BattleThe monster gives you a long stare and then says in a booming voice that carries an undertone of respect, "Strong opponents await you. A worthy challenge."
Battle"The master wishes for you to send Keykeross on a swift journey to She Who Thirsts. Do not expect a fair fight. This is your execution. However, Keykeross is incapable of adequately assessing whatever she fails to comprehend, and therefore you stand a chance... albeit a negligible one."

Battle"The help that was promised will be provided. The Anguish Prospector will bring the Wyches the ecstasy of death throes."
end of branch
Battle"Should you survive, do not return here: the Wyches will seek revenge, which is why the master has already left the Chasm and found new patrons. He suggests you do the same. So says the master." The monotony and accuracy with which the monster repeats Tervantias' words reminds you of the way servitors communicate.
YOU"Will you go to your master now?"
Battle"The master doesn't need me anymore. I'll go kill someone. Get their pieces. And make myself stronger."

YOU"It feels odd to say this, but... good luck to you."
Battle"Huh?" The abomination stares at you for a while, then nods. "Yes."
end of branch
YOU"I hope your death will be sufficiently agonising."
BattleThe abomination shrugs indifferently. "Perhaps. That's life in the spires."
end of branch
YOU[Attack] "I cannot resist the pleasure of killing you!"
BattleThe monstrosity jerks, bracing itself for your attack, but then something bursts inside its body and its limbs go slack.
Battle"The master has sent me to tell you that he... equipped his servant with emergency measures... so that no harm might come to you." Even as it dies, the monster is unable to stop parroting the words of its treacherous master.

BattleAchilleas's voice quiets, becoming soft and insinuating, almost like it was in his former life. "I wish you luck, Your Lordship/Ladyship. I do not believe you will prevail, but you might be able to make a more honourable exit than I did."
YOU"Will you go to Tervantias now?"
Battle"No. His interest in me had run dry, so he let me go. Now... I do not know. Perhaps I'll try to live. Or maybe I'll try to die. I am still debating."
YOU"Will you go to Tervantias now?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Come along. I will get you out of here."
BattleAchilleas lets out a growl that must count for laughter now, then falls silent for a while. At last, he says in a quiet rumble, "A return to the Imperium does not bode well for me. Traitor, monster, spawn of corruption — a bonfire is all I will find there. But perhaps it is the right way."
Battle"He had almost convinced me that I was a monster. A monster would not follow you back. If I go, I will prove him wrong. Your Lordship/Ladyship, I accept your offer to enter your service once more... as short as that service may be. Please allow me to enter the fray first."
end of branch
Battle"Whatever for? What awaits me in the Imperium? I am a cursed soul and I should stay among souls as cursed as I am. Regardless, I am grateful for your mercy, Your Lordship/Ladyship."

YOU"I would end you here and now were it not for the hope that Commorragh would be more cruel to you than anything I could punish you with."
Battle"I believe your hopes are well founded, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Farewell."
end of branch
YOU[Attack] "Achilleas Scalander, I grant you the Emperor's final pardon."
Battle"I cannot fault you. So be it." Achilleas makes no attempt to dodge your attack, as if eager to end his twisted, wretched existence that has gone on for too long.

Cassia"Surely we are not going to leave Master Scalander to suffer in this doomed body, are we? Death must come as atonement for his crimes. And a mercy that will wash away these... horrible, painful, and poisonous hues from his disfigured soul."

Entry point 3 of 3
BattleAn unfamiliar monster, even more terrifying than the previous one of the Haemonculus's servants, bars your way. Its voice is as dry as death itself. "Master Tervantias sent me."
