HEY - YOU THAT ONE THAT KILL ALL! YOU GET ME MAGIC BANNER OR WE ATTACK! YOU NO LEAVE WITH LIFE! YOU KILL BIG UGLIES AND GIVE BACK MAGIC. GO PAST CORNER AND DOOR, FIND UGLIES. YOU GIVE, YOU GO!
YOU GIVE! YES, GOOD! GO NOW, WE STRONG. WE KILL ALL WITH BIG MAGIC!
...AND SO, LOCKED BEYOND THE GATEWAY OF BLOOD AND PAST THE HALL OF FIRE, VALOR AWAITS FOR HERO OF LIGHT TO AWAKEN...
BEYOND THE HALL OF HEROES LIES THE CHAMBER OF BONE. ETERNAL DEATH AWAITS ANY WHO WOULD SEEK TO STEAL THE TREASURES SECURED WITHIN THIS ROOM. SO SPEAKS THE LORD OF TERROR, AND SO IT IS WRITTEN.
I CAN SEE WHAT YOU SEE NOT.
VISION MILKY THEN EYES ROT.
WHEN YOU TURN THEY WILL BE GONE,
WHISPERING THEIR HIDDEN SONG.
THEN YOU SEE WHAT CANNOT BE,
SHADOWS MOVE WHERE LIGHT SHOULD BE.
OUT OF DARKNESS, OUT OF MIND,
CAST DOWN INTO THE HALLS OF THE BLIND.
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? INTERESTING, IT LOOKS LIKE A BOOK OF REAGENTS. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR A BLACK MUSHROOM. IT SHOULD BE FAIRLY LARGE AND EASY TO IDENTIFY. IF YOU FIND IT, BRING IT TO ME, WON'T YOU?
YES, THIS WILL BE PERFECT FOR A BREW THAT I AM CREATING. BY THE WAY, THE HEALER IS LOOKING FOR A BRAIN OF SOME DEMON OR ANOTHER SO HE CAN TREAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AFFLICTED BY THEIR POISONOUS VENOM. I BELIEVE THAT HE INTENDS TO MAKE AN ELIXIR FROM IT. IF YOU HELP HIM FIND WHAT HE NEEDS, PLEASE SEE IF YOU CAN GET A SAMPLE OF THE ELIXIR FOR ME.
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT! THIS IS THE ANVIL OF FURY - GOOD WORK, MY FRIEND. NOW WE'LL SHOW THOSE BASTARDS THAT THERE ARE NO WEAPONS IN HELL MORE DEADLY THAN THOSE MADE BY MEN! TAKE THIS AND MAY LIGHT PROTECT YOU.
PLEASE, DON'T KILL ME, JUST HEAR ME OUT. I WAS ONCE CAPTAIN OF KING LEORIC'S KNIGHTS, UPHOLDING THE LAWS OF THIS LAND WITH JUSTICE AND HONOR. THEN HIS DARK CURSE FELL UPON US FOR THE ROLE WE PLAYED IN HIS TRAGIC DEATH. AS MY FELLOW KNIGHTS SUCCUMBER TO THEIR TWISTED FATE, I FLED FROM THE KING'S BURIAL CHAMBER, SEARCHING FOR SOME WAY TO FREE MYSELF FROM THE CURSE, I FAILED...
I HAVE HEARD OF A GOLDEN ELIXIR THAT COULD LIFT THE CURSE AND ALLOW MY SOUL TO REST, BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND IT. MY STRENGHT NOW WANES, AND WITH IT THE LAST OF MY HUMANITY AS WELL. PLEASE AID ME AND FIND THE ELIXIR. I WILL REPAY YOUR EFFORTS - I SWEAR UPON MY HONOR.
