Quest - Pentagram
Baltasar
"The Pentagram: Introduction"
The library was especially cold. A dusty volume had just arrived. A volume excavated from House Macabre by an Ailsing explorer, Bentic. It related the history of five previous occupants, the Scarlet Beetle, the Kopfloser Reiter, the Lich, the Dark Cleric, and the Nagetier.
One adventurer read in this tome of the ritual they had performed. It was a gruesome ritual. Yet, more gruesome when he realized some two hundreds years passed between the account of a man's life and account of the ritual.
He understood the ritual could be repeated. With a sick sense of dread, yet an interminable curiosity he sought out companions that would be necessary to complete the ritual: A monk, a wizard, a priest, a rogue and himself, a warrior. Not any, but worldly-wise adventurers of at least three score insights.
When he found the other four, he made them swear to secrecy. Then he told them of the tale and the ritual. He pointed out the passages in the tome.
He asked for their agreement to a pact. They made a pact of five, one of each of the Aisling classes."What happened next?"
Only those five Aislings know for sure.
"Crazy tales"
[He narrows his gaze and then drops the discussion]"Where is the library?"
The library? It's in Loures, by the royal chamber.
Blaise used to struggle with the book. I'd see him hunched over the pages, with the texts of literature and history piled beside.
He doesn't talk about it anymore, but he nodded gravely at me when I asked if the book was still there.
But think better before thinking going there. You're a good Aisling. I don't want to lose you to that.
Lose your soul, that is.
[He gravely warns you and then returns to a stoic silence]
