Hello Hunters
We thought it was time you got some more hands on experience with the foes that you will encounter during your travels. So I went ahead and made kindly asked one of the skeletal mages to demonstrate their signature move.
A perk of them being undead is that they can do so for ever and ever, and I promised this one that as long as he doesn’t stop what he is doing I won’t break any more of its bones. Make sure you study its moves, you have all the time you need, no pressure, on you at least.
If I remember correctly, these days my memories are a little hazy for whatever reason, I showed you how to practice your sword swinging skills. Well our valiant guild member, Tok has been practicing hard, he is still not there yet but I see great potential in him. This should inspire all of you to do the same!
Speaking of Guild members I came across yet another suitable member for the Guild of Deadhunters and I have to admit that the Voice really does seem to have a knack for identifying great people because the moment I saw him I felt like I was seeing my young self, back in the day. On that rainy evening I was standing atop a beast I’ve just slain, the taste of victory was fresh in my mouth and I felt like I was ready to take on another horde of those things. While I was gazing at my enemies I felt the fear creep up their spines and they soon turned tails and ran far-far away. This is how I managed to chase away some stray dogs that wanted to grab a bite of the chicken wings I just stole, when I was out playing in the slums one day, during my youthful days.
That said his name is Nex Fentrius, and according to him he comes from an ancient noble family, not that it’s anything to write home about. However, he no longer keeps in touch with them so they won’t be supporting the Guild or any of its members, not even the Guildmaster… He also mentioned something about the Krezula, which is the name of a bloodthirsty group of scoundrels, but I believe I just misheard him. How could such a person be a match for this esteemed and well-mannered Guild of mine...
I have never been wrong in my decisions before, just things sometimes take a turn for the unexpected like when I went into that abandoned crypt, which was sealed with six locks and two hexes and had no plants near its vicinity. Surprisingly, there were some necromancers inside performing some grand summoning. Unfortunately, after I demonstrated how to conjure real hexes on one of them, they chose to flee and then it truly became an abandoned crypt.
The necromancers are an interesting bunch and I believe Master Zela has some knowledge that he needs to share with you so please try to endure. I actually used to make special transactions with them before this whole Dead Plague issue started, they were always quite mysterious and unfriendly.
The artisan has been hard at work these days and more and more peculiar magics or whatnot leave his hole workshop. There was this strange trinket that made spikes come out of the ground near it and it nearly skewered the practicing skeleton, fortunately Nex was right on time and stopped it from happening.
Well our good friend is still making sword slashes and the green flickering is starting to strain my eyes so I think he needs to rest a little now. Anyways things are getting livelier here and I’ve hardly heard the Voice speak to me lately, maybe it realized how futile its attempts to influence my thoughts are...
