Objective 1
Talk to Captain Lachír while you wait for his men to return.
- Captain Lachír: 'Ah, and then there is this. It is something else, entirely. It looks almost crusted over intentionally. Help me clear it off and we shall see what lies beneath.'
Objective 2
Help clean off the encrusted object in front of Captain Lachír.
- STRANGE ARTEFACT "Even dirty and broken, this artefact glows with a strange inner light."
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'Come!'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'Put your shoulder into, now.'
- Cleansing ...
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'Oh, what wonder, look!'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'How it shines with otherworldly light!'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'What was that? It must be my men returning. Still we should be wary.'
Objective 3
Something has come over Captain Lachír's men and they are attacking without regard.
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'Hail. Who goes there?'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'Stop! What are you doing? I command you to lower your arms'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'What... what is wrong with you? I am your captain!'
- Captain Lachír shouts, 'What fell sorcery has come over my men?'
- Captain Lachír shouts, I cut him down... with these hands. Oh, darkest horror!
- Captain Lachír shouts, Ho now, is there anybody else out there? You must stop this at once!
- Captain Lachír shouts, What is this cursed darkness? It is cold - cold to my bones. It makes my skin crawl.
- Captain Lachír shouts, Gah! This darkness saps my strength. It withers my courage!
- Captain Lachír shouts, Let us stay in the light, <class>. I think that is best.
Objective 5
There is a pause in the onslaught. Captain Lachír wishes to speak.
- Captain Lachír: When you meet Lachír's eyes in the light, there is a wildness behind a mask of bravery. It is fear.
- 'Have all my men turned on me? Can I have pushed them too far in search of something powerful, something truly magnificent? Can sullen resentment - or greed, greed and jealousy have driven to such ends?

- The Captain falls silent abruptly, brooding.
Objective 6
More of Captain Lachír's men are attacking.
- Captain Lachír shouts, What's that? More come. Ready yourself.
- Captain Lachír shouts, Gah! Have all my men turned on me? Tell me truly - it was only those who entered this place, was it not?
- Captain Lachír shouts, And why have they gone mad, but not I?
- Captain Lachír shouts, It is because they handled the iron, hour after hour, and not I.
- Captain Lachír shouts, These were my men, <name>.
- Captain Lachír shouts, Yes, I. It can be only I who did this to them. Who led them here.
- With an anguished cry, the captain runs off and is lost to the deepening shadows
- Captain Lachír shouts, If any remain unharmed, I must find them. I must stop this - this nightmare.
- Captain Lachír shouts, Do not follow me. Find safety. Go!
