You have your orders, Minions: Seek out and destroy the remaining Nodes! The sooner you complete this task, the sooner I can sit on my throne once again. What do you mean, "what about me"? I gave you your orders. Go and fulfill them! Your Overlord decrees it! Greens, wait here. Blues, come with me.
[The Blue Minions push aside a large block of questionable mass so that they can investigate further up the swamp.]
Perfect...it seems that we have found Node number four.
[Despite their frailty, the Blues are able to destroy the node with little effort. There is also a portal nearby to serve as a checkpoint.]
A poison marsh on the other side of the river? The design of this forest is most peculiar. I shall go and further investigate this on my own.
[After taking a roundabout way, the Overlord finds a spawning pit for Green Minions near where he first saw the poisonous cloud.]
Elf Ghost: The Sacred Grove is the last place in Evernight untouched by corruption...
You again?
Elf Ghost: See, our ancient tree still stands.
Gnarl: The area is infested! Those creatures don't know how to destroy the tree.
Elf Ghost: I know you need aid, stranger. Over by the tree is an ancient artefact.
Untouched by corruption? Where is the sport in that? Those blood-soaked unicorns seem to have made this a hiding spot of theirs. Those filthy animals do not seem to care about tainting this place. They should be taught a lesson. Kill them and retrieve that health disk.
Elf Ghost: You are skilled indeed. No leave me to my grieving.
Oh, stuff a tissue in it, you whiny bastards! Keep your stupid grove. There is hardly anything in this area worth destroying, anyway. Come. We will investigate this temple further. This cannot possibly be all there is now.
[The Blues are sent across a river to activate a gate, which generates a stone bridge to the other side, into the Skull Den]
"Skull Den?" Now this is more like it!
Gnarl: We are directly under the tree of that sleeping Elf...the heart of his nightmares.
What do you expect me to find under here, Gnarl? Clowns? Teddy bears? A video game starring an armored oaf who sends his subjects to certain death at every turn? This does not appear to be that much different from the rest of the forest. How treacherous could it possibly be?
Gnarl: It seems Oberon does not want us venturing this way...all the more reason why we should!
[The Overlord finds a mana cylinder, but as soon as he tries to steal it, a group of shamans appears and ambushes his Minions.]
Nice try, fools. You are not the only creatures who have perfected the art of resurrection, you know! Grr...all of this grunting and groaning is giving me a headache.
Gnarl: I hear the creak of something dying nearby.
Just one more node left and we can make this elf see the light again. Hmm...it appears those pudgy, flatulent trolls are here, as well. This is the last place I would expect to see one of them. I mean, ther is hardly any food here!
[The Overlord enters the Mother Goddess Temple.]
Elf Ghost: You are journeying toward damnation, Outsider! We are the ever vigilant ones. Sworn to protect the tombs of our heroes fallen in battle. We guard their rest until the day when they shall rise and reclaim our fallen Kingdom.
Gnarl: It seems that the tombs hold the key to this place. Be thankful for the foolishness of others.
Elf Ghost: Intruders! Defilers! Infidels! Cease so I may strip the quivering flesh from your unholy bones!
My...what crawled up your robe and died? Oh, wait...it was you. HAHAHAHA!
