- (A thick, green mist seems to emanate from the water...)
- (It slowly congeals into the shape of a body...)
- (Which slowly floats towards you.)
- (In a rasping, barely audible voice you hear the entity speak.)
- Echned Zekin: Who disturbs the rocks of Zekin?
- (There seems to be something slightly familiar about this presence.)
- Er...me?
- Player: Er...me?
- Echned Zekin: So, you desire the water that flows here?
- Yes, I need it for my quest.
- Player: Yes, I need it for my quest.
- Echned Zekin: The water babbles so loudly and I am already so tortured.
- Echned Zekin: I cannot abide the sound so I have stoppered the streams...
- Echned Zekin: Care you not for my torment and pain?
- Why are you tortured?
- Player: Why are you tortured?
- Echned Zekin: I was robbed of my life by a cruel man called Viyeldi
- Echned Zekin: And I hunger for revenge upon him....
- Echned Zekin: It is long since I have walked this world looking for him
- Echned Zekin:to haunt him and raise terror in his life...
- Echned Zekin: but tragedy of tragedies, his spirit is neither living or dead
- Echned Zekin: he serves the needs of the source.
- Echned Zekin: He died trying to collect the water from this stream,
- Echned Zekin: and now I hang in torment for eternity.
- What can I do about that?
- Can't I just get some water?
- Player: Can't I just get some water?
- Echned Zekin: Yes, you may get some water, but first you must help me.
- Echned Zekin: Revenge is the only thing that keeps my spirit in this place
- Echned Zekin: help me take vengeance on Viyeldi and I will gladly remove
- Echned Zekin: the rocks and allow you access to the water
- Echned Zekin: What say you?
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- No, I won't take someone's life for you.
- What can I do about that?
- Not really, I just wondered if I could push that big rock.
- Player: Not really, I just wondered if I could push that big rock.
- Echned Zekin: The rock must remain, it stoppers the waters that babble.
- Echned Zekin: The noise troubles my soul and I seek some rest...
- Echned Zekin: rest from this terrible torture...
- Why are you tortured?
- What can I do about that?
- Who's asking?
- Player: Who's asking?
- (The hooded, headless figure faces you...it's quite unnerving...)
- Echned Zekin: I am Echned Zekin...and I seek peace from my eternal torture...
- What can I do about that?
- Do I know you?
- Player: Do I know you?
- Echned Zekin: I am long since dead and buried, lost in the passages of time.
- Echned Zekin: Long since have my kin departed and have I been forgotten...
- Echned Zekin: It is unlikely that you know me...
- Echned Zekin: I am a poor tortured soul looking for rest and eternal peace...
- Why are you tortured?
- What can I do about that?
- Player: What can I do about that?
- Echned Zekin: I was brutally murdered by a viscious[sic] man called Viyeldi
- Echned Zekin: I sense his presence near by, but I know that he is no longer living
- Echned Zekin: My spirit burns with the need for revenge, I shall not rest while
- Echned Zekin: I sense his spirit still.
- Echned Zekin: If you seek the pure water, you must ensure he meets his end.
- Echned Zekin: If not, you will never see the source and your journey back must ye start.
- Echned Zekin: What is your answer? Will ye put an end to Viyeldi for me?
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- Player: I'll do what I must to get the water.
- (The shapeless spirit seems to crackle with energy.)
- Echned Zekin: You would release me from my torment and the source would
- Echned Zekin: be available to you.
- Echned Zekin: However, you must realise that this will be no easy task.
- Echned Zekin: I will furnish you with a weapon which will help you
- Echned Zekin: to achieve your aims...
- Echned Zekin: Here, take this...
- (The spiritless body waves an arm and in front of you appears)
- (a dark black dagger made of pure obsidian.)
- Echned Zekin: To complete this task you must use this weapon on Viyeldi.
- (You take the dagger and place it in your inventory.)
- Echned Zekin: Use the dagger I have provided for you to complete this task.
- Echned Zekin: and then bring it to me when Viyeldi is dead.
- Ok, I'll do it.
- Player: Ok, I'll do it.
- The formless shape shimmers brightly...
- Echned Zekin: You will benefit from this decision, the source will be
- Echned Zekin: opened to you
- Echned Zekin: Bring the dagger back to me when you have completed this task.
- I've changed my mind, I can't do it.
- Player: I've changed my mind, I can't do it.
Echned Zekin: The decision is yours but you will have no other way to
Echned Zekin: get to the source.
Echned Zekin: The pure water you seek will forever be out of your reach.
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- No, I won't take someone's life for you
- No, I won't take someone's life for you.
- Player: No, I won't take someone's life for you.
- Echned Zekin: Such noble thoughts, but Viyeldi is not alive.
