Artemis returned to the trapdoor that lead him from the experiments caverns. On the island, there were three gravestones. On them each was a dead lord’s name. “Rologray, Rolovanne, and Rolomere huh? Rest well guys, your land is in good hands.” He bowed in respect and jumped over the nearby bridge returning to the mainland.
As he jumped over, he noticed a large fenced in area. Moving forward, he seen that there was a statue of sorts…and ghouls…lots of ghouls… Entering the fenced area, the ghouls tried to set upon him. Artemis casted several powerful fire spells at them and they recoiled. This did not stop them however. Groaning they moved in to attack him again.
He lept back towards the statue and they seemed to stop. Something must be protecting the statue and he noticed a man nearby. After closer examination, he realized the central statue was a sundial surrounded by smaller statue plinths.
The man looked shabby. His clothes were dirty and torn and flies surrounded him due to his smell. “Hey man…wanna buy some food I founds?” He said in what sounded like drunkenness. “Er…No thanks. I already ate…” Artemis replied repulsed by the aged, half eaten fruit and vegetables sitting nearby the man.
