Thrawn, the Curious
I see you have returned in one piece. Welcome back, hunter!
I found these broken keys... are they of any use still?
Let's see... yes, yes, I can at least make you a blueprint out of them, but you will have to gather the materials yourself.
Let's do it.
Welcome back, hunter!
I found this key, maybe you can help me?
This key... so strange... so peculiar.{^n}I sense powerful magic emanating from it. I have to examine it closely? May I have it?
Sure, examine it.
*examines the key and searches for notes in one of his books*
...
Yes, I have discovered the source of this strange magic, or rather its connection.{^n}{^n}It is a doing of our maddened brothers, but for what purpose I cannot tell.{^n}However, the key has some connection to ancient places in Cairn.{^n}{^n}I must ask of you to go and investigate these ancient places as we all may be in danger, should we not intervene.{^n}Take this key and blueprint and go. GO NOW!
I will do as you ask.
This can wait.
Oh... oh. I see you already know what has to be done. Go on with your doings in the ancient places, you are on the right track.
Ok.
Any luck unveiling the key's secret?

Good to see you Thrawn.
Did you talk to Nebe yet?

Not yet.
Urgh, why did we bring that filth with us?
Nebe shows true signs of regret. He explained everything to me.
Oh?! What fairy tale did he tell you?
...
Oh! Hm... I have heard of the Arkovian curse being able to spread before, but never concerned myself with it. Realistically, there is not much we can do about it. Laveris is such a romantic. His ambitions were always filled with hope and rainbows. I always told him to keep his expectations in check, to keep his outlook grounded in reality. *frowns* And now look at him. He is stuck with a broken mind in the eternities beyond. *sigh*
Sounds pretty grim.
Anyway, we can't change what happened. We need to find Laveris and capture him. The situation is just getting worse by the minute. Would you mind having another chat with Nebe? If he is really willing to help... Let him prove it. Make him cough up where Laveris is headed towards.
I'll talk to him.
Let me talk to Nebe. He seemed regretful of his actions. I might be able to convince him to help us.
Really? Are you sure he isn't fooling you.
He clearly stated that siding with Laveris was a mistake.
Interesting. Fine. Be my guest. It's worth a shot.
I think so as well.
Let me talk to him first.
You fought well, comrade. What an unfortunate ending to our battle. *grits teeth* We weren't able to capture Laveris after all. We have to regroup and figure out what to do! Maybe there is still a way to find him. We can't just have it end like this. Who knows what future disasters he'll end up causing.
Maybe his underling will be of use.
