And so, after saving the local region from [i]Drath'tuthan the Greater Wraith[/i] and his brainwashed cult, Second Chance were heralded heroes by all those the lands around.  Storytellers and writers would spread their great deed from village to village and town to town, putting yet another tale in circulation of the current culture, gossip and news of [i]Northern Central Mytheria[/i].

With Zigmund Mugba-Zarak finally dead, the Heroes from the Sky would finally be rid of their persistent nemesis.  Although, James Sirius' use of the [i]Lathop Blessing[/i] might mean that the Elite Agent of General Saladin's Scout Force will live on in another way.

Antonius, the village elder in Cherrad sent news down to the village that Jon Gringot, former priest of the Temple of Hades, was dead.  Instructions were that a new temporary priest was needed, until the necessary organization of the religious heirachy could be re-established.  Antonius therefore named one of Cherrad's own devout worshippers to hold the position.  All of this, the wily old man did ahead of time, and so by the time Second Chance were off Temple Hill and back in Cherrad, a scribe had already written up a missive, asking for the blessing from Valhiem's High Septum, Areleth, for this emergency declaration.

Antonius recieved the rolled-up parchment from the scribe when he entered the village, and before Second Chance could leave, he asked a favor of Barracker Kassel.

"Sir Paladin," Antonius bowed his head, forcing a respectful tone to Barracker.  It was not he was scared or hateful of Barracker for being afflicted with vampirism.  Barracker had proven himself a heroic man and carried himself with an air more noble than half of those who would dub themselves 'nobility.'  It was just that, with all of the stories of vampires that went around, it was a litle unnerving to be in the Paladin's presence.  And it was extremely weird to know that this vampire was a righteous and noble Paladin of the Church and devout servant of Hades.  "I beg of you one last kindness, if you would allow:  Please deliver this missive to the Temple of the Quinity."  He explained to Barracker what it was for.  "It is probably more than necessary, but it would relieve an old man's heart to know that the High Septum is aware of our crisis here."

Antonius bowed his thanks and bid Barracker well.

The flat-bed wagon, used for transporting felled trees or finished lumber, was now transporting Second Chance all the way back to Valhiem.  The roads in Northern Central Mytheria were well paved and wide enough that Clive Michel could easily ride his own horse alongside the large vehicle, if he chose to.  If not, then he and the rest of the adventurers could lounge together while a wagon driver made sure they were en route to the big city.

They would arrive at Valhiem early afternoon, but for now, they could enjoy a moment's peace together, and the beautiful mountains, streams and evergreens of Northern Central Mytheria as the wagon rolled down the road.
