Transcript

• Class: Are you ready?

• Hunter Erys: I am, but it's hard to predict exactly what awaits inside. It could be more vampires, it could be the Magistrate, it could be nothing at all. You should be ready, too.

• Magistrate: Master, please! Give me another chance! No!

• Hunter Erys: Ugh, killed. We seem to have complicated the situation, you and I.

• Class: What do we do now?

• Hunter Erys: The Magistrate was the link between us and the leader of the vampires. This makes things...annoyingly more complicated.

• Hunter Erys: We should scour this place for anything—logs, documents—whatever you can find. I'm going back to Ked Bardu to follow up with some contacts.

• Shipping Manifest: The manifest marks that all blood be transferred to someone named Addrine promptly after harvest. "The Ascension" draws near.

• Mysterious Voice: It's good to be alone. You have much to see...

• Mysterious Voice: Child of the Eternal Conflict, waiting for the victor to claim them as servant...

• Mysterious Voice: Answer me something: have you ever felt like you were born with a noose around your neck, tied by your Mother and Father?

• Mysterious Voice: Enslaved by demons, threatened by angels...how do you fight the infinite when you are finite?

• Vampire Lord Zir: Come closer. I can feel the blood within you is like no other.

• Class: You must be who leads the vampires.

• Vampire Lord Zir: They are the Blood Seekers of my revival, and the harbingers of my ascension. Just like you.

• Vampire Lord Zir: I am Zir, of the Ancients. And you will serve.

• Class: I refuse.

• Vampire Lord Zir: Impossible. Why haven't you changed? I know your blood, I--

• Vampire Lord Zir: Ah...I understand now. Blood like no other, indeed.

• Vampire Lord Zir: It won't matter. You deserve more than to be chained to mortality, and the more you thirst, the more you will understand.

In Ked Bardu

• Hunter Erys: Take these supplies, and hurry. The vampires may hit your camp within the week.

• Class: I met the true vampire leader. He's an Ancient being named Zir.

• Hunter Erys: An Ancient? But you spoke to it. Walked away, despite your vampirism.

• Hunter Erys: We could use that. We might need to use that.

• Class: Explain clearly.

• Hunter Erys: Vampires were once said to be among the Ancients, but it's—(sigh) that was a long time ago. I don't know much more than that.

• Hunter Erys: But I do know of an Ancient burial site in Hawezar. If we can find a vampire of that era in any condition, and Potent Blood, there are rituals I can attempt.

Optional Dialogue

• Class: Why exactly am I coming with you?

• Erys: It's simple. Our goals align, you seem like you might be of help. And this lets me keep a close eye on you.

• Class: You're not afraid I'll fully change?

• Erys: Oh, you're going to change. I'm sorry, but whatever's preventing your cravings can't last forever. It never does.
