The Forbidden — vindictus

Unlocked by

Go to Errol's House and talk with Kean about the mine.

Talk to Kean.

Kean
What do you make of what we saw at the mine? Wood Men are usually used in basic training for new mercenaries and soldiers. I've never heard of a Wood Man that can move like the ones we saw. And those winged creatures we met on the road... Idle speculation won't get us anywhere. There's only one thing to do. We have to go back.

Kean Knight
Ugh... It's my leg. That collapse got me... I'm glad you're here. I'd be in pretty poor shape now if I'd come here alone. ...What are those? They look like Fomors... Ow... Maybe it's time we returned to town.
