DialogueEdit
When you enter the cave, the Tree Spirit will call out as she notices your arrival:
- Tree Spirit: "What life comes to witness my sorrow?"
You can then have a conversation with her:
- "Dark. Cold. Dry. Worse than death this prison is. But my bindings cannot be broken like a dead branch.
There is no escape, no release." - Are you related to the talking tree outside?
- "Yes. That tree is me. Or rather it is the life form in which I was the life force.
But another came and by foul magics took my place. Merethrin the mage. He cursed us both." - How did you become cursed?
- "No details do I know, only that by arcane ritual did Merethrin pervert the natural order, binding me here and him there.
I to lose my body and he to lose his mind." - Is there any way to reverse the curse?
- "This I never knew and Merethrin will not recall. He was a revered member of the Mages Guild in Shornhelm. Perhaps answers are there to this question. Or perhaps not."
If you speak to her again, she will say:
- "More than what I have said, I do not know. If the curse can be reversed, so relieved I would be."
Once you return after investigating Merethrin's notes:
- "You've returned. I did not expect this. Dare I hope, though? Do you know the means by which I might be released?"
- Merethrin's notes said this elemental dust would reverse the spell.
- "Then delay no longer. Any thirst I once felt for life has long since faded. All I seek now is the peace of death.
Though I want to despise the mage for what he did, I feel more pity than hate. I hope this gives him release as well."
After the crystals in the cave are destroyed she will say "Peace at last." before fading away.
