- Maybe it'll help us get the treaty signed.
- I imagine it feels like being perpetually stuck in a war.
- Yeah. All the more reason why this needs to work. Your help is not going unnoticed.
- I'd do just about anything for Rytlock or Rox.
- Rytlock will be okay. He's been through worse. But that doesn't mean I won't worry until he's back.
- Understandable.
- I'm sure he'll be fine.
- Hey. Before you leave, take this.
- You have to be ready. This could go in any direction. There's no way of predicting what this ritual will do.
- The gate is locked.
- Leave.
- You're back. Did you have any luck?
- Used to craft Perfect Jewels.
- Yes. I found them all.
- Once we're inside, we need to channel ghost essence into the sword to fire it up. That means slashing lots of ghosts.
- So, high stakes. Big danger. Sounds like fun. Let's go.
- It all hinges on Sohothin, my sword. There were originally two of them—Sohothin and another called Magdaer. They were given to the Ascalonians as protection against invasion.
- A couple hundred years or so ago, Sohothin was wielded by Rurik, son of King Adelbern. He was killed by a Stone Summit dwarf. It came into my care several years ago.
- How did you get it?
- Irrelevant. Point is that its partner, Magdaer, is the sword Adelbern used to curse the Ascalonians. I've long suspected that Sohothin is the blade that can break the curse.
- Okay. So, how?
- I've had my snout buried in old scrolls and books at the Priory. One of the scholars there has been helping me tack together the history. I finally found reference to a ritual.
- And you trust the source?
- It's got an Orrian stamp on it, which makes it so old, it's got to be legitimate. In any case, I have to try. If it works, we'll be free.
- Tell me what you need.
- Great. Give me the crown.
- Hold on. This crown is very important to my people.
- Azurite Mithril Amulet
- Azurite Orichalcum Amulet
- Azurite Mithril Earring
- Azurite Orichalcum Earring
- Azurite Mithril Ring
- Azurite Orichalcum Ring
- All right. Tell me more about the ritual.
- I see. What are you saying? You don't want me to use it?
- You must promise you'll give it back to me when this is over.
- When this is over, and the ghosts are gone, I'll put it into your hands myself.
- Looks like we've got everything we need. That crown you put together is historic. It practically crackles with the weight of Ascalon's ancestors.
- If this works, we'll go down in history ourselves.
- Do you think it will? I mean, surely getting rid of all the ghosts can't be this easy.
- Who said it was easy? Getting the crown was no stroll in the Pavilion.
- Who said it was easy? Getting the crown was no stroll.
- And on the other side of that gate, we've got ghosts building up, just waiting for us to come through. I hope their essences can charge Sohothin.
- I guess we'll find out.
- You're on point, Brimstone.
- Yes, sir.
- Break down items using a salvage kit.
- I need to go after him!
- The portal is closed. You can't.
- But—
