Trinsic Under Siege

"Something is blocking the location."

Aye, McBykar was once called a Fizzling Pirate when he joined some pirate friends, but recalling had always worked pretty well. What was wrong? He tried all his Trinsic runes again, cursing softly. He was not able to recall into Trinsic anymore. However, he had to get there somehow for some urgent mage business, and thus he recalled to the volcano west of Trinsic and walked all the way to the west gate. As he arrived a shocking view expected him. Obviously the undead had decided to make the road to Trinsic a scenic road. Corpses and skeletons had been hung on poles and strange fires were glowing.

The gates of Trinsic were barricaded and travellers were queuing outside, trying to teleport somehow onto the city wall without any success. McBykar remembered the wall crack at Smuggler's Gate, and followed the outside wall northward. Soon he reached the crack in the wall, spoke the secret password and was teleported inside the town. As he walked through Trinsic he noticed that the city was cleared of any monsters. However, Trinsic was totally cut off from the outside world. Every possibility of getting in or out had been blocked off. Even the south gate and the streets to the docks. The only way in or out of the town was through the wall crack. What was going on?

On his walk through the almost empty streets of Trinsic McBykar found a moongate called "Nystul's Gate". He had no idea who Nystul was, but this Nystul seemed to like Britain very much. For as he entered the gate McBykar found himself on the Britain docks.
