Dialog

The Gatekeeper

As (player) approaches the entrance gate, you hear a voice in the back of your mind, "Fleshlings, at our door? A poor decision. Prepare to meet your fate."

A shrieking sound pulses from the core of the falling Virindi as it collapses into its center, and it whispers in your mind, "Progress will not be interrupted, flesh puppet."

The Quartermaster

“How surprising that our paths should cross after the source has already been conquered.”

The Virindi's cloak seems to boil, hissing as it collapses. Its thoughts blaze in your mind: "You flesh puppets misunderstand your purpose here. You are the catalyst, not the cure.”

The Alchemist

A shrieking voice appears in the back of your mind, “Are you here to finish or begin our work?”

The voice continues, “A grave mistake… My creations will butcher you for this..”

The voice continues, “How unfortunate, but not unexpected.”

“Now we come to the heart of it. We look forward to claiming the depths of your mind as our own!”

“Feast on their flesh, my creation!”

The Virindi's cloak collapses in a billowing heap and a gust of stale air washes over you. As it dies, the creature shrieks in your mind, "Progress proceeds along many paths..."

The Overseer

You hear The Overseer's voice in the back of your mind, "Do you understand that we have led you to this moment, like an animal to the slaughterhouse?"

The voice continues, "The way you move your face is quite fascinating, fleshling."

The voice continues, " Perhaps we should wear your face as you have worn ours."

A flash of blue light escapes as The Overseer’s mask is broken in two. Softly spoken words tug at the edges of your mind, “The only constant is existence. Our paths are endlessly bound to one another.”

Approaching Akamine Jiro before To Seek Hearth quest completed

"Until you know the truth of our cause, there is nothing to speak of."

Approaching Akamine Jiro after To Seek Hearth quest completed

“Welcome, seeker. Ma’whar tells me that you are ready to begin your path of sacrifice. I must warn you, this path will not be easy and you will need friends to see it to its end. ”

“One month ago, our scout leader, Arbrim the Bold, organized an expedition to inspect the sibling leyline found beneath a Black Spawn Den, previously hidden in the plains. When he did not return by foot or by lifestone, we formed a rescue party to find him. We were not prepared for what we found in that dungeon; Tusker fists and Virindi blades that no worldly platemail could withstand. In our hasty retreat I managed to find this glowing shard of pyreal on the remains of one particularly large Virindi. It appears that the Virindi have outpaced our intentions and are using the leylines to power their own plans. ”

“Travel to the portal at < coordinates >. Burrow as deeply as you can into their den and then report back on what the Virindi are up to and what has happened to Arbrim. If you can reach the leyline, take a reading of the mana field from the device we have installed. Above all else, we need to understand how the Virindi have corrupted the power source we need to return home.

"If you need supplies, speak with our Arcanum Agents in Eastham - they will make sure you have what you need. Make haste seeker, our enemy grows stronger even as we speak."

Handing Arbrim's Note to Akamine Jiro

"If what you have given me is truly a child of Arbim’s pen, then there is no doubt that he is one of the Brothers. And if you speak true that he could not be found in that dungeon, then we must believe that he has achieved the purpose of his sacrifice. Speak of this to no one - it is not for us to interfere with the Brothers’ plans."

"I would urge you to return to the Black Spawn Den tomorrow and restart your search so that we may be certain of Arbrim’s fate. In the meantime, I will reflect on what you have brought me and write to our Eastham delegation to inform them of what you have learned of our foes."

"As a thank you for your service, take this cloak and talisman that Arbrim had left behind. Arbrim was always so picky about the style of his cloaks...I suspect that he won’t be needing this one anytime soon. Keep your legs fresh, seeker. I believe that sacrifices may soon be requested from you at the other leyline sites."

Handing Theodolite Mana Reading to Akamine Jiro

"I’m afraid that anything to do with the mana siphon is beyond my understanding. Bring it to Ulewinna, I’m sure that she will know what to do with it."
