After reading the signpost in the entrance of [[Kur Tower]].
{{Spoiler|
:What is it?
:'''I saw your sign in the tower near here.'''
:Yes. What of it?
:'''The sign said you'd tell me more about it in person.'''
:Well... I killed a necromancer there long ago. I foolishly turned myself in for the murder and was imprisoned for fifty years. I was released last year and came to see my handiwork and... I don't think he's completely dead.
:'''You saw him alive?'''
:No, but there's zombies wandering around--just like the frozen zombies I helped him create decades ago. But damn it, I burned him alive, and I felt his life force ebb. I must be mistaken. He ''can't'' be alive.
:'''Why did you kill him?
:He was a necromancy necrophiliac. He forced the dead to live in their rotting bodies so that he could have animated... play things. All necromancers are worthless scum, but he was even worse than most.
:
:I was his apprentice, and he made me freeze his zombies so that they wouldn't rot while he... and he...
:(Landri seems at a loss for words, but forces herself to speak)
:
:He would fuck them right in front of me. I was practically a child! Watching the zombies scream in anger and despair, and he laughed and laughed, and...
:
:(Landri seems lost in thought, her brow furrowed angrily)
:'''I see.'''
:And then I spent fifty years in a misery box as punishment, because there's no law against necromancy among elves!
:
:Elves live a long time, so I will eventually get over my prison term, I suppose. But not right now. I must focus on my ice magic. It's the only thing that matters. But this man may still be alive. And that gnaws at me!
:'''Is there anything I can do?'''
:I can't bring myself to go in there and see if he's alive. I'm not ready. But I can't let you go get yourself killed, either. If you went alone, you would surely die, and he would do terrible things with your corpse. So no, I can't let you go.
:'''What if I promise to bring a couple of friends?'''
:Hm. Well, if you have powerful friends, I suppose... very well. You will need this. It will let you get past the icy barrier I concocted, deep within the lair. Let each of your friends use it, too.
:'''Okay. What's past the barrier?'''
:Once you're past the barrier, you should quickly come to a dead end. That's where I left his corpse. If he's dead, wonderful. If he's not, fix it. Bring back his skull.
:'''Grisly!'''
:Yes. But don't worry. He's already officially dead. I spent fifty years in prison for the crime. You're just... making sure I can sleep at night.
:'''Okay. I'll do it. Bye!'''
