Annika and Donall are rebuffed by the half-orc barkeep, "This ain't no inn. This place is for drinking and eating and for miners, quarrymen and soldiers and their guests at that. You outsiders bring nothing but trouble." He harumphs and then softens his tone, "Bah. You can sleep by the fire if you help me clean up." The half-orc glances at the ratkin, wrinkling his nose, "You, too, I guess."
Kowl doesn't recall anything specific about duergar as he and Peregrin reach the graveyard. As he sets the duergar's body down, he notices a small grey stone with black veins literally embedded in her abdomen. The stone begins to glow with an eerie, ghostly white light. There is a pulse of energy and everything goes black...
Kowl is suddenly on the battlements of Silvergard Castle, looking down at a horde of demons scrambling their way up the mountain side toward the castle. Archers wait nervously next to him as Lord Muzdum holds his hand raised, about to give the order to fire.
Peregrin is suddenly standing by the black obelisk in Silvergard, the memorial to those who sacrificed their lives during the Shadow War, including his parents. There is a crack in the obelisk and an eerie, ghostly white light emanates from the fissure.
The dwarf and halfling come to their senses only to face another nightmare. The duergar, still quite dead, is moving. Worse, the graves all around them are beginning to shift, as if their occupants were struggling to free themselves.
