Dicing with Death Episode 098

Monday, 1509-08-08
Georg wakes up restrained on a rack in a 15' across circle room of a tower. The Amulet of Malkis is missing, as is all of Georg's things except is Robes, Shoes and Ring of Protection. Squatting in one corner of the room is a Mongrelman, Butch, who heads up some stairs when he sees Georg has waken.

Georg disappears into a inter-dimensional pocket. Inside the inter-dimensional space, Georg figures out he was been affected by some sort of Mind Melding spell, where he and the Troll merged. He has hazy memory of running though the woods and crashing though branches before being hit by a Color Spray spell. Georg is covered in small cuts and bruises and his stoneskin is gone.

Georg panics, having lost the Amulet, and waits in the inter-dimensional space for an hour until the spells expires and returns to reality. Butch is back in the room and is startled. Georg grabs a nearby tall candle stick as a makeshift Quarterstaff. Butch heads up the stairs again. Georg looks out the window and sees he is on the 2nd Floor of a tower and there is just forest outside around him.

Georg looks at the titles of the books in the bookshelf. Most the books are in common, some are in the language of magic. Georg is interrupted by the owner of the tower, Serena the Conjurer, a Human Woman (5'8" average build, mid 30's, long back hair, brown eyes, clear complexion, long green skirt of linen, blue silk blouse underneath a stained leather apron). Serena says she first found Georg incomprehensible, trying to break down her door, and Georg's things had been left behind in the woods, but her minions had brought them to the tower. he tower itself is North East of the Wisp Wood.

Serena says she knows that he is The Wrath of the Tetherwilds, and shows the Amulet of Malkis at the end of a stick, refusing to touch it herself. Georg talks down to Serene, and she casts Reverse Gravity on him, a spell Georg is too low a level to learn. She does not want to be involved with in whatever Demon Magic Georg is doing, and just wants him to take his things and go, and casts a Geas on him to ever return.

Georg is given back the Amulet. Georg gets his other belonging and leaves the tower, escorted by 2 of Serene's Mongrelmen servants to make sure that Georg leaves. Georg finds that his ring of truth was not returned to him. The Mongrelmen with Georg say they didn't see the ring, so Georg retraces his steps, looking for it.
