Fortuno | (anxiously) A dark cloud over the house... the one approaches... | |
Fortuno | With blood... needed to call him... HE who sees me... he sees me... oh, no, go away, begone... | |
Me | Are you all right? | |
Fortuno | Green... green novice... I cannot find it... | |
Me | How can I help you? | |
Fortuno | The green... the green novice will help the novice... | |
Me | Here, take this swampweed. | |
Fortuno | Not green, not strong, not green, not strong... | |
Me | Here, take this 'Green Novice'. | |
Fortuno | (recovering) AAAHHH... | |
Fortuno | My head... who... I am... Fortuno... what... what is wrong? | |
Me | So, tell me what is wrong with you. | |
Fortuno | Once I belonged to the Brotherhood of the Sleeper. Everything was all right back then. | |
Fortuno | Fine, we were all condemned crimials, but for us novices life was free from care... | |
Me | Hey, I was a prisoner in the Valley of Mines myself. Tell me something new. | |
Fortuno | I... I don't remember anything. Darkness lies across my mind... | |
Me | Come on, concentrate. What happened? When did you come back to your senses? | |
Fortuno | Raven... I only remember Raven and... and dark rooms. | |
Me | What about Raven? What did he do to you? | |
Fortuno | (sighs) I'm sorry. It's as though my mind were held prisoner... I don't understand it myself... | |
Me | There must be a way to refresh your memory. | |
Fortuno | Yes... yes, maybe there is a way. | |
Fortuno | The gurus knew of various forms of altering the spirit and the will. | |
Me | Do YOU remember anything about that? | |
Fortuno | No, I'm afraid this knowledge vanished with the gurus... | |
Me | Damn. Well - if there is a way to free your spirit, I'll find it. | |
Me | Do you need more swampweed? | |
Fortuno | Yeeesss, definitely. I will buy all the swampweed you can get your hands on. | |
Fortuno | I'll even pay you more for it than Fisk. | |
Me | I've got swampweed for you... | |
Me | I have a potion for you. It will help you to remember. | |
Fortuno | I trust you. | |
Me | And...? | |
Fortuno | Aah! I... I remember again! Now I see... Adanos be with me - what have I done? | |
Me | Yes, what have you done? And above all - what has Raven done? | |
Fortuno | I helped him... to make contact. With HIM. He wanted various elixirs... I brewed them for him. | |
Fortuno | He tried to open the portal to get into the temple. | |
Me | Why? What does he want in the temple? | |
Fortuno | A powerful artifact... it lies buried together with the one who once bore it. A mighty warrior who fell to HIM... | |
Me | And then? | |
Fortuno | We couldn't open the portal... | |
Fortuno | But Raven was SURE that he could, if he had the tomb of the priest excavated. | |
Fortuno | That's why he brought the slaves here. Victims he could force to dig where the powers of time lie at rest. | |
Me | Tomb of the priest? | |
Fortuno | The resting place of a priest of Adanos. It lies in the mine. | |
Fortuno | I also remember the stone tablets. He believed that they would show him the way. | |
Fortuno | And once he was able to decipher the characters on them, he no longer needed me. | |
Fortuno | He put a spell of forgetfulness on me and... and you have freed me. | |
Fortuno | Attack? Sorry, I was... absent... for some time. I don't know anything about it. | |
