I have been watching this little island for some time, heroes, and I am greatly troubled. I fear that the heinous crimes of the Council (and of those they have allied themselves with) may spell the destruction of this entire planet, its people, and all its glorious mysteries. I must beg you to help me. Perhaps together, we can stand between this Earth and the coming disaster. You will earn my trust if you can journey into Vampyr Mountain and take down a clutch of vampyri. Only true heroes would risk such a feat.

| - Hmm. I'm afraid your friend, Moonfire, is mistaken. These schematics do not describe any machine that sucks energy. On the contrary. They describe a machine that transmits energy, directly into a human body. I think this machine is what allowed Arakhn to force those Nictus fragments on her recruits. What's worse, these plans describe how to make the machine stronger!
I believe this Arakhn plans to permanently merge living Nictus with hundreds of Paragon citizens. The machine would allow her to do this without the host's participation or consent. We would become creatures like her, twisted by evil, able only to serve as vessels for our Nictus masters.
- When you rescued Dr. Roberta Todd from Arakhn's troops, she told you:
'I presume you've heard of me. Dr. Roberta Todd? The famous kineticist? Well, I've done some of the premier work in energy transference. I believe that is why that dreadful woman had me kidnapped.'
'You see, she wanted me to work on a machine. It was a most powerful device, able to transport energy across thousands of light years. The project was fascinating, but the work conditions left something to be desired. That terrible face of hers! I will never forget it!'
- You found this list of names on a computer in one of Arakhn's bases. It lists the names of several prominent Paragon citizens, including City Council members, philanthropists, and several heroes.
- One of the Galaxy archons gasped, 'I'll tell you what you want to know. Arakhn is a cruel mistress, anyway. She is concerned not with the needs of her soldiers, but only the survival of her precious Nictus!'
- All right, let's see that flask. Oh. Oh, my. The darkness within this bottle is a life form of some kind. No. It is a fragment of a life form. A scrap of living energy, full of malice and hunger. I can only guess at the power of a full specimen of the species. I'm glad this is merely a piece of one!
If you are willing, I will craft a simple spell to put this energy under your control.
- This flask contains an inky coil of vapor that seems to writhe with a life of its own.
- One of the hostages you rescued from Arakhn's Galaxy troops told you:
'When I joined up, I never knew it would be like this! Those Galaxy troops said they would implant us with Nictus fragments. I don't even know what those are, but they said it would turn us into powerful Galaxy soldiers ourselves. Or, if we weren't so lucky, it would turn into war wolves! I don't want to be a war wolf!
'There was a prisoner here, but they moved her yesterday. Her name was Dr. Roberta Todd. I don't know what they want with her, but I'm sure it's something awful!'
- You recovered these plans from one of Arakhn's bases. They seem to describe a machine with vast energy transfer capabilities.

| DESC
| - This Nictus Fragment allows you to tap the primal forces of your Nictus power to create an essence draining conduit between a foe and yourself. This will transfer hit points from your enemy to yourself. Foes drained in this manner have their attack and movement speed reduced. The fragment will allow you to perform this attack about 50 times before becoming useless.
|
| Entrance
| - The coordinates seem to be accurate. You have stepped right into a Council base.
- You see a shadow flit across the ceiling. A trick of the light? Or something else?
- Darkness seems to cloak this place.
- Strange creatures whisper in the dark.
- You hear the hiss of perfectly tuned machinery.
- You hear the shuffling of clawed animal feet.
- The air is hot with the war wolves' steamy, animal breath.

| - I have been watching this little island for some time, heroes, and I am greatly troubled. I fear that the heinous crimes of the Council (and of those they have allied themselves with) may spell the destruction of this entire planet, its people, and all its glorious mysteries. I must beg you to help me. Perhaps together, we can stand between this Earth and the coming disaster. Before we begin, know that I am not of this world. Or, not entirely. This body was born here, yes, but there is much more to me now. You see, my body was fused with the life force of a Kheldian, a wise but short-lived alien race. In a very real sense, there is more to me than just a single soul. If we continue, you will learn things that are secret to most humans. I must be able to trust you. You will earn my trust if you can journey into Vampyr Mountain and take down a clutch of vampyri. Only true heroes would risk such a feat.
* Defeat all vampyri in cave Thank you, my friends. I suppose I can trust you now. Remember, what you learn from me is not for other ears. I will tell you of the villainies of the Council, and, most particularly, those of the wicked Arakhn.
