Summary

Another temple was discovered that would let the Burun Kings into Dereth.
The creature Mgrauleshk was leading a raid into the template to knock down the barrier and open the gateway.
Players had to turn Player Killer to enter the temple and could then decide whether to defend the barrier from Mgrauleshk and other player killers, or help them destroy it and activate the portal beacon.
Verdantine and Morningthaw successfully defended the door, resulting in envoys taking part to activate the beacon.

Dialog

Lead by Mgrauleshk, a Guruk Gorefiend, the Burun storm the Temple of Izji Qo. The portal gateway in the matron's crypt has become active and the Burun have stormed a receiving chamber containing a sealed portal. Mhrauleshk and his force will break through the wall and activate the portal beacon, bringing the Burun masters to Dereth unless they are stopped within ninety minutes.

Using the Portal Gateway in Izji Qo's Crypt

As portal space swells around you, you feel as though something is buffeting the attempt to bring you safely to your location. You fear that you cannot return here by your own means. The magic of the gateway seems to be the only way to safely reach this destination.

Mgrauleshk

You wound the giant deeply. The scent of a heady fungus flows about the area and Mgrauleshk's hide looks to have become thicker.

With a mighty croak, Mgrauleshk, snaps his head back in anger. A deadly spray of acid squirts from his hide.

Mgrauleshk lets out a wail and collapses in a heap, slain by [Player Name].

Destroying the door and activating the Portal Beacon

Blood from [Player Name] has been sacrificed to the Portal Beacon in the Temple of Izji Qo. As the beacon surges to life, pungent fumes and the damp air of a swamp filter into the receiving chamber. Mgrauleshk finds his way to the side of the first Burun master to cross the vast divide!

A wave of energy crashes over the area, at once there is a expulsion and sucking of air and mana. You hear the sound of the Kukuur in your mind before you see its enormity. You are gripped with a terror you have never known. As your body begins to rebel under the strength of this psionic attack, you hear something akin to laughter.

A massive wave of magic swells from beneath the surface of the world in the vicinity of Izji Qo's temple. The Burun King, Reeshan, has surfaced once again!

Reeshan turns its attentions toward you and with a gesture of its corpulent hand, your body is disintegrated as it is washed in pure mana. The last sound you heard was a grim, croaking laughter.

The Burun Kukuur, Reeshan, has found a way to transfer his girth to an undiscovered area of Izji Qo's temple. His presence can be felt within the temple, but his whereabouts are unknown.

11/17/04 - Burun King Reeshan returns

A massive wave of magic swells from beneath the surface of the world in the vicinity of Izji Qo's temple. The Burun King, Reeshan, has surfaced once again!

11/19/04 - Burun King Kiree returns

A massive wave of magic pulses out from Ixir Zi's temple in the Blackmire Swamp. A second Burun King has found his way to Dereth!

11/21/04 - Burun King Broodu returns

A chain of magical explosions sear the desert sands near Fadsahil's shop.

Somewhere in the depths of Liazk Itzi's temple another Burun King has forced his way through the portal and arrived on Dereth!

11/23/04 - Burun King Keerik returns

In the depths of Hizk Ri's temple, a great magic is unleashed. Waves of mana pound the surrounding area, as another Burun King has forced his way onto Dereth!

11/28/04 - Burun King Rehir returns

Kivik Lir's temple is briefly surrounded in a corona of magical energy. Deep within the temple another Burun King has crossed the vast divide!"

11/29/04 - Burun King Browerk returns

Off the western shore of the Direlands a soft pulse of energy forms. The energy steadily grows until it crashes into the ocean waters and reveals a partially exhumed temple in the sands.

An assault of mana pounds the western surf and then becomes silent. Residents at Ayan Baqur are taken aback at the appearance of a spectral being.
