Jordan Jurrel called the guards to British Castle with the intention to get an update on the Ophidian invasion but this had to wait as he had heard that 3 more meteors had struck Sosaria. Whilst he sent Erisk to investigate these he received news that some Guards he had set to watch the Skara Brae crater had been murdered, with one guard muttering with his dieing breath how a twisted creature had hacked a part of the crystal off and disappeared into a nearby gate. With great concern as to what this other world crystal fragment could be used for Commander Jurrel opened a gate in the Palace forecourt to the Skara Brae crater, and it was not long before the Guards had located a gate to the north. Leading everyone through the gate to a building east of Yew Crossroads below Stone Keep the guards soon discovered tracks leading west toward the crossroad. With ambushes of undead along the road the guards proceeded west till they came upon the crossroads where the Corrupted Lich summoned more undead to his aid as well as a Lich Minion which had the form of a bone demon although red and its powers of destruction was a lot greater.
The guards swept through the most of the things summoned although the Lich Minion caused many casualties amongst the them. Once the Minion was finally defeated it was realised that the Corrupted Lich had made its escape through an unnatural red gate it had ripped open to the dark facet. With concern that we would be under attack from others from that facet and with probable spies from there within the Guard Commander Jurrel had no choice but to follow the greater threat to Sosaria and lead the Guards forward.
Once there the Guard was set upon by more undead and it was not long before the Corrupted Lich started to call upon the powers of the crystal it had taken. Commander Jurrel called out a warning that if it continued it would cause disaster, already the gate it had made was bleeding the place dry, he shouted to the Lich “You must stop this! That crystal! We do not know what it can do!”. But the Corrupted Lich just responded with “I shell use it to crush you all!” But everyone watched as the Corrupted Lich held his head and stated “But… something’s is not… right. Noooooooooooo! I control you! You do not control me!” At this moment the Guards was beset by residents of the facets called in by the spy amongst us or this evil force. The Guards now faced these ones along with a hideous creature with devastating abilities.
Any within sight of it would be hit by ooze that scorched them and set ablaze there equipment. Not only this it had the ability to make a cacophonic sound that froze those that heard it momentarily leavening them easy targets for the resident of the facet. It took some time for the Guards to finally defeat the creature and return battered but triumphant back through the torn Moongate to Yew Crossroads. Commander Jurrel then lead everyone back to Castle British and thanked them for helping him to retrieve the crystal and save Sosaria from the Corrupted Lich. Commander Jurrel was concerned at the power that the crystal held but felt the Guards deserved to wear the emblem of the Royal Britannian Guard and lead them through a gate to the Star room. Once there he summoned everyone one by one and bestowed the sash on them, sending them through a gate behind him to his office.
Commander Jurrel left the Guards with the orders to seek out 3 new meteor craters and to watch the palace very carefully for his return very soon. The Guards set about his orders immediately. With Clara Mhor finding a crater soon after finding the first crater on the beach of Magincia.
Note: I sadly had to leave Fel before the beast died as being the dangerous bard that I am I was continually PKed, so that I could not stay till the death of the Lich. So please if anyone can fill anything in that I missed I would be grateful.
