You can't outrun your own reflection
Liset would smile. “Very well! Let us eat, then!” She said, leaving the room. She would be gone a few minutes before coming in with plates of food. It was a veritable feast, with meat and vegetables and fruit! She then brought in alcohol for everyone, all on the house.
When it was done, she smiled, said “Thank you” and sent everyone off to find Sergeant Knox for more information.
Chapter One: Of Fire and Flame
"The hardest part about fighting a necromancer is that the more of your troops that you lose, the more soldiers they gain, and some of those soldiers have the faces of those you once knew as friends."
- Captain Robin Carter, A Guardsman's Lament
Knox would clear up the scene with the help of the guards and the Mintarns. He paid for everyone to stay the night at an inn and for all their food. It was a quiet night, with people watching and whispering about the strangers from the shadows. They were oddities for sure, with their strange ways and clothes.
The next morning, Knox would call everyone together into the market. There was no evidence of the chaos from the previous .day. He began to speak. “Now, we have some work we need to do today. Quartermaster Otus has gone missing in the vaults below the Hall of Justice. He was supposed to fetch the Crown of Neverwinter, but we think something happened to him. Someone needs to investigate it. Some suspicious activity has been located in the Plague Tower. I think it may have something to do with your situation. I will personally lead a team to investigate. Who volunteers?”
Suddenly, a guard dressed in Mintarn armor would run in, an arrow in his shoulder. "Sir, Valindra's at Dragon Bridge. Sabine's calling for more aid. They can’t hold the wall much longer.” He winced in pain.
"What? It's only been a... Alright, those of you who wish to aid Sabine, go to Dragon Bridge. Those who wish to get the crown, head to the Hall of Justice, tell the guards that I sent you. Those who wish to figure out exactly what’s going on, follow me.” Sergeant Knox said, picking up his axe.

Poppy blinked and tilted her head. "...Suspicious activity in the Plague Tower?" the yordle tittered, "Next you'll tell me water is wet," she quipped, following Sergeant Knox's lead. Arriving at the location, Poppy did a double-take at the residence as their march came to a halt. "Hold on, this is the Plague Tower? Inside the city?" Poppy rhetorically asked, peering through the gates at the shambling undead present not a stone's throw away from the rest of Neverwinter. Lifting her weapon off her shoulder, she gripped her greathammer by the neck in one hand, and her buckler ready in the other.
The Rune Mage could feel the powerful energies surrounding the tower, and it filled him with a familiar sense of foreboding. It was not unlike the feeling of approaching someone coveting a World Rune. "As I thought... Why is it that no matter where I go, there's always some idiot playing with powers they don't understand? Humanity never learns," he exclaimed, visibly angry. "We'll see how skilled this Rhazzad really is."
The runic tattoos on his chest began to glow slightly as he prepared his body to be a vessel of magic. "Let's go. We don't have time to dawdle. Hopefully you all know how to fight against a mage," he continued, looking at Richter particularly. He wondered if the hunter had any anti-magic techniques.
"I'm Demacian, remember?" Poppy commented, all of a sudden exuding an air of confidence as battle drew near, "Rogue mages are our area of expertise!" she exclaimed, digging her heels into the dirt as Knox gave the ready call. "Been awhile since I've faced a necromancer though..." Poppy added, her voice hinting at her excitement, and her stout form absolutely tingling with it. As Knox tore the gate down and the undead charged, Poppy eagerly sprang into action, whipping her buckler at the nearest target.
