Many Warriors seek the challenger's mark as proof of their valor. A conspiracy of darkness surrounds the mark.

Story

Kash
Map: where Kash stands

Are you familiar with the Neutral Zone between the lands of the Elves and the Dark Elves? Shyslyssys, an ancient medusa, makes her home there. Of course, these stories always include an extraordinary amount of treasure. You must go to her cave and kill everyone there. You may keep all the treasure you find, all I ask is that you bring back any old parchment that is there. Will you accept?

Your bravery is impressive, my young friend, but you must not go alone. Not that I don't trust your abilities... But this is a medusa that has lived for hundreds of years! She must be guarding something important... It would be best to gather some friends to go with you.
