[60 / 4 / 19]
“…much longer do we have to wait?” the gravelly voice of the dragonborn bellowed. “Was the goal to drag us here in the backwater of nowhere just so Titus could bleed us of our gold?” the voice roared with barely suppressed contempt.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha…” came a hollow voice echoing around the ancient stones. There was the scraping of mail against rock. “Gold and riches, still to be promised. What a fool’s errand. You’ve swindled us all Leo, and taken from me my last hope…”
“Oh, go play more knucklebones and leave me out of it,” came a reedy voice sourly. The crackling of a turning page could be heard. “Look at this inscription and this language,” the reedy voice came, breathless and eager. “It must be Elder script, there are only a fragment of records of this language in the last century!”
“The ritual must have worked!” the reedy voice jumped an octave in exasperation.
“Everything was done perfectly! The constellations were in the right houses, the dove corpses and entrails were in the right pentagrams, even the blood, even Stephen—”
“Best not to dwell on that, Leo” came the last voice that cut through the air like a knife. “Come, away from your studies and play some dice. What’s done is done and the kid’s brother was paid off well.” The faint clatter of bones on stone accentuated the point. “One more day and I say we leave this place and put it at the back of our minds. There are enough gemstones from the sarcophagus to feed and board us all for three months.”
Gently you hear it. A whisper from the last voice that no mortal could hear. “Or just enough for one at least,” the man said under his breath with a quick exhale and a chuckle.
>Welcome to Fallen Evil quest.
You play as an Ancient Being, newly awaked in this millennia by the force of five dungeoneers and a blasphemous ritual. Your immediate objective is to awaken your faculties and accumulate power. Currently you are an almost blind mote of shadow stuck inside of a stone sarcophagus gilded with words of power and ancient seals. Seals that have been broken.

1)the angry Dragonborn mercenary
2)the hollow voice (crestfallen knight)
3)Leo, the reedy voice (knowledge-hungry wizard)
4)the chuckling man (greedy thief)
