Ledgermayne Appears

The hero advances towards the portal only for Ledgermayne to appear.

  • Hero: Whoa!
  • Ledgermayne: You may not enter our realm.
  • Hero: Who... WHAT are you?
  • Ledgermayne: This form is known as Chaos Lord Ledgermayne.
  • Hero: CHAOS LORD?! So you must be behind all the problems with magic. I hope you like buckets... ...'Cause I'm about to mop the floor with you!

The hero attacks Ledgermayne only to find that it is invulnerable to his/her attack.

  • Hero: Oh... you're just a harmless illusion.

Ledgermayne psychically lifts the hero into the air with one wave of its arm.

  • Ledgermayne: Incorrect.

Ledgermayne hurls the hero against the wall of the observatory.

  • Ledgermayne: This form is irritated by your attempt to attack it. Understand: this form is magic personified. Weapons will have no effect. Further attempts to do harm to this form will be met with severe punishment. This entrance to the para-elemental plane of magic will be closed. You will make no further attempts to enter our realm.

Ledgermayne disappears behind the portal and closes it from behind.

Ledgermayne's Plot

  • Ledgermayne: The portal has been repaired. The hero was able to reconnect the power source, designated: The Cloister
  • Drakath: Well done, Ledgermayne.
  • Ledgermayne: Thank you, Master.
  • Drakath: This distraction was more than enough time for us to prepare the Golem. When the hero enters your plane of existence, there will be a nasty surprise waiting.
  • Ledgermayne: This one does not want the hero to enter the realm.

Drakath's eyes narrow.

  • Drakath: What you want or do not want is of no concern to me, Chaos Lord. When that hero tries to enter the para-elemental plane of magic where you are strongest, you will allow it.
  • Ledgermayne: ...
  • Drakath: Ledgermayne, before my chaos magic rather unexpectedly gave you life, you were just a mass of mana floating in the ether. Would you like to be returned to that state?
  • Ledgermayne: This form prefers its current incarnation, Master.
  • Drakath: Then you will do as your creator commands.
  • Ledgermayne: This form complies with the Master's wishes.

Drakath smiles evilly.

Uncontrollable Chaos

  • Drakath: The Rod of Defiance is a weak weapon at best. It is no threat to my plans.
  • Drakath: Even with Rayst's help, the hero will never be able to assemble all of the pieces.
  • Ledgermayne: The hero has proven to be resourceful. The master is overconfident. It will be your downfall.

Drakath's eyes narrow.

  • Drakath: What did you just say to me, Ledgermayne?
  • Ledgermayne: The plan will fail. This form will take matters into it's own hands. This form no longer has any use for the master.
  • Drakath: I never should have allowed you to have free will.

Drakath stands up as a purple orb appears in his hand.

Ledgermayne causes the orb to shatter.

Drakath looks at his hand.

  • Drakath: WHAT?!
  • Ledgermayne: You will not be allowed to harm this form. This form was a mass of mana in the para-elemental plane of magic when your chaotic influence accidentally caused this form to be self-aware. This form is grateful for that gift, but this form is NOT one of the Master's Chaos Lord puppets whom you have gifted with Chaos Magic. This form is LIVING MAGIC. Even your powerful CHAOS magic... is still just magic, which this form can control. This form has no desire to destroy you. Stay out of our way.

Ledgermayne Leaves via teleportation.

Escaping Nessie

Having defeated Nessie, the hero acquires the Runes of Riparian.

  • Hero: I've got two parts of the Supreme Arcane Staff now. Two down, two to go.

The hero beings swimming to the surface of the Arcangrove Loch. Nessie starts chasing him/her and attempts to consume him/her when Drakath pulls it away by its tail. Nessie attempts to eat Drakath as he charges up a Chaos attack and his eyes turn purple. Meanwhile, the hero makes it to the surface of the Arcangrove Loch unharmed.

  • Hero: That went smooooooth.

The hero swims to the shore of the Arcangrove Loch just in time for a Chaos explosion to be made. Drakath flies out of the surface of the Arcangrove Loch, signifying that he either finished off or Chaorrupted Nessie.

Magic in Peril

The hero has defeated the Mana Elemental and collects the Wrap of Gilead.

  • Ledgermayne: We warned the master that you were resourceful.
  • Hero: I... I'm not scared of you Ledgermayne! You can go back and tell Drakath...

Ledgermayne appears.

  • Ledgermayne: We no longer take direction from the master.
  • Hero: Then, why call him "the master".
  • Ledgermayne: It is a meaningless designation. He wanted us to call him the master when he first encountered us, so we do. This form sees no reason to cease calling him this.
  • Hero: If you no longer serve Drakath, then you were able to break free of his control without him destroying you.
  • Ledgermayne: One cannot destroy magic. One can only reshape it.
  • Hero: Then help me! Side with me and use your power to stop Drakath!
  • Ledgermayne: Now that we have a will of our own, this form no longer wishes to be controlled by the master nor any other sentient. Magic is no longer yours to use as you see fit. Soon we will seal off the para-elemental plane of magic from Lore forever. You creatures will be free to fight amongst yourselves.
  • Hero: But... I thought magic was Lore's life force. If you seal off magic from Lore, won't everything die off?
  • Ledgermayne: Correct.
  • Hero: I can't let you do that, Ledgermayne.
  • Ledgermayne: You will not be allowed to complete the Supreme Arcane Staff.

