So who do you have besides Varga and Gravelyn's forces? Dead weight by the looks of it. Malgor did a number on Warlic, and Brentan's enjoying the fun mood swing stage of the Mana Affliction. They both want to talk to you so hurry up, we need to get moving. Hmm, I am curious about what Brentan is telling that glowing crevice on the wall. You think hallucinations are another symptom or is he actually hearing something?
Boohoo over their angst and what not. But you're telling me that you can hear words coming from the crevices? Oooh I see, it's calling out to you specifically. Ha, that's even worse! Are the cuts all over my body going to start whispering your name too? That's a nightmare and a half, so let's get inside and squash Malgor, yeah? If the whispering doesn't stop, well, that's going to be a problem for tomorrow.

Mind the mana seeping out of the walls on your way in. Malgor seared ShadowFlame into the stone of the Keep, which means even the building is suffering mana overbloat. The locust infestation was already bad enough. After they got a taste for slurping up mana, the critters started to eat imps and worked their way up to devouring mages for more juice. Swat them so we can make our way through unbothered.
The locusts were here when you first came by for a visit. Haha, they were pests, not minions. Those bugs weren't supposed to be here but got corrupted by ShadowFlame anyway. I should have taken it as a sign that Malgor didn't know what he was doing. Do you know what it feels like to see those things eat bits of your severed arm, I - alright alright, I'm shutting up.

I was outside for a day or two and the mess got even worse. You see those puddles on the floor? Don't touch them. I'll show you what happens if you do. Just grab a few of the imps but don't rough them up too hard. They tend to spray when they pop from Mana Affliction. Could be because they have smaller bodies than the mages.
The puddles are from the Timestream leaking out of the portal. When you toss an imp in one, they get wrinkly and small, then they rot until they're dust. All in the space of a few seconds. Or the reverse happens and they regress into babies before shrinking and disappearing. What a crazy way to go. Makes you think, huh? Most people know where they go when they die, but where did they come from before they were born?

Now that I think about it, what would happen if you touched the timestream puddles? I'll be honest with you, I didn't think about how you were going to close the portal once we got there. That's going above and beyond on my end. The portal room must be flooded by now. It's in your own best interest to see if interacting with that timey wimey sludge is going to put you in diapers.
You look fine. Paler than spoiled milk but fine. Go ahead and lay it on me. What's the bad news? You hear whispering from the puddles too? Uhhh, you wanna tell that to Varga and Gravelyn because I have no idea what that means. Varga knows you're the Dragon of Time but what about Gravelyn? On that note, how are you going to pay me to keep that a secret from her and all your other buddies? Hey, what's with the shrug?

I'm going to have to put blackmailing you on hold. Of course the mages need to go and scream at every little thing that comes by on top of exploding. Malgor is busy fighting Drakath but he'll drop everything if he finds out you're here. Either he'll burst in to wring your neck or he's going to jump into the portal. You'll need to silence those mages. You've collected heads before. Does it matter if they come from human-shaped monsters?
Wait. I need to catch my breath…I'm not feeling so hot, boss.

If I show any more weakness, I bet you're going to cut me down on the spot. It's almost like I still have Malgor breathing down my back. I know I don't have much time but I really want to see Malgor get what's coming. So hurry up. The area ahead is flooded by the leakage from the Timestream. Only you can wade through and check what's up ahead. Tell me how the barrier's looking and if the Warfury's already there.
No sign of Varga and the barrier blocking off the portal is in tatters, but mostly working. Only Malgor's servants can pass but there's a chance that the Mana Core issue is causing it to flicker. Don't you think about getting rid of me! Varga must have seen it flicker and jumped through but who knows when it's going to fall again. You still need me!

The slime-looking blobs slithering around are what I call the Mumblers. When the portal to the Timestream began to leak, some of the puddles gathered together to form into Mumblers. Not sure what they're saying but Malgor was too busy having a fit to listen. He went crazy trying to destroy them. Like with everything he does, Malgor wasn't successful. Mop them up so Gravelyn and I won't trip on them and fall in the puddles.
Could you lighten up? I get that this is the dark and ominous Shadowlord's Keep but the Mumblers stop moving when you stomp them once. You don't need to tap dance on their corpses, which is putting it nicely. In the dark, your outburst made me think I was seeing Malgor for a moment. Even the Empress is giving you funny looks. Hey! Put those fists down, I'll back off.

I can tell when the others are on the brink of exploding. They've gone quiet, just like the mage that blew my arm off. I'd like to hold on to the rest of my limbs for as long as possible. It'll take time to fully tear the barrier down and an explosion or five would be pretty distracting. They won't blow up if you slay them first. You'd be doing them all a favor.
That snapping noise just now. It was one of my ribs breaking from too much mana. Normally I would be screaming in pain but I already blew my throat out days ago. You can't get lower than rock bottom. At least I haven't found a way to fall through rock bottom. Yet. Guess I should get cracking on that barrier. Not much time left now…If I start going quiet without anyone telling me to shut up, you know what to do.

Mumblers and Locusts. They're swarming because of the dead imps and mages. I need to concentrate on the *cough* barrier. Keep them at bay. And don't go -urk- berserk over those dumb slimes.
All I want is Malgor dead. Did I have dreams before this? Doesn't matter. Haha, that's really sad. Weird, I don't think I'm exploding. I think…I'm melting…
