MR 674 - Summer 

From the undead-infested waters of the Teufel, the Heroes emerge, but Ulrich is nowhere to be found. With time running out, and trusting in Ulrich's ability to swim like a fish, thanks to his enchanted sword, they press on towards Black Rock Citadel without the warrior.

Battling through waves of undead and enemy troops, chaos and death engulf the streets around them. Arriving at the gates of Black Rock, they find them barred, palace guards loosing crossbow bolts at the desperate crowd. The Heroes, appealing to the honor still burning in some of the soldiers, convince them to open the gates and let the people in.

Once inside, the Heroes race to the castle, where they are met by General Von Dabernick, his elite knights, and the enigmatic Lady Nacht. Accusing the Heroes of treachery and demanding the cat statuette, the General's rage sparks an inevitable confrontation. Lady Nacht, defying the General, sides with the Heroes. In the ensuing clash, the General is defeated, his life spared by the Heroes' mercy.

With urgency, the Heroes proceed to the throne room, placing the cat statuette on the throne. It reveals a hidden passage leading deep into the castle's dungeons. As they descend, they realize they are entering a realm not purely of this world.

Through a series of chambers, they face spiritual trials posed by manifestations of the goddesses of Fortune, both ancient Brenna and crafty Sera. Passing each test, they gain access to the final chamber. There, they behold the Crown of Fortune, imbued with the essence of the fallen goddess Brenna. One of the six Crowns of Dominion, each tied to an ancient bloodline, this crown grants the divine right to rule over all nations of Brechtur.

Yet there is no time to contemplate their newfound power, for a dark figure looms at the chamber's entrance. Count Sigismund, now an undead abomination, hurls a battered Ulrich into the room. He then challenges the Heroes for the Crown. The final battle for the fate of Ubersreik is about to begin!
