Walkthrough

Speak to Mortimer.

Mortimer:

Out there... ancient creatures... lurking beneath the surface... cloaked in darkness... they then burst forth to feast on the souls of the recently departed! Trust me. I've seen them! The others think I am mad but mark my words... it is true.

Player:

(Ranger) That sounds like you've seen the Devourer.
(Mercenary) Surely you mean the Devourer, ey?

Mortimer:

No, no, no... but... that damned thing has likely opened their passage to the surface. These... creatures. They are something else. It is not but one threat... it is... many. And I fear what it means for Clearfell.

Player:

(Ranger) I won't let them destroy my forest.
(Mercenary) I'll add it to the list.

Mortimer:

Depose them. Cave in the cracks. Cave in whatever you find. We've got enough trouble here as it is!

Player:

(Ranger)
(Mercenary) Alright. I'll mess 'em up for ya.

I knew I could count on you!
