Walkthrough

Discovering that the Flame Legion has infiltrated the Black Citadel, Tribune Desertgrave orders you to infiltrate their ranks. You enter the camp alone since your sparring partner hasn't got a  Flame Legion Disguise. Unfortunately you've missed the Flame Legion briefing, so you need to obtain the information for yourself from the Iron and Blood Legion Imposters:

• The Iron Legion Imposter will quiz you on the leaders of the Iron Legion, to which you reply Bhuer Goreblade (responding Desertgrave or Brimstone gives you a second chance). He will then explain the plan is to kill a prominent leader of the Blood Legion dressed as Iron Legion soldiers.
• The Blood Legion Imposter leader will test you Blood Legion style: in combat. Once you defeat him, he will tell you that they are going to destroy one of the Iron Legion's siege weapons dressed as Blood Legion.

Next, speak with the leader of this branch of the Flame Legion, who will send the troops out to fight. Talk to and free the prisoner by obtaining the key from the jailer. You lose your disguise at this point. Realising your deception, the remaining Flame Legion attack your position - kill them all to complete this instance.

Knowing that the actions of the Flame Legion will cause a war between the Iron and Blood legions, you now return to Tribune Torga Desertgrave to choose your next mission. Choosing to aid the Blood Legion leads to Spilled Blood, and choosing the Iron Legion leads to Iron Grip of the Legion.

Dialogue

Facula Castrum

Your sparring partner says when you enter the instance:

Clawspur: I'll stay out of sight while you get the info. Good luck.

Dinky: I can't believe they couldn't get a disguise to fit me. Well, I'll hide here. Good luck.

Euryale: Damn orders. You gotta face all that danger and I gotta hide like a cub. Grr...I'll be here.

Maverick: Orders say I gotta stay hidden, but whistle twice, and I'm out ready to murder. Okay, buddy? E, boss!

Reeva: I wish I could go with you, but...watch yourself in there. Don't get dead.

Talking to sparring partner before infiltration:

Clawspur: I don't like you going in alone. And I don't me like staying out here alone, either. Too much aloneliness for my taste.

I'll try to send a little action your way. Stay alert. I'll be back soon.

Dinky: Ah, the irony. First ghosts kill our warband, and now you're going to turn these charr into ghosts. That is "irony", right?

Maybe not ghosts, but I'll definitely turn them dead. Wait here.

Euryale: You're going in alone? Do they want us to end as a warband of one? Of course, it'd be nice to finally be the one giving orders. But to who?

Don't go kicking me out of club just yet. Stay alert. If I fall... rain hell on them for me.

Maverick: Why do you get to go have kill-fun, and I have to stay here and do the boring lookout job? I'd look better in that disguise than you. Gah! This is a terrible day for old Mav.

When we recount this adventure, I'll add a part where you got jumped by trolls.

Reeva: Oh, shards and fardles. You really have to go alone? I...I'm not sure it's safe out here. I'd rather go with you.

This is a one charr job. You'll be fine out here. Just keep your weapon ready.

Approaching the camp entrance (cinematic):

Flame Legion Sentry: Give me the password, or I'll give you a second smile just below your chin.

male charr:

<Character name>: Back off. The password's "Burntsoul." You should be less jumpy. It's bad for your health to twitch like that.

Flame Legion Sentry: Don't tell me my business, especially not before a big attack. Hurry up and get in there before you miss the briefing.

female charr:

<Character name>: Back off. The password's "Burntsoul."

Flame Legion Sentry: Whoa! Do you have a cold or something?

<Character name>: I'm fine. I'm male, and I'm fine! Now get out of my way before I pull your horns off and shove them up your nose!

Flame Legion Sentry: All right, all right! Get in there! You're already late for the briefing.

Talking to Sentry:

Flame Legion Sentry: Get in there and do your duty. The briefing has already started.

For the Flame Legion.

Talking to Yahuk Fellstrike before attending the meeting:

Yahuk Fellstrike: You're wasting your time, Flame freak. Torture me all you want; I won't talk. I like pain. In fact, pain makes me purr.

Quiet. I'm not with the Flame Legion. And I'm not here to torture you.

(If player is male)

Great! Get me out of here. They're going to kill me-slowly. And that's my least favorite way to get killed.

