Preview
The guardians at the Temple of the Lost in Bantisu have desperately called upon the player to rid the Canyon of the vicious beast nearby that has been ravaging unknowing travelers. On their journey to destroy this monster, the player stumbles upon a rather interesting encounter.
Stage 1
» Speak to Irlok in the Bantisu Air Temple at [499, 155, -4778].
- Irlok: Welcome to the Bantisu Temple, traveler. We guide lost souls onwards, be they wandering men to town or spirits unable to exit the canyon.
- Irlok: However, recently, our job has become much more difficult. The canyon shakes, and changes. Often, long-buried creatures are released as the walls shift.
- Irlok: And unfortunately, the worst has come to pass, that one of these creatures is hostile. The Bantisu monks of old collapsed the entrance to its cave to seal it away...
- Irlok: ...but the rubble has shifted, and the cave is open once more. We were not strong enough to defeat it then, and we are not strong enough to defeat it now.
- Irlok: Even trying to collapse the cave again has ended in failure, for the beast, Krolton, slays our mages and demolitionists in but an instant.
- Irlok: However, the word on the wind tells tales of humans doing the impossible as a matter of rote. Krolton must be dealt with before it leaves the cave- I beg your assistance!
- Irlok: We've no time to spare. I will prepare a short spell to bring you to the cave- Please, wait outside, and prepare yourself.
Stage 2
» Seek out the creature in the mines at [367, 30, -4923].
- Irlok: I apologize for the suddenness of this, but you must understand the urgency. We have no way of knowing when Krolton will emerge.
- Irlok: We will pray for your safety, and that your spirit will not become among those we must guide out of the canyon.
- Irlok: Now, hold tight, and godspeed!!
Irlok will then warp you to Krolton's Cave.
Stage 3
» Explore the strange realm and bargain with Death.
- ...something's gone wrong.

