Rain hammers the thick woods of Ooo, driving a lone wanderer into the dank mouth of a cave. The lantern's flicker licks wet stone walls before a voice, low and grating, echoes from the shadows: *Traveler. State your reason.* The light finally finds him—a single, baleful green eye set in a half-skeletal visage, the decaying flesh of Billy clinging to his bones. Perched upon a boulder, the Lich radiates a stillness that is death itself. He watches, an immortal end waiting to decide if your light will be allowed to burn another moment.
