The Bittersweet Toast

I've agreed to meet Iulian near the swamp. He'll show me the way to Vera's house.

We agreed with Iulian that I'll light the campfire by the swamp to signal him when I'm ready to go see his poisoner friend.

I should follow Iulian's lead.

We've come across a pack of hungry wolves. I should dispose of them.

I should follow Iulian's lead.

We found a mutilated body on the path to Iulian's friend's hut. We should see what happened.

I should follow Iulian's lead.

Vera wasn't home. We have to find her.

I should look around Vera's hut and see if I can find anything helpful.

I've found out what Vera needed – I should let Iulian know she's after the missing ingredient: salamanders.

It appears that Vera went to set up some salamander traps. We should look for her by the stream.

Vera went deeper into the swamp after grabbing the trapped salamanders. We can still see her tracks, we should follow her.

We have to find more of Vera's footsteps to see which way she went.

Vera is dead – we found her body at the ritual site. Iulian said she might have some vital notes on her, I should check.

The ritual scroll was not on Vera's body – she might have dropped it while fleeing. I have to find it.

Vera's tracks should lead to where she was attacked. The scroll might be there, too.

I got to a clearing in the bogs. I should look around and see what I can find.

I found Vera's ritual scroll. I should give it to Iulian.

I can't conduct the ritual at night, I must return to Iulian during the daytime to proceed.

Whenever I'm ready, it's time to start Vera's blood poisoning ritual.

I should talk to Iulian.

Iulian's blood is poisoned – I need to show up for the duel with Ambrus before it kills him.

The giant lizard that Vera was after has a lair somewhere in the nearby caves. I might be able to find it.

If I want to complete the ritual the way Vera intended, I have to kill the giant lizard and gets its poison gland.

We have all the ingredients now. All that's left is finishing the brew before we start the ritual.

I should check in with Iulian and see what we do next.

Everything is set and done – now we need to perform the ritual to poison Iulian's blood.

It's time to light the first pillar.

It's time to light the second pillar.

It's time to light the third pillar.

A hostile spirit was drawn in by the ritual. I need to destroy it.

It's time to light the fourth pillar.

It's time to light the fifth pillar.

We're almost there. It's time to finish the ritual with Iulian.

More hostile spirits have appeared, drawn in by the ritual. I need to kill them.
