JesterMilk 81 Share Posted April 29 (edited) A Lich in Petra Date: The 5th of the Amber Cold, 1974 Four Saints Days ago, amidst the hallowed halls of diplomacy, I found myself in deep discourse with Cardinal Rhosyn. Our conversation delved into the intricacies of an agreement between Petra and the revered Order of Saint Jude for the purpose of testing. As our meeting drew to a close, Holy Ser Godefroy awaited me outside the Petran Monastery, a steadfast companion in our journey. Together, we traversed the cobblestone streets of the city. Our destination was none other than the esteemed Knight Captain Theoderic von Theonus, a stalwart defender of the realm. Rumors had reached our ears regarding the affable bartender of a quaint tavern nestled within Petra's heart. Whispers spoke of his cure at the hands of one of the Pontiff’s trusted alchemists, dispelling the vampiric affliction that once plagued him. With prudence as our compass, we deemed it wise to commence our testing regimen within the city, beginning with one whose status was assuredly negative. Under the watchful gaze of Theoderic von Theonus, we subjected the blonde elf to the basic darkspawn tests. The Aurum test yielded promising results, yet it was the salt test that unraveled the truth. His blood would sizzle upon salt being introduced to his open wound. In a flurry, he sought refuge within his cellar, but as he would exit it, he was swiftly apprehended and escorted to the sanctuary of the Monastery. Ser Atticus, the grand speaker of Petra, and I deliberated upon the enigma before us. It was determined that the alchemist responsible for the elf's cure possessed adequate knowledge of the alchemical arts. With the weight of authority bestowed upon me, I solemnly accepted the duty of executing the elven vampire. A tempest of battle ensued, where crimson magic crackled in the air, emanating from a sinister cane clenched within the vampire’s grasp. Today, as the sun rises anew, heralding the dawn of a fresh chapter, two valiant souls have pledged their allegiance to the Order of Saint Jude. Their inaugural task led them to Petra, where they discovered the elff—resilient, unyielding, and steadfast in his stewardship of the tavern.
