Alzar hires:
Level 8 fighter to be Castellan, 2000 gp
The Castellan is in charge of the defenses in the stronghold, particularly when Alzar is not around.
In the last few days of the month, Alzar receives an odd dream about a black stone on top of a large hill, far away, where power and destiny await
Month 10, Year 2:
27 Weeks left (rolls a 51)
Dominion - +10% everywhere. Nice bonus!
Twice more Alzar receives similar dreams. He does some investigating and finds that there is a similar rock and hill about 300 miles to the north-north-west. There are no civilizations anywhere nearby. Alzar decides to head up to the rock, flying on his Carpet, and heading over to investigate.
Two days later he arrives at the black rock on the hill. His new familiar, Azzil, spends some time invisibly scouting around. There is a tunnel here at the base of the rock, and it’s pretty big. Alzar scouts around, lands, and then conjures an Earth and Stalker before moving in.
Alzar suddenly is gently captured and drops down to the ground in a large central chamber. He can’t move. Lights ignite and reveal five thrones equidistant around the chamber, with five different aged women, crones, on them.
