Stage 1 Minimum Level: 1309 Location:Bunkyner Village (Lanes) (10, 13) Required Item: Bunkyner Emblem Required Kills: None

You enter a small village and are immediately faced with a Guard dressed in leather armour, 'You cannot stay here, leave at once!' You remember the Young Archer telling you that his Uncle was on the Bunkyner Guard and hand over the Emblem he gave you. The Archer blinks in surprise at the bright brass plate then says, 'Sorry Warrior, I was not aware any more Mercenaries were hired. Go to the Guard Compound and receive further Orders.'

Stage 2 Minimum Level: 1309 Location:Bunkyner Village (Guard Compound) (3, 5) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

A harassed Guard Sergeant waves you over. As you walk over to him you are astonished to see Simion's Caravan standing within the Compound. You point to it and ask, 'Why is that here?' The Guard Sergeant looks at you with glassy eyes, 'The voice told us the Merchants were evil, so we imprisoned them.' You see he strokes an amulet hung around his neck as he speaks in a curious hollow voice. You nod and tell him you need to see the Captain again. The Sergeant is obviously under some sort of influence, the Captain wasn't wearing one so he might not be effected. But is it unlikely he will believe you without proof, get an Amulet of Aumku from the Bunkyner Archers and give it to the Bunkyner Captain.'

Stage 3 Minimum Level: 1309 Location:Bunkyner Village (Lanes) (10, 13) Required Item: Amulet of Aumku Required Kills: None

The Bunkyner Guard Captain glares at you, 'What are you doing here, I thought I told you to report to the Guard Compound!' You check to see if the captain is not wearing the Amulet and are relieved he is not. You hand him the Amulet and say, 'Do not put that on. All your Archers are wearing this Amulet and are obeying a voice in their head. We need to do something about that!' The Captain flips the Amulet in his hand, then stops an Archer that passes buy. He scowls as he sees the Amulet around his neck and his glassy eyes staring vacantly into space. He turns to you, 'This is ridiculous, just when we receive word that the Orcs are preparing for another attack all the Guards are useless! We must get to the bottom of this and quickly, meet me in the Temple surely the Clerics will know something about this.'

Stage 4 Minimum Level: 1310 Location:Bunkyner Village (Temple) (11, 15) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

You find a terrified Captain surrounded by a ring of spell fire. He motions to you, 'Don't come any closer, this is not normal fire. It's straight from a demonic kingdom. I don't know why, but the Clerics have gone insane. Babbling nonsense about a savior for the village, then they cast this hellish fire ring around me. But it was the Priestess of the Temple that cast it. Find her and get her to stop. That will free me from the spell. Find and convince the Bunkyner Priestess to free the captain from the Spell Fire.

Stage 5 Minimum Level: 1310 Location:Bunkyner Village (Temple) (9, 8) Required Item: None Required Kills: 80 x Bunkyner Cultist

Standing at the Center of the Temple you find a Priestess chanting quietly to herself. As you step closer you see that she is in some kind of trance. But a yell from behind you draws your attention. As you turn you see a wave of robed figures running blindly to stop you. Whatever faith these followed once they have now abandoned. You must slay 80 Bunkyner Cultists to stop the Priestess. You dispatch the Cultists without much trouble but as you return to the Priestess you see that she stares into space not hearing or seeing you. You ask her to stop and free the Guard Captain but she continues on, a tear running down her cheek. You have no idea what compulsion she is under, but the Village depends on the Guard Captain. You slowly draw your weapon, and cut the Priestess down where she stands. You hear more footfalls behind you, turning you are relieved to see the Guard Captain running towards you. He comes to a sudden halt at the dead Priestess at your feet. You shrug and say, 'It was the only way I could get her to stop.' His eyes are wide with horror, 'Cassandra...' He chokes back tears, ' I have known her for years, why was she doing this? I was sure you could simply tell her to stop.' You tell him that she appeared not to be in control of herself. The Guard Captian draws his sword, 'Come Warrior whatever has done this will pay. There is a Cellar under the Temple, we should investigate it. Meet me there.

Stage 6 Minimum Level: 1310 Location:Bunkyner Village (Cellar) (8, 4) Required Item: None Required Kills: 1 x Aumku Hotkar (Elite)

The Guard Captain wipes back tears from his eyes, 'I can't believe that Cassandra is gone. Whatever is doing this must be here, Find it and kill it.' He nods dumbly, 'What was it?' You tell him that the Clerics had summoned a Demon to kill the coming threat of the Orcs, but it looks like it dominated them and was using the Temple Priests for it's own schemes. The Guard Captain sighs, 'So we are now weakened against the Ogzoggin Orcs. At least the end will not be long now.' You squint at the Captain and say, 'I have been through Ogzoggin, and the Orcs there seem to be more interested in drinking huge quantities of Boiling Blood rather than overrunning you. I'm not saying that they are not a threat. But I don't think it's imminent. They are still building up their forces and seem to be expanding their territory within the Forest at the moment. They are planning to attack, but they are not ready yet.' The Captain looks at his feet, 'That would be a true blessing. I will send some Hunters to investigate. The Priests of the Temple received revelations at warned of an Orc invasion, but I see now that this Demon has been whispering it's lies for a long time. I must thank you for all your help Warrior, please take this Bunkyner Shield as reward for all your effort. Is there anything I can do for you?' You are about to shake your head when you suddenly remember, 'Actually yes, there is a merchant and his family being held in the Compound. Can you release them, they are simple Traders not servants of the Shadow Lord.' The Captain looks shocked, 'I never heard any of this, I shall have them released immediately. I better do that now. Be well Warrior.' You receive 15,433,113 Xp + 1 x Bunkyner Shield
