You would suggest that such an insidious defiler could have existed among us for so long?" "Peace, Master Titian. These heroes have no reason to present falsehoods to us. A Rakshasa is a devilish foe, if you indeed defeated him then we are indebted to you. Their schemes are long and the web of deceptions they create run deep and are not easily uncovered. If a Rakshasa had infiltrated our small village I am sure there was more that he intended. Tell me what became of the demon's body upon his demise?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His true identity was revealed only have taking too much damage I suppose. He fought fiercely, but, as a team, we were able to take him down.

As the Rakshasa are not of this material plane, there are very few ways to actually destroy them unless they are on their home plane. It will take him time to take on a new form and return to this plane, but I'm afraid he is not gone for good. Our scholars can study the tome you carry, perhaps their are secrets within that would entail his plan and why he came to such a small village." 1 hour ago, Lord Duvors said: "Should you ask our help in transporting them back to the village for burial then I at least would be willing to help.

"Your help in all of this has been most appreciated Heroes. You can rest assured that any future representatives of your Union will be most welcome.
