Starting story[edit]

There is a great battle between the humans and the undead of this region. The party was captured form their normal lives and made slaves of the undead lich Zearban. The party has been dominated for about a year, in which they fought for their lich master. During this domination a battle broke out in Zearban's home. The party fought on the side of Zearban. Zearban, being aware that undead have weaknesses, used two metal golems to guard him. The enemy leader, champion of the humans, Falador joined the fight. Falador was able to disintegrate the lich into nothingness before he himself was devoured by the metal golem's acid spray.

Having lost the mindlink to their master, the metal golems stand still, unmoving. Behind them is a pile of dust where Zearban used to be, in frond of them a puddle of acid where there used to be a wizard.

The party members find themselves battle-worn from frighting the wizard's companions, they have only 3/4th of their hitpoints and spells left. The wizards and clerics have only memorized spells that might benefit them against humans. After all, Zearban had gotten word of the attack and made sure all his troops where ready to defend him.

Looking around, the party sees piles of dead bodies and parts of undead everywhere. They know that the other party members where dominated too and are aware of most of there combat abilities. However, they have no idea where their alignment lies or what other skills they might have.

In the not so far distance they hear that the battle still lives on, screams and blows fill the air.

Freed from their mind-control, the party will try to get revenge on the undead for controlling them for so long and destroying their lands.

On the wall is a map of the world, It looks old, though how old is hard to say.
