[p]CHALICE, MOONSTONE HILLS – In breaking news, local authorities have confirmed that the sealed tomb of infamous necromancer Razaak has been "accidentally disturbed" by an as-yet-unidentified group of amateur adventurers, gold-diggers, or possibly drunk hedge wizards.[/p][p]The fissure — described as “smelling like rotting ambition and burnt toast” — reportedly erupted with foul vapours and a skeletal hand flipping off a passing Giant Eagle. One Elf barely survived the encounter, and is now recovering at the Lion Inn on a strict diet of soup, grog, and trauma therapy.[/p][p]“It’s exactly what I warned people about,” muttered reclusive wizard and known herb enthusiast Yaztromo. “You let one idiot open a cursed sarcophagus 110 years early and boom — there goes the kingdoms.”[/p][p]The undead crisis, dubbed "CryptStorm" by local media, has sparked panic-buying of healing potions, talismans, and pre-owned swords. The Allansia Weather Bureau has also issued a Grim Forecast Warning, with plague, pestilence, and possible spectral fog expected to blanket the western provinces “by Thursday.”[/p][p]Historians confirm Razaak was originally an apprentice of good magic, but switched majors to Evil after discovering it had better dental. His downfall came at the skeletal hands of Kull, a sword enthusiast who unknowingly wielded Razaak’s own cursed blade, and paid for the victory by being instantly reduced to dust and then turned into an unwilling ghost boat captain.[/p][p]Now, a new hero must rise. Probably you.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
