Background
For over a hundred years, the Kintai Elves have battled a mysterious blight, seemingly brought on by the Din of Stone. It has already consumed once-beautiful Adagím, and now threatens the rest of the Elven glades. An investigation by the Rangers Faeron and Rhadrog has tracked the source of the blight to The Folly of Nagakhêdi, but what dangers lurk inside the ancient and abandoned wonder?
Objective 1
Defeat the threats that lurk within The Folly of Nagakhêdi.
- Faeron says, "A wonder of the ancient world.... How long has it been since anyone has tread this hall?"
- Rhadrog says, "The blight is everywhere in here. It coats every surface!"
- Irsinith says, "You are right, Ranger. As we crossed the threshold, I could feel the air choke with foul spores. We may indeed be closing in on its source."
- Irsinith shouts, "Hold... on your guard! Something approaches!"
- Commander Mornang says, "Intruders! Sisters, blockade the hall! Uruk-hai, dispatch these vermin should they break through!"
- Rhadrog says, "They can summon the blight at will?"
- Faeron says, "Rhadrog, did you see the emblem on their shields?"
- Rhadrog says, "Aye. The heraldry of Lhaereth the Stained."
- Rhadrog says, "Do you think she is here? Does she mean to weaponize this blight somehow?"
- Faeron says, "There is only one way to find out. We must find a way past this wall of blight."
- Rhadrog says, "Right! We have thwarted her plans before, we can do it again! Are you with us, Irsinith?"
- Irsinith says, "For so long I have felt nothing but helplessness in the face of this blight. We Kintai have attempted to cleanse it for over a hundred years, to no avail."
- Faeron says, "You are right to be apprehensive, but to do nothing in the face of evil grants it the victory!"
- Irsinith says, "The enthusiasm of Men is nothing short of inspiring."
- Irsinith says, "We must try. I will be able to break through this wall, but it will take time. You must defend me while I concentrate."
- Faeron says, "That's the spirit! In the meantime, see if you can find another way. The passage there looks unblocked."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "The Lady of Blight calls to you. Join us willingly, or serve, bound by blood."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Hurry, sisters! Intruders approach!"
- Morroval Bloodsinger shouts, "The Lady of Blight calls to you!"
- Morroval Bloodsinger shouts, "Forgive us, mother.... We have failed you..."
- Badharál the Gorger shouts, "Hehehe... mother..."
- Badharál the Gorger shouts, "I was a disappointment to my mother as well. I did not come when called..."
- Badharál the Gorger shouts, "But her voice is so quiet now..."
- Badharál the Gorger shouts, "No matter. More food for me!"
- Badharál the Gorger says, "My children will arrive soon."
- Badharál the Gorger says, "A wondrous gift for you."
- Badharál the Gorger says, "Fear takes your heart."
- Badharál the Gorger says, "You will feel my fury!"
- Badharál the Gorger says, "My children have arrived!"
- Badharál the Gorger says, "Weavers - to me!"
- Badharál the Gorger says, "No! My children! Such cruelty and carelessness will not go unpunished!"
- Badharál the Gorger says, "Hee hee hee hee..."
- Faeron shouts, "Irsinith is breaking through the blight! See if you can find a way back!"
- Rhadrog shouts, "What... what are they doing to that troll?"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Halt!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "You will go no further. We will not allow you to interfere with Mother's work."
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Die, like the helpless vermin you are!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Hahahaha..."
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "I remember you, Gondorian. You and the grey-cloaked one continue to pursue me, I see."
- Rhadrog shouts, "She knows who we are?"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Let them pass, daughter. They may have the honour of testing my newest experiment."
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "As you wish, Mother."
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Awaken, Maukhorn."
- Maukhorn shouts, "Urgh..."
- Maukhorn shouts, "Mother..."
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Mother bids you use your new strength to destroy these intruders."
- Maukhorn shouts, "Maukhorn... destroy... for... MOTHER!"
- Faeron shouts, "They have returned! Irsinith has cleared a way through on the other side."
- Rhadrog shouts, "The moment that passage was unblocked, morvul and Uruk-hai poured through!"
- Rhadrog shouts, "This cavern is immense! How deep does it go?"
- Faeron shouts, "Be careful, more of Lhaereth's forces may be inside. Rhadrog, perhaps you should go with them?"
- Rhadrog shouts, "The Men building the wonder must have accidentally broken their way in. Then I suppose the blight forced them to abandon it..."
- Rhadrog shouts, "Aye, good idea. Keep Irsinith safe!"
- Rhadrog shouts, "Faeron! Lhaereth, she is here! She spoke to me! She remembers us!"
- Faeron shouts, "Troubling news. Irsinith has cleared the blight from the entry, should we need reinforcements."
- Irsinith shouts, "We are nearer to the source, but I feel something else... a terrible power deep below us."
