沙洛佛克归来

整理者：hujun4501

沙洛佛克：正是那样。你终於到达了。我一直在等你。
明斯克：嗯？他就像一个坏东西，这家伙。一个穿著盔甲，有著深沉声音，世界上最坏的坏东西！！
爱蒙：沙洛佛克！你在这儿作什么！离我们远一点！！
艾德温：噢，又是「你」。我想一个大坏蛋总是死个几次才知道怎么样死透透，你说是吧？！
贾希拉：沙洛佛克！ Silvanus的神誓不能改变你吗？在复活后你一定要重现邪恶的面目吗？你想对我们做什么？
沙洛佛克：安静。我在等<CHARNAME>而且我只和<PRO_HIMHER>说话。
<CHARNAME>：沙洛佛克？！我记得上次不是在地狱里杀了你吗？
沙洛佛克：实际上，是你做的···虽然这并不是我的错。然后召唤我的人是你，即使这其实是我自己的话。从那时起，我什么也没做，只是试著使我自己再度成形。如果你回想一下，是你的意志让我们的父亲的王国成形的···无论你到底知不知道你做了什么。现在，我自己微不足道，只是你跟前的一个影子而已。
<CHARNAME>：这还是没能解释你在这里做什么。
沙洛佛克：当然，我想要做个交易。我没什么可输了，亲爱的「<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>」···但能赢的东西可多著。你也一样。而我也在你家里待了相当久的一段时间，等著跟你谈判。
<CHARNAME>：我家？你在说些什么？
沙洛佛克：你…你不知道你在哪里，不是吗？你不是刻意来到这里的？哈哈！真是苦涩的讽刺啊！你一路跌跌撞撞，几乎对你真正的力量一无所知，却能活到现在，而我，沙洛佛克，却沦落至此。呸！很好，<CHARNAME>···我会告诉你你在哪里。你在我们的父亲的深渊王国之中，<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>。这个空间一度由巴尔统治，而现在因你灵魂中的腐败而成形···但我的灵魂中已不再有这腐败了。你以前曾到过这里。这就像是···像是一个茧。我们父亲的巨大王国的一个缩影，像是所谓「空间中的空间」。我猜想是你的心智使它形成，保护你不受这地方的力量的影响。相当聪明，亲爱的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>···我以前不认为你有这种力量。无论如何，我窥见它成形，猜想它的目的是什么。所以我来到这里等待，知道你终究会到来···到时我们也许能谈谈我的···交易。
寇根：(哼著鼻子说)我可以想像得到你这家伙店里会有些什么鬼东西，<CHARNAME>，我已经做过一两笔这种买卖了。
姚恩：一笔买卖？好吧，不如扁我成个蠢蛋，干脆叫我芜菁算了。这家伙八成是某种商人，死了以后都还在讨价还价。听起来有点像便宜货叔叔，有一天，他吹牛说「姚恩啊！我的侄子啊！我以后就算死了很久也要继续赚钱。」而且他也做到了。一个内脏卖10个金币，买他的左脚得花20个金币。别问我太多。
娜里亚：一笔买卖？小心点，<CHARNAME>。不晓得死者会提供怎么样的买卖···而且这还不是普通的鬼魂，是吧？
沙洛佛克：你以为我要什么，亲爱的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>？我想要存在···我想要再一次活著。而你能做到这件事。我的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>，只要把你灵魂中最小的那一部分···慷慨的分出来，里面有著我们死去父亲的腐败。那将能再创造出我的血肉之躯，让我复活···沙列佛克会再一次活过来！
<CHARNAME>：我曾经杀死你一次···是什么让你觉得我会把你复活？
沙洛佛克：我并不是空手来到牌桌前的，<CHARNAME>。你以为我是笨蛋吗？你比我强大···我不跟你争辩这个。但我能帮你。而这也有它的代价。
<CHARNAME>：而你又能怎么帮我呢？
