The noise is the first thing that hits you as you enter the Echoing Halls. You avoid the howling spirits that fill the air with their rage. You find Cavanda trying to help a white coated Assistant who is patching up a wounded man. |
The Overworked Assistant is stitching up the chest of the still undead, 'Of course not. This one simply stopped. It's just not good enough. I must speak to the Professor at once about the truly abdominal work the underlings are doing. Now you, go make yourself useful and bring me a Howling Peepers from those stupid Howling Visages so I can restart this Hammer. Go on now, chop chop, I don't have ALL DAY you know!' |

Stage 2 Minimum Level: 1910
Location:Twisted Castle (Echoing Halls) (2, 9)
Required Item: Howling Peepers
Required Kills: None

When you return to the Overworked Assistant, you find that he has just finished removing the eyes from the undead on the floor. Cavanda is staring at the vaulted ceiling trying not to notice the gruesomeness happening before her. The white coated Assistant does not even look up, he simply reaches out to you with one hand, 'I'll have those Howling Peepers now.' |
The Assistant takes the eyes and looks at them closely, 'Excellent, these are fresh. Even has the ectoplasmic residue still on it. There is nothing more energized than an enraged spirit. So this will kill two birds with one stone. We'll replace the rotted eyes and empower the Hammers necromantic energies with these beauties. Also a few less Howlers is never a bad thing. Well we're done here, I've got so much to do with the Professor's latest monstrosity he wants animated.'
You then hear Cavanda shifting nervously in her plate, keeping her holy insignia of Sahria hidden from the Necromatic Assistant. As the Overworked Assistant starts to stand you ask him, 'I'm sorry, we're new here. Who is this Professor you speak of?' For the first time the Assistant looks at you directly, his eyes filled with utter contempt. 'Oh dear. I've warned him about hiring stupid help. This Castle, you know the big stone thing your standing in, is named after the Professor. Castle Morbidstein. Hopefully you can figure the rest out between the two of you. Consider it your homework!'
Then without another word the Assistant storms off muttering loudly to himself about idiots who infest the Realms.
Cavanda stares after the Assistant. She mumbles is shock, 'I'm sorry, but did he just say that we're in Castle Morbidstein?' You nod is silent consternation. She continues, 'The Emperor of Yellow said that "Your victories shall be your downfall." I was assumed he meant me. But I've never been to Castle Morbidstein. He meant you didn't he? Don't tell me it was you who slew Doctor Morbidstein!' You shrug, 'It was a while back and he wasn't such a big deal to be honest.'
The Paladin glares at you, 'Well let's hope our luck holds and he hasn't changed much since the last time you battled him. Come on, we have to put a stop to whatever evil Doctor Morbidstein is making now.' The Paladin then storms off in the direction of the Lower Fortress.
You struggle to comprehend what's happening, how can you kill Doctor Morbidstein when you have already done so... Didn't the Assistant say he was a Professor... Whatever is going on you should follow Cavanda into the Lower Fortress.
