Starting story

there is a great battle between the humans and the undead of this region. the party was captured form there normal life's and made slaves of the undead lich. the party is dominated for about a year, in which they fought for there lich master during this domination a battle broke out in the lich his home. the party fought on the side of the lich. The lich being aware that undead have weaknesses used two metal golems to guard him. an enemy's wizard was able to disintegrate the lich into nothingness before he himself was devoured by the metal golem's acid spray.

losing the mindlink of there master the metal golems stand still unmoving. behind them is a pile of dust where the lich used to be. in frond of them a puddle of acid where there used to be a wizard.

The party finds themselves battle worn from frighting the wizards companions, they have only 3/4th of there hitpoints and spells left. the wizards and clerics have only memorised spells that might benefit them against humans. after all the lich 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 to and are aware of most of there combat ability's. however, they have no idea where there alignment lies or what other skills they might have.

in the not so far distant they hear that the battle still lives on. screams and blows fill the air.

the party knows part of the layout of the first dungeon. but only parts they have been. this is from the entrance to the cells to the main throne room.

freed from there mind-control the party has to make a choice what to do next. rid the world of evil undead, join an other undead leader's army or just try to escape to a far away place.

on the wall is a map of the world, in the center is the lich's castle in all its glory. it looks old though, how old is hard to say. a good point is, how do you navigate around the world. it is one thing to have a map, its another thing to be able to survive or find your way around the world.
