“I know I have asked much of you already and I should not ask for more. I am in need of help once more.”
Arannis seems older now as if centuries of emotional weight have descended upon him. He moves across the room to a small box and works the puzzle lock that opens it. He turns and slowly walks to you, with a large silver key he pulled from the box.
“You will need this key to bring me the Allstone. The Vault has been warded against thieves so that only an archmage may enter without setting off traps and spells and well, no archmages seem to be up to the trip just now,”
His voice trails off and he pauses in the center of the room, “It is an otherworldly place…”
As if slapped, he abruptly straightens and walks the floor with purpose to hand you the key with a laugh, “I promise you, this is the last time I will ask you to save my life.”
The wizard walks to a nearby chair and falls into it, his energy reserves spent. He slowly raises a glass of wine in the air to toast, spilling some as he struggles to hold it steady.
“I wish you luck in your quest,” he says as he drains his glass, “but please hurry. Time is running out for me.”