YOU HAVE SAVED MY SOUL FROM DAMNATION, AND FOR THAT I AM IN YOUR DEBT. IF THERE IS EVER A WAY THAT I CAN REPAY YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE I WILL FIND IT, BUT FOR NOW - TAKE MY HELM. ON THE JOURNEY I AM ABOUT TO TAKE I WILL HAVE LITTLE USE FOR IT. MAY IT PROTECT YOU AGAINST THE DARK POWERS BELOW. GO WITH THE LIGHT, MY FRIEND...
THIS DOES NOT BODE WELL, FOR IT CONFIRMS MY DARKEST FEARS. WHILE I DID NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO BELIEVE THE ANCIENT LEGENDS, I CANNOT DENY THEM NOW. PERHAPS THE TIME HAS COME TO REVEAL WHO I AM.
MY TRUE NAME IS DECKARD CAIN THE ELDER, AND I AM THE LAST DESCENDANT OF AN ANCIENT BROTHERHOOD THAT WAS DEDICATED TO SAFEGUARDING THE SECRETS OF A TIMELESS EVIL. AN EVIL THAT QUITE OBVIOUSLY HAS NOW BEEN RELEASED. THE ARCHBISHOP LAZARUS, ONCE KING LEORIC'S MOST TRUSTED ADVISOR, LED A PARTY OF SIMPLE TOWNSFOLK INTO LABYRINTH TO FIND THE KING'S MISSING SON, ALBRECHT. QUITE SOME TIME PASSED BEFORE THEY RETURNED, AND ONLY A FEW OF THEN ESCAPED WITH THEIR LIVES.
CURSE ME FOR A FOOL! I SHOULD HAVE SUSPECTED HIS VEILED TREACHERY THEN. IT MUST HAVE BEEN LAZARUS HIMSELF WHO KIDNAPPED ALBRECHT AND HAS SINCE HIDDEN HIM WITHIN THE LABYRINTH. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ARCHBISHOP TURNED TO THE DARKNESS, OR WHAT HIS INTEREST IS IN THE CHILD. UNLESS HE MEANS TO SACRIFICE HIM TO HIS DARK MASTERS!
THAT MUST BE WHAT HE HAS PLANNED! THE SURVIVORS OF HIS 'RESCUE PARTY' SAY THAT LAZARUS WAS LAST SEEN RUNNING INTO THE DEEPEST BOWELS OF THE LABYRINTH. YOU MUST HURRY AND SAVE THE PRINCE FROM THE SACRIFICIAL BLADE OF THIS DEMENTED FIEND!
YOUR STORY IS QUITE GRIM, MY FRIEND. LAZARUS WILL SURELY BURN IN HELL FOR HIS HORRIFIC DEED. THE BOY THAT YOU DESCRIBE IS NOT OUR PRINCE, BUT I BELIEVE THAT ALBRECHT MAY YET BE IN DANGER. THE SYMBOL OF POWER THAT YOU SPEAK OF MUST BE A PORTAL IN THE VERY HEARTH OF THE LABYRINTH.
KNOW THIS, MY FRIEND - THE EVIL THAT YOU MOVE AGAINST IS THE DARK LORD OF TERROR. HE IS KNOWN TO MORTAL MEN AS DIABLO. IT WAS HE WHO WAS IMPRISONED WITHIN THE LABYRINTH MANY CENTURIES AGO AND I FEAR THAT HE SEEKS TO ONCE AGAIN SOW CHAOS IN THE REALMS OF MANKIND. YOU MUST VENTURE THROUGH THE PORTAL AND DESTROY DIABLO BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
PLEEEASE, NO HURT. NO KILL. KEEP ALIVE AND NEXT TIME GOOD BRING TO YOU.
SOMETHING FOR YOU I AM MAKING. AGAIN, NOT KILL GHARBAD. LIVE AND GIVE GOOD.
YOU TAKE THIS AS PROOF I KEEP WORD...
NOTHING YET! ALMOST DONE.
VERY POWERFUL, VERY STRONG. LIVE! LIVE!
NO PAIN AND PROMISE I KEEP!
THIS TOO GOOD FOR YOU. VERY POWERFUL!
YOU WANT - YOU TAKE!
