On the pleasant island of Phylothea an unexpected party occurred. Gathered together by the sharp eyed poet Nothon, the adventurers were summoned to the Crescent Moon Inn. Whether it would end in success or failure, the great storyteller knew the tale would be worth the effort.

First to arrive was the elven Monk of no name. Free of artificial constraints she knew the universe would provide. The nameless monk was followed by Nelly Bly, a noted recorder of the truth.

Here, elven eyes led to the discovery of a secret door. Behind the secret door was the undead power that drove the mysterious mechanical stairs. Also, the naked elven monk misread the universe and ended the undead existence of a poor slave.
