The unthinkable has happened! The allied attack through the Wastelands has failed utterly, leaving the Acolytes alone and leaderless. Now, when they are within sight of Llovar’s citadel, the battle-weary troops are ambushed in their camp by a large Uthuk patrol.
The Acolytes know they have but once chance to survive this encounter. Along their journey through the Wastelands, they have been seeding their path with magical Daqu stones, which serve as beacons for Gate Spells. If the Acolytes can cast a Gate Spell, they will all be teleported to the nearest Daqu stone — two days’ journey south of here, and safe from the ambushing Uthuk.
Unfortunately, casting a Gate Spell of this magnitude is no simple task. While some of the Acolytes fight for their survival, the others must ignore the battle and perform the proper rituals, thus energizing the Gate. But energizing the Gate takes time, and for the struggling Acolytes, time is running out.
