Ah…find someth…one.”  Stutters Cedious.   He has heard enough about Lich and their powers to know this is bad.  Never mind its backup.   Speaking of which-“IT IS GREAT FOLLY ON YOUR PART TO TRESSPASS ON CANNITH LAND.  LAND I NOW CONTROL.”  Then his facial features twist in anger and hatred.  He has seen the remains of his friend, the Maug Barbarian.  “YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT.”“We come to find ….Graymax…er  mark….ah…..”Capio steps up.  “We seek Graymark.  We believe he is here.”“ARROGANT ELF!   I CARE LITTLE WHOM YOU LOOK FOR.  YOU PRESUME TOO MUCH!  YOU… YOU SMELL OF THE UNDEAD NUISANCE.” It says smelling the air.  “IF YOU ARE IN LEAGUE WITH IT THEN YOU WILL SURELY DIE SLOWLY AND IN PAIN.”Capio backs off.Cider steps in next.  “If it is the creature we faced earlier, we have destroyed it.  It will bother you no more.”“YOU SPEAK AS IF I OWE YOU FOR THIS SERVICE!  DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE MY PATIENCE.  I ASK ONE LAST TIME-  WHY DO YOU COME HERE?”   The energy of the stored spell ready to be released at will from its hand glows brighter.“We are here from House Cannith…”“DO NOT SPEAK TO ME OF THE HOUSE.  WE BROKE TIES LONG AGO.”“They seek someone named Graymark…..are you he?”“WHY WOULD THEY SEEK ME?”Cedious, very out of character, stumbles and trips over his words.  “Well they have divided into two factions…three factions actually…and they each seek to gain power over the others.  The Creation Schema-““THE CREATION SCHEMA IS EVIL AND MUST NEVER BE ASSEMBLED!  WHAT MADNESS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I LEFT THE WORLD?!?”“Well ah…there was this war that….”“TELL ME EVERYTHING!”Cedious swallows hard but feels the lump remain in his throat.  Trembling he pulls out the scroll given him by the House.  In fury, The Lich flicks the scroll from him with Mage Hand and opens it before him.  His anger never stops.“MADNESS!” the Lich snarls and tosses the scroll into the air and it bursts into flames.  “VERY WELL.  TO FIND THE PIECE THEY SEEK THEY NEED BUT TO FIND MORLOCK.  MORLOCK HAS IT.”“Ah … sir….can you…..can you….”  Cedious knows he may die but feels this creature has information he needs.  “Why.  Why is the Schema so dangerous and evil?” he spits out while trying to gain his composure.  The cold sweat makes this impossible.The lich stares at him and instills further fear into the halfling.  “YOU ARE CORRECT.  I AM GRAYMARK.  I SAW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN XULO COMES TO LIFE.  IT IS WHY WE AGREED TO HIDE THE PIECES.  THE DRAGONS TOOK PIECES AND EACH OF USE TOOK A PIECE TO HIDE.  INDIVIDUALLY THE PIECES ARE HARMLESS.  BUT AS PIECES ARE BROUGHT TOGETHER.  XULO AWAKENS.  WITH THREE PIECES IT CONTROLS OTHER’S MINDS.  COMPLETE IT CONTROLS ANYTHING INCLUDING CONSTRUCTS. “The Lich pauses.  A deadly calm comes to it.  “HOW MANY OF THE PIECES ARE FOUND?”“Ah….we have one, the warforged have one and we believe Elaydren has three.”The Lich stares with anger and concern at the news there are three possessed by one person.  “GO.  NEVER COME BACK.”The six adventurers have never been more happy to comply to a demand before in their lives.</blockquote>