沙洛佛克：离开你自己的层界的知识，<CHARNAME>。这就是我所能给你的，虽然我不知道我是何时来到这里的。不，我所提供给你的知识还要意义重大的多。那要回溯到我还拥有凡人之躯的日子里，当我还在「铁王座」增加我的力量的时候。你会发现你···很感兴趣。我知道你的宿命是什么，<CHARNAME>，我也知道你必须到哪里去实现它。时间紧迫不容你自己摸索···古老预言中所提的时刻已经逼近我们了，至少是逼近你了。你觉得怎么样？
<CHARNAME>：那你又是怎么得到这所谓的知识呢？
沙洛佛克：当我还活著的时候，我搜集了相当多的古老知识及传说，我的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>。如果你回想一下，我曾经计画要继承我们的父亲的衣钵。也许，我是死了，但是···对你来讲，这传说仍然成真。
<CHARNAME>：知识？你为了得到我的一部分灵魂就只拿的出这个？
沙洛佛克：呸！知识比「任何事」都重要，笨蛋。而且我要求的只是一个光芒···一个在你心中神性的腐坏、玷污的光芒。我将不是巴尔之子，我的污点早已除去···但是我将会重生。
<CHARNAME>：啊哈。在你告诉我这些之后，还有什么能阻止我再杀你一次呢？
沙洛佛克：也许什么都没有。然而，这样做并不能将你慷慨赠与的归还给你。那么你是为了什么杀我？报仇？你已经报仇过了。你真的要责备我那古老的野心吗？如果可能，我还是会再做一次。然而我不能，你对我没有什么好害怕的。
<CHARNAME>：现在就告诉我，我会判断你的消息值不值得。
沙洛佛克：我不是笨蛋。在你上次毁灭我之后，我好不容易才能到达这里，而且我知道即使我们在讲话，事情仍在进行中。你已经没有时间靠你自己学习这些事，而且我绝对不会再给你另一个像这样的机会。
<CHARNAME>：没有其他方法能把你复活吗？
沙洛佛克：或许有吧。不管是哪一个巴尔之子的神授生命都会这样做，我真的怀疑我们其他亲爱的兄弟姊妹甚至连一半应该有的勇气都没有。
爱蒙：他···他在谈论「我」，不是吗？我灵魂的一部分也可以将他的生命带回来。
沙洛佛克：完全靠你自己想出来的，是吗？尽管想到必须要永远靠著你的一丝甜美灵魂并不会让我心里充满喜悦···不过好吧，这也的确行得通。
爱蒙：我可不是你想像中的那么「甜美」，沙洛佛克，而且你不该得到你生命中的第二次机会！你杀了葛立安！
沙洛佛克：亲爱的爱蒙，在我野心的路途中我杀的人可比他多得多呢，问问你自己，你或者<CHARNAME>杀了多少人，你是这么的清白吗？葛立安是清白的吗？我不求任何宽恕。
爱蒙：也不该由你来做！我···我不知道，<CHARNAME>。他不该得到生命，但是···如果这很重要···我会放弃我一部分的灵魂，你从芭荻手中拯救了我的灵魂。你不应该再次牺牲。
<CHARNAME>：不，爱蒙，我不会允许你为了我放弃一部分灵魂。
沙洛佛克：没有其他的方法了，<CHARNAME>，除非你还知道其他我所不知道的巴尔后裔。只有有种的人才配享受荣耀，选吧！
<CHARNAME>：那就这样吧，我同意。
沙洛佛克：所以我死里逃生了！谢谢你，亲爱的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>···没有其他礼物可以使我更满意了。
沙洛佛克：活了！肉体、血液和骨头都有了！我活过来了！哈哈！我发誓过我会想尽办法回到活生生的世界···我做到了！
维康妮亚：虽然是徒然无功，但是努力仍然可敬。失去了不朽之身，这只是加快回到墓穴的方法罢了。如果<CHARNAME>说句话，可能会再快一点。
阿诺门：沙洛佛克又复活了？这真是一个肮脏的行为，对有关自然的一切表示轻蔑！我知道你这么做有你的理由，<CHARNAME>，但是我···我大概永远无法同意你的想法。
贾希拉：并未真的死去，但是也没有活著。这···这「东西」真是令人作呕，<CHARNAME>。它甚至不是不死生物。我希望你知道你在做什么。
