Voraniss Questing III The Siege of Necron

IC Notes:

After months of tracking Sir Edwyn’s forces throughout the Realms with the aid of the Circle of Crows, the Silverwing Justicar, and the Enlightened Quill Society, it has become clear where our wayward Lich intends to strike next. His scattered forces are converging upon the abandoned Necron, a base of power that once belonged to the necromancer known as Calladen.

It is likely that he will be sending Sir Roman and Dame Carrion in to claim as many of the useful leftovers as they can get their hands on, including relics, souls, beasts, and bodies. It is a veritable treasure trove of wicked means to wicked ends.

Raelynn, Percival, Grimpaw, and I intend to scout out as much information as we can for you in advance but know that this will be a race against time. Hard decisions will need to be made, and you must learn to prioritize as a team if you want to stop things from escalating from bad to worse. The enemy is motivated after their last defeat, and they will stop at nothing to advance their cause.

Make your preparations, and we will soon meet to plan our infiltration.
