"All right, here's what it is: There's a reason the Drowned Nations are called<br />

that. There's a magic bottle that never s<strong>to</strong>ps its flow, a decanter, hidden in<br />

the Drowned Nations catacombs. You get that, and you got all the fresh<br />

water you'll ever need."<br />

"You mean this one?" I pulled it from my pack, holding it <strong>be</strong>fore his dead,<br />

motionless eyes.<br />

"Wha- oh cripes. I'm sorry I can't <strong>of</strong>fer you anything else <strong>to</strong> thank you...<br />

wait! Someone <strong>do</strong>wn here might know how <strong>to</strong> get the command word... a<br />

guy by the name <strong>of</strong>-"<br />

"Glyve? Face in the wall, speaks like he's got a mouth full <strong>of</strong> molasses?"<br />

"Powers above, I feel so useless."<br />

I shook my head, "No. I needed <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> reminded that I still have a few things<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>do</strong> here. Thanks, Chad. Rest in peace."<br />

could always drag up the memories from his bones, but there was no need<br />

arse-hole!"<br />

"We have some obligations, Morte."<br />

Such as revenge against a certain vargouille swarm that had killed me<br />

earlier.<br />

By now the population must've <strong>be</strong>en decimated. Those few scattered pests<br />

would have <strong>to</strong> kill a lot more Buried Villagers <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong>come a real threat again.<br />

Hopefully I could warn those vultures away by telling them that the Dead<br />

Nations protected these warrens.<br />

I sifted through the scattered bones <strong>of</strong> the <strong>do</strong>zens <strong>of</strong> adventurers that<br />

must've <strong>be</strong>en slain here. Most <strong>of</strong> their goods were damaged, but an<br />

exquisite pair <strong>of</strong> punch-daggers still looked good.<br />
