(It was all for naught. The handmaiden is no more... And it seems Xul, the necromancer from before,[1] has also come seeking the girl.) - Talk to the Handmaiden.

Transcript[]
Some undead are guarding the front of the cottage
- After killing the Undead
- Class: The undead have nearly overrun her home...this cannot be good.
- The interior of the cottage is dark, search around
Light the candle
- Class:
- Standard: Finally, a little light. Wait, that blood...
- Blood Knight: The scent of blood is strong here.
- Follow the bloodstain to the Cellar
The handmaiden is already dead
- Class: I'm too late...
Skeletons ambush the player. Xul arrives to lend aid
- After killing the Skeletons
- Xul
- Standard: Death has a way of following you, stranger.
- Necromancer: Ah, the familiar scent of death...
Talk to Xul
- Class
- Standard: I didn’t kill her, if that's what you’re thinking...
- Necromancer: Mm, the girl was killed before I arrived. Tortured by your apprentice, I presume?
- Xul
- Standard: Ha, of course you didn’t. No, I recognize my old student’s handiwork. The body is still warm too. Hmm, you may wish to stand back...reanimation can be, unpredictable.
- Necromancer: Yes, this does look like her handiwork. The body is still warm too. Hmm, I believe a reanimation is in order. Watch carefully, this rite is only shown to masters.
- Xul begins the rite
- Xul: Rathma, guide my voice to the soul of the recently slain. Return to us, child, we have one final task for you.
The handmaiden's spirit is summoned
- Asylla's Handmaiden: No, NO! Stop torturing me! I didn’t do anything! I told you everything!
- Xul: It's all right...No one can hurt you any more. You’re safe now. That woman...the one who hurt you, what did she want?
- Asylla's Handmaiden: She wanted the location of the Queen's tomb. I told her! I didn’t want to! But, she...she made me. They buried the Queen in the old garden. Hid her tomb underneath, so no one would ever disturb her rest... I-I failed Asylla. I failed my queen.
- The handmaiden's spirit disappears
- Xul: Poor girl...I'll stay here—ensure she's properly interred. You, however, need to get to that tomb. Do not let Lethes near the Queen’s body.
- Xul begins the funeral rites for the handmaiden
- Xul: May your soul find rest, young one.
- Start heading to Queen Asylla's Tomb
