The PLAYER is led by THE VOICE through the ROT BOG until they reach a cave.\n\nTHE VOICE spirals in the air.\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"The one you must seek dwells in there. He has been waiting for a long time, alone. He will be desperate."\n\nROWB:\n(Skeptical)\n"And uh- why must I seek him?"\n\nTHE VOICE ignores his question.\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"I will wait here. Come back to me after you are done."\n\nTHE VOICE spirals violently as it sucks into itself and disappears.\n\n[[PLAYER enters cave|PrideMaskCave]]\n

ROWB:\n"What is this place exactly? What is "Golemsgrave"?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"It is named for the Golems that fell here during the war. Do you not see their hands jutting from the ground like horrible gravestones? Three thousands cycles and they still flow with power, and no doubt malice... I would be wary Rowb..."\n\n[[Continue|GolemsgraveExplore]]
ROWB:\n"Killing you would be the safest thing to do but it's not what I'm going to do."\n\nGNAXSIS:\n"I will not rest until I hear her again..."\n\nGNAXSIS growls then after glaring at ROWB for a moment limps into the darkness.\n\nTHE VOICE:\n(somewhat sad)\n"An interesting decision. I wonder what will become of him."\n\nROWB:\n"You speak almost as if you care, you just gave me the opportunity to kill him!"\n\nTHE VOICE turns to look at ROWB and is silent for awhile.\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"It was never my decision to make."\n\n[[Continue|DemoEnd]]\n\n
ROWB:\n"Well, what would you have us do?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"Get away from here and let her rot wherever she dwells."\n\nROWB:\n"That settles things then, I'm going to help her."\n\nPRIDE:\n"Then why did you ask my opinion?!"\n\nROWB:\n"I think we are going to be on opposing sides of many arguments, I figured by asking you I would discern //my// position."\n\nPRIDE:\n"Fine! Do as you will. Following her will end you, at least then I can bond with an intelligent individual!"\n\nPRIDE disappears.\n\n[[Continue|GolemsgraveExplore]]\n

THE VOICE melts and slithers around ROWB's feet forming a small pool. He begins to sink.\n\nROWB:\n"What? Stop!"\n\nROWB falls through the ground and falls in an infinite cloudy space past the title "Children of Uum"\n\nFade to Black.
ROWB:\n"I suppose I should have seen that coming..."\n\nPRIDE appears next to ROWB.\n\nPRIDE:\n"See where trust gets you? The creature may have been pathetic but it was a mistake not killing it on sight."\n\nGNAXSIS stirs in the darkness.\n\nGNAXSIS:\n"Good, that thing has finally brought me another morsel..."\n\nPRIDE:\n"That voice... could it be?"\n\nGNAXSIS charges out of the dark.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Ah, so it you. Gnaxsis!"\n\nGNAXSIS hits ROWB backwards. BOSS BATTLE begins.\n\n[[PLAYER fights GNAXSIS|GnaxsisBattle2]]
WHISPER STONE 6: Kapyl Zealot Soldier\n"Everlit filth! Abominations in the eyes of Uum, blasphemers, murder kin. Gnaxsis will rid the world of their ilk! They claim they are innocent of their crimes but their guilt is all too clear. They are the ones who hollow us to sustain their heretical rituals! They are dark and so are their motives. May the fury of Uum rain upon them!"\n\nWHISPER STONE 7: SONA\n"I now know that I am not alone. We were wrong. Snasrod is far from uninhabited. Everywhere I turn, I feel them watching me. Try as I might, I cannot locate them myself. I've wandered for days searching for clues as to how I can reach them. I just want to know what they are, and what they are protecting. I feel as though they don't want me here, but I will find the answers I Desire."\n\nWHISPER STONE 8: SONA\n"It pains me to want this so much. My very being aches knowing that I can't have what I want. My father told me to be devote to doctrine; that Uum would satisfy my fervor. I couldn't wait, Desire consumes me."\n\nWHISPER STONE 9: SONA\n"I am no longer Sona of the Desirekin. I did it. I found them. It wasn't that they didn't want me here. They are protecting something greater than just the forest. I have assimilated myself with the Tribe, the ones that were watching. As for Desire, I have removed it from me. I am finally satisfied with what I have, and I will want no more."\n\nWHISPER STONE 10: Golem\n"Crush them. Crush them. Nothing but bleeding mud inside... I hate them... Crush them. Crush them."\n\n[[Back|GolemsgraveExplore]]
ROWB follows spirit PRIDE's mask to physical mask which attachs to ROWB's face launching him into PRIDE's REALM\n\nSingle ray of light on PRIDE's mask\n\nROWB convinced MENTHE to commit a crime with him and they were booted from KAPYL for it.\n
ROWB extends his hand and ENERGY shoots off its surface into him. A voice speaks inside his head.\n\nWHISPER STONE 000: GNAXSIS\n(Frantic and Crazy)\n"They want it! They want her! I know, I know... I know. The others don't believe... said I've gone too far-but no! Not nearly far enough! Let my rage wash over them like a colosal wave; I will extinguishing the Everlit for eternity.

