Shackled City: ECL 14 Osiris Eloah Elf Generalist Wizard: Entry 33

I can't believe we are alive! Survived, but barely. We now have conformation that the mayor is not who he claims to be. How far does this conspiracy travel within the confines of the town? Who is behind it all? Maybe the most wealthy families in town or the Beholder from the past? Or even a sadistic group of doppelgangers. No matter, I believe we are on the right track and will soon put an end to this madness!

Shackled City: ECL 13 Osiris Eloah Elf Generalist Wizard: Entry 32

Silence, all around me. What is this sensation I feel? Warmth, like a mothers embrace? No, simply death. The cold dead, hand of the Reaper. But I know it's not my time. Thanks to the faith of the Cleric, it wasn't. With a second chance at life, believe me, I'll make the most of it. Tremble, if you are my enemy!

DM Entry: Shackled City

We left the game on a cliffhanger.

What is the fate and condition of the real Osiris that we all have come to know and love?

While we are on the topic of Osiris, what is the fate of the fake Osiris that we thought we knew? How long has he been the fake Osiris? And who is he really?

The party finds themselves in a cold environment, on a ledge in a now-quiet room where they had only moments ago been fighting against a dracolich. Its bones now littering the unseen depths below the ledge. A dark place where Osiris also lays, his crumpled body shackled in a cage, desiccated, malnutritioned, and otherwise abused. Alive? Its hard to say, but when we last had eyes on him, he was alive.

Within the lingering light provided by some spell cast by Korinth the cleric of Pelor for the battle against the dracolich, metallic glints reflect back from the darkness below. Undoubtedly the dragon's hoard and the cage where the real Osiris' body now lies.

At the last moment of the battle, when dead silence falls upon the area and cloistering darkness threatens to envelop all within the chamber, a single verbal component rings out as the fake Osiris vanishes from sight, no doubt teleporting to some unknown place of safety. With any luck it will be a season and a day before he shows his face (or anyone else's face) around the party again.


Bonus magic item to be discovered within the hoard:
Leave a comment on this blog post describing your idea about the condition/fate of the real Osiris AS WELL AS your thoughts on when the fake Osiris joined the party. If you do, you will have a chance to Dice-Off for a special magic item that lies within the dracolich's hoard. Dice-Off will happen after the hoard is claimed by the party.
