Letter from Maria to Nicola

When the party had to kill the new risen Zombie Nicola, they discovered this letter in his breast pocket.

Addressed to him by his wife 3 years ago, the old and tattered parchment read...

My beloved Nicola,

''I am writing this letter to tell you that our son Bernardo has been claimed by the Rat-man's curse. Doctors and priests in Tilea offered no help in healing our son and I feel that my extended time with him has caused me to become cursed as well, I am not sure how much time I have, or if this will reach you safely.''

''Do not come back to Tilea, that cursed bell tolls 13 times every night at midnight causing the dreaded black rain and the rat-men to surface. All children born in Tilea now have the Rat-man’s curse. Twisted and deformed worse than Bernardo was, as a result the Border Princes have closed their gates to Tilea and Estalia scorched the lands to the north. They believed that by killing all at the borders it would prevent the plague from reaching them.''

''At times I wish we were able to leave with you in search for a cure but I know now that you would also be cursed by this. Know that I love you with all my heart and that Bernardo and I will always watch over you from the heavens. I hope that wherever you are, you find peace.Love,''

Maria
