Mask of the Betrayer - Act 1, Part 1
This is my first time playing through this expansion. I wanted to check it out because I've heard it's similar to Planescape: Torment, one of my favorite games. I like it so far.

00:00:30You
00:01:00You
00:01:30You
00:01:36Pain it surges through bone and blood it tears at your heart in the place where the shard once was
00:01:44You struggle to raise your head. The hole has been carved into your flesh just above your heart
00:01:50raggedly stitched by an unskilled hand
00:01:52Your companions the king of shadows you try to remember what became of them, but they slip from your grasp
00:02:05You are alone
00:02:071,000 tons of earth between you and the world above
00:02:11Something stirs inside you a presence a hunger
00:02:15It is bound
00:02:17Angry, and it cannot escape
00:02:22I
00:02:30Am here lie still
00:02:39My name is Sophia the binding spell is wearing off your arms and legs will be stiff, but you'll be able to walk I
00:02:47Know you have questions, but we must leave now before the spirits wake
00:02:53You
00:02:55We're in a barrow deep beneath the soil of Rashomon the locals say that powerful spirits dwell here hostile to those trying to enter and
00:03:03those trying to leave
00:03:09I'm that and more, but I'm no threat not to you at least
00:03:16Disregard whatever rumors you have heard regarding the Red Wizards. I am here to assist you and I will do just that
00:03:23I
00:03:26Don't understand if someone trapped you here cut you open and surely you would know
00:03:33But you don't know do you I can understand your confusion it must be very disorienting
00:03:44Yes, they caught my eye as well
00:03:46There's almost nothing about Rashami runes in the Academy archive, but that rune there. It's called the dancing man
00:03:54It depicts a circle of dancers surrounding an evil spirit
00:04:00The runes were part of the binding spell that held you, but I've dissolved its power come we've been here too long as it is
00:04:16You
00:04:39Come this way
00:04:47I am certain
00:04:58Yes
00:05:16I
00:05:26Am certain
00:05:46I
00:06:16I
00:06:18I
00:06:44Yes
00:06:48I
00:07:15Am certain
00:07:18Let me have a great
00:07:40I'll be or no
00:07:48I
00:08:18I
00:08:48I
00:09:18I
00:09:48You
00:09:58There you are red wizard we caught your scent on the empty air and it shook us from our sleep
00:10:05But you were alone when you went below
00:10:12My name was Nakata
00:10:15Memories flow together in this place. It's difficult to know which are your own
00:10:22My howls led an army of beasts across the groaning ice of Tirulak and there I died
00:10:29Struck down by an eater of souls a monster that wore the skin of a man
00:10:35Now tell me your name mortal or we'll tear out your throat and pry it from your ghost
00:10:42Die in these caverns and you'll find no easy road to your realm of the dead
00:10:58Leave no, you will not
00:11:03Something was trapped in the cavern of runes poison the heart of our dream swallowing memories and names
00:11:11Anything that emerges from there cannot be allowed to walk free. Those were the words of our God
00:11:28Promise what you like nothing walks alive from the cavern of wounds. Not while I guard the way
00:11:34Go back the way you came
00:11:36A
00:11:43Wound that should have been mortal that was not
00:11:55At once the presence twists with
00:11:58Crushing the breath from your lungs a wild groan rises in your ears like an animal that has hungered for centuries untold
00:12:05Yet been unable to feed and unable to die
00:12:09then
00:12:12You can see nothing here nothing your flesh seems to burst apart in ribbons the hunger erupting from within
00:12:19That
00:12:31Wasn't a spell or a divine invocation, how did you do that?
00:12:44And your wounds they've healed
00:12:46Whatever you did you destroyed that spirit. Never mind. We need to keep moving and leave this place
00:13:16Yeah
00:13:46My magic will erase this
00:14:16I
00:14:28Feel no
00:14:46I
00:15:01Yes
00:15:16I
00:15:28Am certain
00:15:46I
00:16:16I
00:16:46I

00:18:10Yes

00:23:17You
00:23:38Yeah
00:23:44Yeah
00:23:46Yeah
00:23:51Yeah
00:23:57Yeah
00:23:59Yeah
00:24:15Yeah
00:24:18Yeah
00:24:23Yeah
00:24:28Yeah
00:24:47I
00:24:49I
00:25:16Told to spawn
00:25:19I

