“There were a few rotting bodies with skeletons picked clean. Webs covered the entrances to the buildings, small spiders scuttled everywhere. The village bore no resemblance to the bustling township he had first seen on his arrival in the Settlements what felt like decades ago although it was just over a month. Alchemists from the Solar Flame sampled the water from the well and found it poisoned. Master Graydon and Lord Rhys conferred and ordered it burned to the ground. If nothing else, it gave... the alchemists an opportunity to test their creations before they were put seriously to use. It turned out that they had something more in mind. The mages marched around the town, marking a huge Elder Sign in the dirt with their staffs and inscribing complex runes at the points where the lines met. One of them and a number of bodyguards took up a position at each point of the star. As they did this, the alchemists entered the village with a retinue of warriors intended to kill the spiders. Prayers to the Holy Sun were invoked as the buildings were soaked in pitch black oil.MoreLessRead More Read Less
