"Both of you are correct. A local scholar, quite the bright idiot, began looking into the encrypted writings in the book at the behest of his friend and employer. I've, um, never been very good at thinking through the consequences of my own actions, and on a lark I decided to try out what I'd deciphered to see if I'd gotten it correct. As it happens, I had. I thought it would be safe, as the book also provided the codes to stop the invasion."I've seen signs that the advance party - the code book names them the 'Black Echelon' - has started it's mission. I was just about to give the signal to stop when those thugs grabbed me and my friends. I heard them mention Nessian's name, that's how I know he's behind this. He's a small time 'crime lord' here in Planks with ambitions to become the big boss. I don't know for sure, but I believe he means to use the threat of this invasion to blackmail and leverage his way to more power."But it's worse than Nessian knows, and he's fiddling with things beyond his ability to control. It wasn't just the Black Echelon who took that oath . . . it was the entire armada! If the Echelon isn't stopped before they weaken the city and signal the invasion, Venza will be overrun by an entire fleet of invading undead!"If you could just get that book back for me, I could stop this madness before my actions lead to the fall of Venza!"</blockquote>
