  • Название: Caracron bad news
  • Сообщение: A message from the Council arrives. You get the order to interrupt the test and come to the great assembly hall immediatly. Whatґs going on? you ask your good friend Bahlo, an apprentice mage like you, while you elbow your way into the overcrowded building. Bad news. Scatvall was attacked by... he lowers his voice ...undead forces, it is said. Noone can say where they came from, and I wonder... The four arch mages enter, and it gets quiet. Thorwai speaks
  • Название: Caracron - aufbruch
  • Сообщение: You continue with the test, but your mind repeately drifts back to Thorwaiґs words. As usual, the council hasnґt said everything he knows of. Undead creatures... Somehow, Hrangar must have found a way to engage in worldly matters again, and that means there is well enough reason to fear serious danger for the land to come. And the wise arch mages just sit down and discuss... In the past, there had been attempts to find Hrangar and definitely break his power, but none of the brave wizards set out for this quest ever returned. Their trails were lost in the fjords to the west...
  • Название: Caracron - der aufbruch 2
  • Сообщение: As you camp under the clear caracronian firmament this night, two voices struggle in your head. Somebody MUST make a way to the kingdom again, otherwise I sense great harm to come. If noone moves, I shall go and take on this quest by myself. says voice one. O sure, Meltran, the heroic would-be skion, blows his horn and leaves to challange Hrangar, the grandmaster of the dark arts. Wake up pal, and turn to things with the appropriate size for you. says the other. This goes on for a long while, but as the day breaks you have made your decision. Everytingґs better then keeping his hands in his pockets right now. It may be crazy, but after all, itґs the test of higher intuition, and I will follow my feelings in this matter.

  • Сообщение: - Five is the Principle - This is the story of Meltran, a young apprentice mage who set out to face a superior enemy that once had sowed the seeds of discord amongst the wise wizards of Caracron. His quest took him to strange and dangerous places, bringing him grief he had never known as well as honours beyound his imagination. And this is how it all started

The dealer refuses a pair of old boots Bahlo shows him. But they have magical powers. your friend argues. My father already wore them. Thatґs how they look like. I donґt give a single penny for `magicalґ crap like this. However, you get enough gold for some more troops. You also plan to buy an old fishing-boat, for the way to Hrangar will lead you deep into the gorges of the fjords.

  • Сообщение: Thorwai is a stern master, but sometimes he tells you of things usually kept dark to the students. Once he spoke of a terrible confrontation between the council and Hrangar, an arch mage of former times. Hrangar secretly practised the forbidden art of necromancy, and the other arch mages found out that he had already organzied a counter-school to spread his foul teaching. During a great war, Hrangar was defeated, and he and his followers fled. But before the necromancer left, he used his power to block the sea-route which connected Caracron to the rest of the kingdom. Since then, the kings of Scatvall had to rely on their swords in defending the land against intruders. Up to now they did well, though the strength and knowledge of the wizards is truely missing.

  • Сообщение: You knock at the door of the hut and an old man with long hair opens. Come in, come, I just got some tea ready. Soon, you sit by a small fireplace sipping some strange smelling brew, and the man tells you his story. Apart from two birds in a cage, he lives alone. My name is Forgall. I once taught physical manipulations at the school of wizardry. My work pleased me, and my wife Mary was the most fairest woman the land had ever seen. I was a lucky man. He smiles in remembrance. We grew older, and one day I found Mary looking in the mirror, displeased. Well, all beauty must die, they say. To me you still are the loveliest girl of them all, and you will always be. I said, and I meant it. Well, thatґs nice. But I canґt bear it watching myself fade slowly. Darling please, you must use your power to return youth and fresh blood back to me! I refused, for the natural process of aging should never be stopped by magical means. Enraged, she just not wanted to realize... I know you can do it! Why do you torment me like this? You wouldnґt hesitate if you would realy care! she cried. The eremit sighes. Finally, I agreed. I prepared everything and began with the magical procedure. It was nearly done, when she suddenly yelled, fell and convulsivly crawled through the room. Then she changed indeed, but instead of lovely young Mary, a feathered creature arose. It still was the the head of my wife, but with a birds body. The creature looked in the mirror, screamed and flew out of the window. I was broken and moved to this lonely island, my kingfishers here beeing my only company. Lord, how I wish to get my Mary back... He sobbs silently. Touched by the old man`s tail, you promise to look out for his wife on your further way.

