Khail & Michael

You are Khail, a wizard living in the kingdom of Larion. You have a staff and a spellbook. You finish your long journey and finally arrive at the ruin you've been looking for. You look around and see that it's not much different than when you left it. The only thing is now you can use its magic to help you on your quest.
You head inside and find yourself in a large library filled with books

> You you look for a necromancy book.


You pick up a book from one of the shelves and begin reading it. It looks like a simple book about necromancy. Nothing out of the ordinary. You continue reading until you come across a section about summoning a ghost

> You you read the summoning a ghost section.


The next page has a picture of a skeleton holding a skull. You recognize this as a summoning circle. This seems very interesting so you open the book and start reading the first few pages

> You you read the book and try summoning a ghost.


You cast your mind over your surroundings. The room is dimly lit by candles that hang from the ceiling. There is a table with several bottles on top of it. On the table sits a skeleton holding a skull. He looks at you and smiles

> You you talk with the skeleton.


"Hello, I am a human named John Smith".

"I'm sorry to hear about your friend's death".



> You you say "well met john smith, my objective is to revive my friend".


"Hmm, yes, I can see that. Good luck with that, but I don't think you'll succeed".

"How do you know all this?"



> You you say "i will not stop trying, and you will help me with it".


"Well, if you insist, then I suppose I can help you. But be warned, I won't be able to bring him back".

You smile and nod, and walk towards the table. As you get closer to the table, you notice something strange

> You you inspect the table further.


As you approach the table, you realize that there is an odd symbol etched into the surface of the table. You turn around and stare at the symbol, which now appears to glow brighter than before. A voice begins to emanate from the symbols surface

> You you listen to the voice.


A voice begins to emanate from the surface of the table.

> You you keep listening to the voice.


The voice continues to speak.

> You you say "who are you?".


"My name is Zal".

> You you say "Zal i wish to revive my friend".


"Yes, I understand. So how long does it take?"

> You you ask John Smith "How long does the ritual take?".


"It takes anywhere between 3-5 hours depending on how skilled you want to make the ritual".

> You you respond Zal "it takes around 5 hours".


"Good, good, well I guess we should get started".

> You you start preparing for the ritual.


You stand up and prepare yourself for the ritual. You sit down and close your eyes, while your mind tries to focus on the ritual. After a few minutes, you feel a tingling sensation throughout your body. You grab your staff and begin chanting

> You you focus on summoning your friend's spirit.


You chant as hard as you can, hoping that you can summon your friend's spirit. Eventually, you feel a presence within you. You begin to concentrate harder, hoping that you can sense the spirit. Finally, you feel the spirit enter your body. You release a small laugh and smile

> You you ask "is this really my friend Michael?".


"Yes, he is".

> You you try to communicate with the spirit.


You attempt to communicate with the spirit. You try to tell the spirit what you need to do to resurrect your friend. You find that the spirit is extremely hostile towards you.

> You you try to tame the spirit.


You try to calm the spirit down. You explain to the spirit that you will do anything to save your friend. You try to convince the spirit that you are right. However, the spirit still refuses to cooperate.

> You use a soul bind spell to make the spirit obey you.


You decide to use a soul bind spell to force the spirit to follow you. You quickly cast the spell and the spirit immediately obeys. You then place your hand upon the spirit's head and command it to follow you. You begin walking through the forest

> You you order to spirit to do what it need in order to revive your friend.


You instruct the spirit to go to the graveyard where you found the bones of your friend. You also instruct the spirit to stay there until you return. You soon arrive at the graveyard and find your friend's remains. You then tell the spirit to wait for you

> You you grab your friend's remain.


You grab your friend's remains and begin to carry them back to the summoning circle. You then leave the cemetery. You suddenly feel a pain in your chest and collapse to the ground. You begin to bleed profusely and vomit blood. You struggle to breathe and cry out for help

> You you cast a healing spell on yourself.


You cast a healing spell on yourself. You begin to regain consciousness. You look around and see that you are lying on the floor of the library. You slowly sit up and see that you are in a large chamber. In front of you is a large stone altar

> You you put your friend's remains on the stone altar.


You put your friend's remains on the stone altar. You then kneel down and pray to Rovagug for his aid. Suddenly, you feel a surge of energy come through your body. You gasp and scream as you feel your strength returning. You begin to run forward

> You you begin the ritual to revive your friend.


You begin the ritual to revive your friend. You begin to chant as loud as you can. Soon, you feel a strong desire to perform the ritual. You begin to feel the urge to touch the stone altar and the air itself. You begin to feel very tired. You fall asleep

> You you wake up.


You awaken to find yourself lying on the floor of the library. You look around and see that you are in a large chamber. In front of you is a large stone altar. On top of the altar sits a skeleton holding a staff. He looks at you and smiles

> You you ask "Are you my friend Michael?".


"I am, yes".

> You you exclaim "Michael! It's been a long time since i last saw you" and you hug the skeleton.


"What happened? What did you do to me?"

> You you explain "i've been searching for years for a way to revive you, and i finally succeeded".


"Wait...you revived me?! How?!"

> You you say "necromancy".


"Necromancy".

> You you say "Yes, it was the only way, you're finally back now".


"Well, thanks for saving me from death".

> You you say "you're welcome my friend, unfortunately you're stuck with a skeletal body for now".


"Hmm, ok, I'll be fine, but why didn't you just let me die? Why did you resurrect me?"

> You you say "Why, you ask? My friend, you and me still have a lot of unfinished business, lots of lost scrolls to discover, spells to learn, mysteries of the universe to unravel, we're not yet done with the living realm".


"Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'm glad you're here, I'd hate to lose you again".

> You you say "me too my friend, me too, now let's depart, our next goal is to get you a real, living body".


> You you say "well, if that's what you want, I suppose we'll get to work on that later, but for now, let us spend some time together".

> You you say "that too of course! We have a lot of catching up to do".


> You you say "so what's next?"
> You say "we should talk about the future, we have a lot of things to discuss".

> You the end.