After the PLAYER defeats GNAXSIS he begins to cough and sputter walking around like a dog choosing where to vomit.\n\nGNAXSIS:\n"No!... no... no... do not leave me... have I not kept you safe? Have I not given you what you need?!"\n\nPRIDE:\n"Ha! The monster meets its end to the hands of a whelp"\n\nGNAXSIS begins to cough harder and starts vomitting up piles of thick ooze. He turns and looks at ROWB.\n\nGNAXSIS:\n"Him? Why?!"\n\nGNAXSIS vomits harder, eventually the UUM STONE rockets out from his throat and hits the ground with an impact that makes the ground tremble. \n\nGNAXSIS falls onto his back and, after a breif struggle to get up, goes still.\n\nThe UUM STONE sits where it fell ominously, its pristine surface untainted by the muck. The ooze beads off of it like water on a duck's back. Slowly its spiral turns towards ROWB like a giant eye staring at him.\n\n[[Continue|VoiceGrabsRowb]]\n\n

PLAYER enters an area of the temple filled with bones and refuse. FING's muttering can be heard from across the room as he tears stones from the skulls and puts them up to his ear.

SNASROD: GOLEMSGRAVE\n\nHistory:\nThis part of the forest was once host to a grand battle between the GNAXSIS forces and the Everlit. Since this battle was fought in front of the GNAXSIS TEMPLE there are still ruins but less so than the ROT BOG. The enormous HANDS of the old GRAND GOLEMs can be seen in various places overgrown with moss and fungus. The GRAND GOLEMs were used during the war by the Everlit, most have ceased functioning but some of the broken pieces persist in the form of the GOLEMs the player fights in this area. \n\nThere are also statues of PRIDE which will serve as his side quest in the demo.

SNASROD: ROT BOG\n\nHistory:\nThe ROT BOG is an area of SNASROD where the fungal forest has been halted by the cliffs. Due to an ancient attempt by the people of KAPYL to clear the forest much of the plant life is dead and rotting but the forest stubbornly endured making the attempt ultimately futile. The result is a bog of rotting plant life with overgrown ruins from OLD KAPYL scattered throughout.\n\nMajor Events:\n1. Whisper Stone Introduction\n2. Find Pride's Mask\n\nNeeded Models:\n1. Whisper Stone\n2. Decrepit Pride Mask\n\nParticles Needed:\n1. Whisper Stone Energy Retrieval Particle\n2. The Voice Ribbon Particle\n3.