00:30:19I
00:30:37Yes
00:30:49I
00:31:08Yes, what is it
00:31:19We're making progress toward the surface it shouldn't be much further. How are you faring? I trust your limbs are no longer numb
00:31:32Paralyzing forces can render muscles sore for days, but the pain will subside in time. I'm more worried about that wound in your chest
00:31:40Never winter this country Rashomon is countless leagues east of the Sword Coast
00:31:45Unless you've lost months of your memory. You no doubt arrived here by means of magic
00:31:50And we're free of this Barrow. We can look for clues as to how you got here and why?
00:32:11You are surprisingly comfortable with all of this I was expecting
00:32:24I was going to say I was expecting that you might not be willing to trust me given the circumstances
00:32:30And the color of my robes
00:32:32Let's be on our way. The longer we stand idle the greater the chance that the spirits will find us
00:32:40You
00:33:10I
00:33:40Yeah
00:34:10Yeah
00:34:40You

00:39:10I
00:39:26Feel no
00:39:40You

00:45:11You
00:45:30What stirs the air smells so foul go back
00:45:40I'm tired
00:45:50I am
00:46:10I
00:46:18Don't care what you smell you will not have him
00:46:30You don't know me but I know your kind
00:46:33I know that your present form for all its color is only a shadow of your true self
00:46:40And I've shaped and bound far greater things than you
00:46:44And I smell a wild storm in you
00:46:48Does your ally know the secrets you hide?
00:46:51grief and confusion
00:46:53beyond measure
00:46:55something more
00:46:58Enough words by the oath. I swore neither of you will leave my dead
00:47:10Yeah
00:47:40Yeah
00:48:10Yeah
00:48:21Yeah
00:48:40By the hell
00:49:05By the hell
00:49:11Yeah
00:49:13Yeah
00:49:38Come this way
00:49:43You
00:50:13You
00:50:43You
00:51:13You
00:51:43You
00:52:13You
00:52:43You
00:53:03I'm certain
00:53:13You
00:53:26Yes
00:53:43Follow me
00:54:13You
00:54:25Just ahead of us down the gates of Molson tear
00:54:28You've been eviscerated paralyzed assaulted by spirits and subjected to countless leagues of walking. How are you feeling?
00:54:35I
00:54:42Brought you here to speak with Leanna. She'll hopefully know what happened to you in the barrow and why?
00:54:50Leanna is an associate of my mother or so I've gathered
00:54:53I've never met her or even heard of her until I was tasked to bring you to her
00:54:57Whoever Leanna is we'll soon find out what she knows
00:55:01Though I did send ahead a pair of servants to find her and they have yet to return
00:55:09Homunculi sentient creatures crafted by my magics
00:55:17Much like Kaji only these were more primitive creatures
00:55:20They were not as smart or as good-looking
00:55:24Much like Kaji only these were more primitive creations. It would not surprise me if they got lost on the way
00:55:33Rashomon's cold winters and unforgiving landscape of crafted a folk that are well amusingly enough cold and unforgiving
00:55:41But this is my first encounter with these lands
00:55:43What little I know is based on rumors of crazed barbarians and the masked witches that rule them
00:55:48Yes, and the Rishemi are not famous for their hospitality they are especially distrusting of red wizards
00:55:53Yes, and the Rishemi are not famous for their hospitality they are especially distrusting of red wizards
00:55:59While we're here, it's best. I don't show off my robes
00:56:08Should the locals grow hostile on account of my markings their fear of red wizards will prove entirely justified
00:56:15Was there something else?
00:56:19Hopefully Liana can answer that I was instructed by my mother to retrieve you she told me little else
00:56:27She merely gave me the task to find you she did not tell me why as the headmistress of my Academy
00:56:32She is often too busy for explanations
00:56:41If you're implying that I get special treatment because of my mother I can assure you
00:56:45My rank as an instructor is entirely earned and not some token of inheritance
00:56:55These robes display my rank and affiliation as a red wizard and the locals care very little for my people as
00:57:01Long as we're in Mulsantir. I shouldn't display my red robes. Give me a moment to adjust my attire
00:57:15I
00:57:45You
00:58:15You
00:58:45You
00:59:15I
00:59:17I
00:59:44Think you've mistaken me for a horse and wagon
00:59:48You
00:59:58Yes
01:00:03Yes, what is it
01:00:06Yes, yes, yes, what is it I am certain I greet you

