Title: A Tale by Solonthkar

Author: Solonthkar

I thought I should hurry out of here before he could bring in his reenforcements. I quickly grabbed the bag which seemed to contain some scrolls and reflected on the things which just happened a few seconds ago.

If I had not interrupted his summoning spell I would surely have shared the same fate as the one in the casket. Which made me think and I hurried over to the casket to see if there was any hope or anything I could do. But the stench was so horrid as I came near the metal thing that I stopped to think what to do next.

I did raise my jug of beer to refresh my makeshift smell protection and to wet my dry lips at the same time. The jug was empty before I found the courage to look inside the iron maiden. I was surprised that I didst only find a heap af ash as the still warm halves parted. I could do nothing for this poor soul and spoke a quick prayer to the gods on his behalf.

I turned to quickly leave this ugly place but while I turned a gleaming piece inside the ashes caught mine attention. I took a closer look and found a ring which seemed to be made of gold. As I took it out of the ashes I beheld a black stone which seemed to spread darkness around like a diamond spreads the light.

I took the ring and as I heard the gallop of approaching horses I recalled back to the Empath Abbey. As I blacked out from the spell I could swear that I didst seem some black horsemen approaching but it could have been my imagination or a trick of light.

I tried to find the wise sage of Yew but I could not find him. So I write this letter to you, dear mayor, so that you might find him so that he can go ahead and identify this ring for me for all mine prior efforts had failed to satisfy me curiosity as to the power of the ring.

Please give word to me if thou didst find the Sage and I will come to thee with this ring. I keep the ring locked away in a box inlayed with lead to seal off any dark influences or magical radiation. And I gave the ancient scrolls which I found in the bag to a scholar friend of mine but he could not decrypt the language except for the mentioning of a Yewel of Krossar or the like... Maybe you have better luck with these scrolls as well.
