Ruk

Boss (81)

  • I can hear it… skittering.
  • It’s not far… your quarry.
  • I do not like it.
  • It came… from the heavens?
  • It’s not from this land… or this world.
  • Perhaps this… creature…
  • Whatever it is…
  • With the Blessed Mether?
  • ... will not be pleased.
  • The matron…
  • You’ve come far.
  • But she paid dearly.
  • By some… strange, tentacled creature.
  • In time, she healed…
  • She once protected these lands.
  • The eggs, too.
  • Until she was gravely wounded.
  • With the help of those… frog-lickers.
  • You’ll see… what remains of her.
  • A lost child who could not be saved.
  • Up ahead… you’ll face an ugly truth.
  • Ate them.
  • But the child killed them…
  • He is no more than a great maw.
  • The disciples snatched him in the night.
  • The matron’s firstborn…
  • To feed… and grow… endlessly.
  • We tried to save him.
  • With one purpose.
  • I heard great wings… buzzing.
  • Prepare yourself.
  • That can only mean one thing….
  • The prince is near.
  • And he was punished.
  • For our foolishness.
  • He was… our first mistake.
  • He would not let us test on his subjects…
  • I still remember him.
  • My old master… Sariel… the alchemist...
  • Or his mother.
  • See for yourself….
  • So he sought sages and wise-men.
  • So we tested our cure on him.
  • The Scholar-Prince…
  • The prince was kind-hearted.
  • The prince's mother was very sick.
  • This was his doing.
  • To the kind prince.
  • We thought we could do no wrong.
  • We were chosen.
  • What our hubris did…
  • Down below… the screams.
  • I cannot bear it.
  • The pain.
  • You hear that?
  • The agony… it sounds familiar.
  • But… I don’t know why?
  • I feel… guilty?
  • I must go.
  • You must put an end to this… misery.
  • Careful.
  • It’s quiet.
  • No brigands.
  • Not even a mouse.
  • Something’s wrong.
  • But I feel as if… there’s something…
  • I… can’t explain it.
  • Or perhaps I’m just mad.
  • Something dangerous.
  • That I should remember.
  • A conqueror who wished to be a god.
  • Up ahead.
  • You see him?
  • And now this… “life”… is his reward.
  • He reigned for a century.
  • His followers could not accept it.
  • Made him anew.
  • They knew not what to do...
  • They stitched him back together.
  • Until he perished.
  • Without their tyrant.

Sariel Quest (69)

  • A cure…
  • Good. But there’s more.
  • His laboratory… we must find it.
  • There is a serum… unfinished.
  • What's locked inside... could change everything.
  • You… did it?
  • … for the Foul Passenger’s poison.
  • Did you find it?
  • The notes… for the serum?
  • As promised, the serum.
  • May it protect you… from the Foul Passenger..
  • A life… I almost forgot.
  • But for now, we have other matters.
  • Give me some time.
  • I can return to what I was.
  • I will finish the serum… for you.
  • Perhaps one day…
  • Thank you.
  • The Foul Passenger must be… destroyed.
  • You’ve given me… my past.
  • But this… this I remember.
  • It’s… dark… slippery.
  • My life… before I became like this...
  • There’s much I don’t recall.
  • For a while.
  • There’s someone I need to find.
  • This may be the last you see of me…
  • … To kill.
  • He resides in that great grey waste.
  • I was not always… like this.
  • I’ve been tracking him.
  • Perhaps you can help me?
  • The one who did this to me...
  • We find him… Sariel.
  • We kill him.
  • It actually worked.
  • Look!
  • Somewhere.
  • The entrance… it was here afterall.
  • The key to the serum… it must be here, too.
  • But you… you can.
  • I… I can’t go in there.
  • Not again.
  • Notes? A book?
  • There are things… I do not want to remember.
  • There must be something.
  • With the formula.
  • You’re a strong one.
  • Or at least it was.
  • That’s it.
  • That’s… my handwriting…
  • Be careful.
  • Harbinger… he’s here.
  • He’s here.
  • He’s mad… more beast than man.
  • The one who made me like this.
  • Consumed by ambition… and the Foul Passenger.
  • I.. I tried to kill him, but I couldn’t.
  • Please, strike him down.
  • The man I once knew is long dead…
  • All over this land.
  • Force our way in.
  • Great tools of war.
  • Hm… I’ve seen siege engines.
  • Perhaps we can use them?
  • But… now it’s sealed.
  • It’s strange… I remember an entrance.
  • Right here.
  • There must be another way.

  • More eggs are out there.
