In a dark cave, hidden beneath Peaks of Degredation, two shadows intersect... "How do we go about such a thing? How do you propose we bring down men of honor?" "The darker of the two shaded figures confidently replied "Why you corrupt them by the very virtues they so blindly follow. You make their own honor their curse!" The first man began to laugh but stopped short... "but to make such a curse of which you speak, one must be devoid of..." before he could finish vocalizing his epiphany the glint a small dagger sunk deep into his ribs. "Hmmm yes? What was that now Mordecai? You were just saying how much it would please you to be a willing sacrifice?" The man took a step to the side and grimaced as he avoided the blood that now gurgled and sputtered from Mordecai's mouth as he collapsed to the dirt. "Do not fear brother, in death your soul will be bound to serve our master," he laughed and then continued his discourse with an even darker and unseen shadow, "I shall personally see this curse is crafted flawlessly and delivered to Paws."
Usually the captives he rescued repaid him in coin and with a blessing of compassion, but Catalin had never before received a magical scroll as a favor. He spun the scroll between his palms. The man had said the scroll was priceless and that it would fetch a handsome offer at any mage shop. But somehow it just didn't set right with him. He had hoped Jupiter would be able to examine it but Old Gungir had sent reply by raven telling him to seek council from the realm of OoO. He slung his bow over his shoulder and set out for the land of unending adventure.
"Under no circumstances are you to allow him to leave your realm before I am able to contain the curse" - Jupiter With an extra bit of exuberance, The warriors of the land of OoO carried out Jupiter's quest flawlessly. Upon learning of Catalin's fate, all of the warriors in the land bound together and led an assault force that the mountains of Disgrace shall not soon forget! Jupiter was able to contain the curse, but only temporarily, by drawing out the curse into his own body. In order to destroy the curse it would have to be given back to those who drafted it's shameful verses! Before the curse could take hold of Jupiter, he told the wise King of OoO what items were needed. Catalin barely had enough time to gather his things for the warriors of OoO were gone! They wasted no time in seeking out the necessary items to heal Jupiter.
