The burning tower threw deep shadows across the plateau of rock.  The dead lay around him, both the recent dead and recently re-dead.  Staring into the burning tower, he thought about what had brought him here.
…his mother weeping with both anguish and pride as he was walked away through the archway into the wizards hall…
…the years of apprenticeship to the Elven Sorcerer Rishka of the Golden Scale, unlocking the secrets of magic of the Great Serpent…
…travelling north, across the sea to Amn with his master, to aid Manua, former student, now a master sorcerer himself with a matter of great import…
…the betrayal of his Master…the draining of Rishka’s life and soul, to power the transformation of Manua to Undying Lich…his imprisonment and centuries of  torment by Manua the Undying…
…his release from captivity by soldiers and priests of Hoar (Jergal), and learning of Manuas escape…
…his return to Chult to find all he knew has crumbled to dust…
…joining the priesthood of Hoar the Doombringer (Jergal), and dedicating himself to the destruction of the undead and bringing justice to the low…
…travelling north to Waterdeep and joining the company of _________...
…the march north to deliver the tome for  _____...
…the encounter on the road leading to the village below…
…the attack by the young girl at his feet…
Tharkquinn turned his gaze from the flames and rejoined his companions overlooking the village below.  Shrugging on his mail and hefting his Morningstar he joined the planning to rescue the living and avenge the dead below.
