## Events

### The moment of truth

*You reach the inner sanctum of the obelisk, but it is too late. Any ritual that has been performed here is already over.
After a quick glance around the room, you can see the body of the princess behind the altar. It seems she is still alive...
Then your eyes focus on the shadowy figure in front of the altar. It is Lord Hanshek. The brooch on his neck glows brightly and dark energy emanates from it. He looks at you and gives you a sinister smile.
The moment of truth has come.*

*(Hanshek) "Mmm... Ylmer? You mean that old tree in the Senenthia forest? That poor tree was already in a deep sleep and half dead when I passed by.Activating the Obelisks was a necessary means to reach the void and complete my objective. The corruption coming out of them that you saw in the forest will also gradually take over all the realms...Rest assured you won't be here to see it!"*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Magnus] "I served under you in the Wolf Wars to protect the kingdom. Why do you betray it now?"
*(Hanshek) "Tough luck, captain. This is beyond you...Although, I suppose I should thank you, since it was you, who helped me recover this gem in the Wolf Wars.After extensive research, I discovered that with the gem and the blood of an Architect, I could have a power greater than Queen Amelia herself. Who turned out to be a descendant of the architects.Unfortunately, the queen has always been out of my reach, but not the princess...*Now, at last, that power is mine!"Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Heiner] "Beep... I must protect friends, beep... I must rescue princess."
*(Hanshek) "Interesting... I never thought I'd see an active war golem again...The same power with which the queen created and fueled the golems is mine now. It seems that his power source has been altered and is no longer what it was... So it's of no use to me.I'll have to destroy it, along with the rest of you."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Andrin] "You always struck me as a despicable guy. Looks like I won a bet with my brother"
*(Hanshek) "Well, if it isn't the youngest of the Casthaks, always hiding in the woods and meddling in matters that are none of his business.How ironic. You almost foiled my plans in the past... You were lucky that your family's great influence and your brother convinced me... Otherwise, I would have dealt with you by now.Well boy, this isn't Senenthia... And it's time to test my new power!"*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Sylvie] "You! You're the one to blame for bringing that thing back, freezing all my people!"
*(Hanshek) "What are you talking about? I just activated the obelisk and went on my way.You elves, always condescending, arrogant and blaming others... You look like a young elf who just came out of the forest and knows nothing about the world.Listen young lady, this place and this magic I just obtained predates the elves and is much more powerful. It's a shame... But you won't be able to go back to your forest."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Thuls] "Sss... I usually only kill for work... Sss... But this time I'm going to enjoy it."
*(Hanshek) "What an inferior creature... You cannot comprehend the magnitude of what has happened here and the powers I have just gained.I would tell you to go back to your swamp... But this is a perfect opportunity to test my new powers."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Evelyn] "We grew up together. You were like a big brother... Why did you kidnap the princess?"
*(Hanshek) "Evelyn, you should know better than anyone... Queen Amelia's great magic power was not normal.I always wanted that power for myself and after long years of study and this gem, I discovered that the queen was a descendant of the architects and magic ran through her ancient blood.The queen was never within my reach, but a few days ago, on her anniversary, the princess awakened that same power. So I took the opportunity to bring her to this ancient place and with a ritual, take away her power."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Cornelius] "Seeking power at all costs will do you no good... But fear not, my flames will consume your darkness."
*(Hanshek) "Hypocritical words coming from the summoner of demons and founder of the Burning Hand...You may have had a lot of power in your prime that could've easily taken me down, but now your just a decrepit old man, and your flames are no longer a threat.Prepare to succumb to a power greater than youve ever had!"*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Reginald] "I thought we were friends, I respected you... What have you done with the princess?"
*"(Hanshek) "Reginald, I have always held you in high esteem. You were one of the few I could have a normal conversation with in Senenthia.But ever since I saw the queen's great powers, I wanted that power for myself. Now, thanks to this gem and the blood of the princess, that power is mine.The princess is only unconscious, but I'm afraid now I have to finish you off old friend..."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Ottis] "Oink... I can feel that gem you're wearing is bad news... You should get rid of it."
*(Hanshek) "You ignorant swine! This gem is the source of my new power, and neither you nor anyone else will separate me from it.I will show you that I am the only one who can bring out its full potential and I will finish you."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Grukli] "I can already imagine the feast of fish and beer, grr... You there, give us back the princess!"
*(Hanshek) "So, you're just a simpleton who comes looking for a reward?Well then, if you're looking for an early death that's what you'll get.Time to test my new powers!"*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**.
* [Gustav] "So you're the bad guy in my epic tale? This battle will be legendary. It's showtime!"
*(Hanshek) "And what are you supposed to be, a singing frog? What a joke.*
*I don't have time for this nonsense... But your companions seem to be a threat, so I'll have to finish you off with my new powers."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**.
* [Wilbur] "What an interesting place, can you explain what ritual you did to document it?"
*(Hanshek) "I never expected to meet a gnome here of all places... And that flying machine also caught my eye. Maybe I'll keep it when I'm done with you.As for the ritual, it's all thanks to this gem and the blood of the princess, a direct descendant of the architects... But someone who is about to die doesn't need to know anything else."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Malukah] "It's too late for you... You're cursed and being controlled by that gem."
*(Hanshek) "Speak for yourself... What can a swamp witch like you know about curses when she doesn't see the truth about herself?*
*This gem is the souce of a power you cannot comprehend, but rest assured I will now show you what it is capable of."*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Yogger] "When we met at that dig, I could tell you were up to no good..."
*(Hanshek) "Ohh! So the local bandit has come all the way to the end of world... and for what?Although I suppose I should thank you... It's thanks to you that I recovered this gem in the Wolf Wars. Besides, when the Chieftain fell you did me another fabor by rebelling and taking the rest werewolves with you. Thanks to that, no one noticed excavation, and I had some time study the gem without the Queen meddling.As a reward, I will give you a quick death!"*Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**
* [Nezglekt] "After seeing the destruction has power has caused to this place... You foolish human..."
*(Hanshek) "Don't try to get into my mind, squid! It is futile. I know what you are.*
*A race that travels through worlds and planes at ease, only to steal the relics from their inhabitants to sell elsewhere is no less foolish.*
*I will show you what we are capable of!"*

[Laia] "Basthet prepared me for this! She told me that one day I would triumph against the darkness!"
*(Hanshek) "Basthet. Who could that be? You mean the so-called goddess of Ulminin?*
And who do you think you are to confront me? A simple desert cat does not understand the greatness of what I have just achieved.
*Thanks to the power of this gem, not even the gods will be able to oppose me!"*
Begin **Lord Hanshek Boss Battle**

[Navalea] "Thanks to the curse, I am here today. To fight and stop you!"
*(Navalea) "Perhaps this was Basthet's intention all along... that I would be able to fight the Archons once again."*
*(Hanshek) "I don't know what you are talking about, but I see that you are one of them, an architect!*
*How is it possible that there are any of you still alive? Mmm... Wait a moment, it seems you are of no use to me. Your body and blood are not pure, they are corrupted... What a waste.*
*And you expect to stop me? Even if you are corrupted, I will dissect you to learn even more from your kind."*
