Dialogue

Preparations begin

Rytlock Brimstone: Bad news. Inquest woke up the statue in the northern temple. Place is bleeding with miasma.

Rytlock Brimstone: The damn thing is protected by some sort of spell. Can't damage it.

Rytlock Brimstone: Just another roadblock... Bet Vloxx loves that.

Isgarren: The All Seer, keeper of the senechals... Another example of the doyen's desperation.

Isgarren: I...have an idea. Grant me a moment to muster my strength.

One minute before the start

Isgarren: Tribune, what is the state of the forge?

Rytlock Brimstone: Eh, Inquest have it locked down, but that's a fight I could win with my claws trimmed. Why?

Isgarren: The artificers had a safeguard in case their creations lashed out. It was called "The Light of the Forge Masters."

Isgarren: Perhaps it will allow us to damage the All Seer.

Rytlock Brimstone: Sounds like a solution.

Isgarren: The curse stings my every sense. I cannot fight with you...but I can cast a portal to get you into the forge.

Isgarren: On my signal. I will instruct from afar.

Meta start

Isgarren: There. A portal to the forge is open.

Isgarren: Seize control of the three forge chambers. With the structure secured, you will cast the Light of the Forge Masters.

Once the chambers are in control

Isgarren: The forge is secure.

(northern forge)

Rytlock Brimestone: Got it. Let's regroup with the others.

(western forge)

Westergard: 'Bout time. Let's go.

(eastern forge)

Sayida the Sly: Finally. Let's head back.

Rytlock Brimstone: What next, wizard?

Isgarren: You'll need to power the forge. Given its present sedation, I imagine the pipework is in disarray.

Rytlock Brimstone: Lots of steps just to fight the thing...

Isgarren: I challenge you to approach the All Seer without the sacred light. First, you'll lose all of your fur. Then, you'll die.

Rytlock Brimstone: Repair the pipework. Got it.

Upon repairing energy leaks

Isgarren: Magic is leaking from the pipework—your skimmer, now! Its water jets may be able to push them in place.

Once all the pipes have been repaired

Isgarren: Power is now flowing to the forge. Quickly, return to the others.

Isgarren: You've only a brief window to summon forth the light.

Once the forge is fully powered

Rytlock Brimstone: (growls) The forge is chained.

Upon attacking Kela's minions

Westergard: These things sure want to stop us, huh?

Isgarren: These bindings were cast by the All Seer. It compelled the seneschal, too.

Isgarren: Quickly, defeat her spawn so you can unbind the forge!

Once Kela's minions and All Seer's chains are defeated

Isgarren: Now, repeat after me, Tribune. Sacro! Brucian! Fuoco!

Westergard: W-wow.

Rytlock Brimstone: I'll take that as a good sign. Isgarren?

Rytlock Brimstone: Sacro. Brucian. Fuoco.

Isgarren: Magnificent...

Isgarren: Blessed by such a light, you can now safely pursue the All Seer. Bear in mind, it will not be an easy fight.

Once the forge grants the power

Isgarren: With the last of my strength, I will cast another portal opposite your current position in the forge.

Isgarren: The portal is now...open. It will take you to the All Seer.

Isgarren: End this.

Upon reaching The All Seer

Isgarren: The All Seer will throw every defense it can at you.

Isgarren: As we've learned, the surrounding feretories house the souls of seers who offered their essence to protect the island.

Isgarren: Perhaps we can overburden and flood the All Seer by releasing them. Lamentable, but necessary.

The first round

Once the soul is defeated (one of the following)

Isgarren: Now, overwhelm it!

Isgarren: The feretory is vulnerable! Quickly, overwhelm it!

Once the souls are released from the feretory

Isgarren: It's working, but careful now, it's growing more desperate to stop you.

Upon attacking enhanced creatures

Isgarren: The All Seer has summoned the seneschals! Defeat its protectors and remove the chains.

Once the chains have been severed

Isgarren: All of the chains have been severed. You must overwhelm the other feretories.

The second round

Once the soul is defeated (one of the following)

Isgarren: Again, overwhelm it to release the souls!

Isgarren: Strike now, while it's vulnerable!

Once the soul is released from the feretory

Isgarren: It only grows more enraged, but success is near. The All Seer's dominion will soon end.

Upon attacking enhanced creatures

Isgarren: Once more, eradicate the beasts!

Isgarren: The All Seer has compelled the Seneschal of the Forest to its defense!

Upon getting shackled

Isgarren: Free yourself of the All Seer's shackle!

Upon getting linked with another player

Isgarren: The All Seer has tethered your essence with another to stifle you. Perhaps there is an advantage to exploit...

Once all the creatures have been defeated

Isgarren: Steel yourself, Wayfinder! The All Seer is almost defeated, but its desperation fumes.

Isgarren: Shatter the chains and release these souls from Castora once and for all!

Meta success

Isgarren: It is working.

Isgarren: Find peace, sleepless souls; your vigil has ended. Once this curse is lifted, my own watch will begin.

Rytlock Brimstone: Don't let your guard down yet—

Sayida the Sly: Hold it, Rytlock. Look. Their shackles are gone too.

Westergard: That better, girl?

Kela, Seneschal of Waves: (purrs)

Westergard: Beautiful creature. Was I wrong about you?

Isgarren: The All Seer is defeated. They act on their own free will once again.

Isgarren: And I...I feel a weight lifting. The bindings of this place are weaker.

Rytlock Brimstone: Curse broken?

Isgarren: Soon.

Westergard: So... How many Inquest noses you break, Captain?

(one of the following)

Sayida the Sly: Six. You?

Sayida the Sly: Twelve. You?

(one of the following)

Westergard: Thirteen.

Westergard: Sixteen.

Sayida the Sly: Rytlock?

(one of the following)

Rytlock Brimstone: Twenty-four.

Rytlock Brimstone: Thirty-one.