- Echned Zekin: He is merely a vessel by which the power of the source
- Echned Zekin: protects itself.
- Echned Zekin: If that is your decision, so be it, but expect not to
- Echned Zekin: gain the water from this stream.
- Why are you tortured?
- (A thick, green mist seems to emanate from the water...)
- (It slowly congeals into the shape of a body...)
- (Which slowly floats towards you.)
- (The shapeless entity of Echned Zekin appears in front of you.)
- Echned Zekin: Why do you return when your task is still incomplete?
- (There is an undercurrent of anger in his voice.)
- Who am I supposed to kill again?
- Player: Who am I supposed to kill again?
- Echned Zekin: Avenge upon me the death of Viyeldi, the cruel.
- Echned Zekin: And I will give you access to source...
- Er I've had second thoughts.
- I have to be going...
- Er I've had second thoughts.
- Player: Er I've had second thoughts.
- Echned Zekin: It is too late for second thoughts...
- Echned Zekin: Do as you have agreed and return to me in all haste...
- Echned Zekin: His presence tortures me so...
- Who am I supposed to kill again?
- I have to be going...
- I have to be going...
- Player: I have to be going...
- Echned Zekin: Return swiftly with the weapon as soon as your task is complete.
- (The spirit slowly fades and then disapears[sic].)
- (A thick, green mist seems to emanate from the water...)
- (It slowly congeals into the shape of a body...)
- (Which slowly floats towards you.)
- Echned Zekin: Aha, I see you have completed your task.
- Echned Zekin: I'll take that dagger from you now.
- (The formless shape of Echned Zekin takes the dagger from you.)
- (As a ghostly hand envelopes the dagger, something seems to move)
- (from the black weapon into the floating figure...)
- Echned Zekin: Aahhhhhhhhh! As I take the spirit of one departed,
- Echned Zekin: I will now reveal myself and spell out your doom.
- (A terrible fear comes over you.)
- (You are under attack!)
- (You feel a terrible sense of loss...)
- [If player flees]
- Nezikchened: Run for your life coward...
- Nezikchened: The next time you come, I will be ready for you!
- A thick, green mist seems to emanate from the water...
- It slowly congeals into the shape of a body...
- Which slowly floats towards you.
- Echned Zekin: Something seems different about you...
- Echned Zekin: Your sense of purpose seems not bent to my will...
- Echned Zekin: Give me the dagger that you used to slay Viyeldi or taste my wrath!
- I don't have the dagger.
- Player: I don't have the dagger.
- (The spirit seems to shake with anger...)
- Echned Zekin: Bring it to me with all haste.
- Echned Zekin: Or torment and pain will I bring to you...
- Echned Zekin: the spirit extends a wraithlike[sic] finger which touches you.
- Echned Zekin: You feel a searing pain jolt through your body...
- I haven't slayed Viyeldi yet.
- I have something else in mind!
- I have to be going...
- I haven't slayed Viyeldi yet.
- Player: I haven't slayed Viyeldi yet.
- Echned Zekin: Go now and slay him, as you agreed.
- Echned Zekin: If you are forfeit on this.
- Echned Zekin: And I will take you as a replacement for Viyeldi !
- I don't have the dagger.
- I have something else in mind!
- I have to be going...
- I have something else in mind!
- Player: I have something else in mind!
- Echned Zekin: You worthless Vacu, how dare you seek to trick me.
- Echned Zekin: Go and slay Viyeldi as you promised
- Echned Zekin: or I will layer upon you all the pain and
- Echned Zekin: torment I have endured all these long years!
- I don't have the dagger.
- I haven't slayed Viyeldi yet.
- I have to be going...
- I have to be going...
- Player: I have to be going...
- Echned Zekin: Return swiftly with the weapon as soon as your task is complete.
- (The spirit slowly fades and then disapears[sic].)
When the holy force is used on him[edit | edit source]
- (A bright, holy light streams from the paper spell.)
- Echned Zekin: Argghhhhh...noooooo!
- (The spirit lets out an unearthly, blood curdling scream...)
- Nezikchened: Now that I am revealed to you Vacu, so shall ye perish.
- {Second fight with Nezikchened starts}
- (A sense of fear comes over you...)
- (You feel a sense of loss...)
Using holy force on him a 2nd or more time[edit | edit source]
- (You thrust the Holy Force spell in front of the spirit.)
- (A bright, holy light streams out from the paper spell.)
- Echned Zekin: Argghhhhh...not again....!
- (The spirit lets out an unearthly, blood curdling scream...)
- (The spell seems to weaken the Demon.)
- Nezikchened: So you have returned and I am prepared for you now!
Returning to fight again [When player has killed Viyeldi, but does not have the holy force][edit | edit source]