(If player is female)

Whoa. You're - female? Wow, you gotta be Ash. You guys are clever. Get me out, okay? They're going to kill me-slowly. And that's my least favorite way to get killed.

I have to find out what's going on first. Sit tight. I'll let you out soon.

I want to do this right so we don't end up as cellmates. Stand by.

I'm not Flame. I'm here to help. Now pipe down while I figure out how to rescue you

Approaching the meeting:

Flame Centurion Kagaar: ...and that's the order from Trybulus Griefblade. We do this right, Blood and Iron won't even see the end coming.

Flame Centurion Kagaar: Everybody clear? Good. Gear up and move out! Down with the Black Citadel!

Talking to Flame Centurion Kagaar:

Flame Centurion Kagaar: Eyeballing me is a dangerous habit, soldier. What do you want?

Tell me what's going on. Now.

What do I look like, your nursemaid? If you were on time, you would've known. Now get out of my face.

This isn't over. You'll see.

I was late, but I need to know details. Can you fill me in, sir?

You're the late one. It's not my problem.

I hate you people.

Nothing, sir. I meant no disrespect.

Talking to Iron Legion Imposter:

Iron Legion Imposter: What do you want?

I'm infiltrating the Iron Legion. I need to be briefed.

You want a detailed briefing? Prove you know your basics. Name one of Iron Legion's tribunes.

Bhuer Goreblade?

That's right. So you passed the first test. You're still a long way from passing for Iron.

That's why I need your help. Tell me the plan and I'll fool Bhuer himself. (He tells you the plan, see below.)

How should I know that? Fine, I'll guess. Rytlock Brimstone.

Come on. Everybody knows he's blood. What kind of third rate fahrar did you graduate from?

Okay, okay. Take it easy. I'll be back.

Torga Desertgrave?

Wrong. She's Ash Legion, skrittwit. Maybe I should introduce you. She'd cut your throat before you ever saw the blade. Maybe that'd help you remember.

I wasn't ready. Give me a minute to think it over.

Um...let me go down a flagon first. To clear my head. Good-bye.

Never mind. I wanted a briefing, not an interrogation.

Talking to Iron Legion Imposter after failing his quiz:

Iron Legion Imposter: Did you do your homework, rookie? Ready to answer my simple question?

We don't have time for games. Just tell me the plan.

The plan falls apart if you can't pass for Iron. Prove to me you're not hopeless-name one of the two Iron Legion tribunes.

Bhuer Goreblade?

Finally. Was that so hard? Now I can tell you the plan. (He tells you the plan, see below.)

Hurry. We've already wasted too much time.

Rytlock Brimstone?

Not even close. He's Blood Legion. Even my dolyak knows that.

All right. Let me clear my head and I'll try again.

Torga Desertgrave?

You give that answer to an Iron soldier and the next sound you'd hear would be the smelter door slamming shut behind you. Think it over and try again.

All right. I will.

Never mind. I'll be back, though.

Forget it. I'm not proving anything to you.

Iron Legion Imposter tells you the plan:

Iron Legion Imposter: Blood's new centurion is Volante Tornpaw. She's young, and female, but don't underestimate Blood Legion.

Iron Legion Imposter: Her assassination will stir up her legion like a firebrand in a devourer nest.

Iron Legion Imposter: So we dress as Iron Legion, kill Volante, and Iron takes the blame. It's genius.

Talking to Iron Legion Imposter again

Iron Legion Imposter: Here's the plan: we hit Blood disguised as Iron and assassinate their shiny new centurion. Blood goes nuts and attacks Iron. Iron retaliates. Kill kill kill. Then we move in to mop up.

Smart. Although I prefer "kill kill kill" to "mop mop mop".

Talking to Blood Legion Imposter:

Blood Legion Imposter: Who are you? Some scrapper out to join the winning legion before it's too late?

That idiot sentry held me up. Quit being a jerk and tell me what I missed.

I don't take orders from you. In fact, I don't think you're fit for the job. Let's see if you fight hard enough to pass for Blood Legion.

Anything to shut you up. But I warn you...this may stings a little.

I don't have time for this.

This mission is too important to waste time. Please, what did I miss?

Did you say "please"? Ha! You'll never pass as Blood with coward's talk like that. Prove you can beat me in a fight, and maybe I'll tell you what you want.

