Apprentice Councilor Eve, Apprentice Vanya, and other adventurers of the Earth Guild of Terna,
We have been doing some research at the Research & Development Branch into the two Orbs created by Viktor Hook that were trusted to us, and while the magic imbuing them is indeed potent, we believed we have managed to uncover a means to break it. As far as we can tell, our method should be able to disenchant the two Orbs, the Skull, and Dagger (the latter two still being in possession of the adventurers, I believe) simultaneously in a single Destroy Magic ritual casting bolstered by the bit of unique magic tailored to these items that we have managed to cook up. I’m really quite pleased with what we’ve created!
The downside to all of this is that, while the ritual will be able to penetrate the items’ defenses, the items also seem to fight back against such intrusion. In our preliminary research attempts, we witnessed the Orbs not only summoning manifestations of chaos energy that would attempt to interrupt the process, but also would even beginning to unravel the scroll itself in an attempt to prevent the ritual from reaching completion.
However, I am sure a few adventurers should be more than up to the task of not only holding back whatever the items spit out, but also keeping the scroll intact and completing the ritual. The ritual itself will need to be begun by an earth Formalist (and the ritual is only of the 3rd tier of difficulty, so I am certain many among you could perform it), but the latter can be done simply by anyone capable of casting earthen magic from memory. I would recommend having at least a couple earthen casters within the circle to help keep the scroll under control, but someone could do it alone if absolutely necessary.
To that end, I would ask that whoever is in possession of the Skull and Dagger please bring them when next the adventurers gather so that we can ensure that all four of Hook’s vile items get destroyed at one time. Whenever you are ready to get this done, please make your way to the Earth Guild outpost near where you gather, ask for me, and I can gather the necessary preparations.
Thank you,