ROWB:\n"Tell me what manner of creature you are! And be warned! I am a Wielder and I will not be trifled with!"\n\nPRIDE cackles.\n\nPRIDE:\n"A worm who thinks itself strong but bites with no teeth."\n\nPRIDE's mask appears in front of the PLAYER's face staring at them amused.\n\nPRIDE:\n"You pose little threat to me //Wielder//!"\n\nPRIDE's mask disappears and PRIDE's cloaked form materializes from the fog ahead.\n\nPRIDE:\n"It is you who faces the true peril. It would take but a thought to end you right here! Remember that next time you threaten me."\n\n[[What are you?!|RemnantExplanation]]\n
ROWB:\n"What should I do Pride? Should I kill Gnaxsis?"\n\nPRIDE looks to THE VOICE before speaking.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Kill him. It would not only be merciful it would be prudent... He will never stop seeking the Uum Stone, he will shadow you for as long as you live. I command you to kill hi-"\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"You will command nothing. It is his choice alone."\n\n[[Kill Gnaxsis|VoiceKillGnaxsis]]\n\n[[Spare Gnaxsis|VoiceSpareGnaxsis]]
ROWB:\n"The Remnants were created when the Uum stone shattered three thousand cycles ago right? At least that is what I was told..."\n\nPRIDE:\n"As I said before, we were not made, we were liberated when the Uum Stone converged. To say shattered implies something was broken, which is false. I am infinitely more without the others. I am not burdened by the woes of Guilt, distracted by the conquests of Desire, I am Pride and my work is eternal!"\n\n[[Your work?|WorkOfPride]]\n\n[[Where are the others?|OtherRemnants]]\n\n[[Why am I here?|PrideHereConvo]]
ROWB:\n"You must have a name of some sort or another?"\n\nFING puts his fingers from his shriveled arm into his mouth and lets his hand dangle from his bottom lip as speaks.\n\nFING:\n"Father calls me Fing..."\n\n[[Are you insane?|FingInsane]]\n\n[[What were you doing?|FingWhatDoing]]\n
ROWB:\n"Prison? Have you offended Uum? Is this your punishment?"\n\nPRIDE's mask appears in front of PLAYER's FACE.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Peasant! You look at the sky and see only Uum, blind to what lies beyond!"\n\nPRIDE's mask disappears and PRIDE's cloaked form materializes from the fog ahead.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Keep your savage faith's ponderings to yourself! I will not hear the bleats of the ignorant. This is my prison in that this is where I exist, bereft of a vassal. I do not know how long I've been lost to the world but it has no doubt suffered from my absence."\n\nPRIDE looks at ROWB and smirks.\n\nPRIDE:\n"But now that you are here my glorious return can begin... Pride will return!"\n\n[[What are you?|RemnantExplanation]]
PRIDE:\n"Hmmm, perhaps you do have some skill... Not much... but some."\n\n(Dissapoints_Pride: False, Impresses_Pride: True)\n\n[[Continue|PrideConvoEnd]]
Suddenly the spiral in the UUM STONE comes apart and after coiling up, falls back down to the ground melting into a fluid that swims in ROWB's direction along the ground.\n\nIt splashes against ROWB's feet then swiftly starts coiling around him constricting his legs. ROWB tries to grab his sword from his chest but the substance swivels around his arms holding them tight.\n\nA frong of the substance curls up around the back of ROWB's head then dangles in front of him.\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"Do not be afraid... I had hoped you would succeed..."\n\n[[So you are the Voice!|VoiceRowbCall]]\n\n[[Let me go!|VoiceLetMeGo]]
PRIDE stands looking at ROWB.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Deciever! Liar! You feign stupidity while disguising your true objective; to deliver me to //her//... "\n\nPRIDE nods toward THE VOICE spiralling above with a grim expression.\n\nROWB:\n"I did not!"\n\nPRIDE:\n(Mocking)\n"You're right, such a high degree of idiocy could not be falsified. It would have to be so, to obey her whims so blindly..."\n\nTHE VOICE:\n"It is good to see you again Pride..."\n\nPRIDE:\n(Hmph) "I can't say the same!"\n\n[[Continue|PrideCall]]