Hrangar exploits you just like everybody else who works for him. Donґt you know he even uses the dead to reach his foul aims? You better surrender and return to your normal way of life! Ha, we donґt care about his aims. Dark wizard gives us MIGHT! Without warning, the barbarian throws a magic arrow towards you, which you are barely able to dodge. He gave us chrystal beasts, and he promised wild tribes northern territory if we stop you. Lots of might, lots of drinking-cups.

I know what youґve got in mind, and I canґt approve it. I really wished you hadnґt left for this quest. But master, I feel that something evil is about to happen. Iґm sure the council has also noticed this. Itґs obvious that Hrangar has his hands in it. Why are you hiding the whole truth from the rest of us? And what is really going on? Thorwai smiles. You have always been an impatiant student with a quick mind and temper. To answer your first question

  • Сообщение: The great war had more conequences than the physical separateness of Scatvall and Caracron. your master continues. You know that the necromancer found many followers, and as they were banished, the council lost a good part of his powers, including all spells from the path of mental destruction. I guess you sense who the last arch mage of this discipline was. Hrangar... you whisper. Indeed. Did you ever wonder about the fifth chair in the assembly hall? Itґs his seat, a symbol of our lost unitiy. Suddenly the picture of the first mage starts to flicker. Mm, time runs out. Now listen

Besides, what do you think of Thorwaiґs suspicion? Who could it be? Bahlo scratches his chin. Hm... donґt know. Last term, I flunked the basic conjurings with Llud. Iґd be delighted to unmask him.

They say that trolls hide here, creatures even stronger than ogres, and twice as mean. I tell ya, these guys are no vegetarians... Besides, I read in an old manuscript something about a furious beast in the ancient mountains

  • Сообщение: Finally, you walk on scatvallian ground. If only this shadow of dark foresigns wouldnґt lay on your mind. Whatґs the story with the attacks? What about King Bantur? You already see the citiesґ towers in front, when your scouts return. Finias is still at arms. Sir, when the people noticed us, we were attacked. This must be some misunderstanding you think, and push your horse forward, eager to get behind the blur that surronds the state of the kingdom.
• Событие

  • Сообщение: The scouts were right, Finias is obviously prepared for a siege. The doors have beeen strengthened, and warriors patrol on the battlement. Irritated, you stop your horse. Hail, citizens of Finias! you shout. The wizards of Caracron finally came to the aid of the kingdom again! Open the doors and inform the king, we definitley got to talk. The captain of the guard turns to you. What do you think how dump we are? First, you come upon our land, bringing us darkness and death, and now youґve got the nerve to emerge and play the well-trusted alley of former times. But donґt think itґll be as easy this time. Banturs new counselor warned us of your coming. Our knights are just waiting for my sign to go and take revenge for your betrayal. This is some wicked play! you shout. It was Hrangar who sent the dark forces, and more of his servants are soon to come. Think it over man, you must see Iґm honest! Then another figure appears on the battlement. Sunrays fall through his rotten body, and where his face should be, you spot just a naked skull.

Iґm afraid we have no need for help and guidance any more, exspecially if the one who grants it has the blood of our wifes and children on his hands. Beat it, slave of Hrangar. Iґll ensure you wonґt get through with this! Hm, I guess we shell look after this ominous new councelor. Bahlo adds. Wonґt be surprised to find him on Hrangars payroll. Youґll do nothing magelin. the zombie interrupts him with a toneless hiss. None of the scatvallians seem to notice his true nature, and the following words come to your ears only. We brought up the whole country against you. You know, infiltrated positions, made certain people disapear... It actually were easy to convince these poor sheep from the dark intentions of Caracron once King Bantur was out of the way. So charge, but if you do, youґll no longer be a hero but a villain. Just come a little closer, I guess our brave marksmen can explain this more properly.

Tethra were right, I should have turned back. My lords, why did you let this happen..? At dawn, Bahlo comes to see you. The troops expect further orders from their leader. he says. O, do they? you reply indifferently. Your friend sighs. Everybody is shocked about the way things went. But none of our men reproaches you with it. Nor do I. Iґm no friend of big talking, heaven knows it, but sometimes it is better to cut the wound out than to let it fester. Anyway, we canґt make it unhappen, and moarning wonґt make it better. Something evil is going on here in a creeping, subtle way. We must find out about it, or everything is truely in vain, like that fleshless bastard at the nucleus predicted, remember? I canґt believe youґd like him to be right. No, I wouldnґt. Now it is your turn sighing. Youґre right, my friend. But I prey that in the end, this madness turns out to bring some good.

