Script
That weird stone was here when we arrived. It keeps the undead out, so we made a base near it.

Maybe we can use it to break the shield.

Check it out while I look around for other methods.

(Strange writing glows on the stone's surface. It gives off a slight warmth.)

(Touch the stone.)

What did you do?! The shield was there and then it just vanished!

(Well, I was looking at the stone...)

You'll have to tell me later. We don't know how much time we have. The research facility entrance is probably right behind where that shield was!

I'll let the strike team know. We'll be right behind you.

(I understand.)

Can you feel that? No, of course you can't. Trust me, the necromantic power in this room is strong. And guess what else we found? Behrohz, one of Kaidun's trusted lieutenants. He's in bad shape, but he should be able to answer questions.

(I understand.)

Kaidun found out the Core was being confined here. But it was a trap...

Something overtook us, took our minds. They captured Kaidun. I tried to get out and alert Fraya...but I didn't make it.

(We'll find Kaidun and the other.)

Thank you. My older brother Akkhan is in there. Tell him I'm safe, and you've come to rescue them.

Please save my comrades and General Kaidun.

(I understand.)

Who...who are you? What do you want? Behrohz? He lives? It's too late for me, but the others... You'll have to defeat Trayzadius to save them.

(I understand.)

We've failed Kaidun. We couldn't stop Thulsa....

(I understand.)

Thank you! But... where's Kaidun? Isn't he with you?

(I understand.)

Kaidun is gone.

Thulsa worked terrible magic on him, deforming and mutating him into a monster. We have to free him.

(Free him how?)

Thulsa has him imprisoned. Before he was changed, Kaidun slipped me this. He called it a "liquid key." I think its purpose is to break the imprisoning spell. Take it.

Use the passage behind me and go left where the corridor crosses another. Kill Dalmanak the Glutton and destroy the necromancy device.

If it's the only way to free Kaidun's soul, you may have to kill him.

(I understand.)

Thank you. There's not much time. Tell Fraya Thulsa took the Core. He's on his way to Val Palrada.

(I will stop him.)

Tell her I'm sorry. This isn't how the heroes' stories are meant to end. Tell her I loved her...love her. Always.

(I will.)

She can trust almost no one. I'm glad you're on her side.

(I understand.)

I know you did everything you could, but it's just so sad. I can't bear to tell Fraya he's dead!

And Thulsa has the Core! If this becomes known, there'll be widespread panic. Allemantheia will descend into chaos.

(I understand.)

I know that expression. I've worn it myself, every time I had to tell some mother I let her child die in uniform.

You don't have to tell me. The pendant's gone dark.

Did he die easily?

(He was very brave.)

Thank you for saving him, and for bringing me his last words.

(Hand her Kaidun's pendant.)

I always knew he was a brave man. Braver still for struggling against that curse, for fighting it long enough to tell me... your pardon, [player name].

I'll rescue the Core...and then I'll make sure Thulsa pays for what he's done.

(Thank you.)

Summary Upon Completion
With the rescue team, you used the Menhir of Vitality to break the magical shield hiding the entrance to Thulsa's secret research facility. You learned from Kaidun's soldiers that Kaidun was mutated by Thulsa's evil magic. To release Kaidun from the terrible curse, you killed him. Before dying, Kaidun told you Thulsa has abducted the Core, and he asked you to tell Fraya he loved her. Fraya thanked you for freeing Kaidun from the terrible curse.