If that's the only way. Just bleed when you've enough.

I'll come back when you're in a better mood.

It's that sentry's fault I'm late. You look smart...tell me what I missed.

It's not that easy, soldier. You have to work for the answers. Let's see if you've got what it takes to pass for a Bloodie. Come one-fight me!

Okay, you won't tell me? Then I'll just beat it out of you.

What's the point? I'll come back when you're more cooperative.

Never mind.

Talking to Blood Legion Imposter a second time if you chose to not fight him the first time.:

Blood Legion Imposter: So, you feel better after a good cry? Ready now to prove you can fight hard enough to pass for a Blood Legion Soldier?

That's why I'm here. We'll see who's the real crycubby.

Just wanted to give you another chance to back down. Sit tight.

During the fight with Blood Legion Imposter

Blood Legion Imposter: Ow, that hurt like a-I mean, nice shot.

Blood Legion Imposter: Now you're making me mad!

After the fight with Blood Legion Imposter:

Blood Legion Imposter: Hey, I give, I give! Baelfire's claws, you're tough. Glad you're on our side.

Blood Legion Imposter: The plan's simple. We pose as Blood Legion and break Iron's precious new siege engine.

Blood Legion Imposter: We frame Blood, watch Iron attack them, and the whole citadel will be claw to throat. Then, we strike!

Talking to Blood Legion Imposter again:

Blood Legion Imposter: Here's the plan: we disguise ourselves as Blood Legion and destroy Iron's new siege engine. Iron retaliates against Blood. Blood and Iron wear each other down, then we show up to finish them off.

I like it. Thanks for the information...and the workout.'

A new dialogue option appears when you talk to Flame Centurion Kagaar, after you've dealt with both imposters:

Flame Centurion Kagaar: Eyeballing me is a dangerous habit, soldier. What do you want?

I've been briefed on the operation, sir. Looking forward to it. Can you tell me more?

Thanks to Trybulus Griefblade's hard work and cunning-Iron fights Blood, Blood fights Iron, and the winner is...Flame. Get ready to move out.

Sir, yes, sir!

As Flame Centurion Kagaar leaves:

Flame Centurion Kagaar: Okay, maggots, enough jawboning! We've got a job ahead.

Flame Centurion Kagaar: Just a nudge to start Iron and Blood fighting, then we step in and pick the bones clean.

Yahuk Fellstrike: Hey! Get back here and let me out so I can fight, you cowards! I deserve to die in combat!

Talking to Flame Legion Head Jailer:

Flame Legion Head Jailer: Watch it. You're in my territory now. What do you want?

That prisoner in the cage looks familiar. Who is he?

Some Blood Legion cub we caught trying to sneak in. He put up a good fight-he's a decent elemantalist-but we got him. Now, either he joins us or he dies slow.

Either way, we win.

Nothing right now. Carry on.

Talking to Yahuk Fellstrike:

Yahuk Fellstrike: You're wasting your time, Flame freak. Torture me all you want; I won't talk. I like pain. In fact, pain makes me purr.

Quiet. I'm not with the Flame Legion. And I'm not here to torture you.

(If player is male)

Great! Get me out of here. They're going to kill me-slowly. And that's my least favorite way to get killed.

(If player is female)

Whoa. You're - female? Wow, you gotta be Ash. You guys are clever. Get me out, okay? They're going to kill me-slowly. And that's my least favorite way to get killed.

I'll get you out. Where's the key?

The jailer has it. But it's chaos here with the big attack looming. There's new orders coming down all the time. Soldiers running around like moas with their heads cut off.

The chaos might help. Sit tight and stay low.

I want to do this right so we don't end up as cellmates. Stand by.

I'm not Flame. I'm here to help. Now pipe down while I figure out how to rescue you

Talking to Yahuk Fellstrike again.

Yahuk Fellstrike: I hope you're taking me with you this time. It's much better rescue if you take the rescuee with you.

I'm on it. What do I need to do?

Get the key from the jailer. This cell dampens my magic, so I can't help you open the lock. But once I'm out, you and I can hit 'em with both barrels.

Good. Sit tight, I'll have you out of here in time for dinner.

Calm down. I'll get you out as soon as I'm finished here.

A new dialogue option appears when you talk to Flame Legion Head Jailer.

