Transcript[]
- Class: This must be the way to the Abandoned Village.
- Class: Are you Cadeus? Talva Silvertongue said I should speak to you before heading to the nearby village. He believes it's cursed.
- Cadeus: Cursed? Bah. Nonsense! Fools always claim what they don't understand is magic. No, some creature is causing the village's suffering. The trick is to find out which one and kill the thing dead.
- Cadeus: If what you say is true, this truly is a dark time...but has no one told you? What stands before you is no temple. It is a prison.
- Cadeus: A body! It's a villager! Gods, they must have come from upriver!
- Cadeus: See that? That's no magic! Something injected this man with a toxin. Damn thing's got to be put down!
- Cadeus: That body came from the village further up the river. If you follow these corpses, we may discover what's behind this.
- Class: So many dead...and I don't even see the beacon here. Perhaps it's still in the elder's home.
- Cadeus: Bodies everywhere! The village is lost. W-we're too late to help anyone.
- Class: I'm going to search for the village elder's home. If anyone still lives, hopefully they're there.
- Elder Owens: Who...who goes there!?! A thief, here to steal the beacon? Ugh, it doesn't matter...
- Elder Owens: No, they hunger for their flesh...I feel them...
- Elder Owens: They're squirming inside--aghhhh!
- Elder Owens: Akarat...why...why have you abandoned us?
- Elder Owens: You! Meat...flesh! If they feed...the pain...the pain will end!
- Class: Stop this! You're not well!
- Elder Owens: Forgive me...but the beacon won't let me die! Only meat dulls the pain...just like with the others.
- Cadeus: Oh, no...Owens!
- Cadeus: That thing in your hand...it radiates a powerful magic...Did he have it?
- Class: Yes, it's one of the beacons of the Temple of Namari. Could it have caused his suffering?
- Cadeus: No, the beast you killed did this to him. But that beacon radiates a powerful preservation magic. It was meant to ensure something survived. It must have kept him alive with those things eating away at his insides.
- Cadeus: What a cruel twist of fate that something so wonderous could have caused him such suffering. Poor, poor Owens.
- Class: Cadeus, this isn't the only beacon. Talva mentioned another. He said it was held by someone who disappeared into the swamps and was never seen again. Another stone could be out there causing even more suffering.
