Sanibonani! Umlingo at your service. Who has the pleasure of meeting the future 'King of Knaves'? Krystallia holds many secrets and with secrecy comes hidden treasure. No, I'm not talking about mere gold, but magical amulets, weapons which are attuned to the elements, and other items that have been previously seen as myth. Unfortunately, in the search of one particular lore, I find myself captive by a beautiful, but intimidating, noblewoman of the Sumerki Elves. How can I rid myself of an enchanted tower? Alas, I must shake the hands of a Teufel and become indebted to a devil!

Umlingo the Rogue Warlock

"Aye, boss," the smelly one calls out. "Maybe our new 'friend' would like to help move our haul."


"Negative," Averill replies with a scowl. "The elf would require the use of his hands. I'm not willing to risk his escape." 


The underling glares towards me. I shrug my shoulders. 'I would have already left them in the night if it wasn't for their watch.' My thought crosses with a sense of disappointment. The odds are against me at the moment. Even the pudgy one would put up a fight if I sprint away from their party.
