>>5992858 Alright here we go. I've been waiting for this since the quest began. With the haul of treasure that he has plundered, Rue'Vahn begins his journey home with an excitement not seen since he proposed to Sunset. Finally, after years of planning, he is ready.
Messenger ravens are sent ahead of time so that his contacts are expecting him when he arrives. Upon his return to the lands of the Aghol, he keeps a low profile by sailing along the coast and doesn't bother visiting the gathering places of the tribe. Instead, he is bee-lining straight for a ritual site in the west.
There, he greets a number of Druchii witches who he remembers fondly from his days of being allied to the servants of Morathi and her cult of pleasure. Opposite to the dark elves are a number of chaos sorcerers who he had done quests for in the past, and asked to be here for this day. All present for this moment are generously paid the wealth they are due for assisting in what comes next, and great number of slaves are brought forth to be sacrificed as fuel for the incantations. As the final preparations are being made, Rue'Vahn summons forth his most trusted retainers to open a small chest which he has been slowly filling over the years. By now, it is well packed with magic scrolls, all containing a copy of the exact same spell:
The Transformation of Kadon The slaves, the scrolls, the service of the wizards, it cost a small fortune for him to see this day
(44 loot to be exact) , but it was all worth it. You see, this was a very special day. It was his anniversary, and he was about to achieve the most wonderful kind of present of all; the kind he can share with the one he loves.
He approaches the center of the ritual site and places his wedding ring on the dais. The chanting begins and the Winds of Ghur condense into a storm. The scrolls evaporate and their energy pours into the circle. Upon the hundredth cry of "PRAISE THE DARK PRINCE!" a lightning bolt crashes down and everything goes silent.
The invocation seems to have been a success. Rue'Vahn approaches the center, and as he picks it up, he notices that his previously silver wedding ring is now coated with a beautiful amber.
