Notes

Head south out of the wall to Admiral Taylor's Farm. There, Admiral Taylor and a whole bunch of dead workers/villagers are in the field. Taylor's spirit is strung up on some kind of necromantic structure in the middle of the field.

Admiral Taylor yells: Hero, help me down from here. We don't have much time!

Admiral Taylor says: Ephial betrayed me. He slaughtered my men and turned them against -

Ephial says: You have heart, Taylor. I'll give you that.

Ephial says: I suppose there's not much point in disguises any more.

Ephial transforms from a standard male human to a necromancer model!

Ephial says: Now, Admiral, it is time to finish what I started.

Ephial casts a spell, and all of the dead corpses in the field start flying about, circling closer to Taylor's spirit. They combine to form Soulscythe!

Ephial yells: Rise, and carry out my will!

Aggro it:

Soulscythe says: I will tear you and your garrison apart.

At 20%:

Soulscythe says: A soldier's duty... is never done.

Finish it off:

Soulscythe says: Your time... will come.

Ephial says: Very well. I'll finish you myself.

At 50%:

Ephial says: I turned the Admiral's "followers" against him. Perhaps I shall pay your garrison a visit next?

Finish him off:

Ephial says: The dark one promised me so much... if I succeeded...

Admiral Taylor says: You've done it. We are free!

Taylor's spirit survived, somehow. Turn in to it.

On complete

Jasper Fel runs up.

Jasper Fel says: Commander, are you alright?
