Wizard's Council

   A meeting of the wizards council was held to discuss the outcome of the Barbarian attack on Wizard City. It was noted that Zefferon was absent from the meeting due to the current situation. Renko has summoned a barbarian horde to deal with the remaining evil barbarians and thieves that have overtaken the city. Renko's horde was very successful in removing every remaining barbarian and thief that was attempting to guard the city. Renko's forces left no enemies alive and any who attempted to flee the situation were hunted down and dealt with swiftly.

   Although there were several occasions where some force that was present on the battlefield killed hundreds of Renko's barbarian horde in such a manner to cause those viewing the battle to flee and regroup elsewhere.

   There was one location that was not able to be explored however. Anyone approaching within 100' of the main building that is known to hold the Evil artifact was slain. Some fell to the ground with arrows protruding from their bodies, others simply exploded as they approached. There were more than 10 different ways observed that people died as they approached. It would seem that this building will be the location of the final battle.

   The remaining wizards on the council (Zefferon, Nebo, Mormelick) are all that remain of the high wizards in the realm, also there were a few apprentices that were rescued in an earlier attempt to free the city. It will be some time before the wizards council we be as powerful as they once were, but the remaining wizards could probably harness more power between the three of them than the original council of ten had combined.

   The wizards council had a special guest during the meeting. The party has had some dealings with him in the past. Some know him as Dalland Hog, but the council simply refers to him as the great Sage. He has come to discuss the importance of this upcoming battle at the once great Wizard City.

 

   (This battle will be known as the Final Conflict. Those who participate in this battle must know that they are fighting for more than is apparent. Failing to destroy the Evil artifact will not result in great destruction, just a new way of life. If the artifact completes its task all magical abilities will be destroyed. There are a few items and abilities that would not be effected by this, but for all others it could be catastrophic. The destruction would be instantaneous and then the effects of the artifact would be gone. Those who have  prepared for this outcome would have a great advantage over everyone else. The forces you will face are like none you have ever encountered before. Highly trained creatures called Mist Hunters will guard the way to the artifact and the high priest Delgar will be your final conflict. Defeat him and destroy the artifact, or fail and suffer the consequences. This battle need not be completed in one fell swoop, as it may take time to weaken the enemy within.)
