Hahahaha... Is that all you’re capable of?

Quite frankly, I’m rather disappointed.

I was hoping you would all put up a better fight than this.

Where is Ezra!

You have come for the girl, have you not?

I’m afraid you’re a little too late…

No…What have you done to her!?

The ritual is complete! I already have what I came for.

If it is the girl you want, you may have her. That is, if she’s willing to go with you.

Calm down Avani. Do not let the Inquisitor misguide you.

The Tower currently lacks the power necessary to maintain both Aranvis’ barrier and the Ritual of Awakening.

He has to choose which is more important. That barrier of his...or the ritual.

It seems he has chosen to maintain the barrier to prevent us from finding him…

...and moments ago Ezra broke free before the Ritual of Awakening could be completed.

Hahaha... Are you sure you’d like to waste precious time to find me?

Time is ticking away. If you won’t save the girl, who else will?

You might have interrupted the ritual…

...but the girl will succumb to the power that she has no control over!

What will you do, Allanon? I certainly can’t wait to witness the moment when despair finally consumes you…

That coward! Hiding behind his illusions and barriers!

Is there no way to stop this madman?

We might have a chance of saving Ezra before she loses herself to her own power.

I propose that we stop High Inquisitor Aranvis himself.

The ritual has been interrupted, but not halted.

Knowing him, Aranvis will see his plans through and ensure that the Power of the Ancients awakens from within Ezra.

If we can end the ritual, I should be able to seal the power running wild within that child.

But this strategy depends on the success of the other three!

Azurai favors fighting from atop his Magma Dragon instead of dirtying his own hands.

It feeds off the surrounding lava for power…the same lava that powers the tower.

And in case you haven’t noticed, they’re already engaging the Overlord himself!

*Whimpers*

I have faith in both Korzan and Haile.

It will be a difficult fight, but I know that they will succeed!

Right, Hans?

The chief has spoken!

Down with Aranvis it is!

In the meantime, let me see if I can't undo this barrier myself...