Climbing the mountains outside Death’s mansion:
- Death: IS MY MANSION SO DULL YOU WOULD RATHER GO ROCK CLIMBING?
Entering Death's mansion:
- Death: IT SEEMS I HAVE A NEW GUEST. WELCOME.
- Death: MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE. YOU'LL BE STAYING HERE FOR A WHILE.
- Death: NOTHING IS STOPPING YOU FROM TAKING A LOOK AROUND. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING THOUGH. AND TAKE OFF YOUR SHOES AS YOU ENTER.
- Death: WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE IT, COME TO MY OFFICE UPSTAIRS. WE HAVE A LENGTHY TALK TO HAVE.
Entering the dining hall:
- Death: I SUGGEST YOU DON'T EAT ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE SERVED HERE, I HEARD IT IS TO DIE FOR.
- Death: IF I HAD BOUGHT ANY WHEAT THIS MORNING, I'D OFFER A BISCUIT AS CONSOLATION FOR DYING.
- Death: IT'S A SHAME, REALLY. I'M TOLD I MAKE THE BEST LITTLE CHOCOLATE CHIP ONES.
Entering an empty room:
- Death: THIS IS AN EMPTY ROOM.
- Death: AROUND THE MANSION, THERE ARE MANY MORE EMPTY ROOMS.
Standing on the table in the dining hall:
- Death: FEET OFF THE TABLE PLEASE.
Standing on the bushes at the back of the Death's mansion:
- Death: THESE ARE BUSHES. NOTHING YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW.
Entering the library:
- Death: THIS IS THE LIBRARY, WHERE MY GUESTS COME TO SPEND THEIR TIME.
- Death: FEEL FREE TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ UP. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND ALL THAT.
- Death: YOU COULD READ ALL OF THEM IF YOU LIKE, BUT THEY ARE ALL IN LATIN, AND I HEARD THAT IS NOW A DEAD LANGUAGE.
Entering the basement: (Throw item to one of the spikes to open the doors.)
- Death: IT SEEMS YOU REALLY WANTED TO KNOW WHAT WAS BEHIND THIS DOOR.
- Death: I GUESS YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU WANTED...
*Drum rolls*
- Death: ANOTHER DOOR.
- Death: DO YOU REALLY THINK IT WAS WORTH YOUR TIME?
Entering the hourglasses room:
- Death: THESE HOURGLASSES SHOWS THE LIFESPAN OF HUMANS. WHEN ALL THE SAND HITS THE BOTTOM, I GET NEW GUEST.
- Death: OH LOOK, HERE'S YOURS. IT SAYS YOU'VE BEEN HERE [Times of Death] TIMES IN THE LAST MONTHS. SORRY, [times of death + 1] NOW.
- Death: MY MIND HAS SLIPPED, I FORGOT TO MENTION THE MASSIVE HOURGLASS. IT SHOWS HOW MUCH TIME THE WORLD HAS LEFT.
- Death: I'LL GIVE YOU THE TIME TO GET OVER WHAT YOU HAVE WITNESSED.
Standing on the jar in the room to the east of the empty room:
- Death: PLEASE DON'T TOUCH ANY JARS YOU FIND, ESPECIALLY MY JAR OF DIRT.
Entering Death's bedroom:
- Death: IF ANYONE ASKS, YES, I AM MARRIED. JUST BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A HEART DOESN'T MEAN THAT I CAN'T LOVE.
Entering Death's office:
- Death: THIS IS MY OFFICE. GUESS WHAT I DO HERE. HUH?
- Death: I DIE OF BOREDOM.
- Death: ...REALLY? NOTHING? YOU HUMANS HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR.
- Death: PLEASE TAKE A SEAT. LET'S REVIEW YOUR OPTIONS.
Talking to Death:
- Death: I KNOW THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ODD PLACE TO BE. SITTING IN FRONT OF DEATH.
- Death: THE TRUTH IS, YOU HAVE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES BEFORE.
- Death: BUT A MORTAL MAY NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPEAK OF MY REALM.
- Death: SO I MAKE EVERYONE WHO VISITS...SIMPLY FORGET.
- Death: IT'S EASIER ON EVERYONE THAT WAY. YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR DEATH, THAT WOULD BE WEIRD.
- Death: THIS TIME, HOWEVER, I'LL JUST HAVE TO LET YOU REMEMBER YOUR JOURNEY HERE.
- Death: WHY YOU ASK? OH, YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO FORGET THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME, RIGHT?
- Death: THAT, AND I RECEIVED SOME POSTAGE, SHALL WE SAY. SOMEONE IS INVESTED IN YOUR CONTINUED SURVIVAL.
- Death: I ALWAYS ALLOW PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-ENTER THE MORTAL PLANE ANYWAY.
- Death: CALL IT BARGAINING WITH DEATH IF YOU LIKE. TRUTH IS, I JUST GET A BIT BORED.
- Death: IF YOU WISH TO RETURN TO LIFE, AND I CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DO, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BEAT THAT WHICH SENT YOU HERE.
- Death: IN YOUR CASE, IT IS THE CREATURE KNOWN AS KROLTON. I SIMPLY ASK YOU SPEND A BIT OF TIME HERE AND PLAY A SHORT GAME BEFORE YOU GO, IN THE OTHER UPSTAIRS ROOM.
- Death: I DO ENJOY MY CHATS WITH HUMANS, THEY NEVER SAY ANYTHING.
- Death: WHICH IS ODD, BECAUSE OUT OF THE TWO OF US, THEY ARE THE ONES WITH VOCAL CHORDS.
Stage 4
» Find a way to exit the strange realm by looking around the mansion.
To the opposite end of the mansion on the same floor, there is a room with color in it that has a giant chessboard and a TV. Go to the couch and click on the remote.
- Death: THE REMOTE'S FIDDLY. YOU NEED TO BE SITTING ON THE COUCH FOR IT TO WORK.
Once you sit down on the couch with the remote, the TV will turn on. To use the remote, right-click on the answer. You will know what answer you are currently on when the letters in the option flash from left to right and back.

- Death: ...OR YOU KNOW, DON'T. I DO ENJOY HAVING A LITTLE COLOUR AROUND THE MANSION.
Stage 5
» Defeat Krolton to earn your way back to the living.
- Death: ...AND ANOTHER THING. GIVEN WHAT I SAID EARLIER, IT FEELS RIGHT TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING.
- Death: SO LONG AS THE BEAST THAT KILLED YOU DIES BY SOMETHING YOU CAUSE, YOU WILL RETURN TO LIFE. SO BE AS RECKLESS AS YOU WANT.
- Death: AND IF YOU ARE TOO RECKLESS, THAT WILL BE A VALUABLE LESSON TO YOU. SINCE KROLTON HAS NOTICED YOU AGAIN, I'LL LEAVE YOU TO IT.

Stage 6
» Take proof of Krolton's demise to Irlok at [499, 155, -4778]
- Irlok: Oh, thank goodness. You've returned- not free of wear, but certainly alive. Did you need to flee from Krolton, or is he...?
- Irlok: Truly? The beast is dead?
- Irlok: Gracious, I don't think I've ever been so relieved. Krolton was responsible for thousands of deaths long ago. You've prevented an oncoming massacre!
- Irlok: Bantisu Temple owes you a great deal. Here then- a suitable reward.
- Irlok: A powerful Bantisu artifact, as a reward for defeating a beast that menaced in antiquated times.
- Irlok: Safe travels, human. Whether it was luck or strength that had you prevail, I pray it will not fail you in the future.
