Transcript[]

  • Parin: Get up! She must be stopped before more are hurt! You there! Help!
  • Class: Calm down old man, what ails you?
  • Parin: A madwoman with an axe! She massacred my knights, like they were children...
  • Parin: Her face was pained, as if she could not stop herself. The axe...it seemed to feed on the blood...
  • Parin: Someone must separate her from that accursed axe! The town militia won't stand a chance.
  • Magdalena: You! Anyone but you! Stay back!
  • Parin: Is it done?
  • Class: The threat is no more.
  • Parin: Magdalena...Light be damned, how did this come to pass?
  • Parin: I need your help, and we haven't much time. We'll need to purge the demon from the blade before it can be destroyed.
  • Parin: Meet me in the Crags of Ill Wind. My study there is on hallowed ground. There is no safer place to perform the incantation.
