Smoke and Ashes

Description

What happened? I’m alive – but how? Did Brencis turn me or not? And where’s my family? I need to find them, and soon.

Objectives

Objective	Text
Go to Laslea with Anca	I need to find out what happened to my family, where to look for them.
Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier	Anca taught me something – I now know a spell that can make the dead talk. I find it hard to believe… But let’s try.
Find items of importance to the dead soldier	The dead soldier spoke – but briefly, haltingly. Anca says I need to find objects the deceased man either owned or was looking at as he passed.
Search your family home	Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there’s someone there – hiding?
Remove the rubble blocking the gate	My family has been captured – and time is running out. I need to act. First obstacle – the rubble blocking my way out of Laslea’s ruins.
Return to Anca	No sign of my family. What I am supposed to do now? I’d better consult with Anca.
Search your family home	Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there’s someone there – hiding?
Go to the village gate	I won’t find anything more in Laslea – I need to get out of here.
Cast Compel Soul on the dead soldier and use the catalysts	Anca said that those items of importance might make the corpse talk a bit more. Time to see for myself if that’s true.