沙洛佛克：不过我的剑和盔甲还没有出现。没关系···没有巴尔的神灵来传导能力，剑跟盔甲没什么用。我将会没有它们去行动，就像我以前做的一样。谢谢你，<CHARNAME>，我很高兴。
<CHARNAME>：很奇怪…我感觉不到有任何不同。
沙洛佛克：我没有说这只是无足轻重的一部分吗？之前我怀疑在这里，在这个地方做，或许可能有用···但是，我不确定。很高兴到最后知道我是对的。
爱蒙：你无法「确定」它是否能运作？！我知道，你一直都在唬我！
（若队中没有爱蒙且与艾黎恋爱）艾黎：所以···你甚至「不」知道这会不会成功！你···你可能会把<CHARNAME>害死！你怎么「敢」将<PRO_HIMHER>置於这样的危险之中！！
（若队中没有爱蒙且与阿诺门恋爱）阿诺门：所以你并不知道···而且你使吾爱的性命处於险境！你这邪恶的怪兽竟敢这么做！！
（若队中没有爱蒙且与贾希拉恋爱）贾希拉：你···你没信心？！你怎么「敢」为了你的利益而将<CHARNAME>的不朽灵魂置於危险中！我应该为了这种侮辱杀了你！！
（若队中没有爱蒙且与维康妮亚恋爱）维康妮亚：一个愚蠢的赌局，iblith（废物）。要是你当初有对这造成伤害···你在地狱里的时期也比不上我会带来给你的痛苦。
沙洛佛克：我可不是毫无危险地到达我生前的地方，笨蛋。这可不是唬人···我知道的够多，足以怀疑它可能会有用，因为我们所遗传到的相同。但是那一点都不重要，我可以想像到你们渴望听见我有什么要说。我将告诉你们的第一件事情就是如何离开这个你们创造出来的次维空间。这是你意志的延伸，<CHARNAME>···它存在，因为你需要它存在。是这个空间创造出出去这里的传送门，但是它不能带你们到你们想去的地方。它带你们到你们需要去的地方，或者，也许带你们到你们相信你们需要去的地方。但是我不能给你能力使这个空间创造出这样的传送门。在你这个空间中有非常多被堵塞的通道，我对它们知道很少。然而，我能够打开其中一个···而且在它的另一边就是你要寻找的东西。注意看···
（打开第一道试练的门）
沙洛佛克：进去那个房间面对你的挑战吧，<CHARNAME>。这将会是困难的···你不会想要单独做的。如果你需要，这里有个···灵魂，可以帮你的队伍召唤出那些同伴。不管怎么样，一旦你完成了那场挑战，你就能离开你这异界。然而，它不会带你到你想去的地方···它会带你去你需要去的地方。而我，如我所说，知道那是哪儿。在我年轻时，我花了很多时间在研究古老关于死亡巴尔祭司的传说。我从一个塞瑞克的不合作教派之中发掘出古老预言之一···一个广泛地提到我们现在面临时刻的预言。剑湾地区将会被鲜红的鲜血淹没，是的···但是这些战斗将会在一场剧烈的争斗达到高潮，在一个南方的城市中，萨拉督许的泰斯勒城。你「一定」要去那里，预言中的第一步将会在那里揭晓。不过自然地，你必须先面对你的挑战。
<CHARNAME>：那接下来会发生什么事？
沙洛佛克：然后未来开始了。然后我们都将会看到你在这场冲突中会扮演怎么样的角色，还有看到你是否能够靠著从父亲那边遗传得到的过下去。
<CHARNAME>：所以你还是不是巴尔之子？
沙洛佛克：不。当我死的时候，巴尔的神灵离开了我···而且那被给予我的现在也只能维持我的凡人之身。有些人仍然把我当成巴尔之子，但那只不过是历史和记忆。
<CHARNAME>：我怎么知道我可以相信你所说的话？
沙洛佛克：当然你无法信任我。为什么你会？带我一起走，<CHARNAME>。
爱蒙：带你和我们一起？！好让你可以背叛我们，从背后捅我们一刀？为什么你认为我们想要你和我们一起行动，沙洛佛克？
沙洛佛克：我一度确信古老的预言集中在我周围。即使那不再是事实，我可能还是比任何人都知道他们的事。我可以帮助你，<CHARNAME>，帮你通过那房间里的挑战以及更多事情。当然，我这样做不是为了自私的原因。在你苏醒时有一股力量，<CHARNAME>。我确定我不是第一个告诉你这件事情的人，而且对我而言没有比这个机会更好的了。除此之外···你很久以前打败过我。你已经赢得我的尊敬，想想看吧，<CHARNAME>！兄弟和<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>，并肩作战！
