Naglatha, despite her resolve, could feel her knees weakening after reporting the slow progress, once again, to her master.
“I told you I expected progress since we last met, but once again you dare tell me only step 7 is the only addition to the previously recovered clues?” his dark voice taking on a dangerously low and disappointed tone as he spoke.
“Master,” she tried to explain with a hint of desperation in her voice “My agents are working as fast as they can.”
“Perhaps I can find new ways to motivate them,” came the master’s dark reply “And you.” A moment’s pause ensued, followed by something that felt like a brick wall slamming into Naglatha and throwing her across the Tower’s room to land in a senseless heap.
“I WARNED YOU NOT TO RETURN TO ME WITH NEWS THAT ONLY SHOWS YOUR INCOMPTENCE!!!,” the master’s scream echoed as he continued to pummel Naglatha with spells to within an inch of her life. Storming over to his massive throne, he threw himself down into it, brooding as Naglatha’s dying form lay over a growing pool of blood.
His thoughts turned inward upon the plans she had recently laid out to spur action amongst her unsuspecting agents. A false Red Wizard was about to have his fate come crashing down around him, and she had felt it was the perfect opportunity to get more agents working to obtain the clues. What was his name again? Uzan? Blackie? Kaiser? Maurin? It didn’t matter, he decided. After having heard her plan, perhaps it would work. Perhaps.
He sighed as he pointed to Naglatha’s body and motioned his trembling apprentice over to her side to staunch the flow of blood. He would be merciful this day. One more chance for Naglatha, he thought, before he took matters into his own hands.
The next event for this campaign will be held on Thursday, June 28 starting at 9:00 PM CST and should run for no more than 2 hours. PCs of all levels are welcome to attend. My apologies to our European players as I know this is a bad time for you. Some future campaign events should be more schedule-friendly, and if you can't make this one, you can still participate by finding the non-event clues that are already waiting for anyone to find and claim them.
