The Return of the King

It has been a long time since this Lugian has seen the light of day. But I am awakened. I look for my Turret and my tools but to no avail. I am dressed in simple clothes, not the warrior clothes I remember.

I walk and meet a human that talks about changes in the world. He treats me like a child and guides me to completing some simple tasks. I do not tell him, but I am glad he forced me to complete the tasks as they help bring back memories.

A few minutes later, I am walking into a portal. A PORTAL! It's a sickening feeling at first but I recover quickly.

I meet an explorer and he tasks me with visiting some obelisks. A few portal hops later, I return and he rewards me. He asks me to visit Arwic and to speak with the Overseer.

The Overseer of Arwic of a drudge invasion. They have taken hold in the nearby Arwic Mines. He asks that I go and kill drudges and hopefully return with a hammer which he will use to show me the ways of crafting.

I head towards the Arwic Mines, killing lesser beasts as I go until I encounter the dreaded Hunter Shreths. I lunge fiercely at a Shreth that strayed too close. We engage in battle and shortly, I find myself at the lifestone. WTF?

I do what all Lugians would do... I return and attack the beast. We trade blows as our blood mingles in the fray of combat and soon again.... Lifestone. 

This time, I decide it is not the right time and skirt around the Hunter Shreths. I make it to the mines and I descend. I engage drudges after drudges and finally I am able to slay one that had the hammer that I need for my quest.

I return to the Overseer and he teaches me how to craft. He tasks me with creating a sword. I head to the forge and create the sword as instructed. It is not a bad sword for my first attempt and the overseer is pleased. He grants me the Shaper's Guide, a book containing great knowledge of crafting skills. As a final task, he asks that I visit his friend the Miller of Kehan.

I set out to meet this Miller and take the Gateway to Kehan.
