Tale 6 told by Thulsa on 18.09.2000
Demonic

I got an invitation note from Nightshade himself the other day. 
Ofcourse I said yes. See, he has been redecorating his manor
lately. I doubt it was needed, I'd guess he felt like it. He gave
me the grand tour after a great dinner, it was really something else.

  But after we walked around for a while, I sensed that he had other
reasons. I tried to pull it out of him. But he just kept on talking about
how good it was getting. And that it will be all finished in a few weeks. 
After a while I couldnt stop myself and asked him what he really wanted.

  'Well' he said, 'for many decades I have been, cough, trying to locate
the lost soul of Fean'. Suddenly it came to me, that mean mongrel has
finally managed to what Nireth fears the most. His worst enemy for centuries, 
can be taken back from the gates of Hades. So I just told him, how do we get
in and start the battle ? For sure, this place needs an evil hand, a strong
evil hand as Fean. Those Angus Caran invaders has poisoned the land.

  I was so excited that I almost smiled, but managed to keep my evil grin. 
Then Nightshade said that Fean will most probably stay where he is for
centuries to come. 'Shaxx and Nireth fooled him bigtime, well what can
you expect from a demon and a Angus Caran mage ?' I grinned evilly. As he
continued: 'A demon will always try to defeat his master, and Shaxx got help
from Nireth.' Well, in any case as Nightshade didnt say, Nireth trapped Shaxx
so that he couldnt cause any more evil.

  The main part here, is that Fean held many of his powers in his ring. It was
when he a lightning bolt cut of his arm and the ring with it that he lost. 
So that ring is the first thing to brin. If he gets his ring back. Surely he
would be greatfull, it would be his freedom!

  And in secret we can start rebuilding our affiliation of malevolence. Then
Nightshade said, I almost managed to open a portal right in to Fean. But I
sensed that something was comming through. So I had to cast a quick spell to
end the portal. And now I cant open it again. But I have found out that the
portal is open, it is close, and I feel it below us. If just someone could
find the portal and gather the powers needed. For the journey into Hades
will be dangerous and vile. May the Occultists, High Lords of Ciduul
once again roam!

Thulsa, the adventurer.