ROWB:\n"Your work? What do you mean?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"You Refractors think that your achievements are your own?! Laughable! We brought your people knowledge, language, thought! And you have the gall to think they are yours!"\n\nROWB:\n"So you're claiming ownership over our... thoughts?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"And why not?! You are just the tools of //my// imagination, an extension of //my// prowess! A house's creation should not be credited to the hammer, yet your people do so! You flaunt and boast without ever attributing the true creator! Me!"\n\n[[Where are the others?|OtherRemnants]]\n\n[[Why am I here?|PrideHereConvo]]
PLAYER approaches PRIDE statue, PRIDE appears next to the PLAYER.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Outrageous!"\n\nROWB:\n"What?! What?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"Someone has defiled my statues! Unacceptable! Unforgivable!"\n\nROWB:\n"Well... what do you want me to do about it?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"Cleanse them of course! Use your wielding. Cleanse all my statues and I will grant you more of my power... leave them defiled and I will punish you..."\n\n[[PLAYER finds last PRIDE STATUE|LastPrideStatue]]\n\n[[Back|GolemsgraveExplore]]
ROWB:\n"Just tell me what you are!"\n\nPRIDE:\n"You call us the Remnants but that is not what I am. I am not a piece of something that was broken. I am Pride and I always was. I find the term "Remnant" offensive..."\n\n[[Remnant?|RemnantExplanation2]]\n\n[[Why am I here?|PrideHereConvo]]
After PLAYER has just finished cleansing the last PRIDE STATUE PRIDE appears.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Good, good. That's the last one, you may have some use yet savage."\n\nROWB:\n"You uh... promised me more power?"\n\nPRIDE:\n"I did. I can either enhance your fortitude so you can withstand more damage or enhance your wielding so you can place more structures. Which would be your preference?"\n\n[[Fortitude|HealthIncrease]]\n\n[[Wield|WieldIncrease]]
ROWB:\n"What were you doing when I found you?"\n\nFING:\n(excited)\n"Wid deez?"\n\nFING withdraws a crystal from his satchel and holds it up in front of ROWB. Its covered in blood and bits of skin.\n\nFING:\n"Deez bring Vaal back!"\n\nROWB:\n"Why do you have part a brain!?"\n\nFING looks at ROWB confused as if it should be obvious.\n\nFING:\n"I need find pieces. Father said bring Vaal back if find pieces. Listen!"\n\nFING thrusts the crystal next to the PLAYER's ear. A faint chorus of the same voice recount different memories of the person the chunk had come from.\n\nROWB:\n"Memories..."\n\nFING withdraws the crystal and looks at it happily\n\nFING:\n"Need all da pieces, then Vaal come back..."\n\n[[You're insane!|FingInsane]]\n\n[[Can you show me to the Prison?|FingMainCathedral]]

PLAYER destroys structures trapping GNAXSIS, he falls over but then scrambles up to look at ROWB.\n\nPRIDE:\n"A reckless choice savage."\n\nPride disappears. THE VOICE chuckles.\n\nROWB:\n"Leave! Before I do the sensible thing and kill you!"\n\nGNAXSIS:\n"Why would you do this? Are you not afraid I will seek revenge?

ROWB:\n"You're taking my body?!"\n\nPRIDE grumbles.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Unfortunately, no. I cannot fully possess you, but I can compel you. You will do as I wish, but the manner in which you fufill my wishes is... yours to decide."\n\nROWB:\n"I won't let you!

PRIDE:\n"Come savage, you believe yourself a Wielder? Prove it. You will find your skills to be exponentially enhanced by bonding with me..."\n\nPRIDE gestures and a series of obstacles appear in front of them. He then disappears and reappears on the other side and calls back.\n\nPRIDE:\n"Use your wall and bridge abilities to get to me, surely even a whelp like you can manage that much!"\n\n[[PLAYER navigates course quickly|PrideConvoImpressed]]\n\n[[PLAYER navigates course slowly|PrideConvoInsult]]
ROWB:\n"Well, I guess. If it will make you calm down."\n\nROWB takes the rings from FING and puts them in his pocket. FING seems to calm down a bit.\n\nFING:\n"You not gonna hurt Vaal?"\n\n[[I'm not going to hurt you.|FingNotGoingToHurt]]\n\n[[I might hurt you.|MightHurtFing]]

ROWB:\n"Luckily, I fell near a blood vein!"\n\nROWB gestures and the CRYSTAL shatters and flows into ROWB's hand. A RED TATTOO light's up along his left arm. ROWB examines it.\n\nROWB:\n"Ah yes, I can feel it's energy! Things seem a little less dismal now..."\n\n[[PLAYER Continues|StoneCarving1]]
ROWB:\n"Do I get anything out of this?!"\n\nPRIDE:\n"You will get my abilities! You can Wield at whim, as easy a thought! Though in your case thought is in short supply..."\n\nROWB:\n"I know how to Wield!\n\nPRIDE:\n"You never had any talent! Could barely summon a wall! You were only accepted into Melga's tutelage because you shared a bloodline, otherwise you would have been hollowed long ago for your failings. We both know it to be true.
