The Accordlands

For Albrecht's sake, what is the world coming to when evil is going after evil?

After a long "sleep" we headed to dragon's keep and obegard teleported us to stoneyvale. Obegard acted as the salesperson, which was pretty hilarious, since he's not usually the talking type. Maybe when peace is restored throughout the land he should open a shop. Start his own line of magical items. Maybe a series of Omnibus's. We weren't able to sell everything, and I need to sell a few things and get a few items.... there's a beautiful kama that I have had my eye on.

But then Obegard started to get nightmares of a village whos residents were being slaughtered, pulled from their houses. We weren't sure if it had happened, was a premonition, or a trap. He couldn't sleep well or study his spells, so we knew that these had been sent, but by who is the question. But on the chance that innocent people were in danger we had to go and help.

We get to the town, and it appears that obegard may have been seeing events as or right after they happened. There were few bodies left, but the ones that were, they were left shredded beyond recognition. I only hope that they have left the remaining villagers alive, not killed them in the course of evil necromantic experiments. We followed the tracks of the undead and their cage to a bone fortress that radiated with evil magic. We entered and found a vampire who didn't seem to know that we were coming. After we slew the abomination, we went towards where the vampire's gaseous corpse was, but ran into a surprise elven guest -- the assasin who terrorized Ghostwood during the peace talks and said that there would be no peace. He said that if we continued to mettle in the affairs of the medusan lords, we would be considered a threat and may be dealt with. Then he killed Obegard with a single strike from a dagger. He somehow then returned his life, strangely enough. While obegard is still not evil, I fear that some presence may linger inside him, as only evil magics could do something like that.

But first, we must find the villagers and rescue them.

The crazy thing is, who sent those dreams? why? What kind of dagger can take and give life? What changes could it have left on Obegard?
