Blurb[]
- The enigmatic aliens known as the Old Ones have returned to planet Pyris VII. They came here as explorers, to learn more about our universe and the beings that live within it.
- Unfortunately, they have been imprisoned by the Devidians. These powerful energy beings may be seeking to use the technology of the Old Ones to conquer and feed on other life forms.
- Give the Old Ones the assistance they need.
Summary[]
A five-officer team of captains is asked by Yenvep to liberate Old Ones taken prisoner by the Devidians in Castle Pyris. The Devidians, led by a Devidian lord, are hiding in the Inner Sanctum of the castle. To open the path to them, Yenvep tasks the away team to collect a bell, book and a candle. The team moves through the castle, assisting the Ghostly Librarian to return books to their shelves in the library, and rescuing the Old Ones Holuk and Livia. They come under attack from animate skeleton, divided between dark skeleton and skeleton warrior forces under the skeleton lord, and a coven of witches, led by the elder witches and a hag.
