Season: Autumn
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quest Guilt Trip.
Baba had no mercy for Dragoy and Slavitza. Yaga had little hope for Volko, but she wished with all her heart that Zora was still safe somewhere out there.
Something went very wrong this time around. The Faceless Idol in the Hut seemed to malfunction. Having survived its energy burst, Yaga found herself in a mysterious tomb. She needed to leave as soon as possible as something was there, lurking in the shadows.
In this dark place forsaken by the gods, Yaga was not alone. She was now facing Baba. Yet the demon seemed preoccupied with some dilemmas beyond mortal reasoning.
But perhaps there was a method to its madness.
Q: ... not much thicker than water... but binds stronger than iron...
A: Blood
Q: ... white as chalk but not as brittle... tales stronger than death in it can be written...
A: Bone
Q: ... even when of stone, only heavy at times... it can leap, even as it bleeds...
A: Heart
With the demon gone, the way out seemed clearer, albeit not crystal clear. Still, crystals were to play a role in Yaga’s great escape.
An inevitable confrontation finally happened. Baba turned out not to be a very hospitable host. Which may or may not have had something to do with a poor choice of words.
It was high time for Yaga to run as fast as she could. The promise of safety lay just around the corner.
Our heroine survived her encounter with Baba. The demon’s words remain a mystery, yet some answers seemed to crawl around Yaga’s mind. She would rather not give them much thought as a far more pressing matter remained at hand.
She needed to find Zora. It was the only thing that really mattered.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest The Fall.
