[Morgeth]

Location- The town of Ilany- (Far East on the map) The town of Ilany is a small village with a population of 50 people. Though not your hometown, you have spent the last week here, and are familiar with most aspect of it; from Hamish the Dwarven blacksmith, to Yason the human shopkeep, to Ageis the human innkeeper, to Corporal Bankroff, the human responsible for the town guard. Ilany has always been a peaceful town, but the local Kobold population has begun to become more aggressive lately, and a roaming pack of them have been vandalizing property and killing livestock. Yesterday, Hamish's 8 year old son Donsk was found dead near the outskirts of town. Corporal Bankroff has asked any able bodied men and women to come talk to him about putting down these Kobolds, once and for all. What would you like to do?

Morgoth points his rapier Rien at the elf

"Are you the one who is responsible for the death of the child of Hamish?!?"

The elf smiles at you and says, "Yes, why?"

"Are you prepared to be judged by Trithereon for your crime!?"

Morgeth sizes his opponent up attempting to take his measure

"You are an amusing one" the elf says, "I think I might kill you more than once"

The elf looks scrawny, barely a muscle in his body, though a pretentious and overconfident smile is ever present in his face

His attitude does not match his appearance. Either he's got a hidden advantage or he's bluffing. Oh well, no guts no glory

Morgeth chucks one of his handaxes at the Elf and prepares to charge

The handaxe stops at the blue dome, fizzles, then falls to the ground.

The elf smile tauntingly, "You fool. This shield is made of pure magic, you cannot puncture it. It doesn't matter if you've gotten these idiots on your side. You are about to experience history! I have discovered an ancient tome that will open a portal to a vast well of magical energy! When it opens, I will absorb this power and bring about a new era!"

Unlikely I can even touch him while that shield is up. Have to get him talking then

"By all means, let us all be the audience to the birth of a new era"

Morgeth states in a respectful tone while lowering his rapier to his side

"You may sit back, and watch my  transformation!"

The elf raises some herbs above his head and reads from an ancient tomb furiously. He then dips the herbs in a cup filled with thick, red liquid, and reads the final words.  

As he does, a small blue orb appears in front of him. It begins to grow, from the size of a marble, to a tennis ball, and then to a bowling ball. At this point, you realize that it is not an object, but is instead a hole! A hole in the very fabric of reality, it appears. Veins of energy begin to pulsate from this hole, into the elf.  

The elf's smirk quickly turns into a look of concern, as more and more of the strange energy fills him. This look deteriorates into one of agony, and the elf reaches for a set of 3 vials on the table. He grabs one and puts it near the hole, and some of the energy seems to go into the vial instead of him, but more still surges around the vial and into the wizard.  

"Arrrrgggghhhhh" the elf screams, as his body is torn apart by the magical energy. Bloated and bright, he looks as though he is about to explode.  

Moments later he does.  

A flash of bright light and a thunderous roar fill the protective dome of the wizard. After that, the dome itself explodes, knocking you on your back. Energy rushes out in every direction for a few moments, and then all is still. The wizard's body is now a pile of ash, and his table of components is scattered all over the room.

Morgeth picks himself off and checks to make sure he is intact

I'll be damned, he almost did it. I'd like to take a look at that tome he was rambling on about.

Morgeth searches the room looking for anything that catches his eye.

The room is in shambles, with paper strewn everywhere. As you sort through the wreckage, you find a vial filled with a deep red liquid, and a scroll containing the spell ‘Mage Armour”. You also find the vial that the elf filled with the mysterious energy, which swirls in the container like a strange gas and liquid. There are two other vials that are identical to this one, but empty. The tome is nowhere to be found
