Transcript

• Xul: Lethes got away. Heh, she was right...I couldn't do it. I couldn't kill her...but you, you can still catch her if you're quick about it.

• Class
  • Standard: You're wounded. Let me help you.
  • Blood Knight: Let me dress your wounds.

• Xul:
  • Standard: No. If she escapes, I won't be able to live with myself. Go...now!
  • Necromancer: No, you swore an oath to protect the Balance! Honor it and stop her!

Hunt Lethes

Lethes is found at Lords' Rest

• Class:
  • Standard: It is done, Lethes. You will never have Leoric's soul.
  • Necromancer: It is done, Lethes. You will answer for this abuse of power.

• Lethes:
  • Standard: You're right. I won't. Instead, allow me to demonstrate what this stone can do in the right hands...my hands!
  • Necromancer: Sanctimonious to the end, just like the rest of your rotten brethren. You want to see power? Very well, allow me to demonstrate.

Lethes empowers herself with the shard

After defeating Lethes, collect the shard

Xul arrives at the scene

• Xul: So, Lethes escaped, then...She never was the type to put her life on the line.

• Class:
  • Standard: What? No, we just fought her. I-I killed her...
  • Necromancer: Another simulacrum. Although this one was far more convincing than the last.

• Xul:
  • Standard: Did you, now? And yet, dead people tend tend to leave corpses. They certainly don't explode into bloody mist, they sort of just...crumple. No body, not dead.
  • Necromancer: I suppose having a chunk of the Worldstone in its possession helped. I'm glad to see it safely in your hands. Yes...I know what that is. Although it's quite a bit smaller than the last time I saw it.

• Xul: I will have to follow her. Regardless, I must thank you for your aid, my friend. Blessings of Rathma upon your journey, wherever it may take you.
  One last thing, when you return to Cain it would be wise to have him examine that weapon you found. He may not look it, but that old scholar always had a knack at identifying hidden potential.

• Class:
  • Barbarian: All this suffering over a single shard...I will have to keep it safe for now.
  • Standard: All this suffering over a single shard...Hopefully Elder Cain has found a way to destroy them once and for all.

• Class: Now, let's see if this Scroll of Westmarch he gave me actually works.

Cut

• Class: I should hurry to the Dark Wood and seek out this Priestess Akara.
