Hello Hunters!
We are truly sorry for not writing to you all sooner, however for once we had good reason not to. You wouldn’t believe what happened to us but we will still tell you! So as you all know from the last time we came across some peculiar fellows that gave us a bunch of magical weapons. Admittedly, the whole process seemed a very little fishy but we thought it was just a lucky twist of fate that we ended up with the weapons. Well, it turns out that it indeed was a twist of fate albeit not a lucky one.
Only a day after our „benefactors” left we started to feel very strange, we had to scratch the back of our heads with our pinkies every eleventh minute of an hour and this was just the beginning! All sorts of nefarious deeds were required of us by a strange voice that echoed through our heads, please note that this didn’t seem too intriguing at first since we hear various types of voices all the time be it within or outside our heads.
So the bizarre voice asked us quite persistently to amass all sorts of magical artifacts in order to revive the legendary magic squirrel hunter beast slayer or whatever, it’s not as if we really paid attention. However, it dawned on us that if we didn’t want to continue persisting in such a manner we had to either do what the voice wanted or get rid of it somehow.
After some intensive detective labor we came to the realization that the voice appeared after we received the gracious gift from those haggard looking fellows. We thought maybe they were tired of the nagging voice and were willing to part with the treasures in order to escape, but of course this is all conjecture from our part. Given that, were we in the same situation, we would by no means let go of the weapons for free.
Therefore, we decided to seek help from the local expert on curses, old hag great grandmother Drusilla, who herself due to a peculiar curse is unable to let go of her life and has been around for a couple hundred years, at least judging by her appearance. We haven’t mustered the courage to actually pose her a question about age, who would want to be on bad terms with an old woman specialized in curses.
Anyways, after consulting with her and promising to deliver several skeletal and zombified corpses as well as hunting down a vampire, talk about hypocrisy, we managed to barter for a cure. All we needed to do is ignore the sound, it was so easy all along and we just couldn’t think of this course of action.
Since then we have been feeling much better and more relaxed, also we decided to scavenge the surrounding ruins for any magical artifacts for no particular reason. Our instincts were not bad given that we found some nice staffs and even more scepters!
On another note this time we want to truly deepen your knowledge of the dead horde so we brought you two complete pages from the Guild Codex written by our good friend and teacher Azar Zela. Please read it attentively and try to enjoy as much as possible.
Lastly, the craftsman has not stopped sending us his records so here is another one:
I would love to continue but I feel that it’s time I looked for more magical weaponry, until next time!
