Dialogs:

NPC:/conclude They turned me into a monster. I've killed innocent men, women, children... anyone and everyone Chimera sent me after. I will never be able to wash the blood from my hands.

NPC:/dialogue First, I need to tell you about the Aust Followers.

NPC:/excuse And until very recently, I was one of them.

NPC:/dialogue You see, Chimera agents aren't recruited. They're brainwashed. The Aust Followers kidnap them as children, feed them mind-altering drugs, and raise them on a constant diet of lies and propaganda.

NPC:/fact By the time they come of age, Chimera agents are highly-trained assassins, taught to despise everything about their former home. They are deadly, expendable, and completely loyal.

NPC:/contend I imagine it amuses the Aust Followers, sending their enemies' own children back to kill them. The thought of what I might have done... what I MUST have done... still sickens me.

NPC:/dialogue Luckily, the drugs they use to keep us loyal seem to have a weakness.

NPC:/talk During a mission here in the Hellswamp, I was ambushed by some of the local plant life. Their poisoned barbs caused excruciating pain, fever, and hallucinations... but also restored a small portion of my memory.

NPC:/dialogue It wasn't much. But it was enough to shake my faith in my Chimera masters. So I experimented with the toxin, attempting to coax more of my memories to the surface.

NPC:/quarrel And the more I remembered, the more I realized the true horror of what had been done to me.

NPC:/talk But with your help, I may still be able to atone for some of what I've done.

NPC:/fact So here's the deal. I know Nui's Shield wants the Souleye, and I know where it's going to be. But before I tell you anything, you're going to help me recover the rest of my memories.

NPC:/contend There is an Elven outpost in the middle of the Hellswamp known as Haven. In it, you'll find an alchemist named Demeter.

NPC:/talk She's been helping me experiment with the local plant life, to enhance the memory-restoring effects of the original toxin. She should have finished her latest attempt by now.

NPC:/dialogue With any luck, she'll have perfected the mixture and I'll finally regain the last of my stolen memories. I need you to get that potion for me.

NPC:/quarrel But be careful! The Hellswamp is rife with discord and violence. I have no doubt Chimera has a strong presence here.

NPC:/excuse I'll be hiding on the outskirts of Haven, just out of sight. At the first sign of trouble, I'm gone--along with any hopes you have of finding the Souleye.

NPC:/dialogue Find the alchemist, get that potion, and help me get my memories back. Then we can talk about finding your precious relic.

Stage summary:

Go to Alchemy Merchant Demeter in Haven and relay Eldris's request to keep her promise with him.

Dialogs:

NPC:/talk Eldris sent you?

NPC:/shh Keep it down! I think one of the guards here is a Chimera spy.

NPC:/suffer Eldris was half-dead from the poison when I found him in the Hellswamp, raving about Anthalon and the Aust Followers. At first I thought he was insane!

NPC:/sigh But the training he has, and the things he seems to know... Please, you have to help him. He's suffered so much.

NPC:/talk I know he's been making himself sick, experimenting with the plant toxin to restore his memories. I just hope this final mixture does the job before he accidentally kills himself.