<CHARNAME>：你对我能有什么用处呢？
沙洛佛克：除了我获得的知识之外，我也是一位不简单的勇士。<CHARNAME>你跟我打一场就会知道了。在地狱中的那段时间只有使得我变得更强。在你这样的人之下，我可能也会变得更强。
<CHARNAME>：当时机对你适合的时候，我怎么知道你不会袭击我呢？
沙洛佛克：如果可以的话，我发誓会唯你之命是从，我的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>啊。这儿···在这块地方···发誓是具有约束力的，就像是指使术一样。我没办法背叛你的。
<CHARNAME>：我待会儿再来找你，也许到时候你在发个誓吧！
沙洛佛克：如你所愿的，我会等你回来，<CHARNAME>。请记得···这个挑战可能会很严峻，人手多些总是比较好办事的。

沙洛佛克：你又需要我的一臂之力了？只要你一声令下，我的剑随时为你大开杀戒。
<CHARNAME>：如果要我相信你的话，我想你还是立个效忠的誓言吧！
沙洛佛克：很好，那么我，沙洛佛克，对我母亲的骨灰起誓，也对我的死神父亲起誓，我以复仇为名、以苦涩的胆汁为血···我发誓在我有生之年，绝不会背叛<CHARNAME>。
<CHARNAME>：好，那就走吧！
沙洛佛克：好！就如你所愿，我的<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>。记好了···你必须在那个洞穴里进行挑战。你可能会需要从圣灵那召唤更多的夥伴。
瑟恩：於是一切又回归圆满，你的兄弟与你共同奋战。我认为这样很不错啊。
娜里亚：我觉得沙洛佛克说的可能是真话，至少在关于誓言的部分，这个你创造的地方他立下誓言有一定约束力，我想我们可以信任他··· 应该会值得的。
艾德温：好啦，好啦，所以猴子终於戴上项圈了。我们可以走了没？！
玛兹：即使是他被誓言所束□，我还是无法相信像他这样的生物，<CHARNAME>。他迟早会转而攻击我们全部的，记住我说的话。

Sarevok:So. You have finally arrived. I have been waiting for you.
Minsc:Eh? He is like bad penny, this one. An armored, deep-voiced penny of most sinister evil!!
Imoen:Sarevok! What are you doing here?! Get away from us!!
Edwin:Oh, it is *you* again. Well, I suppose it holds true that a good villain never knows how to die properly the first couple of times, yes?
Jaheira:Sarevok! By the sacred oaths of Silvanus, is there no end to you?! Must your foulness be stamped out only to return ever more? What can you want with us?!
Sarevok:Silence. I have waited for <CHARNAME> and my words are for <PRO_HIMHER> only.
Sarevok?! Didn't I kill you for the last time in Hell?
