The Quest For The Lichemaster

Quest 1 - The Tomb Of Wilhelm Gneisser Level 1


The Baron wishes you well, although he and his men cannot spare you any help.  A messenger has just arrived from an outlying farm, which has been attacked by Skaven, and the Baron must ride out with a strong force of good fighting men to put down the evil ratmen.  He says that if you are successful and prove yourself in your first mission then you will have provided a service for the lands around, and he will give you some reward.  "We are not rich folk in these lands, but we will do what we can", he promises.  The Guide he provides leads you into the Grey mountains for some distance, through a slowly descending mist on a grey and chill day.  As you get closer to the dungeon entrance, there is a mournful cry from behind a rocky crag to your left, and then a horrible chilling scream which echoes away into a throttled sob, and a rustle of great wings as some fell bird makes off with its bloodied prey.

You ask your Guide if he has any information about the Tomb you are soon to enter.  "It is the resting place of Wilhelm Gneisser, the Chaos Champion of much evil renown" he replies.  A band of Orcs, under the leadership of a particularly nasty Orc Warlord named Grozgoth, are living here now; more than that I cannot say."  The Guide points out the entrance to you, and then scampers off down the mountainside, constantly looking over his shoulders.

You examine the entrance to the Tomb:  a nondescript hole leading into the mountain.  Now you must ready your weapons and prepare to enter the darkness and gloom of the dungeon below!
