[--- The Kid, Part 1 of 2. ---]

It's Night.
You are walking on a winding path through the mountains. Far to the north
you can see a small building. Eastward you can make your way back to the
main path climbing above some stones.
There are two obvious exits: east, north.
A playing male kid.
You start to speak the words and prepare for the gestures.
You raise your hands and order Ophelcatree into the body of
the playing male kid to bind him to your will.
The playing male kid starts moving east.

It's Night.
You are walking on a what it seems endless path through the mountains. To
the west and east the mountains are blocking the way. The path continues to
the northeast and southwest. You notice some stones to the west. It seems
that they are blocking a path.
There are two obvious exits: northeast*, southwest*.
Druzil, four Gierjs, eighteen Zombies, a playing male kid and a shadow.
You notice movement behind the stones.

[--- I leave to the Necromancer Guild without incident ---]

This is a dusty stone chamber.  It seems almost unfinished, as if 
those who were working on it moved on to someplace else.  A small
hole is in the middle of the floor, with the top end of a ladder
protruding through it.  The west wall has a stone door cut out of
it, which seems to lead into a tunnel.
There are two obvious exits: down, west.
A torch and a vial.
Druzil, four Gierjs, Lereth, eighteen Zombies and twenty Zombies.
Your team order:
First row:
 Zombie                         It is in good shape                          
 The shadow                                                                  
Second row:
 Druzil                          It is in good shape
