Oh, good...the mercenaries again.

Pfft.

I'm here.

You're late. What were you all doing this time?

My apologies.
The trip from Colhen...

I don't want ot hear it. No excuses.
Now, you listen to me.

The main Fomor force is currently stationed at Fobellow Prairie.

Even if you do head an independant force,
we can limit your actions for the safety of all.

It is our right to place such restrictions
to prevent others from disrupting our operations.

That being the case, perhaps you would like to
explain why you have blatantly defied our orders?

....

Aodhan, will you take responsibility for this situation?

Hey, the captain has done nothing wrong.
We were the ones who acted independently!

That is no excuse. A commander must be responsible for his men.

It looks even worse if your
excuse is that you did not know.

Now, I want your reason for invading the prairie. Why were you there?

....

This is the reason we went to the prairie.

(Aodhan takes out a broken mirror fragment.)

What is this?

Black Hammer dropped this during the attack on Colhen.

And we care because...?

According to our research, this was used for
some kind of a contract.

This is just one piece, and we've heard rumor that gathering all the pieces will cause some great chaos.

I have come to report this.

Who did you hear this from?

I heard it from the magician, Brynn, of Colhen.

Hmph. What would a mere magician from
a small country town know...

....

We cannot take action with inadequate information.
We will investiaget the matter here.

(As Riordan looks around, Marrec turns away.)

You! Speak to the Magician's Guild of this issue.

I want the advice of a Great Magician at the very least.

What is it now?

Why is it that the Royal Army always
comes to me for help?

You people should take care of
your own business.

Wait...wait! I feel powerful magic.
What is that you have?

What...is this...

(Jarlath slowly examined the mirror fragment intently.)

I'm not exactly sure what this is,
but it is certainly proof of a contract.

Also... Hmm, there is something written on it,
but it's not enough to understand.

Is this the only piece you have?
(You explain about the other.)

What? There's another one?
Then bring that one to me.

With another, I may be able to read the writing...

What? Oh, that mirror fragment?
Hey, good timing, then.

I don't know what this is,
but Krunk wants it away from him.

He says it has some kind of bad feeling
about it. Hope you can figure it out.

<Lethor>, I don't know what's going on,
but be careful. None of this sounds good.

Here, let me see it.

(Jarlath puts the two pieces together,
and begins reading the inscription.)

The one with four...
The summoner of darkness...

Bringer of endless terror...
The one named...

Oh, well of course it ends there.
Still, nothing about that sounds good.

This here seems to be a type of a mark
for summoning one called Darkness.

But if this contains that level of magical power...

(Jarlath fixes his eyes on yours.)

Be careful. Both the one who uses this and
the one this contract is bound to sound...

These are not normal opponents.
This could be unlike anything we've face...
