At the new settlement of Magnus Ager, the dead refused to remain in their graves and crypts. Citizens reported eerie music in the night, with reports of walking dead terrorizing and even attacking the living. Arden and Vul arrived, with their comrade Ristus, a cleric of Thoth. Despite their efforts, which involved re-killing a number of undead, the problem didn’t end. Finally, Arden realized that the music was controlling the dead. The trio tracked the music to the crypt of a Thorcin scop. The trio defeated the scop after Arden was able to challenge him to a musical duel. Once placated, the scop retired and the hauntings ceased.

Sources at Astableon the Scribe and Bookseller indicate the spirit calling forth the dead legionnaires was an aulos-playing dead man. During the battle, Arden blows a ram’s horn trumpet and Vul strums a lute; the aulos player drops his instrument; the other dead legionaries return to their graves.
