Sister Elaydith says, "Oh my friend, you have finally returned. I have been looking everywhere for you. So much has happened since I saw you last. Where do I [begin].

Sister Elaydith says, "Shortly after I saw you last, I was called to a meeting by the King's council to tell them all I knew about the plague you helped me stop. I learned about more weird reports of...well things that are hard to describe. It seems that strange creatures have been [scouting] around Albion.

Sister Elaydith says, "Just last week, in Campocorentin Station, one of the town guards reported that he slew a shadowy creature that he happened to surprise while it was writing notes on a map. The map showed where all the city guards stood throughout the day. It also showed the location of the town's healer, smith and enchanter. The map showed things that can only be seen by someone [studying] the town for a very long time.

Sister Elaydith says, "I overheard some of the council members whispering about a plot to attack the station. That could explain why the creature was making maps. There has been some other [reports].

Sister Elaydith says, "Villagers in Humberton became suddenly ill after drinking the water from a nearby well. When the guards checked the well, they found that someone had dropped a small bottle of [poison] into it.

Sister Elaydith says, "It was no accident either. The bottle was crafted with tiny holes in it to slowly leak the viscous (vicious?) poison into the water. That way more people would drink from the well before becoming ill. Who knows how many lives would have been lost if the guards had not acted so swiftly. There are also reports of hundreds of people suffering from a strange [haunting dream].

Sister Elaydith says, "They said the dream always starts the same. It starts with a strange woman wearing garments that look something like Cleric's clothes. She seems very upset about something and then she ventures into a very evil dungeon. She seems to be looking for someone and then she was suddenly slain and her spirit captured. The demons that capture her begin to taunt her and say that she is one of the first spirits they have captured intact. Then they mock her and say they have [special plans] for her.

Sister Elaydith says, "They give her spirit to the succubus so they can cast spells upon her and change her into one of them. Her spirit begins calling out for help and that is where the dream ends. The dream must be very haunting. Many of those having it, soon set off in search of the dungeon to see if they can somehow rescue the woman's spiritand are never seen or heard from again.

Sister Elaydith says, "Now you may be asking yourself why I called upon you again. It seems you were asked for [directly] (your name).

Sister Elaydith says, "One night a small imp scared a villager half witless by popping out of his fireplace and speaking to him. The imp told him his name was Mystemas and to seek you out and have you meet him in Darkness Falls. The imp said he had a secret to pass to the king and he would only speak it to those brave enough to go against the lecherous gress. The villager told the nearest guard and word made its way to the [Council].

Sister Elaydith says, "The King's Council and the Church debated back and forth about the wisdom of sending anyone into Darkness Falls to meet with a demon and we finally agreed to disagree. The Council asks that you journey into Darkness Falls and meet with this imp to see if he truly has any valuable information. I find this deplorable, but we are bound by the Council's decision. Will you do this for the council?

Do you accept this mission from the Council? [Level 45] Accept or Decline

Sister Elaydith says, "You are a brave soul, (your name). No one from the Church would ever consider stepping foot into that hellish place. Demons should be destroyed, not bargained with. I should hold my tongue, but I believe you are walking into some sort of twisted [trap].

Sister Elaydith says, "The imp may simply be trying to lure you back into Darkness Falls so the foul creatures may have their revenge against you. In any case, you should be very careful and not trust a thing the imp says. I wish you luck, my friend, and a safe journey.


[Step 2]Travel to the Albion entrance of Darkness Falls, and speak with an imp named Mystemas.

Mystemas says, "Eh? What do you think you are [looking] at, ugly (your characters race)?
Mystemas says, "What? Are you as stupid as you look? Maybe not, eh. You come down here with big ideas and try to do good deeds. I say the faster you go get yourself killed, the better. Wait a [second]!

Mystemas says, "You are that idiot who killed Malroch. Hehe, that was pretty foolish of you. Everyone in Darkness Falls has heard of you and is looking to cash in on the [bounty] for your head.