01:10:58I'll be or no
01:11:05On a part
01:11:12Time to die
01:11:16Ah
01:11:31Yes, why the hell
01:11:40Yes
01:11:46Yes
01:11:52I am certain
01:12:15You
01:12:31No quarter
01:12:43Follow me now
01:12:46You
01:12:51Yes, follow me now

01:13:32Yes, what is it
01:13:54You
01:14:24You
01:14:54You
01:15:24You
01:15:36Do that fight
01:15:54Yeah
01:16:01Yeah
01:16:05Yeah
01:16:09Yeah
01:16:19Dangerous
01:16:25Oh
01:16:31Got them spotted here
01:16:54I
01:17:09Am certain
01:17:24You
01:17:54You
01:18:17Come this way
01:18:24You
01:18:39Follow me
01:18:47Yes, I am certain
01:18:54You
01:19:24You
01:19:54You
01:19:56You
01:20:23This is too much to carry
01:20:26You
01:20:56You
01:21:27You
01:21:31Yes
01:21:40Yes, what is it
01:21:48Yes
01:21:50Yes, what is it
01:22:07Come this way
01:22:21Yes, what is it on a pump
01:22:33Yes
01:22:40Yes, what is it
01:22:51You
01:22:56By my direction attack
01:23:03Yes
01:23:20I am certain
01:23:50You
01:24:11Yes
01:24:17Follow me now
01:24:20You
01:24:25Yes, I am certain
01:24:40Sophia what are you doing here? I thought I smelled incompetence
01:24:44This is Kai Kamoon one of the most worthless piles of sputum to wear the red robes of they
01:24:53Kai is a sniveling sycophant. My only rivals are magicians of worth
01:24:59He also happens to be a junior instructor at my academy
01:25:03I can only wonder why he strayed so far from his mentors leash all that's changing
01:25:09Aramon rewards his allies. Well with Leanna dead
01:25:13With Leanna dead I've earned a promotion. It's a shame the old hag didn't put up much of a fight
01:25:19She destroyed herself in a blaze of fire
01:25:21Must have known she couldn't best me
01:25:30Aramon is the new power at the Academy of shapers and binders now that the headmistress is
01:25:35retired
01:25:37You are a man warned me of you
01:25:40Sophia why would you travel with this thing?
01:25:46I want no trouble from you stand aside my quarrels with Sophia
01:25:50I doubt she'll put up nearly as much of a fight as Leanna or her mother my mother
01:25:57Kai Kamoon you had best be mocking me if you raised your hand against my mother
01:26:01I will extract a thousand screams from your wretched hide. Oh, she had no idea it was coming
01:26:07She used every last cantrip she knew but her loyal allies her daughter even never arrived to save her
01:26:16And to think that you once claimed to care for me Leanna was wise to destroy herself rather than fight me
01:26:24I doubt you have the old hag sense to surrender to make this quick. No matter. Let's settle this
01:26:30I
01:26:57Can do this
01:27:00I
01:27:30I
01:27:55Magic will erase this
01:28:00You
01:28:30You
01:29:00You
01:29:30You
01:30:00You
01:30:30You
01:31:00You
01:31:30You
01:31:51This is too much
01:32:01I think you've mistaken me for a horse. Yes
01:32:11Yes, what is it
01:32:19This is too much to carry
01:32:30I
01:32:39Come this way
01:33:00You
01:33:26Follow me
01:33:31Oh, this is too much to carry
01:33:43No, this is too much to carry
01:34:00You
01:34:30You
01:35:00Hold this spot don't move
01:35:10This spot don't move
01:35:30You
01:35:32You
01:35:34You
01:35:57Keep your distance witches. I've studied your laws and we've broken none, you know our laws
01:36:03But I know you child even if these others do not you'll be better served by keeping silent
01:36:09Look Shiva the girl's companion
01:36:12It's that one who offends the land and draws an army to our gate speak your name father and be warned that you address the
01:36:19with Lauren
01:36:21You
01:36:27Crossed spells with the red wizards for an hour and drove them from our midst for that much may be forgiven
01:36:34But the bear God has marched an army of spirits to our gate and he roars for your blood
01:36:39He claims that you have defiled his sacred den and roost and evil upon the world and the bear God does not lie
01:36:46I can smell the wrongness on you foreigner
01:36:49It hangs upon you like a corpse shroud
01:36:58Make your peace with the bear God foreigner by whatever means you both deem best