Flame Legion Head Jailer: Watch it. You're in my territory now. What do you want?

I've got new order from the centurion regarding this prisoner.

More new orders? This is crazy. The right paw doesn't know what the left paw is doing. What is it this time?

I'm taking over here. Give me your keys. Now.

Figures. I give this job my all, and they give this job to someone else. Tell the centurion I said...forget it. Here's my keys. I'm gone.

The brass is just being cautious. Dismissed, soldier.

The centurion appreciates all your hard work. He sent me to relieve you.

He actually noticed me? That's a first. But I really could use a break. Very first thing, I'm hittin' the head.

Just give me your keys and I'll take it from here.

Routine security check. Standard rotation. I'll cover your station.

At least that makes sense. Watch the prisoner-he's a tricky one, just like all elementalists. I'll be back soon.

Take your time. I'm not going anywhere.

I'll come back when you're more receptive to new orders.

Talk to Flame Legion Head Jailer again:

Flame Legion Head Jailer: Hey, if you're relieving me, quit yammering and watch the prisoner.

A new dialogue option appears when you talk to Yahuk Fellstrike.

Yahuk Fellstrike: I hope you're taking me with you this time. It's much better rescue if you take the rescuee with you.

Quiet. I've got the Key. Once I take care of the guards, we are home free.

Wait! These devils tortured me and killed my whole warband. If there's fighting to be done, I want a piece of them before I go.

Okay. I hope all this time in the cage hasn't made you rusty.

Flame Legion Head Jailer: Hey! The prisoner's escaping! I need some help here!

After the first wave of Flame Legion.

Yahuk Fellstrike: That's only the first squad. The rest won't let me go so easy!

Flame Legion Prison Guard: What the...the prisoner's out! Help me put this idiot back in his cage!

After the final waves of Flame Legion.

Flame Legion Head Jailer: I'll taste your blood!

After defeating Flame Legion Head Jailer (cinematic):

<Character name>: Ugh! It feels good to get out of that Flame Legion disguise.

Yahuk Fellstrike: You look much better now. Blood of the Khan-ur, you saved my life.

<Character name>: I wish I could've done the same for your warband.

Yahuk Fellstrike: The Flame Legion wanted the citadel watch roster, and killed my friend one by one to get it. I was next.

<Character name>: I hear you. Ghosts and incompetence slaughtered most of my 'band. But you don't have to be a gladium. Throw in your lot with us.

Yahuk Fellstrike: Gladly. I owe you my life. Just promise me that we'll pave the citadel's streets in Flame Legion carcasses.

<Character name>: Count on it. For now, get to safety. A warband member is outside. Wave; say you're with me. They'll get you to the citadel. I'll meet you there when I'm done.

Junker's Scrapyard

Upon approaching Sicaea.

Sicaea the Shrouded: Hey, over here. I'm glad you made it. My feet hurt and I'm tired of shooing people away.

Upon approaching Tribune Torga (cinematic):

<Character name>: Hail, Tribune! I have information. Flame Legion is going to trick Blood and Iron, making each think the other attacked them. If the plan works, it might break the citadel's alliance.

<Character name>: They're targeting Iron's new weapon and a Blood Legion centurion. The whole thing was cooked up by someone named Trybulus Griefblade.

Sicaea the Shrouded: I know the name "Griefblade". He's real trouble. Blood and Iron need to know now, so they can prepare.

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: No. This is an Ash operation. Blood and Iron would make a drake's breakfast out of it. We'll handle it ourselves.

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: The legionnaire will take one mission; Fengar can handle the other.

Sicaea the Shrouded: Fengar? Tribune, Fengar's not experienced enough for something this big. I'll do-

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: No. Sicaea, your orders are to track down Griefblade. Fengar, you've finally got your chance for field duty.

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: Now, Legionnaire. You brought the intel, so we'll make it your call: guard Iron's engine or Blood's centurion? Decide, and move out.

Talking to sparring partner:

Clawspur: Effective operation. Yahuk seems...useful.

I think so. Just let him settle in before you start talking his ear off.

'kay.

Thanks, buddy.

Agreed. See you, buddy.

Dinky: If you have fake plants, do you have to pretend to water them?

A mystery for the ages. So, what do you think of Yahuk?

Well, I don't like magic much-it's so invisible-but he seems okay. Maybe he'll know what to do with the plants.

