Two months later, Juno and his other associates went back to check on Raoul, but first encountered [[Luthia]], Raoul's wolf-hound now [[transformed]] into one of the [[ancient dead]]. The creature attacked, and it was a harrowing and disturbing experience putting Luthia to rest permanently. Juno and his compatriots worried about Annabel, fearing she had been turned into a mummy or otherwise put at peril by mad Raoul's depredations. Still, they resolved to save Annabel, at least in [[soul]] if they could not in mortal [[life]], and to stop Raoul and suppress the knowledge that [[corrupted]] him.

Written by the [[Darkonian]] [[adventurer]] [[Juno Lutuem]], '''The Wreck of the Albatross'''<ref>Based upon descriptive text from [[John W. Mangrum]]'s [[Teeny Tiny Tales of Terror]] project (contributed by [[USER:cure|cure]]), from posts on the [[Cafe de Nuit|Fraternity of Shadows message board]].</ref> is the presumably autobiographical recollection of some of the adventuring experiences with his companions [[Annabel]], [[Elaenor]], [[Gregori (Cleric)|Gregori]], [[Raoul (Friend of Juno Lutuem)|Raoul]], [[Salvador]], and [[Theben]]. whereupon he describes his departure from [[Darkon]] after horrific experiences there, leaving [[Nevuchar Springs]] via the [[Nocturnal Sea]]. Gregori was [[killed]] by a [[skulking cyst]] exploding from his body before they got far. Ultimately, the [[ship]] was engulfed by [[the Mists]] and wind up beached in the [[Amber Wastes]], likely via the [[Jackal's Ruse]] [[mistway]]. There, Juno and company visited several places, including the [[Red Oasis]] and the tomb of [[Ankhtepot]]. Although Elaeanor and Theben met their deaths during the time in the Amber Wastes, Juno, Annabel, Raoul, and Salvador survived. However, Raoul's mind seemed to have been affected by the dark knowledge he discovered in [[Anhktepot's Tomb]], as [[madness]] and delusions of grandiosity began setting in.

Worried about his sanity, Raoul's friends suggested he retire to a mental [[asylum]] for treatment. Raoul seemed amenable, only asking that Annabel go back with him. Two months later, Juno and his other associates went back to check on Raoul, but first encountered [[Luthia]], Raoul's wolf-hound now [[transformed]] into one of the [[ancient dead]]. The creature attacked, and it was a harrowing and disturbing experience putting Luthia to rest permanently. Juno and his compatriots worried about Annabel, fearing she had been turned into a mummy or otherwise put at peril by mad Raoul's depredations. Still, they resolved to save Annabel, at least in [[soul]] if they could not in mortal [[life]], and to stop Raoul and suppress the knowledge that [[corrupted]] him.
