.. You hear voice ordering you to get to him. You feel like you should obey it ,you pass trough the wall of your resting place.
After leaving your own tombs you find yourself in the big chamber, filled with gloom purple light. Three hooded figures look at you from their sliver circles as you enter the room. But your eyes are focused on something else: The book in the room center. You can clearly hear the call of the netherworld coming from it's pages, it was that book that brought you back. You can almost feel the sea of souls that the tome is opened to. One of the men turn toward you and speak: "You are now under our control, we brought you back and we can send you there again if you fail. Your first task is to secure the entrance to the crypt while we finish the ritual. Go now!"
Somehow you don't feel obliged to do it. Purple light in the chamber is getting brighter, and you can hear distant screams of agony coming from the book. You all suddenly remember your own stay in netherworld, and know that the gate opened by the book will collapse if they will try to force more souls back into this world.But you don't know what will be the effect of it.
