Karras	What can I do for you, novice?
Karras	What can I do for you, Brother?
Karras	The honorable warriors of Innos rarely stray into these rooms.
Karras	What can I do for you?
Karras	(mistrustful) What are you doing here?
Me	I have come to read the scriptures.
Karras	I understand. If you can ever make some time between your tedious studies, come to me.
Karras	There is yet another matter for which I could use a discreet novice.
Me	You have an assignment for me?
Karras	Yes. It's about this crazy Ignaz. He lives in Khorinis and experiments with various potions and healing draughts. But also magic spells.
Karras	And that's exactly what worries me. I ask myself if his magic is pleasing to Innos.
Karras	In order to test this, I need some of his spell scrolls.
Karras	I want you to go into the city and obtain three of his spell scrolls for me.
Karras	But not a word to anyone - is that clear?
Me	Sure.
Karras	Here are 150 gold pieces. That should cover your expenses.
Me	Here are the spell scrolls you wanted.
Karras	Well done, my young friend.
Karras	But now it is time that you devote yourself to your studies.
Karras	And take this spell scroll as a reward.
Me	Show me your wares.
Me	What exactly is your job?
Karras	It is my responsibility to train mages in the art of spherical manifestation.
Me	What does that mean?
Karras	Well, I teach them how to summon creatures or beings from other states or spheres.
Karras	This is usually called summoning, although this expression alone is insufficient for the art of calling a servant.
Karras	Furthermore, I own some interesting spell scrolls which Gorax does not have.
Karras	But I only make them available to members of the Order.
Me	Teach me.
Karras	For the moment, there is nothing you can learn from me.
Me	I want to learn the fourth Circle of Magic.
Karras	Good. All the signs are fulfilled. Enter now the fourth circle, so that the power of the new magic will be within you.
Karras	You have come a long way, and Innos will continue to light your path.
Karras	It is still not finished.
Me	I want to learn the fifth Circle of Magic.
Karras	Then enter now into the fifth circle of magic. You will command mightier magic than ever before.
Karras	Use its power wisely, Brother - for the darkness is still strong and so are your enemies.
Karras	I cannot accompany you into the sixth and highest Circle of magic. Pyrokar himself will ordain you when the time comes.
Karras	The time is not yet ripe.
Karras	Brother, you cannot lose any time. You must hunt down Pedro and return the Eye of Innos to the monastery.
Karras	If the Eye is not retrieved, we shall all be lost.
Karras	What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be on your way and looking for the underhanded traitor Pedro?
Me	Later. There's something I have to take care of first.
Karras	Do you have any idea what this loss means for the monastery? The Eye of Innos is a powerful weapon.
Karras	No one can foresee what the enemy intends to do with the amulet, but he is planning something and we must prevent it.
Karras	So get moving immediately and track down the thief!
Me	He's not going to get very far.
Karras	I hope so for your sake. If he should escape because you've been lollygagging here, I will personally drag you before the tribunal.
Me	What would you accuse me of?
Karras	Conspiracy with the enemy. It takes little imagination to picture the punishment for such an offense.
Karras	And now see to it that you lose no more time, otherwise the next time we meet, it will be at the stake.
Karras	You know everything you need to know. Now be on your way!
Me	I have brought back the Eye of Innos.
Karras	I am relieved that you were able to snatch the Eye away from the enemy.
Karras	But the danger has not been averted. Evil is making further plans and is proceeding with unusual aggression.
Me	I've already figured that out for myself.
Karras	Do not mock me. The situation is serious, very serious, and we don't know whom we can trust.
Karras	The enemy has already succeeded in leading the novice Pedro into temptation, and he may have success with many others.
Me	How are your studies coming along?
Karras	I have been able to find out something about the Seekers.
Me	And what would that be?
Karras	They are quite obviously of demonic origin. Well, at least they are, or were, under the influence of demons.
Karras	Be careful if you meet them.
Me	What a novel concept.
Karras	I'm sorry, but I don't have enough material to make a more precise statement.
Karras	But if you could manage to bring me something of theirs to examine ...
Karras	I am still working on the interpretation of the evidence about the Seekers.
Karras	As soon as I know something, I will of course inform you immediately.
Karras	The enemy has many faces. Which of them presents the greatest danger for the monastery is awfully difficult to determine.
Me	Could the Sleeper be involved in this?
Karras	I have heard the story of the Sleeper. But from a distance I cannot say anything about it.
Karras	There are countless demons, and any of them could be involved.
Me	Do you want me to bring you a corpse, then?
Karras	No, are you crazy? The dangers posed by a demonic being within the walls of the monastery are much too great.
Karras	It will be enough if you find some objects which are typical for these beings.
Karras	The remains of the demonic aura which clings to them should offer enough clues for an examination.
Me	What kind of material do you need?
Karras	What do I know - any objects which specially belong to these beings.
Me	I shall see what I can do.
Karras	It would certainly be very useful. In the meantime, I will carry out my own personal research.
Me	I've got an almanac of the Possessed here. Maybe you can find some use for it.
Karras	Show me.
Karras	Yes, that may do. I will examine the book.
Karras	But I'm already sure of one thing.
Karras	In my opinion, the Seekers are an utterly perverted life form created by Beliar.
Karras	These beings are of partly demonic and partly human origin.
Karras	However, I am still unable to tell at this point whether we are looking at a type of spiritual possession, or a purely physical mutation.
Karras	Come back later. Then I will certainly know more.
Me	Found out anything new about the Seekers yet?
Karras	Yes. Now I know who or what the Seekers really are.
Me	Fire away!
Karras	They were once human, like you or I. They made the abominable mistake of devoting themselves to the impure magic of a very powerful archdemon.
Karras	Under the influence of this archdemon as well as very powerful drugs, they existed only to serve him until they were reduced to mere shadows of themselves.
Karras	Today, they are nothing but tools of evil, without a will of their own, and they will never cease to hunt the followers of Innos.
Karras	We must be careful. They still seem to shun these hallowed halls of Innos.
Karras	However, if their power continues to grow, I don't know if we'll still be safe here.
Me	Thanks. That was very enlightening.
Karras	Indeed? That only raises more questions for me. For example, who were they before, and which archdemon made them what they are now?
Me	I've got a notion. This all sounds like the Brotherhood of the Sleeper. I know those guys.
Karras	I hope you know what you're getting involved in. Take care of yourself, my Brother.
Karras	But, of course. Here is your almanac. I don't need it any longer.
Karras	I'm working on it. Come back later.
Me	Is there a way to protect oneself against the mental attacks of the Seekers?
Karras	Indeed. An amulet prepared with stone from blessed soil could have a protective effect.
Karras	Unfortunately, I do not have enough of these stones available.
Karras	Some of our prayer shrines which we have erected are composed of them.
Me	All right. I shall scare up some of that.
Karras	Yes, do that. But don't even think of damaging the shrines, do you hear me?
Karras	No idea. I still know too little to answer that. Ask me about it later.
Me	I've got some stone here from blessed soil.
Karras	Good. I hope all the prayer shrines are still in their places.
Karras	All right. I shall make you a protective amulet against the black look of the Seekers.
Karras	Give me some time. I shall get right to work.
Me	So what about the protective amulet you promised me?
Karras	I'm finished. Here, take a look. It has turned out beautifully.
Karras	Carry it with you always and the Seekers will not be able to drag you down into their mental abyss.
Me	Thank you.
Karras	Patience. I'm still working on it.