Sarevok:You did, indeed...although that was no fault of mine. It was you that summoned me, then, even if the words were my own. I have done nothing but attempt to re-form myself, since.As you will recall, it is your will that shapes our father's realm...whether you are aware of what you do or not. I myself am nothing, now, but the shadow you see before you.
<CHARNAME>:That doesn't explain what you're doing here.
Sarevok:I wish to make a deal, naturally. I have little to lose, dear '<PRO_BROTHERSISTER>'...and plenty to gain. As do you. And I have waited in your home a considerable time to parley with you.
<CHARNAME>:My home? What are you talking about?
Sarevok:You...you do not know where you are, do you? You did not come here on purpose?Ha ha! What a bitter irony this is! You who stumble about nearly blind to your true power continue to survive while I, Sarevok, am reduced to this. Bah! Very well, <CHARNAME>...I shall tell you where you are.You are within our father's abyssal realm, <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. That plane once ruled by Bhaal and now shaped by the taint present in your soul...but no longer present in mine. You have been here before.This is a...a cocoon, of sorts. A miniature version of our father's larger realm, sort of a plane-within-a-plane. I assumed your mind formed it to protect you from the power of this place. Rather ingenious, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>...I wouldn't have thought you'd had it in you.Regardless, I spotted it forming and guessed at its purpose. So I came here and waited, knowing that eventually you would come...and that then we could discuss my...deal.
Korgan:(snort) I kin just imagine the kind o' deal yon laddie has in store for ye, <CHARNAME>. I've made a deal or two o' that sort, meself.
Nalia:A deal? Be careful, <CHARNAME>. There is not telling what kind of deal may be offered by the dead...and this is no ordinary ghost, now, is it?
Jan:A deal? Well, spank me silly and call be a rutabaga. This fellow must be some kind of merchant, indeed, to still be bargaining long after he's dead. Sounds a bit like ol' Uncle Salebottom. "Jan, my nephew," he boasted one day, "I'm going to continue making money long after I'm dead!" And he did, too. Ten gold a piece for each of his fillings and twenty for his left foot. Don't ask.
Sarevok:What do you think I would want, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>? I wish to exist...I wish to be alive again. You can do that.The smallest fraction of your soul, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>...given freely, with the taint of our dead father within it. That would recreate my flesh, restore my mortality...Sarevok would live again!
<CHARNAME>:I killed you once before...what makes you think I would want to return you to life?
Sarevok:I do not come to the table empty-handed, <CHARNAME>. You think me a fool? You are stronger than me...I do not contest that. But I can help you. And that has its price.
<CHARNAME>:And just how is it that you can help me?
Sarevok:There is the knowledge of how to leave this plane of yours, <CHARNAME>. That is one thing I can give you, although I did not know that when I came here.No, what I offer you is knowledge that is much more relevant. Something that dates back to my mortal days when I was gaining power within the Iron Throne. Something that you will find...most intriguing.I know where your destiny lies, <CHARNAME>. I know where you must go to find it. Search about on your own and it will soon be too late...the time of the old prophecies is upon us. Or upon *you*, at least.What say you?
<CHARNAME>:And just how did you come by this supposed knowledge?
Sarevok:I gathered much of the old lore when I was alive, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. As you will recall, it was my goal to assume the mantle of our father. I am dead, perhaps, but the lore still holds true...for you.
<CHARNAME>:Knowledge? That's all you're offering for a piece of my soul?
Sarevok:Bah! Knowledge is more important than *anything*, fool. And what I ask for is but a spark...a spark of the divine taint within you. I will be no Bhaalspawn, my own taint long gone...but I will be alive again.
<CHARNAME>:Uh-huh. And what's to stop me from just killing you again after you tell me all this?
Sarevok:Nothing, perhaps. Doing so would not return to you that which you freely gave, however.And what would you kill me for? Revenge? You had your revenge. Do you truly blame my old ambition? I would do the same again, if I could. I cannot, however, and you've nothing to fear in me.
<CHARNAME>:Tell me now and I'll judge whether your information is worth it.
