Searching the world for the lich actually reveals... nothing. It takes him quite a bit of time and research to discover the truth; while the heroes did not destroy the phylactery, one of the lich's lieutenants had been waiting for such an opportunity, and managed to get away, to where the phylactery was hidden. Once the lich was slain, he seized the phylactery, and attempted to use it to blackmail the regenerating lich. The two got into a disagreement, and he was forced to kill the lich again, but was fatally wounded himself. To keep anyone else from using the lich's power, and out of petty spite, he shattered the phylactery, and destroyed the lich for good.<br/><br/>The crowd begins to murmur, as Draiss takes the story in a new direction, though there seems to be some approval, as he's making a creative reinterpretation of the famous story. Draiss will spot Tasoa, throughout the performance, speaking with several of his lieutenants, giving orders to be prepared for an attack; clearly, some sense has him on edge, even if he doesn't know where it will come from.