01:37:03Oku has made his peace with many foreigners once they are safely in his belly
01:37:07Alone I haven't come this far with you, but what you face the spirits by yourself unless that's truly what you wish
01:37:14No, which may stand against the spirits of the land, but I will honor the debt
01:37:19We owe you for her for defeating the red wizards go to our prison on the north edge of town
01:37:24Any convict who is willing to stand at your side and fight for the land?
01:37:28I will honor the debt we owe you for honor for defeating the red wizards
01:37:32Go to our prison on the north edge of town any convict who is willing to stand at your side will be granted a full pardon
01:37:44You know not what dreams may lie hidden behind steel and room for now
01:37:49Know what paths they might open to you. We will watch from our high place and we will receive you again
01:37:55If you return alive
01:38:02You
01:38:32You
01:39:02You
01:39:32You
01:40:02You
01:40:32You
01:41:02You
01:41:32You
01:42:02You
01:42:27Yes
01:42:30Follow me now
01:42:36Yes
01:42:40Yes, what is it
01:42:53Hi, yes
01:42:59You
01:43:09Yes
01:43:19Yes
01:43:30Yes
01:43:35What is it
01:43:38Tosses for
01:43:45On a pop come this way follow me now
01:43:59I
01:44:29You
01:44:59You
01:45:29You
01:45:59You
01:46:01Ah
01:46:03Ah
01:46:29More jailers come to rattle my cage
01:46:32Here I was settling into a relaxing dream now, you've gone and spoiled it
01:46:39Ah
01:46:41Honeyed words from the other side of the cage and what tune must I sing in return?
01:46:45I wonder whatever wards and locks bind this prison. I think clever words are the key to unlocking them
01:46:52Go on. I am listening to your offer my benefactor
01:46:56Ah
01:47:00My crime
01:47:01It is a serious one
01:47:03You see, I am too handsome to look upon. It is a burden. I alone must bear
01:47:10Besides, I have no interest in the softly flowing curves of the tattooed one with you. So you need not fear me as a rival
01:47:17What did he just say?
01:47:19It is no matter here. I will remain so as not to ruin your chances with a fairer sex
01:47:27Ah
01:47:33A little bite to the usual banter with just a dash of sarcasm
01:47:37You must not be from Mulsanne tier. They have no sense of humor whatsoever
01:47:42But come now this banter is delightful, but something must have brought you here other than the chance to converse with me
01:47:49You
01:47:53Seeking soldiers, are you?
01:47:55You have come to the wrong cell. I am neither foolhardy nor desperate enough to fight barbarians or Thanes
01:48:01Go find a poor house and scatter a few coppers that might yield better results
01:48:11Does it seem like I dislike my surroundings I
01:48:14Assure you I'm quite comfortable here and I suspect safer than this town will be when the army of spirits arrives
01:48:25Now now knowing and telling are two different beasts and the bear God he is a third
01:48:32If I may say you are rather brave to marshal an army to meet them
01:48:36That's no ordinary band of spirits out there. That's a hornets nest of beasts
01:48:41They're screaming for blood so loudly I can hear them in my dreams and I am suddenly struck with the suspicion
01:48:48That the blood they seek is yours
01:48:51Grave robber, are you?
01:48:53tsk-tsk
01:48:54One should leave barrows of the ancient bear God alone
01:48:57Lest he come for you in his garishly colored furry rage
01:49:01So entertain me brave one. Why would one such as I follow you into such a hopeless battle?
01:49:11Oh
01:49:24So you seek to make my pride stand and dance
01:49:27What kind of glory-bound fool do you take me for?
01:49:30Although I will admit your perspective makes some sense and appeals to my natural hubris
01:49:42Very well, you have a willing soldier at your side
01:49:45Shall we be off and please let us visit the witch warden on the way out so I can pay my respects to her gentle
01:49:52loving soul
01:49:58Hmm
01:50:11I
01:50:19Am certain
01:50:21Hmm
01:50:39Follow me
