Title:
A Frame of a Picture
A while ago, we heard rumors that the Saradominists had discovered that we had the Lance. No doubt that it was Sliskean interference. I personally hoped to keep it a secret for as long as possible, but when dealing with someone as ******** as the Sliskeans, you can't expect that for long.
When I heard these rumors, I, of course, sent someone to scout around. Everything went well for about a week, then lightning struck their church. Again, Sliskean interference, no doubt. This, however, was not all. Within, was something out of a murder novel. The priest had been gutted, crucified, and lastly had a symbol of our Lord carved into his forehead. A Ripper Demon had made his way into the church.
My scout, being a complete idiot, revealed his presence, screamed about the Sliskean being sacrilegious, and claimed innocence. Naturally, they didn't believe him. However, this was not all. One of Azulra's scouts had made her way to the church as well. Naturally, they detected her too. In the chaos caused by her escape, my scout retrieved a small Sliskean talisman from a pool of gold.
This was a teleport icon of come kind. I wanted to go and investigate myself, however, my lieutenants talked me out of it. One of them volunteered to go in my place. Naturally, it was a trap. He found himself on a small island, in the Karamjan Volcano.
