A man fitting the description has been reported lurking in an Orc Camp along the North-East road of Britain. No one knows why he is allowed to stay there.

Hamunaptra and the Evil Priest Imhotep
Icon: Mummy's Bandage
Difficulty: 8
Over a millennia ago, before the ancient ones walked the land, a vast Empire wielded its power over the world! One dark day, the High Priest Imhotep and his followers rose up and murdered the King. The King's loyal bodyguards gave chase to Imhotep and his priests as they raced South across the desert to their stronghold, the Temple of Hamunaptra (the Temple of the Dead). The guards overpowered Imhotep and his priests. Justice was swift.
The priests were immediately executed and mummified. However, Imhotep was sentenced to an unthinkable death. He was mummified alive! As he was being sealed into his sarcophagus, he swore to return and seek vengeance on all who would disturb his remains, and then he would destroy the world! Much time has past since then.
The Capital city has been reclaimed by the desert from which it rose. But there are many tales told, for a price, to those seeking adventure and wealth. One such tale tells of the ruins of Hamunaptra, where danger and death lurk in the shadows.
Should the cursed Imhotep ever be brought back to life, there is only one way to stop him. The rumor is to slay his mummified body and take a piece of the cloth he was mummified in. It is also rumored that to find his body in the ruins you must find the scroll held by his minions. The last rumor is that the Temple lies east of great waters in the sand in the land of peaceful Malas.
So it was written, so it shall be told… Trade the mummy's bandage for a Virtue Stone.

Kumo Oni
Icon: Jade Shakuhachi (flute)
Difficulty: 3
Many know the story of Cedric the most famous bard in the lands of Britainia, but few have heard the tragic tale of his wife Kumo. It is a sad tale indeed of lost love and lives destroyed.
The love of Cedric's life was his beautiful and graceful wife Kumo. Kumo had traveled the lands beside her beloved for many years as he went about his duties, performances, and bardic services fulfilling first this contract and that. They had become inseparable and were happily so.
After Cedric's famous lute was tragically stolen, the faithful Kumo tried and tried in vain to help her husband, but despite her best nurturing, Cedric was still a broken shell of a man, and just a shadow of his former self. Kumo had the idea that if the famous lute could not be retrieved, then she would just have to seek a replacement. Nothing was too much to do for her husband, if she could just make Cedric well again.
In her many travels, Kumo had heard of a jade colored bamboo flute, with magical properties, owned by the evil Spider Queen Octavia. With questionable intentions and summoning all the skills she had inherently learned growing up as a samuri's daughter, she and 4 hired bandits, bravely stealthed into Octavia's hidden lair to try and steal the famous instrument. With patience and much searching the flute was located in the Queens chamber and after a few moments Kumo had it in her possession. She was very surprised and relieved that the instrument could be taken with so little resistance. Her relief was short-lived however when on their journey out of the lair, the Arachnid guard showed up and then inevitably Queen Octavia herself. After a fierce battle, in which Kumo saw all of her companions fall and almost all of the Arachnid guard disabled, she was finally at the exit of the Arachnid lair and looked to be almost free. The Queen cast one last powerful spell in Kumo's direction that should have killed her, but with so much of Queen's magic spent in the battle, the weakened spell had the a strange effect of a polymorphing poor Kumo. The once beautiful Kumo had become a horribly brown disfigured something…., a cross between a woman and a something else…..
Kumo-Oni as she is now known, has been doomed to spend her life as a creature similar to a Terathan Matriarch and never be able to return to her home or her beloved Cedric. She is forbidden to go near any towns by instant death from Britainnia Guards and will never be able to see her husband again face to face, or to give him the valuable prize she worked so hard to steal.
Rumors abound that the last know whereabouts of the dark Kumo-Oni was in the south of one of the Tokuno Islands. She is still in possession of the magical flute known as the Jade Shakuhachi. She now has her own guard of Arachnids; so be careful brave warrior, if you venture after her to retrieve the flute, which is a prize very much worth claiming for yourself. Rumor also has it, that if you be of negative karma, you would do well to watch out for the band of tree creatures you must venture through to get there. Cedric holds out the false hope that he may be re-united with his wife one day in the not to distant future, and asks that you not kill her if possible, but you need to know there may be no other way……..
Lance of The Dragon Maiden
Icon:
Difficulty:
For centuries the residents of Ilshenar have been plagued by dragons. To appease these mighty beasts they make an annual sacrifice of a tasty young maiden, as tradition requires. What they did not realise is that dragons have no craving for tender young maidens flesh, but much prefer cows, sheep and even the occasional melon (in season of course!).
Each year the dragons would release the maiden from her chains, and those that had not died of fright, were set free. The freed maidens were very reluctant to return to the people who had willingly left them as Dragon Snacks. Some joined the roving Gypsies in the area and some stayed in the protected area of the Lizard Passage, in the western mountains, and lived with the dragons. These maidens tended gardens for the dragons (making it much easier for them to have their favorite melons!) and enjoyed a life of relative ease & safety with their giant Defenders. The younger maidens all look to the oldest of the maidens, well past the blossom of girlhood, as their leader and have named her The Dragon Queen.
Their peace was shattered when one of the maidens who had joined the Gypsies was recognised by someone who lived in the village she was from. She, reluctantly, told the story of how the dragons did not eat the maidens but freed them and that many now lived there in the company of the dragons. The story spread, and most likely grew in the telling (as such tales oft do), to all the towns & cities. Many brave (or foolhardy) men sought to best the dragons and make a name for themselves by rescuing the maidens. Few made it past the drakes guarding the passage.
One brave Dragon Slayer, Gilen, took his glorious dragon slaying lance and went to free the maidens. Great was his strength and endless was his courage! He slew all the drakes and dragons between him and the maidens. The maidens, horrified at the slaughter of their beloved dragons, began to lament loudly. Hearing the wailing of the maidens, the Dragon Queen summoned her Wyrm Defender and attacked Gilen. Taken by complete surprise by the maiden's attack Gilen soon fell in battle. And the Queen claimed his lance as her prize.
Fearing future attacks might rob them of their lovely companions, the dragons now guard the maidens closely. All a maiden need do is utter the smallest cry of pain and her Defender is by her side and will fight until his death.
To this day the Dragon Queen still carries the Lance of the Dragon Slayer. She has said she will relinquish it only in death.

Icon: Cunning
Difficulty: 3
The locals have been complaining of strange goings-on and frequent disappearances since the two sisters have set up shop in the outer city of Skara Brae in Trammel.
