Green slime poured from his ear and slithered across the room, but Xiang blasted it with White Foul Flame. Investigating the darkened catacombs beneath the village, the party encountered and battled Elros, a Sidhe Arcane Archer who had come here tracking the foul Spidron that had enslaved his village in Angarin. Misunderstandings cleared up, Elros joined the party. Jarl Sigurd & Captain Larius appeared, sent from Trafalgis with a warning from Ulfius - Adam Dickinson had been imprisoned and the Overking would likely be hunting Leo & co. Battling undead rats, dark bats and giant beggar-lice, the party advanced through the caverns. The Spidron attacked, but was swiftly defeated. The party destroyed its cabinet in a large cavern, looted its lair and returned to the surface, surviving villagers freed from its domination. Into Bretania:Journeying south into Makyan territory, they left Gysshk's caravan at a Trade Post. Some 200 miles into Bretania, Elros' keen sight spotted a Death Dealer ambush atop the cliffs ahead. The Death Dealers were attacked and wiped out, 11 of Kung's elite assassins crushed like ants. Another 100 miles brought the band to the great clifftop city of Ankheight, where King Marowa held court in the Royal Palace Gardens of the former Grand Duke. Margravine Eloise introduced herself and made a very good impression on the Makyan king, who warmly welcomed them. At a feast that night, an ancient Makyan crone presented Cho with a gift - Hawk Talons, magic fist-blades to complement her fighting prowess. A 'great bird' had instructed the wise woman to make them. Leo returned to Gaxmoor via teleport, reporting events to Dovistar and Margrave Kanor. Rumours of movement in the Dosk Heights boded ill. Leo had the White Wizardess (Witch?) Laera add a shock enhancement to Sigurd's mighty sword. Dovistar had a guest, Astragard, who said he had a mission for Leo and co - Archduke Ulfius had recommended them for an 'archaelogical' expedition into the Wastes of Gizen in the Southland desets, to the lost tomb of Gutheron of Org. Leo, a little reluctantly, accepted the proposal and returned to Ankheight. After two weeks, Eloise seemed to be getting along splendidly with Marowa, and Sigurd received back his enhanced sword. The party departed Ankheight with Astragard, Larius remaining behind as bodyguard to Eloise.After three days' travel through the hills and savanna east of Ankheight, the party entered the deserts east of the Dosk mountains, heading for Arypt. That afternoon a terrible sandstorm blew up, the party taking shelter in a magical hut erected by Leo. When the storm blew over after dark, far-flung ruins were revealed around them - strewn with many, many bones. Among them the freshly slaughtered remains of the party's mounts! From the darkness swarmed hideous ghoul-beasts, 12 apelike Ghulaz and 4 huge, terrible Gholles. Ghulaz spit paralysed Saphie, while Aos was paralysed by the gaze of a Gholle, his throat ripped out by hungry Ghulaz. The battle was long and hard, but Leo's fire magics and the weapons of Elros, Cho, Sigurd and Xiang at last defeated the foe. Tarquin raised Aos from the dead, his soul somewhat reluctant to return from Dlamelish's welcoming embrace. A sudden return:The next morning, Tarquin received a sending from Petronius - the Hordes of Harecules were attacking the Borderlands! The party was returned to the Borderlands via magic, assembling at the village of Jarrakig as the army of Harecules, well over 3000 strong, approached from the south. To face it the Borderlands had assembled 1800 men - would it be enough... Taking control of operations, Sigurd had Jarrakig levelled - over Saphie Zerler's objections - creating a clear field of fire for the League army east of the Thizzi river. Margrave Kanor assembled another Strike Team under Aos to attack Harecules once battle was joined - including 'Red' Ivy, Trenton Dirge and other Borderlands heroes. With the mailed fist of the League's knights waiting in ambush in the Wildland forest to the north, the soldiers awaited the coming of the foe...</blockquote>
