It appears that this path has been cleared on a small scale, but not enough to be noticeable to passerby. After several moments, you pass the "eagle's rock", a giant stone that shares an uncanny resemblance to an eagle's head. vines and brush have started to overgrow the stone, but it appears to have been relatively new to this area.''

	~~Allow players to make any kind of checks or readied actions.~~

	~~::''That is when you feel it. The ground rumbles and a heavy feeling fills your heart as you sense a faint smell of sulfur in the air. And that is when you see him.''~~

	If characters draw swords and attack at this juncture, he will sheathe his sword, teleport behind a single attacker, or surround himself in an aura that is impenetrable, causing 2d6 necrotic damage to those who attempt. Magnus is not wanting to fight but merely have them join him. He will continue with his actions to the best of his ability, stopping if the players seem to attack.

	::''What you notice first about him is the sheer size of him. He stands to almost eight feet, with black armor forming horns and points over the entirety. Red glowing eyes shine from under his helm and his mere footfalls seem to cause the earth to tremble. He carries a jagged sword at his side and when he stops before you, he places it in front of him like a cane. He pauses for a moment and releases a wicked laugh before addressing you.''

	::''"It appears we have the same enemy, you and I. Do you know who I am?'' (Magnus won't respond to their answer at this point) ''I am not very much different from you. We are merely pawns that seek to stay on the board, hoping to survive another day in this twisted world. We spend everyday looking for ways to make us stronger to fight enemies we can not overcome and we seek answers to questions that have not been addressed. Within all of this, we are tossed into a war of the deities, awaiting an outcome that will crush us or save us. We may be on opposing sides of this war, but this is a war we can stop."''

	::''"With our alliance, we will rival the power of the sun, surviving the oncoming destruction of the ages. Things have been set into motion that cannot be stopped, which will allow me reign of this world. But my reign does not leave all to waste. I will spare those who aid me'' (this is a lie, with a DC 5 Insight check)''. Should you join me, we will find this World Tree together and bring power to mortals'' (a DC 15 insight check will show that this is for an ulterior motive and only a half truth). ''The gods will be left to themselves and we will be left to our selves and the world shall be cleansed under my rule, the world will NEVER be the same."''

	~~::''Magnus laughs again before turning his back to them (with an attack at this juncture provoking the encounter) and says to them:''~~

	~~::''"The world is beyond saving, its vile filth overpowering the just. It is up to us to create the world as it should be." He turns back to the party. "Shall you join me?"''~~

	==== Setup: ====		==== Setup: ====
	~~From this point, characters are left to decide their next course of action.~~

	Should they choose to accept his offer, Magnus will wave his hand over each of the players eyes, causing them to see the world in a tint. This causes their alignment to change negatively (good to neutral, neutral to evil) with no effect on evil players. Magnus will say the following:

	''"It is good that you have seen reason. My power can not be stopped. Your purpose is to find the tree. I will have my agents find you (if asked, he has written a magic "beacon" on the backs of their eyes that is only removed by changing the text) and begin the initiation (if questioned, Magnus will send his followers to have them sell their souls in return for their servitude).''

	He will dissipate into the darkness, leaving the party to themselves. (NOTE: The World Tree is not meant to be an evil campaign. This is mentioned for those who wish to feign loyalty. Nefaria can restore the alignment change and words, but will need to be persuaded that they can be trusted).

	~~Should they refuse his offer~~, ~~Magnus will stand in silence for a moment before forming a fist in his hand~~.		::''Not far from the strange rock, you find what appears to be the entrance. What used to be polished marble is now overgrown rock caked with dirt and debris. The surrounding area has been cleared, but appears to need some tidying to make presentable. As you approach, you notice several horrific statues among the outskirts of the tomb entrance, similar to those you saw at the outpost. They do not seem to be moving, and many have their backs to you.''

	~~''"You have chosen unwisely, fools~~. Let ~~me show you your folly!"''~~		This is for revenge and to bolster confidence before going into the tomb. Let the party get as meticulous as they like.

	~~He draws his sword and begins~~ the ~~encounter~~.

	==== Tactics: ====		==== Tactics: ====
	~~Magnus~~' goal is ~~not~~ to ~~kill~~ the ~~players~~, ~~but to show them his power. He~~ will ~~attack players and try to humiliate them, not kill them (example: throwing~~ a ~~strong character~~, ~~outrunning a fast character, spotting hidden characters, etc). Magnus still believes they will join them~~. ~~When he reaches his bloodied amount~~, ~~Magnus~~ will ~~begin to cast his powerful spells. Pay close attention to the extended tactics~~ in ~~[[The World Tree/Act_1/~~Scene ~~Levels\|Scene Levels]] for more information of how this fight is to be finished~~.		The gargoyle's goal is to survive. Should more than half of the gargoyles be slain, the gargoyles will make a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw or be terrified of the party, fleeing into the woods. Should any survive, the Scarlet Eye will be prepared for them in Act # Scene #. If the party is defeated, the gargoyles will flee to the Scarlet Eye, joining them in Act # Scene #.

	~~Magnus will also allow any character to flee without consequence, accepting this as the most humiliating defeat. Should~~ the party be defeated, ~~proceed~~ to ~~[[The World Tree/Act_2~~#~~Scene_1\|Act 2~~ Scene ~~1]]~~.

	==== Features of the Area: ====		==== Features of the Area: ====
	Illumination: ~~Dim at the outpost and outside~~. ~~Bright lighting depends on added illumination by the players~~.		Illumination: Bright for day, dim for night..

	Terrain Features: See [[The World Tree/Act 1/Scene Levels\|Scene Levels]].		Terrain Features: Fallen pillars and brush get in creatures way. Should a creature sprint through "Grasping Vines", they must make a DC 10 Strength saving throw or be restrained. See [[The World Tree/Act 1/Scene Levels\|Scene Levels]].

	Treasure: 0 gp		Treasure: 0 gp

	==== Conclusion: ====		==== Conclusion: ====
	Play out what the characters would like to do ~~from here (unless they were defeated)~~. ~~Allow~~ them a rest ~~to regain their bearings. It is not important of how far they run or where they end up, but it is important that they are well rested before continuing with the next act~~.		Play out what the characters would like to do. Resting outside of the tomb will bring the Scarlet Eye to them during their rest.

	~~Magnus is no longer at their previous location, having teleported away after the encounter.~~ The ~~Thal Council is also not at the Thal, should the characters decide that route, due to their traveling~~ to Daerum~~. The belltower's meeting room is merely a room with cogs~~, ~~no table~~ and ~~chairs like before (unless the party came to this scene non-linearly). Proceed to the next act when~~ the ~~characters are ready~~.		The gargoyles will flee to Daerum and seek out the Scarlet Eye, warning them of your survival and your presence at the tomb.
