Zoltun's Spite

We go into town, keeping a low profile. It's best to keep our distance, because if things go wrong, we'll have to use the cube again. Wait, where is the cube?

I hear Zoltun Cole's laughter. I look around. I see him in ghostly form. "Heh," he smiles, "see you used the cube."

"What do you want Zoltun?" I ask.

"Revenge," he smiles, "you killed me, now I'm here to return to favor."

"Your evil undid you," Twitchy explains, "as it does now."

Zoltun chuckles. "Let me guess," he smiles, "you did this to save Leah and Cain? Let's make a deal. I can help. I know the full potential of this cube. It can give immense power. Give me physical form, and I will contain the Lords of Hell within the Black Soul Stone.

"And we know you won't turn on us again why?" I ask.

"Because," Zoltun explains, "my power has not been effected by your use of the cube. You've killed me before, and could easily do so again. I just want to return to life. Listen, there is a powerful nephelum wizard out if the swamps. Go there, and I will show you the cube's true potential."

"And if we don't?" I demand.

"Well," Zoltun grins, "your foes shall eventually overpower you, and you'll never be able to contain the Lords of Hell."

I sigh. Looks like we've got no choice. We head to the swamps. "Listen," Twitchy asks as we travel, "maybe the Wizard can contain the Lords? I mean, can we really trust Zoltun?"

"If we make the wrong call," I reply holding the urn, "we'll just use the cube."

We eventually happen across some undead and prepare for combat. Before we can strike, the undead are scorched by two beams of blazing fire. A wizard approaches.

"So," he greets, "you use the cube?"

"Yeah," I reply, "what's it to you and how do you know?"

"Follow me," the wizard replies. Clearly, this is the wizard we're looking for. However, he appears much stronger than us. We'll have to catch him off guard. I'm gonna assume Zoltun can posses the corpse of we have to kill the wizard.

The wizard takes us to a small hut with a ward protecting it from the monsters and demons throughout the swamps.

"So what do you know about the cube?" I demand.

"Around twenty years ago," the Wizard explains, "there were several incidents involving the Lords of Hell." The wizard takes a cow head that's mounted on his wall. The head oddly has a crown. He smiles. "You're looking at the guy who killed Diablo the last two times he threatened the world about twenty years back."
