Illustrator: Derek Herring Reward Card Turtleshell Helm (1F14) Lore Game Start Lore In the dead night Fippy leads you up the rocky path to Neesrat's lair. Dim light glows from the entrances of the Gnoll burrows in the distance, while up ahead foul smoke rises in the moonlight through the gnarled, twisted limbs of the Vulture Root. What horrible rites is the seer conducting? As you approach, Fippy's hackles rise and he hisses in alarm, drawing his blade and crying, 'BBBBAAAARRRKKKK!!!!! Ambush!' From all sides the grim, scarred visages of Orc warriors rise from the rocks, their blades glittering in the night. Ahead, a large Ogre looms forward, covered in a large cloak and bearing a mighty staff -- it's Neesrat! 'You fools' he sneers, 'these Gnoll rats may have failed me, but now you face the might of sharp Orc steel! Kill them all!' Slay your opponent's avatar or complete four quests to win the game. Game Win Lore You forge ahead through the field of fallen and dying Orcs to the foot of the Vulture Root where Neesrat has made his final stand. Bereft of his magic and his forces routed, he weakly tries to defend himself with his wooden staff, which shatters before your final blow. 'A plague upon you and all your race!' Neesrat spits as he slumps in defeat. 'There is more than enough room in the Land of the Dead for the lot of you! You have defeated Neesrat the Shaman! Game Loss Lore Fire explodes all around you, temporarily illuminating the plains with the light of day. The sparks and smoke sting your eyes and you lift your arm to block the fiery burst. Suddenly, Neesrat and his Orcs are upon you! A crippling blow from an Orc blade tears your weapon from your hands. Unarmed and surrounded, you see the grinning face of Neesrat in the firelight. He motions the Orcs to grab your wrists and bring you over to the Vulture Root. As much as you try to struggle, there is no way to break free from their grips of blade iron. As they tie you to the tree, Neesrat draws forth a dagger as cruel and curved as his smile. 'You will make a splendid sacrifice for the Gods of the Dark!' You have been defeated by Neesrat the Shaman.