Mystemas says, "What? Do you think mortals are the only ones who use bounties? Any demon that slays you is supposed to be rewarded by the Master, but I have seen how he rewards his followers. I used to be one of the strongest demons in the Master's army and now look at me. The Master changed me into an imp as [punishment] for something I had nothing to do with.

Mystemas says, "How was I supposed to know the Master already had a plan? Anyway now I am really upset and I need your help to get some revenge on a few demons. If you help me I will tell you things that may just keep you alive a tad longer in the future. Let's say I know something about an ambassador that has been helping the lands of Albion to an early [demise].

Mystemas says, "I thought that might get your attention, but before I start telling what I know, I want some proof that you can handle yourself in battle. After all, you might have just been lucky when you beat the poor old Malroch. I want you to sneak into the area where the dragon of your land sleeps and return with something for me. You do this for me and I will tell you something of what I [know].

Mystemas says, "Let's see. What should I have you get, eh? I know! I want a granite gem from a granite giant stonebreaker living in southwestern [Dartmoor]. They dig up some very interesting gems in those mountains.

Mystemas says, "If you are wondering if you can trust me, don't worry your mind any longer. You can trust me, and I can't trust you. That keeps things simple in our future dealings. Now bring me what I want and stop wasting my time.

[Step 3] Journey to southwestern Dartmoor and retrieve Granite Gem from a granite giant stonebreaker.

Killed Granite Giant Stonebreaker at Dartmoor loc=11k 43k, got gem. Back to Mystemas in DF.

Mystemas says, "Oh, you are back. I suppose you have what I asked for?"

Mystemas says, "Well maybe you are not as weak as I thought, but certainly as smart as I thought. So lets talk shall we? I know a few things that would turn you pale with fear. What do I [know], you ask?"

Mystemas says, "Well I am glad that you asked. My Master has sent forth an ambassador to your lands to convince your king that the main threat to Albion from the other realms is far greater than the [threat] darkness falls presents."

Mystemas says, "This was done to increase the casualties on both sides of your stupid war. Each time a mortal falls in combat, we take a small portion of that creature's spirit and create one of the soultorn that roam deeper in Darkness Falls.

The soultorn are then trained to fight in my Master's armies. See the brilliance of this [plan]?"

Mystemas says' "The more you fight, the more you die. The more you die, the stronger we get. Hehe, very nice eh? Master also has a method to get the freshest and strongest of your [spirits]."

Mystemas says, "He watches which of your three realms is strongest on the field of battle and then allows only that realm to directly enter Darkness Falls. We can make far stronger soultorn from those that die here. In fact, once in a while we get very lucky and trap an entire creature's spirit here. There has been an especially strong [soultorn] captured recently."

Mystemas says, "She was a foolish healer named Caisha who came here looking for her lost friend. Now our Princess is torturing her spirit so we can make it into a succubi. Prince Ba'alorian wants to use her in his army as a high priestess or something. Wait, I have an [idea]."

Mystemas says, "You might be able to help both of us at the same time. The Ambassador normally stays at the Princess's side.

You will need proof to take to your king that he is being lied to and the Ambassador should be carrying plans from the

Prince that will help convince your king. You can help me by taking [Caisha's spirit]."

Mystemas says' "If the Prince has her for a high priestess, I doubt I will ever get a chance to gain my Master's favor again. I would surely like to see the Prince's plan fail miserably and you would provide me the means to do that. So let me make it clear what you [need to do]."

Mystemas says, "First, slay the ambassador and get his pouch of documents to take back to your king or whatever. Second, slay the Princess and her followers. You mst then slay Caisha's soultorn to release her spirit from its torment. Take this Soulstone. It will capture Caisha's spirit when she is slain so that no other demon captures her. Oh, one other [thing]."

Mystemas says, "If you get captured, I will do everything within my power to ensure the inquisitors shred every last piece of your spirit before you can tell anyone our little plan. Do you [Understand] me?"

Mystemas says, "Good. Now get going before someone sees us talking. Bring me Caisha like a good little (minstrel)
