The sandy curse

It has been a quiet evening in the desert so far, hanging around, and just talking with some guildies as usual. Then u get an urge to explore the desert some more. I come across a pair of huts so I walk inside to see who inhabits them. I find a man in the one hut who exchanges with me a terrible storey about his tribe being cursed!!! Being the good natured guy that I am I promptly offered to help in anyway that I can. So he tells me that I am to kill the cursed WarLich Hemnosh but in order to summon him I must put the Hemnosh amulet back together. Each piece is held by different cursed member, three pieces in all.

I stay around a while talking with him when he looks over my shoulder and notices that the sun is going down. He points and says "Leave this place at once before the curse takes hold of us!!!" unhesitatingly I listen and head off to find the amulet pieces. Looking back I watch in horror as Chieftain Larn succumbs to the curse. He twists and turns as he morphs into his cursed undead form. I shudder and vow that his tribe shall be avenged!!!

I manage to hunt down the pieces ok and head towards the alter where I'm supposed to summon the Lich. As I place the final piece on the altar they all start to glow green then form into a single amulet. I reach my hand for the amulet but before I touch it I hear a voice behind me. "Fool!!! you just summoned your DEATH!!!" he screams as I am turning around. Its Hemnosh!!!

He starts muttering some words under his breath. I know too well that he is casting a summoning spell. I can't get to him in time to strike him down before he finishes his chant. I quickly find myself surrounded and outnumbered.



At this point all my efforts seem to be lost and my adventure at an end. I fought with all my might and was able to take down every last one of his minions. Only he stands in the way of lifting the curse. I summon my remaining strength into one final attack. And just like that the deed is done, the curse is lifted.

I feel a Calm come over me as I realize my accomplishments. I looked down at Hemnosh and took his hand in which I need to prove that he is dead. The hand smelled of rotting flesh and I had a hard time taking it back to Larn. When I Finlay got back to the hut I was starting to smell worse than all those corpses I had fought. It seemed as tho Hemnosh was still fighting. At least all we need to solve that problem is an air freshiner. Chieftan Larn was more than grateful to see the hand and gave to me in return for it the ring off of Hemnosh's hand. I hid my disgust and gratefully accepted his gratitude and the ring as a reward.



Unsatisfied but exhausted after the journey I return home to get some well earned rest.

A diamond in the rough.

Another lazy day in the world of mirth. I got nothing to do except for chilling with my guildies. I hear from Ladykayden that Duex is looking for some diamonds and that he has saved up lots of sols. So I offer to find some diamonds in exchange for the sols. She says that he agrees (hes not the most talkative of fellows :) ).

So off I go through the desert and under the jungle only to Find myself in the Eastern wastelands. A forsaken land scorched by past warfare and home to many painful memories. Only one from the order Blightbane would remember such events. I am part of this order but have not witnessed any of the events that have taken place here. Only my master and mentor, Cragnik, remains from the past conflicts to tell me the storeys that unfolded in the wasteland.

I almost seem to slow down in the wastelands as I remember the storeys he has told me. My mind is bombarded with the memories of the now dead and the tragedies seem 2 be relived.
I struggle 2 keep my mind focused on my main goal, Hazzeroth Keep, the place where diamonds are plenty but the danger is greatest.

I arrive at the Keep weary but my strength is soon recovered as I remember LadyK's words of encouragement. I scale the near mountain to get a good look over the land to scout out what I will be needing to deal with in my near future battles.
As suspected Hazzeroth's minions prowl the grounds defending his cursed throne. I cast my invisibility spell so as I can sneak in and find the diamonds without being noticed. But unfortunately some of the locals where able to sense my presence.

I had to swiftly and quickly dispose of my foe so as to not draw any more attention to myself. Hazzeroth is a well know tyrant and Blightbane's greatest foe. I wanted to finish him off right there and then but herd a voice on the wind. It was ladyK's!!! I grabbed what diamonds I could find and drank a potion of trinst gate.

Upon arrival in trinst I headed to the bank to put away some of the finer loot I came across when Duex came in. We did the exchange there. My diamonds for his sols, he even threw in some elixirs for me. We both got what we wanted. Satisfied with a good days work I head off to my room and hang up my gear. I hope I can get other such rewards from such adventures.
