After having found the Stranger, Deckard began his polite interrogation. The Stranger responded that the last things he remembered was him falling and fire. This made me wonder where the fire came from, unless he fell at such a huge speed he himself would’ve been on fire. He remembered a sword as well. A sword of great power, this sword was part of him, but during the fall it shattered into three pieces. Deckard made the inference that we should find these pieces and make the sword whole again. That this sword might be the artifact we need to restore the memory of this Stranger. Leah interjected, telling us that the resident goatmen have been rampaging through the fields. She wondered if the sword has anything to do with that. Deckard seemed to have put the puzzle pieces together as he immediately tells Leah that she might be right. After seeing my puzzled look he explained to me that the dead rose around the Stranger, if the sword is truly a part of him it might explain the goatmen suddenly driving them to madness. For me it made sense and gave me an excuse to try out my new equipment. I told them I would hunt these goatmen. Locating the sword seemed to be just a bonus to ending their terror. Continue Reading

“Deckard Cain told me that the Skeleton King was once their beloved lord, Leoric and that he was driven mad by Diablo’s evil. He lost both of his sons, and his very soul, before he was finally defeated. Now it seems he has risen again. I told Deckard that I found it a sad tale but that I am seeking the fallen star and that the Skeleton King is standing in my way. Deckard explained that the key to defeating him lies in his old crow. He told me to seek out their blacksmith, Haedrig. That he would know the whereabouts. Deckard and Leah then began to discuss among themselves. Deckard seems to think that Leah is taking all of this too lightly and that the Horadric scrolls spoke of the dead rising and the Lord of Lies and that the Prophecy of the End Days says that at the end of all things the first sign shall appear in the heavens. Leah, in return, agrees that horrors indeed have walked in Tristram but that her uncle should not read so much into the scrolls. Continue Reading

“I told Leah to come along with me to go search for her uncle. She said that we’ll need to open the cathedral first, the guards locked it up before they were ambushed by these creatures. Rumford told Leah that they fought their way back to Adria’s hut. Leah expects the key will still be there. We used the old portal system to quickly travel back to The Old Ruins. Leah apparently had the key to open the gate towards Adria’s hut. Maybe I should watch out for traps. Leah told me that Adria was her mother, but that she didn’t know more than that. Adria died when Leah was very young, she was raised by her uncle, Deckard Cain. I wondered about her father, Leah told that he was a great warrior who was lost when Tristram fell to the demons.” Continue Reading
