Open on wiki ↗
event  Palisade ·  Events (all zones)
You arrive at a palisade and find a couple of ratmen standing by some magical torches. One of them says: "Interesting... If you are here, it means you have entered through the crack and defeated the dead. You see, I was one of the king's advisors... One of his rings saved him from freezing and then he managed to unfreeze some of us. But soon after, he made a deal with a dracomancer named Fred, and betrayed us all... Well, that doesn't matter anymore. Thanks to you, we can go out. Can I do something for you?"

(Ratman) "Fred, offered the king a lot of elven jewelry, as well as a scepter to control the dead. In exchange, the dracomancers would be free to move through the sewers and reanimate our people. The king had become very sadistic since he learned dark magic. He liked to make dark deals with his own people... A word of advice, if the king offers you a deal. Know that he doesn't need to extract your vitality to complete his corruption magic." You get: XP 70 Zek allows for both outcomes.
