Island Empire, Part IV To face the Lich

Zurrik Odeil

"We have been told to see a gnoll in the back of the Busted Skull. What can you tell me about that place. Should we go in quiet or go in loud? And who would you say is the Sorcerer's biggest enemy here?"

"It is hard to say which of the local crime lords will be willing to serve the resurgent Sea Sorcerer and which will fight him. I can try to find out more. As for the Busted Skull, its a rough place to be sure, but well armed men such as yourselves should have little enough to fear there as long as you keep your guard up."

"We appreciate the information. We can drop back by after our outing to the Busted Skull. If we miss you, we will probably be staying at Goodwife Pilson's again tonight. Do any of the local crime lords have a reason to especially fear or hate undead? Now that the Sorcerer is a lich, he could be looking for undead servants. For that matter, are reports of missing persons larger than normal around here?"
 

"That is an interesting angle. I will certainly try to find out if any of the local crime lords are unusually paranoid about undead. I don't know what things are like where you come from, but around here we fear and hate undead.

As for missing persons, this is dangerous part of the Empire and people disappear every day, but I have not seen an increase."

"Most people hate undead and want to be left alone by the undead. We are looking for someone who will want to hunt it down and kill it before it comes here. Thanks for the information, I will rejoin my friends, and we will be on our way."

As he leaves the room, Zurrik will look for Gnurl and the others. "Are we ready to help Radoon find his mystery women?"

"There is only one woman for me and she is back in a port waiting for me. I would merely like to make a donation to show my appreciation....Now things would be different if I were 25 years younger."

"...not a single, solitary split-tail in this town would be safe on the streets, would she, Radoon," chimes in Gnurl helpfully with a wink for his friend. ;)
 


The temple is a large structure on a hill with a massive dome. It is easy to spot, but negotiating the narrow winding streets to get there is a little more difficult. The place is quite impressive from a distance, but as you get closer the signs of age and neglect are move obvious. Such a massive structure needs a lot of maintenance and it appears the funds and wherewithal to get it done. A small flock of beggars are arrayed along the broad avenue leading up the temple.

OOC: spot checks from all...