You ignite your wand, lift it to the bared window and peer inside. A figure wraped in rags which once could have been expensive clothing squeezes itself in a distant corner of the cell, covering his face from the sudden light. Go away! the man coughs in an ineffective attempt to clear his voice. You took my throne, my pride and my freedom, now let me await the end in peace.

You consider to tell Thorwai about the strange figure you met at the lighthouse, but something keeps you from doing it.

To be honest, we nearly abandoned hope that weґd ever do. He laughs cheerfully. Tethra the Brief, master of arcane guidance and shelter, approaches you. Well done. The Lords obviously were with you.

The king resides in Gorias, like he always did. Thanks to his bravery and the cleverness of the new counselor by his side, we have beaten you the first time. Anger overcomes his fear as he adds

  • Сообщение: While Bantur recoveres his legs, you describe the king how Scatvall was infiltrated by Hrangars minions. So an undead scarecrow took my place, accompanied by this new councelor you mentioned. I shall call the necromancer to account for this. But first, you must know how I ended up here in my own prison. Actually, there isnґt much to tell. Many weeks ago, I was hunting in the woods near Falias. I left my party while I followed a gorgeous deer deeper into the forest. On a clearing, the deer suddenly stopped, turned around, and changed... into a death knight. My arrow killed him, but more of them came out between the trees. I was overcome and secretly brought to the oubliettes. Banturs face shows suppressed wrath while he is speaking. Together you make plans to drive Hrangars servants out of the country again.

  • Сообщение: You prepare to enter the Pillars of Scatvall, when three wizards enter the camp. Itґs Thorwai, Tethra and Llud. We come here with one eye crying and the other laughing. starts Tethra. We are weeping for the countless scatvallians which died in the threads of Hrangarґs intrigue. And we bemoan the double game of the master of physical manipulation. He fooled us with a perfect clone of himself. Only the lords know how long the real Govanon has already left us. This second betrayal in the history of the council strikes us badly, for now there are two deserted chairs in the great assembly hall, and two paths of magic lie fallow. During the last words, you notice Thorwaiґs searching look upon you. And we are glad, Tethra goes on, ...because you won a battle we now regard as a necessary evil. None of us would have done light-heartedly what you have done, Meltran. We are grateful you took this burdon on your shoulders. Like one man, the three wizards bow their heads before you. You feel a little shy because of this respectful gesture. Suddenly, something comes to your mind. While sailing in the fjords, I met with an old wizard named Forgall. He once was a master of physical manipulation, who quit his duty because of, er, private difficulties... Well, the whole story doesnґt matter right now, but I guess he is better these days. You could ask him wether he is willing to teach again. He is an old man, but undoubtedly a master of his art. All the three of us are a little advanced in years. remarks Llud ironically, stroking his long, white beard. The council traditionally is a senior team. I remember Forgall well. This is a brilliant thought. I personally will go and try to convince the old crank that he still has got work to do. Than Thorwai speaks. You surprise us once more, Meltran. Now the plan we made is even more promising. Provided Forgall agrees, there is one more seat to fill in the circle of the council. Too many years it is empty yet, but through the will of the lords we now have someone in our midst who fullfills all requirements

In the simple furnished interior you see an elderly woman stiring in a large kettle upon the fireplace. She throws some herbs in it and loughs hoarsely as her brew bubbles and squirts. Cobweb and slime, mandrakes and rime! Green mould and dew, stir up the stew! And of course... some brandy. She takes a gulp out of a bulgy bottle and spits into the fire, causing a blast flame. And now, she croakes without turning around, stop peeping at an old frump like me and come in, lad, I donґt bite. Blushing, you climb down and enter. I didnґt meant to spy on you. you start. But itґs a rough country... Indeed, it is. I donґt get visitors very often. You must be the young wizard the north wind whispers of, the one who foolishly seeks the confrontation with Hrangar. I am Meltran. you say, slightly huffed. And to whom have I the pleasure of speaking? Iґm... a refugee. Take some soup, you must be hungry. I, er, feel pretty stuffed, thank you. Just had some snack... Fine. Once I was Megaira, patroness of Scatvall, now I am just an old woman, good enough to scare some stinking swine-riders. I was forced to leave the pillars of Scatvall when Hrangar came and drawed that ancient sword you already heared of. I can tell that you will need special equipment to stand against the necromancer. Lord Ogmios recently buries himself in studies concerning the nature of Hrangarґs blade and how to encounter it properly. He has found out about an ancient relic which might help, but procuring it from the debths of the past exceeds the powers of a single lord. Bring me two specimen of the kind that roamed Scatvall during the dawn of history, and I will regain some of my strength and be able to support Lord Ogmios on this task.

