Joe Fires upon the chandelier, and it falls to the ground, crushing the desk, you rip a sizable chunk from it

Rick looks around for any secret entrances, but he sees little of note in the newfound darkness, the masonry of this area is finer this deep down, but there remains flaws in a spot or two. there may still be a secret entrance somewhere.

You show him the note, but are informed that he read it himself before bringing it to his father.

Spoiler: Quidives continues reading, the script is hasty with smudges, it is dated about two month after the second entry. (click to show/hide)

Entry #3: This can't be, it wasn't supposed to happen like this, the ritual was perfect, flawless even, I know too much about the folly of hubris to assume i would do this perfectly, of course, but I made sure, for weeks I meticulously checked every ingredient, every mark in the ritual, and still this happened, they are all dead. No. If they were dead, I might not wish that I myself was.  The archmages have found out that there is a new necromancer, the spell seemed to almost broadcast my power to any fool with a sense of magic, roving groups of guards have been patrolling the former village, lead by Our king and the esteemed Lord winter, i caught glimpses of them in some kind of trance that has taken over my sleeping hours, all of the undead that spell created, their shells form an arch through which power flows, I can no longer truly sleep with all of this power. there has to be something, some way to fix this, but for now all I can do is escape. Luckily the stigma and propaganda against the necromantic arts leads most to believe necromancers to be bloodthirsty monsters with no regard to stealth or subtlety, I may be able to fix all of this, somehow. I just need time.

"Hey guys, stuff! I found stuff in this book!

Spoiler: Quidives shouts as she reaches the interesting parts of this journal (click to show/hide)

Entry #4: I have managed to acquire some sundries from the town before my departure, along with finding a cave in a forest a few miles south of Musclecity, my only memento's being the photos of my loved ones, I pray it is enough to keep me sane in the face of this overwhelming power, if I am to be strong enough to save them I would need to slip into the garb of all the necromancers before me, to search for the means of restoring true life, which means I will need books, equipment, and a means of protecting myself. I remember hearing of a museum in Muscle city that had an artifact that generated shadows, if I can steal it, it might help to jump start my magical energies, but it will require planning, and unfortunately, it will require undead, I have killed and reanimated a number of digging beetles, tiny creatures with a powerful mandible, they will make good spies for me to map out the city and the museum's security.

Entry #5: My theft was a resounding success, the lamp of shadows is in my possession, I had also stolen some manuscripts that detail the Musclecity wizards testing of it's properties, it should be child's play to make use of it now. According to the papers, the lamp produces a smoky substance that is comprised mainly of pure shadow energy, and that it was discovered less than a year after the dark one's suicide, so it can only be assumed that it is one of "The many", it makes no difference to me however, as to what it's origins were, all that matters now is that i have a source of power, I should be able to drain the negative energies from the distilled darkness, Allowing me a much better rate of regeneration to my mana system. I doubt i will be able to do anything quite as notable as that theft for quite a while, the Archmages of that city are on high alert, though they have no idea as to who stole it, this hopefully means that the royal guard don't know where I am either.

She decides to just read entries automatically while the rest of the party do things.

"I like you guys, I really do, which is why I haven't cast Mass Consecrate while you still have undead friends in my tomb, but might I suggest you take your book club topside, so I can clean this place up a bit?"

Ask the pumpkin about secret entrances is this room.

Meanwhile, Evimeria, you take a closer look at that wall. Who knows, we might just get LUCKY!

[Shadestyle]

Spoiler: Quidives reads another entry while you convince Evimeria to give searching a shot (click to show/hide)

Entry #6: Yes, this power is serving me well, already i have more than enough power to do the most basic things, such as creating intense fire and moving large stones, but without a means of learning how magic works, I will be very limited, from what very little I can glean from spying on the mage guild, there are several schools of magic, and devoting to one of them would increase a magicions potential exponentially as compared to learning general magic, I have chosen to pursue geomancy, (perhaps an arbitrary choice until I can actually learn anything about it) Geomancy would allow me to craft golems and move great swaths of earth, a must for obtaining corpses and putting actual intelligence into anything I create. I cannot afford just yet to go searching for books on magic while the magi are on high alert, but there may be a means of sneaking in right under their nose. After all, who would expect an apprentice earth mage to be stealing Artifacts of darkness or practicing necromancy?

Evimeria gives searching a try, pressing down a brick by accident while feeling the walls, before you get a chance to ask Vinebone about any secret entrances.

She leveled up, that's it.

The wall slides down, revealing a hidden room.

You feel a strange feeling that isn't quite there, looking at the fountain and the crack in the wall, letting in a gentle light.

"This must be what he was looking for down here."

Whoever interacts with this fountain will unlock some part of their destiny.

Who does so?

The sun begins to set, preparing for a nap.

[Karkov]

Kirek's our main protagonist, and our highest leveled character, so I'll go with the cliche and Vote for Kirek.

[Worldmaster27]

Yes, Kirek.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Evimeria. She found it and more god potential is always good. Can Kirek carry other people with those wings of his?

[Arcvasti]

Kirek. He, as a being of pure darkness, seems linked to the "Dark One" that died and created The Many that we sort of seem to be looking for. His destiny is probably more interesting. Plus he's our first character and deserves additional love.

[~Neri]

Kirek. He, as a being of pure darkness, seems linked to the "Dark One" that died and created The Many that we sort of seem to be looking for. His destiny is probably more interesting. Plus he's our first character and deserves additional love.

He's the main protagonist anyways. Er'body else is just a side character.

Then again, Evimeria is the Goddess of Luck, and she's kinda on our side?

Voting Evimeria.

You awaken in Macguffin castle's infirmary, With an absolutely splitting headache.

"What happened?"

It was -crazy-! you started mumbling something under your breath and when you walked over into that light, you caught on fire!, why if that little slime of yours wasn't there-"

"Quidives, please, give him some room, do you remember anything Kirek?"

"Something, I am not sure what, it was like someone knocked my flat on my ass and held me there, I heard voices, but i can't remember exactly what they were saying."

"You were out for a whole day! And... I'm sorry about your coat, It got pretty burnt in the fire."

Later on through the day, you recover some small amount of your strength and find out what happened, Apparently they took you all the way to the infirmary before going BACK to the tomb and recovering the rest of that chandelier, which was promptly sold, the castle's crap storage also got a massive renovation, with Completely foolproof enchantments, And your undead followers have started a very small expansion to Macguffin town, which the King has graciously allowed you to have and expand. The king's archmages have gone absolutely ballistic over the supposedly illegal necromantic tomes, apparently the lich was developing significantly more benign spells of great value, which were wrote in the margins. Along with this, the royal CSI have determined that the first place to search for Winter would be the royal city of Lodestone, in Goddess Road. Currently they are working on getting approval for you, one agent, and your party to travel there legally, it will take about three months. or several turns in timeskip time.

I have already learned a great deal of Geomancy, and it really is great fun, but quite a bit of work as well, I will have to cut this entry short, I'm learning about crystal formation! But I must nonetheless remember my purpose here, To become powerful enough to bring her back.
