Sir Elvick the Bold kicked in the door to the throne room, ready to fight the powerful necromancer. Imagine his surprise when he saw a young man sitting on the black iron throne, who couldn’t be older than a teenager.
The youth sighed. “Welcome to my mansion adventurer. Look, I’m not in the mood, so can you leave?”
Elvick had a confused look on his face. “I was told there was a powerful necromancer here, one from an ancient line of necromancers, who could cast powerful curses, raise armies of the undead, create undead dragons!”
The teen snorted, “That’s a new one.” Elvick cocked his head. “The dragon thing, that’s new. Also, bring out your party, its rude to not show yourself.”
Elvick hesitantly waved his party out, which consisted of Arc, the Elven storm mage, Ormr, the snake-man thief, Haio, the kind human cleric, and Elvick himself, a half-elf warrior.
The three that were hiding looked at the teen the same way Elvick did, and Ormr hissed. “I thought there was a powerful necromancer here!”
The teen sighed again. “Tall tales. I am a necromancer, but I am far from powerful. There is one true detail in those tall tales however. See if you can guess it.”
After a few guesses, Haio said, “I-Is it the fact that you’re from an ancient line of necromancers?”
The teen smiled. “Ding, ding, ding! I am in fact part of an ancient line of necromancers. But I’m not planning on doing anything evil, so if you all could leave that would be much appreciated.”
Arc glared. “What’s in it for us? What’s stopping us from killing you now?”

The teen thought a bit. “Where are you going next?”
Elvick answered, “Well, we have a contract to clear out an old castle, but I forget what it was called.”
Haio spoke up, “It was called Granite Castle!”
The teen clapped. “Perfect! I can help you out!” He waved the party to an armory. “What are your main weapons?”
“Sword and Shield”
“Daggers”
“Mace”
“Staff I guess?”
The teen handed each of them a shiny steel version of the weapons they listed. “Those are made of silversteel, hardy like steel and has silvers strength against were-beasts. Granite Castle is filled with werewolves, so those will make it easier. And you, snake-man, there’s some wolfsbane poison in the pommel”
The party mumbled a quick thanks and left. The teen smiled a bit, before several notifications popped up into his vision.