Before you can get hold of him he plunges into the water, and is dragged along by the current. What could have frightened them this much? you think, gazing curiously at the forest.

Some instants later, the first creature lands on the street before you. There is someone sitting on it, a person dressed in the blue robes of an arch mage. You recognize Govanon, the master of physical manipulations. Itґs so good to see you again, young wizard. Iґd like to pay my personal respect to you. Many victories decorate your way, though I guess not all of them really pleased you. However, the end of your tiny invasion has finally come. To be honest, I fear that this end will be brought up by myself. As a counselor of Scatvall it is my duty to deal with intruders. You were a bright student, a pitty you had to poke your nose into things not of your concern. I didnґt gave up the thought that Thorwai might has been wrong. you say. The traitor would certainly be a person of foul spirit, but wouldnґt hold a position of an arch mage. Why? What mean kind of promise the necromancer made you in return for your shameless betrayal? You have no idea what youґre talking about. The dark arts offer numerous virtues once you delve deeper into their secrets. For example, immortality. Hrangar found a way to elude the inherent law of death. Ah, there are so many benefits in participating in his knowledge... To bad I feel somewhat tired of talking. Teaching you was quite stimulating, killing you will be an inspiration. Govanon shouts a word of might, causing most of the dragons to scream with pain, while spasms are running all over their bodies. Than they start to change, and soon, an army of various beasts takes the offensive.

  • Сообщение: Side by side with your old mentor, you walk back towards the school. Over and over again, Thorwai asks you to describe your stay at the pillars of Caracron. We certainly knew this land has strong roots, but none of us has ever discovered them before you did. That clearing of enlightment you mentioned... Legend says it bears a hidden power, the core of Ogmiosґmight... Hm... I found both there, knowlegde and gold, but I havenґt noticed any of such power... Well, itґs just a myth, and a rather strange one, too. According to it, only a fool is able to reveal the might burried at that place... Youґd like to ask Thorwai if he got news concerning the traitor, but standing in the center of interest, you canґt talk in privat right know. The chrystal mirror hasnґt shown us any signs of necromantic activity lately. Thorwai goes on. Yet, we definitley shouldnґt underestimate the dangers on your path. It would be wise to strengthen your ranks before heading towards the wastelands.

THE PILLARS OF CARACRON ARE MERELEY OF SPIRITUAL KIND. STRONG AND MIGHTY INDEED, BUT INVISIBLE UNTIL ONE HAS REACHED PURE SERENITY AND FINAL CONTEMPLATION. Uh, I See... Well, good-bye than. With a smile, Ogmios pulls the hood back over is head. Once again, well met!

Then you start to intone them one after the other. Nothing happens. Finally you strike the gate with your staff. Edro, edro! Open, open! Bahlo, who stood a little aside, turns to you.

These days, I exclusively devote myself to my studies at the Library of Enlightment. That is, if Lord Ogmios doesnґt ask me to think of a suitable entrance for his realm. What do you mean? Lord Ogmios, the patron of Caracron...? Of course. The eternal chronicler himself. He watches your moves since months, and without anticipating what he will tell you personally I can say that weґre very glad you made it this far. Thus you may learn and prepare for the dangers to come. You digest this for a moment. Tell me, how long you already live down here? I hau..., er, roam here for 800 years now, though living is not quite the appropriate word. It just didnґt came to your mind earlier, but in some way, professor Tjum looks quite pale and transparent - through his silhouette, you see Bahlo leaning against the rail.

And we didnґt come for idol conversation with a slave.Big words from an apprenticeґs mouth. Heared the latest rumours? The council considers to put you back a year because you broke of the test. Best they could do, anyway. Plain to see youґre not much of a magician. But donґt mind, fishingґs nice, too. You speak as though youґd were well informed. I wonder where you gather all the news. Slowly, you get of your horse, blue flames playing around your wand. Why donґt you tell me about your informant? The name of the traitor amongst us?
