UAC Expedition Results
Who: The Slayer, and others
What: Some explorers bring back a big, omnious, stone sarcophagus
When: A day or two after the Walpurgisnacht Ball
Where: A secure chamber at Daybreak Academy
Warnings: Probably some violence
When a group of enterprising Outland explorers found a massive stone sarcophagus in a particularly desolate corner of the wasteland, they decided to take it. They did, but half of them died under furious daemon attacks. The survivors of the expedition described the attacks not so much as furious but as...desperate. Whatever was in the sarcophagus, it clearly was very important to these daemons that it not be set loose.
They brought their prize to Daybreak Academy, because in Earth's supernatural community, Daybreak is well known as a safe place to bring cursed shit you end up with.

The Sarcophagus now lies in a secure chamber, along with a few other artifacts: A stylized sword hilt, carved of stone. A suit of mastercraft plate mail. A double barreled shotgun, with some sort of grappling hook affixed under the barrels.
The Sarcophagus itself commands most onlooker's attention. Crudely crafted from stone, wrapped with bands of spell inscribed iron, and covered in runes of binding. The only part that isn't dedicated to keeping this thing shut is an inscription in the center of the lid, which reads as such, in the tongue of daemons:
Here lies the Slayer of Doom, The Hellwalker, The Beast who broke our armies. The terror within must never be freed. There he lies still, and evermore, in silent suffering.

If daemons don't like it, it must be something good, right? Eventually, someone decided to break it open. Inside is a man. It's impossible that someone could survive being entombed for centuries in solid stone, and he doesn't look terribly healthy at the moment, but he is undeniably alive, dressed in rags and in bad need of a shave and a shower.
He woke up almost immediately. After testing the chains that bound him, he looked around at his rescuers with a strange calm, but said nothing. In truth, he wasn't sure he could remember how to speak.

Should and daemons be among the people in the room when he is set loose, his calm immediately shatters. A horrible light entered his eyes as he struggled against the chains that bound him, with a strength that was causing the metal to warp before your eyes.
He was going to break free any second now, and from the murderous look he was giving, his plans for what to do NEXT were not a mystery.

She takes a step back in preparation to part. "I hope to hear of positive results from you, Sir Daemon Slayer." With that, she turns around and leaves him in the hallway.
