Dead Pass

King Vendrick's edict says it explicitly:

Finger legion leader Elric is wanted dead or alive. He is given great pay and political office.
You are reading this poster on the street. You are not alone. You look at the people around you and they all have the same blank stare. You don't even remember what you read. You know for sure that you too were looking for Elric for your own purposes. You wanted something from him but you don't know what. You close your eyes and after a while you open them again. You are no longer in the square of Astrabi. You are in a wet and dark place between steep rocks. Then you see him and your breath is taken away, you had heard about the guardian of the stone, but it is one thing to hear about it and another to see this imposing presence in front of you. Wait... Why did the guardian stone appear in front of you? It is said that he seals the way of the dead... The Dead pass... Well, how did you get there?