You'll like him better once you see him in combat.

You worry too much-but I'm glad you're on my side.

Euryale: Flame Legion? Are you out of your furry mind? You should've taken me with you.

Torga said it was a solo mission. And I wasn't entirely alone; I met Yahuk.

That elementalist you brought back? Don't tell me - he followed you home and now you want to keep him.

He fought well and he's willing to join our warband. What do you think?

Sure. The more firepower, the better. And in between battles, maybe we can exchange tricks of the trade.

I hoped you'd feel that way. Thanks!

Kind of defeats the idea of a solo mission. Maybe next time.

Maverick: I hear you took out a bunch of Flame Legion guys. How'd you get to go and I didn't? I'm the one with the killer looks and combat skills.

Just lucky, I guess. So, what do you think of Yahuk?

He's not as smart or pretty as me. Of course, I've set that bar pretty high. But he loves kicking FLame Legion tail, so we have that in common. So...yeah, he'll do.

We can't have two Mavericks. Wouldn't be fair to the enemy. Thanks, buddy.

You got the looks, but I got the keep-your-mouth-shut instincts. I'd say Torga picked the right spy.

Reeva: Are you really okay? I was worried there was no way you'd make it back alive. So many Flame Legion soldiers and so few you.

I am back. And I brought a souvenir. What do you think of Yahuk?

For the warband? He can murder Flame Legion like the best of 'em, he laughs at my jokes, and he's easy on the eyes. When can he start?

I guess that makes it unanimous. Thanks.

I appreciate the concern, if not the lack of confidence. Good-bye.

Talking to the other NPCs before deciding:

Yahuk Fellstrike: Welcome back, boss. When do we fight? I'm itching to prove you were right signing me up.

I take it my warband had no objections?

I told them what happened at the Flame Legion Camp. How you rescued me, and then we fought our way out together. They welcomed me in.

What about your former Blood Legion commanders? Did they object to you joining Ash?

They started to argue against it. But as soon as I mentioned your name, Tribune Brimstone's ear perked up. The others shut up real quick when he said "done".

I thought he'd be angry.

Either Brimstone's above legion politics, or he respects you in particular.

Then we're ready to go. Let's to move out.

How was being an elementalist in Blood Legion??

Some officers objected, but not Brimstone. My warband never gave me trouble. When the time comes, I'll make Flame pay for what they did to us.

Then we're ready to go. Let's to move out.

Why do you think the Flame Legion kept only you alive when they killed everybody else?

They assumed that because I'm a magic-user, they could easily convert me. Those Flame Legion goons have always underestimated us.

Now you can make them pay for that mistake.

Good. We should get ready to move out.

Good to hear. At ease, Fellstrike.

Sicaea the Shrouded: Good to see you again, <player name>. Better hurry. The tribune's waiting for your decision.

On my way.

Fengar Cruelmane: My own operation? This is what I've been waiting for!

Do you have a preference as to which op you want?

It doesn't matter to me. I'm just excited to finally be out in the field.

All right. I'll pick, and get back to you.

Calm down. You don't even know what you're doing yet.

You're right. Go talk to Torga so we can get started!

I'm on it.

I'm excited for you. Good luck.

Talking to Torga to make the decision:

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: The choice is yours. Will you defend Blood or Iron?

I'll help the Blood Legion defend Centurion Tornpaw. (Leads to Spilled Blood.)

That leaves the Iron Legion mission for Fengar. I'll send word to Wroda the Quick to meet you near the Blood Legion camp.

Done. The Flame Legion won't get anywhere near Blood's new centurion.

I'll help the Iron Legion defend their siege engine. (Leads to Iron Grip of the Legion.)

That leaves the Blood Legion mission for Fengar. Our Contact, Samona Ironclaw, works at the machinery warehouses; meet her there.

Will do. The Flame Legion won't lay a paw on Iron's war machine.

I'd like more information. Tell me about your agents in each legion.

We have a spy in the Blood Legion named Wroda the Quick. Reliable, but intense. She'd be your contact. Samona Ironclaw is our contact in Iron. Sharp, but chatty.

I'll protect the Blood Legion's Centurion Tornpaw from assassination.

That leaves the Iron Legion mission for Fengar. I'll send word to Wroda the Quick to meet you near the Blood Legion camp.