- Commander Mornang shouts, "The intruders persist!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Delay them, my children, while I seize my grand prize!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "As you wish, Mother! Children of Lhaereth, ATTACK!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "You are worthy adversaries. Come forward, and face the full might of the Legion of Lhaereth!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Sisters, do you not think it unfair for the three of us to fight them at once? We should give them a sporting chance!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "I agree. Any one of us is more than a match for them."
- Commander Mornang shouts, "Hmph. I would prefer we simply crush them and be done with it... but if that is your wish, you may have your entertainment."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Hahaha! It will be fun!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "Our enemies may choose which of us they would fight. Choose wisely!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "You wish to face the strongest daughter of Lhaereth the Stained? I respect your decision."
- Commander Mornang shouts, "Prepare to face the full might of the Legion!"
- Commander Mornang says, "Come, Legion of Lhaereth!"
- Commander Mornang says, "Weak!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, Rain death upon them, sisters!
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Sing for them, sisters! Let their blood flow freely!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "I must retreat for now!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Allow me to show you how it is done, sisters!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Mmmm…"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Ahhh, what a feast!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "You cannot resist me!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Delicious..."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Keep bleeding for me, little ones!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "Ah... Powerful little morsels, aren't you?"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Pathetic. I will end them for you, sister!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "None of you are safe from my blades!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "Strike from the shadows, sisters!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "Poisoned blades, find your marks!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "Stalk our prey, sisters!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Your blades are sharp as well!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris shouts, "How can this be? They have defeated us all?"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow shouts, "Perhaps we underestimated them, sisters."
- Commander Mornang shouts, "Then let us face them together!"
- Commander Mornang shouts, "Mervyl, darken the skies!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "An easy kill."
- Commander Mornang says, "You were nothing."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Aww, mortals are so fragile!"
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Come to me, little morsels!"
- Commander Mornang says, "Legion! Your Commander calls!"
- Commander Mornang says, "Noooo! Mother, I have failed you!"
- Cristhir the Night-shadow says, "Argh... I underestimated my prey..."
- Blood Sorceress Agaris says, "Ack! Deadly little morsels!"
- Irsinith shouts, "We have wasted enough time as playthings for Lhaereth's spawn."
- Faeron shouts, "Agreed. We must not allow her to seize whatever this 'grand prize' is...."
- Irsinith shouts, "That terrible presence again... I feel it growing. It is near, and... awakening?"
- Rhadrog shouts, "Irsinith! Are you all right?"
- Irsinith shouts, "Yes, but this sense of dread is overwhelming. I fear we may be too late."
- Irsinith shouts, "We must press on! We cannot allow Lhaereth to loose this monstrous force on Mûr Ghala!"
- Rhadrog shouts, "Irsinith! Wait!"
- Faeron shouts, "We cannot allow her to face Lhaereth alone."
- Rhadrog shouts, "You're right, but can we hope to stand against both Lhaereth AND whatever else is down there?"
- Faeron shouts, "I see no other options."
- Rhadrog shouts, "Ugh..."
- Faeron shouts, "There she is. The Lady of Blight."
- Rhadrog shouts, "But what is THAT?"
- Irsinith shouts, "A Balrog..."
- Irsinith shouts, "A-Kintai li tathrab, uchulvól! A-dhôi-thalaidh sishta dâd, ai kilud hi-dorolod ad-inidh tâd!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "SILENCE!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Hear me, ally of old. Those of us who fought in Morgoth's name at the dawn of this world share a bond."
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Many of your brethren are gone. The elder dragons are gone. Even Sauron is gone."
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "I beseech you; let those of us who remain join forces. Let us band together and claim what is rightfully ours: dominion over Middle-earth!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Excellent. Let us start with them!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Your meddling in my affairs is at an end! Revenge will finally be mine!"
- Irsinith shouts, "Libud ad-Amúma. Dâd adu a-dhô richa hâth tâd!"
- Irsinith shouts, "You must defeat it, or it will destroy Mûr Ghala!"
- The spores surrounding Zamâktar the Putrescent begin to burst.
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "My plague erupts!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "The blight grows!"
- Irsinith shouts, "The Balrog has been freed! Move it out of the blighted waters to weaken it!"
- The pustules on Zamâktar the Putrescent fester and explode.
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Succumb to the rot!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Not again!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "I do not leave empty-handed, fools! This blight runs deep, and I will claim its source!"
- Lhaereth the Stained shouts, "Pray we do not meet again!"
- Faeron shouts, "She is gone. Is everyone all right?"
- Irsinith shouts, "We truly prevailed!"
- Irsinith shouts, "With the Balrog defeated and the Lady of Blight's forces removed, we Kintai should be able to seal the blight within this place."
- Irsinith shouts, "Adagím, and the rest of our forest, should begin to heal."
- Rhadrog shouts, "That is great news!"
- Irsinith shouts, "However, I believe Lhaereth's words were true: This was not the source of the blight."
- Irsinith shouts, "I can feel something else deep below the earth. Something... dormant."
- Faeron shouts, "I am sure this is not the last we have seen of the Lady of Blight."
- Faeron shouts, But for now, let us rest, and celebrate our victory.
