Attention
Friends of Krandor
and
Enemies of Undeath[/i]
Recently, a small group of people in Krandor witnessed a darkly clad individual enter the crypt nearest the water and claim it as his own. With the authorization of the City Administrator for Public Works, and his assurance that the catacombs were public property, the crypts were investigated.
Within, many bodies had been defiled by animation magicks, and were a danger to any who entered. Not too very deep within, after intense combat that cost three of five lives, the darkly robed figure was encountered. Without introduction, he insisted that the authorized party were invaders who disrupted the catacombs, claimed to be the power within the crypt, and demanded all to leave before he threatened indirectly to murder and raise the group as undead servants.
When confronted with force, the darkly clad figure vanished. Those of the Weave present had no explanation of the ability. The remaining members of the authorized group started back to the surface. On the way, more animated bodies were encountered, and the robed figure stood among them untouched before commanding them to attack. The individual was again met with force, and fled quickly under a rain of blows, though well protected, before again vanishing.
The situation was reported to the Administrator, who had the crypt sealed temporarily. Rumors were mentioned of a source of power deep in the crypts that is the cause of much of the unrest for the interred dead. Despite the suggestion of the Administrator to seek priestly help, a majority of the authorized group determined to attempt a resolution. Upon returning to the crypt entrance and having the bars sealing the door removed, the entrance was found to be securely held from within. No action taken could open the door. As more attempts were made, a greater and greater wave of discernable hatred could be felt from within. At one point, some of the group were thrown down by invisible force, and later, the very ground was felt to shake.
To protect the citizens, no greater efforts were made to force the door. The bars were returned to seal the door from without, and this Call for Assistance is sent to all who would help eliminate the darkness from the crypts of Krandor. Together, we can ensure the safety of the people.
