What do you do?

We attempt to bribe the guard to help us.

We attempt to break out of the cell.

You hold the wand out over the bishop’s head once more, and intone, “Thomerion shall prevail.” The bishop opens his eyes, and sits up. “What are you all doing here?” he shouts.

As you wave the wand more, you tell the bishop that you are his close friends, and that he ought to do your bidding. “After all,” you assert, “nothing else has ever been true.” The bishop smiles at you. “What can I do for you?” he says with a pleasant lilt.

As you guide him out of the catacomb and toward your hut, the goblin asks, “So, you are to heal a friend?”

“Yes,” you respond tersely.

“Of the seal of Thomerion, I presume?”

“Yes.” You walk some more, focusing straight ahead.

“I warn you, good sirs,” the goblin continues, “you make but a tiny dent in the larger picture. Thousands more share your friend’s plight.” You hesitate, and turn. The goblin nods.

By all appeareances, the control spell seems to still hold, and strongly enough for you to trust that nothing will go wrong. You instruct Bartleby and the bishop to go on ahead.

“Thousands?”

The goblin nods again, and something clicks within you.

“Your master said something about an army. Is the church forming its new ranks from the dead, or the soon-to-be-dead?”

“I was only told so much,” the goblin admits, “but, it does not sound good for Ambrosinia.”

Minutes later, you reunite with your good friend with mixed emotions, as the bishop removed the seal quickly and easily. Fedwick even looks at a tad healthier than you remember, for all the rest he’s acquired. You embrace, but hold off on sharing stories of what you’ve been through just yet.

As a group, you do what you can to stem this sect of Thomerion by escorting the bishop to local authorities, where they detain him on charges of attempted murder. Over time, the goblin becomes a worshipper of the sun god, and even works his way into society at large, becoming gainfully employed as a carpenter.

As weeks have passed in the process, however, the knowledge that something bigger occurs behind the scenes weighs on your heart and mind. Even as you keep the artifact that got you what you wanted, you can’t help but wonder where you would begin to help, should this supposed army threaten the peace of Ambrosinia as a nation.
