IC: The book recovered from the last outting Options

[DavidFisher]

It turned out to be a mix of ancient scripts with 3-4 versions used through the ages

Some / many numbers still elude me

Added into this the torn pages made it challenging

Suggest you have a read and we identify any key takeaways

I, Edryrd g e n e r a l
Of t h e f o r c e s o f
L I f e and p r a i s e
B e t h e v I c t o r in
The war with
Mephisto and his
l e g I o n s of
undeath leave
this tome for
future
generations of
the living. We have
only just
managed to
overthrow
mephisto and cage
his counsellors
and whilst the
wards erected to
restrain them are
strong I fear
they will not
last until the
end of time,
I have compiled my
Notes of their
Weaknesses and
Will leave a
Volume of each
Within their
Prisons shielded
From their sight
So should they
Escape our
Descendants may
Have a chance to
Win through. I will
Place duplicates
In libraries
Across the realms
Just in case.
Dzomdaq is, I fear
The greatest
Threat, our wards
Are unlikely to
Restrain his
Mental powers
Fully and his
Insidious
Influence may
Well lead to the
Opening of his
Crypt cum prison

D_omda_ is a lich
And the neuronic
Power he wielded in
Life before
Mephisto turned
Him to the way of
Undeath survived
The transformation.
He was ever able
To wield his power
Through other
Undead “minds”
Around him so
Any foray to
Face him would be
Well advised to be
Shielded from
Those powers.

As a lich he is
Shielded by many
Shells of
Protection which
Must be broken
Before he himself
Can be affected,

These shells were
The shell of the
Soul; the shell
Of the dragons;
The shell of the
Mind: the shell of
The gods: the
Shell of the
Archer; the shell
Of the souls
Force: the shell
Of the wizard;
The shell of the
Gods breath.

As we dealt with
Each when we
Imprisoned him we
Were able to
Insert a flaw
Into each which
Should make them
Susceptible in
The future
