Shadow of the Storm dialogue
First interaction
- Matthew: Hello. Are you Josef's replacement?
- Select an Option
- Yes, I suppose I am.
- Player: Yes, I suppose I am.
- Matthew: It just goes to show how little Denath values us.
- Player: What do you mean?
- Matthew: Denath told us we would learn the secrets of demonic magic, but all we've done is memorize one incantation. And now he replaces poor Josef with the next person who comes along!
- (End of dialogue)
- Do you have the demonic sigil mould?
- Player: Do you have the demonic sigil mould?
- Matthew: No, I think Jennifer has it.
- (End of dialogue)
- Do you know what happened to Josef?
- Player: Do you know what happened to Josef?
- Matthew: Shh! Listen, Denath doesn't know this...
- Matthew: When we joined him, Denath told us we were going to learn all the secrets of demonic magic, but we still don't know anything.
- Matthew: The others, they just think they're terribly evil, with their sigils and the incantation they learned by rote. But Josef and I wanted more - we wanted to know how it worked.
- Matthew: Josef was more curious than me. Last night, he secretly read a book that Denath was keeping from us. He didn't know I was awake, but I saw what happened.
- Matthew: I saw him read it, and then his face turned white, and he took the book and ran through the portal.
- Matthew: But Denath was waking up, and when he saw Josef was gone he went through the portal to look for him. A bit later Denath returned, without Josef or the book.
- Matthew: Josef didn't have money for the magic carpet, and he can't have got far in the desert at night with that heavy book.
- Matthew: Josef must have hidden the book somewhere in the ruins, before Denath followed him. If you could find it, we'd know what it was that frightened him. We'd know what Denath is really up to!
- (End of dialogue)
Talking to Matthew again without the book
- Matthew: Did you find that book?
- Select an Option
- Not yet.
- Matthew: I really want to know what's in it. I think Denath is hiding something from us, but we won't know what unless we read that book!
- (End of dialogue)
- Do you have the demonic sigil mould?
- (Same as above)
Talking to Matthew while holding the book
- Matthew: Did you find that book?
- Player: Yes. The golem saw Josef hide it in one of the broken kilns in the city.
- Matthew: Did the golem see what happened to Josef?
- Player: It said Denath killed him.
- Matthew: Oh no!
- Matthew: I knew Denath was a dark wizard but I didn't think he'd kill one of his disciples.
- Matthew: Let me look at the book then.
- Matthew quickly reads the book then hands it back to you.
- Matthew: I don't understand. What's in here that Denath thought was worth killing over? Josef must have worked something out - but what?
- Matthew: But look at the incantation in the book. The words are in the reverse order to the order that Denath taught us.
- Player: The incantation in the book is backwards?
- Matthew: More likely the book has the correct incantation and the one Denath taught us was backwards. But what does that mean?
- Matthew: Player, I'm not happy about this ritual. I don't think Agrith-Naar is going to grant all our wishes, I think he's going to kill us all. But if I try to stop it, Denath will kill me like he did Josef!
- Player: Don't worry. I'm here to kill the demon!
- Player: This is the demon-slaying sword Silverlight, the only weapon that can kill Agrith-Naar!
- Matthew: Thank goodness! I think Denath is nearly ready for the ritual. We must prepare!
- (End of dialogue)
After completing the incantation
- Jennifer: Oh my gods!
- Eric: He disappeared!
- Patrick: Where'd he go?
- Matthew: Of course! How could we be so stupid?
- Player: What happened?
- Matthew: What do you get when you perform a summoning ritual backwards?
- Matthew: Denath was Agrith-Naar all along! We've just helped him return to his own dimension!
- Jennifer: What was that?!
- Tanya: Look! The portal's closing!
- Evil Dave: I'm getting out of here!
- Matthew: No, don't leave!
- Matthew: Who knows what Denath could do now?
- Matthew: We've got to perform the ritual again so you can kill Agrith-Naar. But we need eight people!
- Matthew: Quick, Player, you've got to get those three to come back! And you'd better take Denath's sigil and find one more person to help.
- (End of dialogue)
Talking to Matthew after completing the incantation
- Matthew: We've got to perform the ritual again, forwards this time, so you can kill Agrith-Naar. I'll prepare for it here while you find four more people.
- Select an Option
- I don't understand what happened!
- Player: I don't understand what happened!
- Matthew: Denath must have been Agrith-Naar all along!
- Matthew: Ellemar's book said that Agrith-Naar can only use his powerful magics from the demon plane.
- Matthew: Ellemar must have trapped him in human form to stop him using his magics. That must be what the last pages of the book said.
- Matthew: So the reason he assembled us was to send him back to his own plane, where he would be much more powerful! That's why the ritual was backwards!
- Matthew: He's already started to close the portal to trap us. Who knows what else he could do?
- Matthew: But if we can perform the ritual forwards then you can kill him using Silverlight and end his evil magics once and for all!
- Matthew: We've got to perform the ritual again, forwards this time, so you can kill Agrith-Naar. I'll prepare for it here while you find four more people.
- (End of dialogue)
- Okay.
- Player: Okay!
- Matthew: Hurry!
- (End of dialogue)
After gathering the required people to do a second incantation
- Matthew: We've got eight people now. Are you ready to summon Agrith-Naar and slay him?
- Select an Option
- No.
- Player: No.
- Matthew: Do hurry! We haven't got much time!
- Matthew: We've got eight people now. Are you ready to summon Agrith-Naar and slay him?
- (End of dialogue)
- Yes.
- Player: Yes.
- Matthew: *gulp* Okay, here we go...
- (End of dialogue)
