Locations/Replays: Westmere
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): The water is tainted.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): Surmonox is many things but creative isn't one of them. At least he's predictable.
Hero: Why does Surmonox want to spread this disease?
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): It's not a disease, it's a weapon.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): The Bane is being spread on the orders of a creature called XERON KULDRAH.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): It spreads like a magically enhanced virus.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): It causes the face and other bits of the infected creature to rot away, taking their identity.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): It also causes spikes of organic metal to sprout along with other mutations.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): The infected go insane. They are rage-fueled monsters but always loyal to Xeron and his generals.
Hero: What can you tell me about Xeron?
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): He's a ruthless warlord who will stop at nothing to reach his goals.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): He is never without his "weapons"… The Hexed Blade, The Shield, and The Crazed Axe.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): These are his generals.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): SURMONOX, The Shield, is here in Westmere working to spread the Bane.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): He's the former leader of his people, the Grieve, and now leads Xeron's heavy division.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): Next is KRONE GAHN, the Crazed Axe, Xeron's pet.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): That thing is more rabid beast than person, but that just makes it more dangerous.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): Finally there's MURIN DELAL, the Hexblade. She's Xeron's magic specialist and head of his mage division.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): She is also the one who first developed the Bane spellserum, to make troops for Xeron.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): XERON and his group destroyed several worlds before me and my companions stopped him and imprisoned him and his generals.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): They escaped?
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): They did, and then headed straight for Lore. I need to find out why…
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): … but if we don't stop Surmonox from spreading the Bane, then there will be nothing to save.
Thyton(Shadow Specialist): I wasn't able to get everyone into the barn. See if you can find any survivors.
Hero: I'm on it.
