Dialogue

Immobile NPC 2 Dialogue

Hmm... this is ill-omened.

I am Imani of the Hakinza Sanctuary.
Might I borrow your strength?
Of late, even the holiest altars
have been stained by dark energy.
Even here, the altar nearest the Sanctuary,
I sometimes feel it seep through.
Please, go to the three principal altars nearby
and learn what's amiss.

Immobile NPC 2 Dialogue (Alt)

That's strange...
Aal, guide me...

Black Spirit Completion

Heh... I know that scent too well.
Feels just like mine, doesn't it?
In a place meant to be pure...
tasty contradiction.
Maybe your god's gone a little rotten, hmm? Hehehe.

Let's go ask Alustin
what's going on!
