Jerhyn
My astrologers failed to predict this eclipse. You should seek Drognan’s advice.

Greiz
This midday darkness reeks of foul magic! My men and I are trying to keep the peace, but this kind of thing really scares people.

Elzix
Two men arrived late last night bearing a story about evil magic. They said they saw a gathering of giant snake creatures performing some arcane ritual. They sound like the Serpent Men of the desert.

Warriv
The sun has grown disgusted with the terrible deeds it must shine upon each day. Damnation is upon us all.

Atma
Drognan, the wizard, will have some idea as to what is happening.

Geglash
This whole place is one big ale fog.

Fara
This unnatural nightfall is no doubt caused by evil sorcery. Drognan might know what we are dealing with.

Lysander
Claw Vipers! This outer darkness mirrors the inner blackness of their souls. It is they who have eclipsed the sun, I’ll wager. They are a venomous band.

Drognan
I’ve been researching this lengthy eclipse and I believe it to be the work of Claw Vipers. Find their temple beneath the desert sands and you may find the source of this curse.

Meshif
This permanent darkness is very unsettling. Hmmm… It would make navigation by stars easier for me, though.

Deckard Cain
Drognan may have some advice on this matter. Hmm… I think I’ll speak with him myself.

Jerhyn
This eclipse is a definite manifestation of evil.

Greiz
Don’t worry! My men and I have an iron grip on this town. If those cursed Claw Vipers are plotting anything against us, we’ll be prepared for ‘em.

Warriv
The calculated coldness of the reptilian brain makes the Claw Vipers uncanny adversaries.

Geglash
It’s strange when the morning after the night before… is still the same night.

Meshif
I’ve had about enough of this darkness. I don’t even know what day it is anymore.

Fara
The Claw Vipers practice evil magic. They have also been known to kidnap travelers and sacrifice them to their dark gods.

Lysander
Well… I don’t know much about the habits of Claw Vipers, to be honest. Drognan will probably know something about the nature of the magic at work.

Drognan
I’ve discovered a reference to a similar eclipse several hundred years ago. It says that some desert-dwelling snake demons had erected an evil altar, which caused the sun to go black. Perhaps we are dealing with something similar here. Look for an altar in the Claw Viper temple.

Elzix
I usually charge for rooms by the night. But I may have to soon change that.

Deckard Cain
The source of this spell is probably a magical altar. It will not be enough to kill the Claw Vipers. To reverse the spell you must destroy the altar.

Atma
I was going to go to bed, but then I realized that I have no idea what time it is. It could be the crack of dawn, for all I know.

Jerhyn
The sun again shines on Lut Gholein! I’m beginning to like you, traveler.

Greiz
I’m glad that’s over with!

Elzix
Ahh… It takes but one eye to revel in the beauty of our restored sun.

Geglash
So, this is daylight… It’s over-rated.

Warriv
With renewed daylight, one may gather the wits that were scattered about like restrictive undergarments in the darkness.

Meshif

Meshif
So… Did you plunder any booty?

Atma
You have done well to restore light to our world.

Fara
Drognan seems to have taken you into his confidence. This is good, for you will benefit from his wisdom.

Lysander
Ahhh… Claw Vipers are fond of magical artifacts. Did you happen to find one in their temple?

Drognan
You did well in destroying the Claw Vipers. We are all glad to see the sun returned to its former glory.

Deckard Cain
I’ve been speaking with Lord Jerhyn, and I sense that he is becoming more and more agitated by something. You should try to talk to him again. If he still won’t take you into his confidence, seek to prove yourself a bit more. I gather that his respect for you is growing.