Done. The Flame Legion won't get anywhere near Blood's new centurion.

I'll protect the Iron Legion siege engine.

That leaves the Blood Legion mission for Fengar. Our Contact, Samona Ironclaw, works at the machinery warehouses; meet her there.

Will do. The Flame Legion won't lay a paw on Iron's war machine.

I'm not ready to report yet, Tribune. I'll return when I am.

I'm not ready to report yet, Tribune. I'll return when I am.

Talking to NPCs after deciding:

Tribune Torga Desertgrave: You've got your orders. The Flame Legion won't be sitting still. Stay alert and strike quickly.

If you don't mind me asking, why Fengar? Why not Sicaea?

I need Sicaea elsewhere. She's my top agent, and these tasks are somewhat...elementary. Fengar's been begging for an operation. He deserves a chance.

I understand, Tribune. Fengar needs a chance to build his skills. He's stifled here, and he wants to help.

Yes, <player name>. Well said. If not now, when? We all start somewhere.

See you soon, boss.

Did he sweet-talk you, Tribune? With that cute, little, furry face of his?

Stand down, soldier. Fengar earned this chance.

I hope it works out, Tribune.

Fengar isn't ready for such an important job. You can't let him go!

I can, and I will. Otherwise, he'll sneak out on his own some night, and get himself killed. Better he gets experience when I can keep an eye on him.

As you say, Tribune.

Understood, Tribune.

Fengar Cruelmane: This will be glorious. You and me on parallel missions. Flame Legion will never see us coming.

You better hope so; for Blood/Iron Legion's sake.

I'm not worried. Tribune Desertgrave has complete faith in me. Once your Iron/Blood Legion operation is underway, I'll set out on mine. Good luck.

Same to you-you'll need it. Let's get started.

Just stay focused and you'll do fine.

Thanks. Once your operation is underway, I'll set out on mine. Good luck.

You too. Let's go show the Flame Legion how real soldiers fight.

How'd you end up as the Tribune's aide, anyway?

She oversaw some of my training in the fahrar. One of my instructors was in her warband and recommended me, so Tribune Desertgrave took me on.

For the Blood/Iron Legion's sake, I hope her trust wasn't misplaced.

I'm not worried. Tribune Desertgrave has complete faith in me. Once your Iron/Blood Legion operation is underway, I'll set out on mine. Good luck.

Same to you-you'll need it. Let's get started.

I hope she was right. For this mission, we'll both need to be at our best.

Thanks. Once your operation is underway, I'll set out on mine. Good luck.

You too. Let's go show the Flame Legion how real soldiers fight.

Not if we do our jobs right. Good luck, Fengar.

Sicaea the Shrouded: I'm glad you chose this assignment. I only wish you could do both missions. Fengar means well, but he's in over his head on this one.

But the tribune wouldn't even discuss it. Why?

Sometimes the other legions think Ash is weak, and Torga hates that. But no legion should face Flame Legion alone.

If we give Torga a clear Ash victory on this one, maybe she'll relax. See you around.

You said you knew Trybulus Griefblade. What can you tell me about him?

His name keeps coming up. Seems he's had his claws in every major scheme they've hatched up lately. I do know he's devious, ruthless and smart. That can be a bad combination.

If he is all those things, there may be more to this plot than we know.

That's my fear. I don't believe they left Ash out of this one. From what I've seen and heard, Griefblade is capable of hitting three High Legions at once.

That's why we're counting on you to find out that mongrel and put him down.

Tribune Desertgrave got rough on you back there. What was that about?

Sometimes the other legions think Ash is weak, and Torga hates that. But no legion should face Flame Legion alone.

If we give Torga a clear Ash victory on this one, maybe she'll relax. See you around.

I'm not worried. You'll fine him. Good luck.

We'll get the job done, don't worry. Good luck on your mission.

My story

“ The Flame Legion is planning simultaneous attacks on Blood and Iron, designed to turn them against each other. Tribune Desertgrave needs this information right away. Tribune Desertgrave believes the Ash Legion can stop the Flame attacks on Blood and Iron. I've been ordered to stop one attack, while Fengar Cruelmane stops the other. — My story

Notes

• If the "Report to Flame Legion centurion." line doesn't appear in the objectives after talking to the two imposters, speak with him anyway.
