Pukaal the Archlich

[Osa]

[HC] Washteeha walks in the HC tower..

I need to speak to Sayuri..

Milady, there is much evil about Peridotia... Qunin ( marus PC), Sir Parex and myself where seeing all kinds of evil. James the merchant in the inn looks like a 20 foot tall demonic skeleton. Everyone is convinced we are nuts. We where questioning our own sanity. Parex, went to research the reason behind why only Peri is effected ( parex had to leave).

We followed strange happenings doors opening and shutting on their own. To the gate heading toward North Peri farm lands. All these strange signs lead us to the house next to the Crafter's guild.

We walked into a hornets nest full of evil of all kinds.

much fighting took place throughout this house.

When we entered the basement my hairs on the back of my neck stood up.

There he was. Pukaal an Archlich. Qunin and I could not defeat him alone.. Qunin received a letter while I was begging Cthorna to help us.

I was on the hill by the bank when Qunin and I read the inscription next to the marker..

It marks the very spot where Cthorna defeated this same Archlich Pukaal before.

The note Qunin received said that Pukaal has returned.

Milady we will need all the Holy Crusaders, and even Cthorna if we're to rid Peridotia of this evil.

Yours in Service

[Edohvi]

A cloaked figure steps of the ship and onto the grassy landing of Selune's Isle. He reaches into the inner pocket of his cloak and takes out a handwritten missive. He reads over the archaic writing confirming to himself that only the eyes of the intended can make out the message. Once he is assured, the traveler walks over to the golem guard and gives his request....

"I am aware that none but few may enter the gates here. I have need for you to take this parchment to the Guardian of this Isle and quickly. He will understand and know what is being asked of him..."

The traveler turns toward the cliff and walks over to cast his gaze across the open sea.

"I gather why you have your home here, brother. The serenity is breath taking but there is great need..." he says aloud to no one.

Just behind the gates, not a stones throw away, elven ears catch the words off the wind... "Qarin?" ...was the name whispered.

//I am continuing this quest in about 30 mins, 7:15 pm PST.

[Badwater]

We did finish this quest for now. Thanks to Edohvi, mysterling, and Laslo! It was great fun!

Now Peri is back to normal. Or is it.....

[Osa]

Qarin, Parex and myself went to speak to Cthrona about Pukaal. Cthrona informed us to banish Pukaal we needed a stone of power. Parex said he know of someone if he was in. The three of us travel far to a place I have yet to see before. Lush trees, flowers, water everywhere the eye could see. Then we came upon this castle, I had only assumed it belonged to a king. Upon entering the castle, we where greeted by a rather handsome Elven man. He introduced himself as Aelos. As we walked through out this castle I could not but be in awe of how grand of a castle it was. I had to assume such a place had to be lonely. Aelos told me I had to meet Osa, the lady of the castle.
Parex was entrusted with the Stone of power that Aelos had.

We went back to Peri to take on Pukaal. We fought, then out of no where this Aelos appeared and helped us fight. We surely would of perished without him.

We banished Pukaal for the now. Seems these demi lichs and archliches are turning up in different places.

Once the Archlich Pukaal was dead we saw the villagers of Peri as they have always been. I am wondering if we where not hexed to see what we did and it was merely an illusion.

Sincerely in Service of the HC.
