Word finally came through that we found the break we've been looking for. Rytlock called to tell me that the Priory had captured some Inquest in the area, so I stopped by the camp to find out more. Meliza told me that she had overheard the captives saying that they "never should have come back," but that they weren't talking. I was able to get a bit more out of them with a little pressure, but they didn't know much beyond that they had been sent here to retrieve something and it had already been taken back to the deep jungle. That means that, even without Ancora, they had some way to get through all of Castora's defenses that have been keeping us from getting to Vloxx.
I did some more digging around the area and turned up some more evidence of their visit. Not enough to figure out what they had actually returned to get, but enough to figure out what path they had taken in the process. I informed the others and we all met up at the start of it, ready to blaze our trail through the thicket. That's when I got a call from Vloxx.
He reiterated his point that he doesn't know what he's going to do with this power, but that he'll decide once he has it. He seems to genuinely want to help Tyria, so I pleaded with him to abandon the Inquest and join us instead. Predictably, it didn't work. He's already anticipated that we're getting closer, and he doesn't seem worried about it. Which means we'd better hurry, before it's too late.
