No, not another word. This isn't your fault. The cultists and their bastard god are to blame. Nobody else.

I'll not gamble our lives, our futures, on people who are as good as dead. We must leave for Baldur's Gate - at once.

Remember what happened last time?

Zurgan.

I can spare but a moment - Baldur's Gate awaits! Oh, I can almost smell the city.

All that fuss and for what? I'd barely call that a fight.

I have been offered an apprenticeship by none other than Lorroakan. Yes - that Lorroakan. The greatest wizard in Baldur's Gate. This will change everything.

Lia, Cal, if you see this... I'm dead. It's nothing to get upset about - it's simply the way life is. Head to Baldur's Gate immediately. You'll both do excellently there, I have no doubt. And thank you for, well, you know.

Well, you're here, aren't you? You can help them if you want. I don't believe in sacrifices for a lost cause. We're leaving for Baldur's Gate. And we will make it.

Lorroakan was a cruel and vicious man. By day, I'd tend the shop, but at night - he'd fire the most nonsensical questions at me. And for every one I answered 'wrong', he'd beat me. I could've killed him with my own two hands, but I kept thinking it was all a test. It had to be.

Lia and Cal were so excited for tonight, I thought it cruel to leave.

Bah. I couldn't abandon her. No matter how prestigious the apprenticeship. I'm to study under Lorroakan, you see.

You leave me no choice. Lorroakan is my master - I owe him my fealty.

You did what you could. I'm the one that should have done more.

You let my family die - and then you kill my master? Have you made it your personal mission to ruin my life? No more - I'll drag you through all Nine Hells myself!

There's nothing more satisfying than a well-organised wardrobe.

If we stop and help every wounded foal, we'll end up dead, or worse. Lia just can't see it.

Lorroakan was a vicious bastard - he beat me for the smallest of transgressions. He was never going to show me the secrets of Ramazith's Tower. Instead, he'd merely string me along - like a faithful cub.

They'll sing songs about this, you know. They simply don't know any better.

Our best chance to make it to Baldur's Gate is on our own. This place is lost.
