SLAVE: “you distracted them long enough for me to escape so I must return the favor and tell you that these trolls are being used. For years they have created aromatic stews to raise the dead for their own means, sending columns of purple smoke into the air. Orcs have recently showed up here, attempting to use the magic of the trolls. They seem very interested in a dirt hill south east of here and use the trolls to protect it. I’m not sure why the hill is so interesting, but there are three marble stones there with writing on them, if you make rubbings of each of these stones and bring them back to me I will translate.”
REWARD: Food and “the door key”
Quest 5 “A darker design”
-Bestowed by troll slave
Objective: Enter the catacombs and destroy the evil there.
Summarized dialogue:
Slave: “the key I just gave you is to the door in the side of the hill. I took it from the trolls. You must enter into the catacomb tunnels and destroy a great evil there. The stones tell of an evil sealed within this tomb and covered in layers of dirt. It is told that a sacrifice may cause the dirt to wash away and reveal the great evil to the pure air. This agent you seek may be this sacrifice.”

- after defeating the skeleton king and his minions the floor collapses and players find themselves in a lower chamber by a strange altar.
- the king’s son is on the altar. A vampire leans over him.
- the vampire reveals his plan.
VAMPIRE: “The trolls were useful for a time, reviving a small undead army for me with their simple magicks. Their columns of smoke were beacons to wandering dead souls. I knew this would also attract the attention of the orcs, who were instrumental in obtaining this young agent for me. You will not stop me from taking this young man’s life and leaving him here to take my place in this prison while I venture forth into the wider world to feed once more on living flesh.”
-the players must fight and defeat the vampire.
-the vampire is lvl 10. His attacks cause massive bleed damage and power loss.
