Dialogue

Greeting

Hello, my friend. Stay a while and listen.

Gossip

"While you are venturing deeper into the labyrinth you may find tomes of great knowledge hidden there.

Read them carefully for they can tell you things that even I cannot."

"I know of many myths and legends that may contain answers to questions that may arise in your journeys into the labyrinth. If you come across challenges and questions to which you seek knowledge, seek me out and I will tell you what I can."

"The witch, Adria, is an anomaly here in Tristram, she arrived shortly after the cathedral was desecrated while most everyone else was fleeing. She has a small hut constructed at the edge of town, seemingly overnight, and has access to many strange and arcane artifacts and tomes of knowledge that even I have never seen before."

"Poor Farnham. He is a disquieting reminder of the doomed assembly that entered into the cathedral with Lazarus on that dark day. He escaped with his life, but his courage and much of his sanity were left in some dark pit. He finds comfort only at the bottom of his tankard nowadays, but there are occasional bits of truth buried within his constant ramblings."

"Gillian is a fine woman. Much adored for her high spirits and her quick laugh, she holds a special place in my heart. She stays on at the tavern to support her elderly grandmother who is too sick to travel. I sometimes fear for her safety, but I know that any man in the village would rather die than see her harmed."

"Griswold - a man of great action and great courage. I bet he never told you about the time he went into the labyrinth to save Wirt, did he? He knows his fair share of the dangers to be found there, but then again - so do you. He is a skilled craftsman, and if he claim to be able to help you in any way, you can count on his honesty and his skill."

"Ogden has owned and run the Rising Sun Inn and Tavern for almost four years now. He purchased it just a few shirt months before everything here when to hell. He and his wife Garda do not have the money to leave as they invested all they had in making a like for themselves here. He is a good man with a deep sense of responsibility."

"Ah, Pepin. I count him as a true friend - perhaps the closest I have here. He is a bit addled at times, but never a more caring or considerate soul has existed. His knowledge and skills are equaled by few, and his door his always open."

"The story of Wirt is a frightening and tragic one. He was taken from the arms of his mother and dragged into the labyrinth by the small, foul demons that wield wicked spears. There were many other children taken that day, including the son of King Leoric. The knights of the of the palace went below, but never returned. The blacksmith found the boy, but only after the foul beasts had begun to torture him for their sadistic pleasures."

Quests

Anvil of Fury

Archbishop Lazarus

Black Mushroom

Diablo

Gharbad the Weak

Halls of the Blind

You recite an interesting rhyme written in a style that reminds me of other works. Let me think now - what was it?

...Darkness shroud the hidden. Eyes glowing unseen with only the sounds of razor claws briefly scraping to torment those poor souls who have been made sightless for all eternity. The prison for those so damned is named the Halls of the Blind...

Lachdanan

Ogden's Sign

I see that this strange behavior puzzles you as well. I would surmise that since many demons fear the light of the sun and believe that it holds great power , it may be that the rising sun depicted on the sign you speak of has led them to believe that it too holds some arcane powers. Hmm, perhaps they are not all as smart as we had feared...

Poisoned Water Supply

Hmm, I don't know what I can really tell you about this that would be of any help. The water that fills our wells comes from an underground spring. I have heard of a tunnel that leads to a great lake - perhaps they are one and the same. Unfortunately, I do not know would cause our water supply to be tainted.

The Butcher

It seems that the Archbishop Lazarus goaded many of the townsmen into venturing into the labyrinth to find the king's missing son. He played upon their fears and whipped them into a frenzied mob. None of them were prepared for what lay within the clod earth... Lazarus abandoned them down there - left in the clutches of unspeakable horrors - to die.

The Chamber of Bone

A book that speaks of a chamber of human bones? Well, a chamber of bone is mentioned in certain archaic writings that I studied in the libraries of the East. These tomes inferred that when the Lords of the Underworld desired to protect great treasures, they would create domains where those who died in the attempt to steal that treasure would be forever bound to defend it. A twitted, but strangely fitting, end?

The Curse of King Leoric

The Magic Rock

Griswold speaks of the Heaven Stone that was destined for the enclave located in the east. It was being taken there for further study. This stone glowed with an energy that somehow granted vision beyond that which a normal man could possess. I do not know what secrets it holds, my friend, but finding it would certainly prove most valuable.

Valor

Warlord of Blood

Zhar the Mad
