5) Brother James and the Eye Tyrant
Posted: Thu Nov 20, 2014 11:33 pm
Having settled things at Rykkens shop the companions head to the Yawning Portal for a hearty meal. Arriving at the inn and sitting in their usual table the company is fed a solid meal of slow roasted lamb and fresh salad accentuated by fine wine and dark ale.
The meal finished the head to the church to see if that cursed mace has indeed been cleansed. Arriving on scene they are greeted by none other than Balmorea the head cleric of the order. The massive man has a subdued look in his eyes. Welcome friends to our sanctuary. Please follow me. Leading the CoS into a side room he points out one man in particular. Brother Chlesea was head of the maces cleansing. Looking at Chelsea Giovanni is instantly aware that something undead has attacked him. His flesh is riven and pale, eyes wide and staring at nothing as his hands clench and spasm at his sides. Leaning in close the CoS cleric can smell the stench of death upon him. Balmorea speaks They were in the midst of the cleansing, drawing out the evil within that mace when something came for them. By Chalseas description it was a rotting dwarf. Powerful it came.... it killed three apprentices with it's hands before it was slowed by our brother. Once it had its hand on the mace it began fighting in earnest. Four more fell to that damned weapon before it left. I don't know if our brother will ever recover. He says a prayer over the cleric on the cot and sighs. There is a powerful undead stalking the realm now, more powerful than I've seen in ages, teeth like fangs it has and stronger than any mortal can ever be. Ensure that your weapons are enchanted before you face it, nothing else will damage it. He lays a hand on his clerical companion. Kill it for me Carnage of Steel. Kill it and bring it's skull to me for redemption.
