A Wizard's Retreat Report
General Summary
Previously: Downtime around Leilon
Setting out the next morning, the party use the map passed to them by the tiefling (Tan'uzivel Polir, previously known as Redbrow,) to locate a small ruined house on the north side of a hill in the swamps north of Leilon. Their careful scouting reveals some sources of magic, but they set off a warding spell that surrounds the area in fog and webs. They talk to a morose zombie who is being empowered by a purple lamp, who turns out to be an ex-friend of Anathema's.
Elf, the human thug leader of the Steelshard gang has been turned into a zombie and unwilling guard by the wizard Albrek. He relates his sad tale of crime and cruelty, seemingly remorseful of his choices now that he is dead. He was killed and raised, and has been kept as an intelligent undead (with the purple lamp) so that he could use magic scrolls to refresh the wards if they were triggered.
After talking to Anathema, Elf decides to take a little revenge on Albrek. Having been ordered specifically to guard the house, he is able to discuss Albrek's actual hideaway, (hidden inside a fancy magic mirror demiplane,) and is able to push the mirror to where the party can haul it out of the building without going against Elf's given orders.
Before Anathema leaves, Elf asks her to do him a favour.
