Master, we have gained the Temple Summit. Akama is just above.

Completion
Who would have thought he would be working with us?

We are now one step closer to taking the fight directly to the Burning Legion on their own worlds.

Stage 1: You CAN go home

 * You have successfully pierced the holy barriers protecting the Black Temple. Confer with Kayn Sunfury and prepare to confront Akama.
 * Speak with Altruis the Sufferer / Kayn Sunfury

Upon appearing, Malevolence, Allari, Jace, and Kor'var are present.


 * Altruis the Sufferer
 * I have mixed feelings about returning here. Perhaps one day, the temple can be restored.


 * For now though, let's convince Akama to join us and return to the Fel Hammer.


 * We're ready when you are,.


 * Kayn Sunfury
 * It's good to be back, even if only for a brief time. Perhaps one day, we will retake the temple for the Illidari.


 * For now though, let us see if we can convince Akama to join us... or else.


 * We are ready when you are,.

Stage 2: Nothing Will Bar Our Way

 * The gates to the Temple Summit proper are closed. Akama is on the other side. Have your Illidari force a way in.
 * Ascend the steps and await the opening of the gate

Stage 3: Confronting an Old Foe

 * Enter the Temple Summit and confront Akama. Convince him to join you in taking the fight to the Burning Legion's worlds.
 * Speak with Altruis / Kayn and then confront Akama


 * Altruis the Sufferer
 * However you wish this to go down, we are with you, . Though, I would counsel restraint, if possible.


 * The knowledge that he has could prove instrumental in bringing down the Burning Legion. We want Akama to become a trusted advisor, despite his past history with the Illidari.


 * Hopefully, he will listen to reason. The tone of his voice suggests not.
 * say
 * say
 * say
 * Akama blasts away everyone, save the demon hunter adventurer, and they are trapped in a pillar of Lightning Entrampment.
 * say
 * say


 * Kayn Sunfury
 * However you wish this to proceed, we are with you, . I remind you that he betrayed the Master, leading to our imprisonment and Illidan's death.


 * If it weren't for Akama, the Burning Legion might already be defeated. While we want him as an advisor, his previous actions suggest that he is not to be trusted.


 * Don't misunderstand, the Master said that we should recruit Akama, so I am in favor of the plan. However, it does not sound like he is willing to be reasonable.


 * Allari and I have formulated a contingency plan just in case.

Stage 4: If He Will Not Listen to Reason...

Avoid Akama's AoE abilities and interrupt what you can.

Final Stage: A Final Attempt at Diplomacy

 * Akama is defeated. Speak with him and convince him to join you.
 * Speak with Akama


 * Akama (Altruis the Sufferer)
 * You have beaten me with honor. Perhaps I have misjudged you, demon hunter.


 * It will take some time before there is full trust between us. However, like you, I wish to see the Burning Legion's downfall.


 * They destroyed my beautiful temple. I will have my revenge.


 * Toward that goal, I will aid you,.
 * Akama stands.

 * Matron Mother Malevolence channels the same gateway spell as before, this time to return.


 * Akama (Kayn Sunfury)
 * I will never aid you, demon hunter. Like all your kind, you are no better than the demons, which you consort with. I see no difference between you.


 * The Legion and your master destroyed my beautiful temple. Trust me when I say that one day, I will have my revenge.


 * You can go twist in the Nether,.