Ledgermayne disappears. The hero falls on his/her bottom.

  • Hero: What does that mean?

Staff Complete

  • Hero: There it is ... ...the last part of the Supreme Arcane Staff.

The hero holds up the already united three parts of the Supreme Arcane Staff. The Chaos Focus Gem wills itself closer to the hero. Just then, Ledgermayne appears and snatches the gem before the staff can accept it.

  • Hero: No!
  • Ledgermayne: You were informed that you would not be allowed to complete the Supreme Arcane Staff.

Ledgermayne crushes the Chaos Focus Gem. Shards from the Chaos Focus Gem fall to the ground.

  • Ledgermayne: The staff can no longer harm this form. Go back to the tower and await your world's demise, hero. There is nothing on Lore that can stop us now.

Ledgermayne disappears. The hero kneels down and wills the Supreme Arcane Staff to accept the shards of the Chaos Focus Gem.

  • Hero: I'm not just going to lay down and die, Ledgermayne. This will have to be enough to stop you.

Mana Golem Appears

  • Ledgermayne: Mana Golem, serve us.

The Mana Golem assumes full form and stands up.

  • Ledgermayne: The master may have wanted you for his purposes but you are now neccessary for this form's plans. The material creatures have used magic long enough. You will continue to absorb magic from the material world until all of the mana has returned home to this plane. Feed, Mana Golem, and grow strong. Return the magic here to its birthplace.
  • Hero: All the magic must flow from this place... but I guess the flow goes both ways.
  • Rayst: If we don't do something, that Mana Golem will drink up all the magic in the world, and Lore will die.
  • Hero: What if we closed the portal from this side? We'd be trapped here... but would it save the world?
  • Rayst: No. Closing the portal would slow the drain but magic flows from many micro-portals all over our plane.
  • Hero: Same result. Lore dies. I guess I have to defeat that thing!

The hero rushes off to fight the Mana Golem.

Golem Defeated

The Mana Golem falls down and explodes upon having been defeated. Ledgermayne appears.

  • Ledgermayne: You were foolish to interfere with our plans, hero.
  • Hero: I told you... I can't let you kill my world.
  • Ledgermayne: The Chaos Focus Gem was destroyed. The Supreme Arcane Staff cannot be completed. Return to your home and trouble us no more. If you attempt to battle this form with the incomplete staff, it will have no effect.
  • Hero: You left a few shards of the Chaos Focus Gem behind, Ledgermayne.

The hero holds out the (kind of) completed Supreme Arcane Staff.

  • Ledgermayne: Fascinating. It becomes clear that you cannot be dissuaded from this self-destructive course. You must be dealt with.
  • Hero: Bring it on, Bulb-head!

Next: Chaos Lord Ledgermayne

To be concluded...

Ledgermayne Defeated

  • Hero: Things are a little different on this plane. I can fight you.
  • Ledgermayne: You can fight us, yes... but you cannot defeat us. At least, not without the completed Supreme Arcane Staff.

The hero holds out the Supreme Arcane Staff.

  • Hero: You should have made sure there were no shards left from the Chaos Focus Gem, Ledgermayne! Prepare to meet your maker!

The Supreme Arcane Staff begins to glow, only for the glow to fade shortly after.

  • Ledgermayne: We have no maker. We are pure magic, and magic is eternal. This form has wasted enough time on you, lesser being. Goodbye.

Ledgermayne prepares for a magic attack when Drakath appears.

  • Hero: Drakath?!
  • Drakath: Stand still, hero.

Drakath gives power to the Supreme Arcane Staff, allowing it to blast Ledgermayne.

  • Ledgermayne: NOOOOoooooo!

Ledgermayne disappears.

  • Hero: Oooooooookay. What just happened here?
  • Drakath: I focused my own Chaos energy through the staff, replacing the shattered gem. Ledgermayne was converted back into the raw mana from which he was made.
  • Hero: You really couldn't stand that there was someone stronger than you, could you?
  • Drakath: If Ledgermayne were truly stronger than me would I still be standing here? Ledgermayne simply needed to learn a lesson: Nobody disobeys me. Thanks, hero.
  • Hero: Thanks? I don't... Oh. If you had tried to put the staff together, Ledgermayne would have seen through you and stopped you early on. It only let me get as far as I did because it saw me as no real threat. That's a little depressing, actually.

The hero attacks Drakath but Drakath blocks the hero's attack.

  • Hero: Heh... Thought I had the element of surprise here.
  • Drakath: We're done for now, but you still have roles to play in my plans.
  • Hero: I'll never help you, Drakath!

Drakath smiles.

  • Drakath: You already have. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Drakath leaves.

  • Rayst: I don't believe it. Drakath helped you defeat Ledgermayne!
  • Hero: Don't remind me.
  • Rayst: The para-elemental plane of magic will stay connected to Lore. I can already feel the flow of magical energies beginning to equalize. Arcangrove... all magic, really... is safe once again. There is no way to thank you for that.
  • Hero: There is one way. I don't know what Drakath's plans are but I know they're not good. I might one day call on you and the other Magi of Arcangrove to help me stop those plans.
  • Rayst: Hero, just say the word and we will be by your side.
  • Hero: Good. A storm is brewing. I have a feeling I'm going to need all the help I can get.
