Shurkroat felt he need to fill them on on what he knew, and replied calmly "Actually, a young girl named Maura was playing with a cursed crown, and summoned a storm of blood. Then her and some other townsfolk were drug off by some undead. That rune you just traveled through, the rune of the undying, was used a lot by a cult that was extinguished by the holy knights over a century ago. We don't know for sure if the cult is back or if Maura just awakened some of the cults magic in that crown. Either way we plan on traveling to the netherworld to try and save as many of the townsfolk as possible. Never the less It's been a very strange day that just keeps getting stranger."
