The Story Ignoring the exit of goblin, Nahkt hands over two scrolls. "These could be of use in the battle with necromancer" Then he gives a quick impromptu briefing: "The main entrance into the necropolis is swarming with undead. I would suggest using or finding an alternative entrance to the necropolis. " There is a mystical cult of LamiasA creature with the an upper torso of a comely woman with cat’s eyes and sharp fangs, while her lower body is that of a lion. hiding in the necropolis. From time to time, they steal townsfolk for their rituals. Some they keep as lovers. After the lover goes insane, they blind the poor soul and release him back into the city. They could be involved in these necromantic ritual." He turns to one of his attendants, and mentions something regarding a map of the compasses. "Ages ago a dozen magical compasses were installed throughout the necropolis. The compasses were designed to point in the direction of the nearest powerful source of necromantic energy. They cannot detect normal undead activity, but they should point in the direction of this artifact. It has been several dozen years since they were last used. At that time, there were only five left. Hopefully they are still five left. Later today, one of my men will bring you a map of their location." He packs up his stuff, and prepares to leave the room. Notes: Scroll 1: caster level 5. Scroll 2: caster level 9 Any questions for him.

The Story Nahkt turns and snarls at the goblin. "Emotionally your are a child. Stop your whining and use your head!" The he more simply states: "I needed to know if you could finish the necromancer in fight. If you die before you get to him, that's just five more undead. The real danger is that you get to him but are unable to stop him. What happens if you make him feel fear but don't defeat him? Imagine the necromancer fleeing to the capital city and using this power in a city that has twelve-fold the number of people. Or maybe he opens a permanent gate to the negative energy plane. We need to defeat before he realizes he isn't safe in the necropolis.

The Story Raisin's soul pulls slightly out of her body, and snaps back in with thump. Raisin doesn't pass up on the opportunity to escape the esobak. Dros smashes the esobak. Ramad hits Nahkt. Then Pearl fires a beam fire into the side of the esobak. Nahkt steps back. "That's enough for now. Everyone has more important things to do. " He gestures to one of the attendants "Bring the lesser summoning scroll". Turning to the group, he adds "Take a full rest to get recovered. In two days, we will begin ritual. That will give you a little over a full day to hunt down the necromancer." Notes: Officially he hasn't surrender so you could keep fighting if you want.
