«Hero and Syrrus with Karok in midbattle»
Karok: Do you think I did not sense you, <Hero>?
Karok: I have watched "heroes" like you rise and fall for countless centuries.
Karok: You are predictable. Unimaginitive. And obvious.
Hero: Am I also… distracting?

Hero: We know three things. One: Karok's body should be here.
Hero: Two: It ISN'T here. And three.
Hero: You and I didn't kill all these FrostSpawn.
Hero: So if Karok is alive… we've got a blood mage on our hands.
Hero: AND we've got to find him before he can gather the rest of his Horde.
Syruss: Reports from our scouts came in overnight.. They say a maelstrom has formed in the center of our ring of broken islands.
Hero: That sounds bad, but not out of line with all that's happened recently.
Hero: We're seeing catastrophic changes across the world.
Syruss: There's a huge chunk of what used to be the Astarian Plains floating above the maelstrom.
Syruss: And now a huge storm is building over the tower SOMEONE has gone and built on it.
Hero: You're right. That IS worse. But after everything that's happening…
Syruss: And, more curious… swarms of spiders have been seen crawling towards it.
Syruss: Do you think -
Hero: It looks like the FrostSpawn are here to stay, and the Queen of Monsters will be here soon…
Hero: If she isn't already.
Hero: We need to regroup, gather warriors and resources.

Queen of Monsters: Did you enjoy my gift? Once I saw what you could do…
Queen of Monsters: I knew that we would work well together.
Queen of Monsters: He was not strong. I saw his easy defeat. But that was intentional.
Karok: You sent me a flawed gift?
Queen of Monsters: Yes. Precisely. And now <Hero> has seen how easily your creatures fall.
Queen of Monsters: That is an excellent thing, because -
Karok: Aaah, yes. It will give him hope. Reassure his peons that victory is within reach.
Queen of Monsters: Hope is so… fragile. So easily abused.
Karok: As are those who cling to it.

Queen of Monsters: Then see to your horde, but quickly. There is much to discuss.
