The Alchemist and the Trickster

Campaign Summary
This was a guild level campaign involving the Magus Senate of Dalaran.
==Brief Summary==
The Magus Senate of Dalaran discovers clues to the first one-hundred magi. Following the trail, things do not go as planned.
==Full Summary==
It was chance that led to the discovery of an ancient page from a Mage's tome lost and forgotten in the deep archives of Dalaran. Discovered by Vanidicus Alexander and studied thoroughly by Verus Baelheit, the pair came to the conclusion that the spellwork on the page had been fashioned by the first One Hundred Human Magi, authored only by "The Alchemist." After a presentation to the Senate at large, it was decided that they would discover the works of these ancient wizards, now buried in their tombs from three thousand years ago. Things were far from simple, however. From the very start, the expeditions were fraught with danger. Strange, shade-like creatures that slunk on walls like shadows followed them at every turn. Each appearing in Tombs of the Hundred. Someone did not want them there. The trail of tombs traveled south, each unlocking more questions then answers, until the last page recovered led them to 'The Black Morass.'
Long since transformed into the Blasted Lands, the final tomb uncovered was revealed to be none others than the Alchemist's himself. Yet at the Alchemist's tomb however, they found the Alchemist's final work, and revelation. The Tombs, the Pages, the works. It had all been a trap. The Alchemist had been luring Mages here for centuries to feed upon their magic in order to go beyond his mortal form and to become something more, demonic ascension. Through this last group of magi, he sought the power to pierce the veil of the Twisting Nether and leave Azeroth behind. Through the works of the Hundred however, his work had been modified. This spell was used to strip him of his power. Left powerless and weak, an impossibly decrepit and old man, who could do nothing but spit hatred and venom at those who would oppose him, was all that remained. His existence was mercifully ended by Verus Baelheit , who stabbed him through the chest. A deserving end for his unspeakable crimes. His corpse soon crumbled to dust and his modified works were taken into Dalaranian custody, to be sealed in the vaults and to be studied and insights gleaned that may someday benefit all of Azerothian-kind.
