A Meeting with a Deathling
Type of Missve: unknown
Greetings, everyone. On a whim I decided to pay the city of Paradise a visit two days
Date: unknwon Responses: yes, included ago, and found something alarming to me. Nero had been totally insenate for over a week before I arrived. I cast a Vision to see what had happened and saw a pentagram superimposed over a map of our Realms, the pentagram was made of lines of power. One point of the star was in Northern Paradise, one North of Folkestone, one on the coast off Rathkeale, one near Verai and one southwest of the Mountain of power. Some force was pushing along the lines of this pentagram from the point near Rathkeale to the one in Northern Paradise. My view shifted in and I saw a man who looked very much like Nero, but covered in ice. I believe he was Tom Rime, the Ice Mage. He dropped dead with a very surprised look on his face. At that same moment, I also saw Nero himself, up a tree and about to open a bag of food, suddenly drop limp. No one around Paradise whom I spoke with at that point knew what was going on, so I decided to do some more investigating via spellwork.I cast a Fortune Tell, asking if perhaps healing the man in my Vision would bring Nero back to himself. I interpreted the results as saying that this might help, a gift of life perhaps, however there was an obstruction -- probably meaning that I could do nothing about it at the present time. While I was going over my notes, a man appeard in the room, another person looking disturbingly like Nero. He looked extremely pale, almost lifeless. He was wearing simple black clothes, and a white and black cloth tied as a sash. Tucked in his belt was a large, silvery-white sickle, which looked very clean and quite sharp. He said he was a messenger, and at times and apprentice orracle, but never gave me his name. He let me know that Nero was only 'alive' because someone had given him a Potion of Raise Dead, but something was still not right. I cast another Vision to see what needed to be done to fix the situation, I saw the dead body of Tom Rime, and standing next to it a sort of ghost of himself. The Vision pulled out and the ghost and body were on one side of a giant set of scales. On the other side, there was Nero in his bed unmoving. At that point, the messenger said in an odd tone, "Balance must be achieved -- it must be satisfied." Balance, however, has many incarnations. Balance can be sameness on both sides, or opposites, or parallels. This was something I can not effect while I stay in Paradise, but I feel that I should stay here at this time. While we were discussing the situation further, his voice changed again and he said, "Five points are contested. Five goddesses watch, carefully, carefully. Are the Rules being broken? Possibly, possibly." I cast more spells and communicated with the goddess, Luna. She told me that "One balance has been brought into place. Another balance must replace it, to undo what is done. If you wish to help satisfy Balance, then make sure the information you have gathered travels to Balance, when the apprentice of Ice summons the heroes of the Realms to his home ten days hence." (This was two days ago). And so, I send this out to everyone. I will be unable to meet folks wherever Balance is, unfortunately, but I could send this information. The messenger said he would be there. It is my belief we can trust him. Please use this information wisely. -Scribe Metron Cole Tir'ntoc'lin Dragonsvalley ---------- Mister Dragon guys... and everybody else...
