For Andrion
The mage was not in the room, but his presence was ever-present in the entirety of the tower. The only being that was physically inside the throne room was a rotting corpse that held a bow of fine craftmanship in his possession. His name was now Grey, though he could no longer remember what it had been previously.
At the sign of Andrion coming into the room, the ju ju zombie drew up his bow, and waited in case his master were to give the signal to kill this trespasser.
Andrion spoke to the throne as though the Mage were sitting there, knowing that this was a showing of his understanding of his master's powers.
A voice did speak from the darkness within the room, more wispy than normal, but audible and understandable.
"My servant has rested well, and is now ready to be assigned to another labor. Very well. Go to a man by the name of Marcos, the Inquisitor. He waits for Larry at the tavern of the One-Eyed Wolf. Go in a disguise and spread false rumors of Larry to him, without letting him catching your persuasions. Make sure that when you are done, that he believes Larry to be a hazard to society.
One more thing. The three that travelled with you earlier are in the area as well. If they question you, I am sure you can come up with a believable excuse that Roderik overpowered you after you discovered that he was working for the Shadow Mage and you tried to rescue the candle from his grasp, but were too late.
I shall prepare a portal for you to come out near the place where the Inquisitor is.
Do this task well, and you will be rewarded.
Now go."
The voice stopped, but then a portal of darkness swirled into view in the center of the room.
The zombie lowered his bow and appeared to be nothing more than a dead man, standing.
