"There is a portal opening near the graveyard," Cain told the two as he opened a glowing portal. "It will take you back and forth form the plains to the encampment. Use it to make your travel shorter." Cain paused for a minute, "Watch out for the rogues there, they will no doubt try and trick you, but remember Blood Raven has corrupted them beyond all human help. Nystak make full use of your spells."
The two adventures stepped through the portal, and found themselves on the plains. Weapons in hand they started off to the east, searching for the graveyards.
"Stop here Tarvin, there are several corpses here, I can raise my skeletons from them, they are fresh," he stopped. "We have not been out here, what could have killed them? These beasts never attack eachother."
"Perhaps there is another out here," Tarvin replied. "In any case, raise your skeletons, and we will continue on."
As Nystak started chanted his spells, the corpses of two slain beasts started to quiver. Two more minutes of chanting, the two corpses split open, and a skeleton arose from each one. "The more spells I cast, the better I am with my magic." Nystak then explained, "Now we have two skeletons at our disposal."
Tarvin looked at them, "Let's just hope they last long-"
"SHUT UP, or you'll curse them again," Nystak immediately exclaimed, not allowing Tarvin to finish.
Tarvin snickered and moved on to the east farther. Looking back Nystak was keeping a close trail, and his raised skeletons were wandering close at his side.
"What is that smell? Smells like burning corpses," Tarvin asked knowing he wouldn't receive an answer.
He did however heard an explosion, and could see fire in the distance. "Well, we are about to find out," he said and picked up his pace.
As they rushed ahead, they could see a women in the middle of casting a spell. As she was doing this three corrupt rogues were charging her with lances in hand.
Suddenly one fell dead, with several knives dug in her body. "Your death will be a quick one rogues," he exclaimed and rushed up to fight melee with the next two.
Suddenly a fire bolt flew from the women's staff, directly into one of the rogues. On contact, it exploded killing the second rogue in the firey explosion. Tarvin was surprised at the site, and tripped over a small rock.
The women just now saw the two coming from behind her, and readied herself. "Who are you, and what do you want here?" she asked.
Standing up Tarvin replied. " I am Tarvin, and this is Nystak. I assure you we mean you no harm. We saw you in danger and came to your aid, but apparantly you did not need it."
She looked around and saw the third rogue dead, "I did not see that one, I thank you." She paused, and looked the two over, and then noticed the skeletons. "You must be a necromancer, are you not?"
"Indeed I am. Necromancer of summons and bone. May I know your name? Surely you are a sorcerer of fire," he implied.
"I am Syzivsk, sorcerer of fire and cold." She looked over at Tarvin and continued, "You are a barbarian no doubt. Dual wielder like Madawc the great."
Surprised a lowly sorcerer knew of his father, Tarvin quickly replied, "Madawc was my father. We can talk more later, we have a quest to complete. Come along, I am sure you will be of help."
As they walked through the plains, Nystak told Syzivsk of their quest for Blood Raven.
