The Patience of Princes

Delve underground and fell the Primalist blockade.

• Travel through the tunnel

The centaur's report of Primalist forces pushing into the underground after Fyrakk changes the situation. Wrathion and I believe it would be a tactical mistake to dawdle here any longer, waiting for Ebyssian and his protige to arrive.

We still wish for you to join us. If you are ready, then we three should proceed together.

You will receive:

• Stone Breaker
• 15x Flightstones
• 27,700 XP
• +200 reputation with Valdrakken Accord

To say you smell lost is an understatement!

On accept:

• say
• say
• Sabellian and Wrathion shift back to their dragon forms and fly into Iridikron's Gambit.

Mount up and follow them down.

If players are quick enough, they can spot this gossip from Sabellian:

• Ebyssian dawdles while the Incarnates breathe destruction on our land. I tire of waiting for him to arrive.

Mount up and follow them down. Midway through Iridikron's Gambit, a cutscene plays:

• The black dragons in visage forms are hiding behind a rock overlooking the Primalists.

While in the scenario, players are buffed and debuffed with:

Kill Stonebreath Summoners, Earthborne Chargers, Stonebreath Landsliders, Lumbering Boulders and Restless Pebbles. Earthquake Totems can be destroyed as well to make moving forward easier.

Sabellian is flying around, keeping the stonebreath primalists occupied. Take them out and push forward:

• say
• say

Earth elementals attack. Sabellian strafes them with another breath attack, severely weakening them. Finish them off as well.

Further west, Cliffkeeper Bouldani summons a barricade and Wrathion joins in to help:

A cutscene starts as Lorac dies:

• Sabellian, Wrathion, and the champion walk away from the corpses of Lorac and the monstrous mud.
• say
• say
• As they walk offscreen, the camera keeps focusing in the direction of the corpses. The cave lights up with fire before the scene cuts away to show them stopping overlooking Deephollow Lake.
• say
• say
• say
• Noticing something, Wrathion pulls his sword.
• say
• They spot Fyrakk flying through the Throughway as he launches a fireball at them. The three land on the ground, unconscious, and Fyrakk keeps flying away, seemingly unaware of their existence. From behind the camera, two giant claws reach toward the champion and the scene cuts to black.

After a loading screen, the next cutscene starts immediately:

• Regaining consciousness, the champion blinks a few times and looks around, spotting dead niffen on the ground nearby. The champion realizes that they're encased in crystal. A sound from offscreen catches the champion's attention, and they turn to see a deepflayer consuming another niffen corpse.
• The champion hears another noise, this time from above, and they turn to spot another crystal, looking like it's about ready to fall. The deepflayer notices too, but the champion smacks their crystal cage to distract it. It leaps over to the champion and roars, then the crystal from above falls and knocks it out!
• say
• The champion looks down at the deepflayer, then looks up to spot Elder Honeypelt hanging from a stalactite.
• say
• Honeypelt lets go and drops to the ground, landing on the corpse of the deepflayer.
• say
• say
• say
• say

On the other side of the cutscene:

• say

• Objectives
• Speak with Sabellian
• Delve into Zaralek Caverns!
• Break through the Primalist blockade

I will not tolerate Ebyssian's dawdling any longer. These Incarnates grow stronger every second, as does my impatience.

• Description

Wrathion and I are in agreement. You may choose to waste your time in wait for our slow-winged sibling, but we would much rather you join us.

I have a feeling you are not the waiting type either.
