Romar -
The 'thing', this twisted reformation of what was once a respected town leader glares at you as you continually try to disturb its actions.
"What good would it do you to know boy? Would any amount of pain you could inflict with your swords be possibly worse than the screams I hear in my head with each step? Would your hatred be stronger than the curse I am forced to bear?"
Its eyes glow ice-blue, frosted with pain and misery.
"Since you 'deserve an explanation', I was made an offer that granted me great sums of money that I enjoyed for the remainder of my life...what little of it was left."
"I was contacted in the night by a man who claimed he was the servant of 'The Master' and that I would be spared and rewarded if I made sure Carealal would fall."
"It was easy really, with so much money and so much wealth...for me to slip a subtle poison in the soldier's mess that night. Nothing to kill outright, but enough to drain and weaken a significant number of soldiers so that the battle would certainly be one-sided."
So many people...brothers, fathers...even your own fell in that battle... It did seem that the army of Carealal was overwhelmed...but it was the undead right? The sheer power of 'The Masters' forces?
It continues to stare you down.
"If you listen to anything I have said Romar Belamor, you would remember my words of choices. I made the wrong ones and look at what it has cost me. Pain. Suffering. My sanity."
"If anything, I should be a shining example for you not to be--not a 'whipping post'. Leave me be..."

Those in the Fortress -
After the smoke and the blast clears, Adelia has fallen and the rest of you aren't really feeling that well. Garor moves around, giving everyone a bit of healing.

The brings everyone up to a managable level...but not full health. The room beyond does prove to be exceptionally empty, a stone empty room. This was a monumentous waste of time;
And there are many more doors...

Girud -
As the clerics continue to heal, Sturmguard continues to talk.
"A device that can bring him back? Surely this is dark magicks Girud."
"As for the idle undead, I will send the fastest soldiers immediately to clean up the remnants and assist in any way possible. They should be there within three hours hard ride."
{If you remember, the fortress and army was on the horizon of Ravenshead Keep.}
The clerics finish their work and already you can feel the control and use of your muscles coming back to you. Sturmguard helps you to your feet and nods.
"I will send the soldiers immediately. When they arrive, hopefully they will find you and the others with shards in hand and you can all walk them back triumphantly."
"As for this device, seek more of its possibility and more importantly, how to find and destroy it to ensure 'The Master' does not come back."
"Will there be anything else?"