Sarevok:I am no fool. I struggled just to get here after you destroyed me last, and I know that events move on even as we speak. You have no time to learn these things on your own...and I will never get another opportunity such as this.
<CHARNAME>:Is there no other way of restoring you?
Sarevok:Perhaps there is. Any divine spark will do, no matter which of Bhaal's children it comes from. I truly doubt our other dear little sibling, here, has half the courage required, however.
Imoen:He...he's talking about *me*, isn't he? Part of my soul will bring him back to life, too.
Sarevok:Figured that out all on your own, did you? While the thought of harboring a spark of your sugary sweet soul for eternity does not exactly fill me with joy...yes, it would provide just as well.
Imoen:I'm not as 'sweet' as you think, Sarevok. And you don't deserve a second chance at life! You killed Gorion!
Sarevok:I killed far more than he, dear Imoen, in the course of my ambition. Ask yourself how many you have killed...or <CHARNAME>. Are you so innocent? Was Gorion? I ask for no forgiveness.
Imoen:Nor would you get it! I...I don't know, <CHARNAME>. He doesn't deserve life. But...if it's important...I'll give up part of my soul. You saved mine from Bodhi, you shouldn't have to sacrifice again.
<CHARNAME>:No, Imoen. I won't allow you to give up part of your soul for me.
Sarevok:There is no other way, <CHARNAME>, unless you have another Bhaalspawn about that I am unaware of. It is your spark or nothing. Choose.
<CHARNAME>:So be it. I agree.
Sarevok:So I have cheated death! Thank you, dear <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>...no gift could please me more.
Sarevok:I...live! Flesh and blood and bone! I am alive! Ha ha! I swore I would scratch and crawl my way back into the world of the living...and I have done it!
Viconia:An admirable effort, if wasted. Without immortality, it will only be a quick trip to return to the grave. Even quicker if <CHARNAME> gives the word, perhaps.
Anomen:Sarevok lives again? A foul act that spits on everything that is natural! I know you have your reasons, <CHARNAME>, but I... I will never agree with this.
Jaheira:Not truly dead, not truly alive. This... this *thing* is an abomination, <CHARNAME>. It is not even undead. I hope you know what you are doing.
Sarevok:Though my sword and armor have not appeared. No matter. Without the Bhaal essence to channel their powers, they are of little use. I shall make do without them, as I once did. Thank you, <CHARNAME>. I am pleased.
<CHARNAME>:That's odd...I don't feel any different.
Sarevok:Did I not say it was only an insignificant portion? I suspected that doing it here, in this place, it might work...but I was not sure. It is good to see that I was correct after all.
Imoen:You weren't *sure* that it would work?! I knew it. You were bluffing the whole time!
(If Imoen isn't in your party,and AerieRomanceActive is 2)Aerie:So... then you didn't even *know* if this would work! You... you could have killed <CHARNAME>! How *dare* you put <PRO_HIMHER> at that kind of risk!!
(If Imoen isn't in your party,and AnomenRomanceActive is 2)Anomen:So you did not know... and you put the life of my love at risk! How dare you, vile beast!
(If Imoen isn't in your party,and JaheiraRomanceActive is 2)Jaheira:You... you were unsure?! How *dare* you place <CHARNAME>'s immortal soul at risk for your gain! I should kill you for such an affront!!
(If Imoen isn't in your party,and ViconiaRomanceActive is 2)Viconia:A foolish gamble, iblith. Had you caused harm to this one... not even your time in Hell would compare to the sufferings I would have visited upon you.
Sarevok:I did not get to where I did in life without risk, fool. It was no bluff...I knew enough to suspect that it might work, since our heritage was the same. But none of that is important. I imagine you are eager to hear what I have to say.The first thing I shall tell you of is how to leave this pocket plane that you have created. It is an extension of your will, <CHARNAME>...it exists because you need it to exist.It is this plane which creates the portal out, but it will not take you where you wish to go. It takes you where you need to be. Or, perhaps, where you believe you need to be.But I cannot give you the ability to make this plane create such a portal. There are many barred passages in this plane of yours that I know little of. One, however, I can open...and beyond it lies what you seek. Watch...
