Sadly, when I ventured forth to the town of Delucia, I found that a spell had been put upon the town. The townsfolk were unresponsive to all forms of communication. So beaten down were they by their tyrant overseers that they didn't even care to respond. They were lil better than zombies and robots. The poor Mages weren't even allowed to leave their own huts, as the doors were guarded by their evil overlords bending them to their will. I tried to rescue them, but they wouldn't come out. It seemed like there was an invisible "wall" in the doorways of the hut. After all my efforts, one of them looked up at me and just begged me to end it. My heart breaking, I did just that. Farewell my fellow mages, I hope you're in a better place.
