"I see you got the vision."
You get closer, and can see the man better in the firelight. He is dressed in simple cloth for his tunic and trousers, but wears a long fur cloak, leading up to a hood, fashioned from the head of a wolf, eyes, teeth and ears still intact.

The man is silent for a few seconds, you approach closer, and he looks up at you. You see his face, his features look as if they've been chisel-cut. However, above his right eye, below his left eye, and on the bridge of his nose, are some very unusual points.
Three very deep, very grotesque, round wounds.
"You've made a very large assumption."

"...I see. But how are you here now, standing before me? Does it have something to do with this gemstone?"
Take out the gemstone and stare at it.

"I'm sitting, but you're welcome to keep standing if you prefer to do so. Yes, I took some of the gemstones power for my own. I see you had no problems finding it."

Sit my lazy arse down.
"Yeah... It's helped me out quite a bit. I wonder how such a thing was created, though."

"Souls, human souls. That crystal imprisons probably several hundred of them. There would be many more, but I had to destroy them to avoid a more permanent fate. The other crystals, to my knowlege, are full."

"Wait, souls were used to make this thing? What the hell are we dealing with, here?"

"I see you've never dabbled in necromancy before. Undead constructs are usually supported by one or two spirits- three maximum. Your lizard friend standing behind you contains several hundred."

"These crystals are necromancy taken to the most extreme possible, and then a lot more. That also means many were killed in the creation of the crystals, none of them will ever find rest."

"So, destroying them wouldn't mean anything for these souls? There's nothing that can be done for their sake?"

"All that can be done is making sure these aren't used to end more innocent lives."
Suddenly, the shaman looks up, behind you.

Roll to the left and turn towards whatever he's looking at.

The campfire goes out behind you, two staggering figures run towards you in the dark. Your lizard zombie bares its claws.