(Sarevok open the first challenge-room)
Sarevok:Enter that room and face your challenge, <CHARNAME>. It will be difficult...you may not want to do it alone. There is a...spirit...here which can summon those companions you require for your party, if you require such.Regardless, once you have completed that challenge, you will be able to leave this plane of yours. It does not, however, take you where you wish to go... it takes you where you need to be. And I, as I said, know where that is.In my youth, I spent much of my time looking into the old lore of the dead Bhaal priesthood. I unearthed one of the old prophecies from an uncooperative sect of Cyric...one that spoke extensively of this time now upon us.The Sword Coast will run red with blood, yes...but the battles will culminate in a great struggle within a city to the south, the Tethyrian city of Saradush.It is there that you *must* go, where the first step of the prophecy will unfold. Although, naturally, you must face your challenge first.
<CHARNAME>:And then what will happen?
Sarevok:Then the future begins. Then we will all see just how much of a role you are to play in this conflict and if you can live up to our sire's heritage.
<CHARNAME>:So are you still a Child of Bhaal or not?
Sarevok:No. Bhaal's essence left me as I died...and that which has been given to me now maintains my mortality only. Some might still consider me a Bhaalspawn, but it is solely a matter of history and memory.
<CHARNAME>:How do I know I can trust what you say?
Sarevok:Of course you cannot trust me. Why would you? Take me with you, <CHARNAME>.
Imoen:Take you with us?! So you can betray us, stab us in the back? Why would we ever want you with us, Sarevok?
Sarevok:I once was sure that the old prophecies centered around me. Even if that is no longer the case, I know more about them than perhaps anyone. I can help you, <CHARNAME>. With the challenge in that room and more.Of course, I do this for no selfless reason. There is power in your wake, <CHARNAME>. I am sure I am not the first to tell you this. And there is no better opportunity for me elsewhere.Besides...you defeated me long ago. You have earned my respect. Think of it, <CHARNAME>! Brother and <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, side by side!
<CHARNAME>:And what use might you be to me?
Sarevok:Aside from the knowledge I retain, I am a warrior of no small ability. You fought me, <CHARNAME>, you would know. I have only become stronger from my time in Hell. Under one such as you, I could be greater, still.
<CHARNAME>:And how would I know that you wouldn't turn on me as soon as it suited you?
Sarevok:I will take an oath to follow you, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>, if that will satisfy. Here...in this place...such an oath would have power, like a geas. I could not betray you.
<CHARNAME>:I might return for you later. Perhaps you can swear an oath then.
Sarevok:As you wish. I shall wait for your return, <CHARNAME>. Remember...the challenge may be difficult. Consider summoning companions to your side.

Sarevok:Do you require my sword again? It is ready to kill at your command.
<CHARNAME>:I think I will require an oath of loyalty from you, if I am to trust you.
Sarevok:Very well. I, Sarevok, swear on the bitter ashes of my mother and the dead god that is my father, in the name of vengeance and the bitter bile that is my blood...I swear that I shall not betray <CHARNAME> so long as I live.
<CHARNAME>:Fine. Let's go.
Sarevok:Aye, as you wish, my <PRO_BROTHERSISTER>. Remember...the challenge must be faced in that cavern. You may need to summon more aid from the spirit.
Cernd:And so it comes full circle once again, your brother avowed to stand by your side. Very appropriate, I would think.
Nalia:I'd suspect that Sarevok tells the truth. About the power of an oath spoken to you in this place that you created, at any rate. I think we can trust him... for what it's worth.
Edwin:Okay, okay, so the monkey has his collar. Can we go now?!
Mazzy:Even bound by an oath, I do not trust such a creature, <CHARNAME>. He will turn on all of us sooner or later, mark my word.
