaping?  Who is the Blaze guy?  Where are The Necromancer and Trek?  This and more, next update!</blockquote>
