Dialogue
You meet Artix, Vampire Slayer "E", the Were-King, and Safiria outside Darkovia

«You»: Whoa! What are all of you doing here? I've come to find the prime Darkness Orb. Artix: We all know about your quest. Warlic told me, I told E, and E suggested we contact Queen Safiria and the Were-King. E: Though I feel a bit uncomfortable being so close to these two, and not doing my job. Safiria: Do you mean to say 'trying' to do your job, VampireSlayer? This is no more pleasant for me, having to cooperate with this mangy mutt yet again. Were-King: You can call off our truce whenever you like, you slimy undead. But don't forget that Nightbane's half-dragon vampires and werewolves still plague both of our kingdoms. «You»: I only need to know where the Orb of Darkness might be. Safiria: I knew this time would come... I have lived many centuries and enjoyed hearing the myths about the Devourer as passed from generation to generation of the living. Safiria: It makes sense, you know-- getting all of the prime elemental orbs in one place. Apart, they have caused much trouble-- everyone fighting over them. But together-- Safiria: Who may say what power they can give us? There is one individual who now possesses the Darkness Orb, and your instincts were correct. Safiria: He is here, in Darkovia. «You»: Well, who is it? Safiria: THAT I do not know. For the information I have did not come to me in the form of language. It is from my familiars... creatures of darkness ill-equipped to speak. Safiria: I only see in shadows what they see. But in those shadows, I see a figure. And the power of the Orb is easy to see. He is one man, and he has the orb. Safiria: There are four paths which can take us to him. Each of us may be able to help you more on one of those paths. Choose which of us will come with you, and we will go find the Orb.

Necromancer: My, my... someone has found me. You need not tell me why you are here-- I already know. But let me ask you a few questions to see if you are worthy of taking THIS from me:


 * The Darkness Orb floats out

Necromancer: First, tell me the name of the dragon that I reanimated at the end of the last Great Dragon War.
 * Answer


 * It was Krenos!
 * It was Drakath!
 * It was Serlissa!

Necromancer: It was Drakath who I made Undead. Now, tell me what set of weapons are my favorite... hehehe.
 * Answer


 * Flower Weapons!
 * Sludge Weapons!
 * Doom weapons!

Necromancer: Ahh yes... the Doom Weapons. I remember them fondly. Treasures, all. Necromancer: Now, lastly, please tell me-- Do you want me to destroy you?
 * Answer


 * Yes!
 * No!

Necromancer: Very well, then-- hehehe. Did you actually think I would allow you to just walk up on me and TAKE my prime Orb of Darkness???

If you have not trained the Necromancer Class: Necromancer: It is too bad you are not a Necromancer-- I may have been persuaded to let you live!
 * Fight

If you have trained the Necromancer Class: Necromancer: Because you are a fellow Necromancer, I think I will destroy you as quickly as possible. It won't be a painless death though...
 * Fight!
