''The Guardian transmats to the barge of asteroids occupied by Scorn onlookers that leads to the Revenant Fortress.''
 
*'''The Crow:''' All right, Guardian. Time to take another run at Fikrul.
 
*'''[[Eramis, Kell of Darkness|Eramis]]:''' I challenge you to make more of this mission than the last. The Scorned Kell mocks us.
 
*'''[[Variks, the Loyal|Variks]]''': Fikrul has the Echo, yes, but the Guardian is not unarmed.
 
*'''Eramis:''' You're the expert on being unarmed.
 
*'''The Crow:''' Now, now. Let's focus up. Our goals are to find the lost Apothecary… Explore the fortress, and empower the Guardian’s new weapon. Let's go.
 
''Travelling past the onlooking Scorn, the Guardian arrives to the Courtyard.''
 
:::'''Fikrul's children welcome you.'''
 
:::'''The Trickster appears!'''
 
*'''Eramis:''' So begins the gauntlet of Fikrul's resurrected misfits.
 
*'''Variks:''' Misfit indeed. Cast out of Eliksni society, Araskes has found a new home.
 
:::'''The Trickster flees!'''
 
*'''Eramis:''' The Trickster flees yet again. The Darkness has not granted her courage.
 
*'''Variks:''' Courage is no guarantee of victory. You have proven it many times, Eramis.
 
''The Guardian enters into the Bailey where the Scorned Organist briefly stands at the organ before transmatting away.''
 
*'''The Crow:''' Hold up, Guardian. Something about that instrument changed. There's new playable notes.
 
*'''Variks:''' Similar to an instrument of Old [[Riis]]. Crude, but beautiful.
 
*'''Eramis:''' The Scorn developing artistry? Preposterous.
 
*'''Variks:''' The power of the Echo is great. Perhaps it grants more than undeath.
 
''The Guardian pushes forward into the fortress.''
 
*'''Variks:''': Human legends viewed mirrors as gateways. [chitters thoughtfully] Perhaps there is truth in this.
 
*'''The Crow:''' Maybe so. We saw the same thing in [[Savathûn]]'s [[Court of Savathûn|Throne World]].
 
''Travelling to the Mirror Gallery, the Guardian uses a mirror to enter the Revenant Plane.''
 
*'''The Crow:''' Keep an eye on your new weapon, Guardian.
 
*'''Variks:''' It grants sight beyond vision. Perhaps not everything is as solid as it seems.
 
''Returning to the physical plane, the Guardian arrives to the Fighting Pit where they battle. To obtain the energy needed to defeat the Pit Enforcers, the Guardian ventures back into the Revenant Plane.''
 
*'''The Crow:''' Guardian, the Revenant Plane has a unique energy signature. Collecting it may be the key to bypassing enemy defenses.
 
''Collecting the essence they require, the Guardian returns to the physical plane where they slay the two Pit Enforcers, summoning forth Kaniks, the Mad Bomber in the process.''
 
*'''Eramis:'''' Kaniks. Bomber of the Origin Libraries. Do the [[Awoken]] know he lives?
 
*'''The Crow:''' I didn't mention it to [[Mara Sov|Mara]]. I’ve got enough diplomatic knots to untangle already.
 
''Utilizing the power of their essence, the Guardian defeats Kaniks. Teleporting to the Fighting Pit, Fikrul uses his Echo to resurrect Kaniks, who transmats away shortly after his resurrection.''
 
*'''Fikrul:''' Too long my children served others. The Great Machine. My father. [[The Witness]]. Now they serve themselves. They build. They sing. Scorn are free. For the first time… free!
 
''With Fikrul teleporting away, the Guardian continues forward into the Bailey of the Revenant Fortress.''
 
*'''Eramis:'''The Revenant Plane shows a level of sophistication I've not seen from the Scorn.
 
*'''Variks:''' The longer Fikrul possesses the Echo, the more his mastery will grow. As with [[Maya Sundaresh]].
 
*'''The Crow:''' And we saw where that led. The sooner we get it off him, the better.
 
''Delving deeper into the Revenant Fortress, the Guardian travels across the Undercroft''
 
*'''Eramis:''' Fikrul rants about liberation as he builds an army of Eliksni corpses. It's disgusting.
 
*'''Variks:''' And familiar, yes? He speaks of unity, freedom from the Great Machine. Hypocrisy of humanity. Eramis gave similar speeches… while Variks cheered.
 
*'''Eramis:''' I will not be compared to that maniac.
 
*'''The Crow:''' Enough. I'm done looking backward. Hashing over every regret and… and poor decision. We've got a chance to do something good here. Let's not miss it by getting stuck in the past.
 
''Entering into the Sanctum, the Guardian interacts with a mirror to travel into the Revenant Plane.''
 
*'''Eramis:''' If the Echo has the power to make whole worlds, it's mightier than I feared. I wonder what it might do in… worthier hands.
 
''The Guardian is assaulted by Hiraks, the Mindbender alongside his Hive forces.''
 
*'''Eramis:''' The Hive, fight alongside this [[Dreg]] of [[House of Exile|Exile]]?
 
*'''Variks:''' Hiraks learns much of the planes beyond. Hive respect such knowledge.
 
''Hiraks retreats to the physical plane.''
 
*'''Variks:''' The Mindbender flaunts his knowledge of planar travel. Pursue him back to Fikrul's lair.
 
''Following Hiraks's trail, the Guardian eventually forces him to return to the Revenant Plane where they slay the Baron once more. Subsequently, Fikrul travels to the Revenant Plane and resurrects Hiraks.''
 
*'''Fikrul:''' Even the Sword-worshippers serve me! Witness the power of Fikrul, Lifebringer!
 
''As Fikrul teleports away, the Guardian returns to the physical realm and arrive to the staircase in search of the Appthecary known as [[Ixis]].''
 
*'''Eramis:''' It's well and good to putter about this grand hovel. But without the Apothecary it does us no good.
 
*'''The Crow:''' I hear you. She's valuable, so I'm willing to bet Fikrul is helping her near the Throne Room.
 
''The Guardian rattles the bars of Ixix's cell.''
 
*'''Eramis:''' It's the Apothecary! You've done it, Machine Spawn!
 
*'''Ixis, Apothecary''' [chatters an introduction]
 
*'''Variks:''' Her name is Ixis. She is of Old Riis. Perhaps older than Variks, even.
 
*'''Ixix, Apothecary:''' [chatters dismissively]
 
*'''Eramis:''' She's grateful for your help but… does not count any Human as an ally.
 
*'''Ixis, Apothecary:'''[chitters in suspicion]
 
*'''Eramis:''' [laughs] She understands all you say but refuses to speak in your tongue. We are kindred spirits. Do not fear. Eido and I will win her to our cause.
 
''Araskes, the Trickster returns.''
 
*'''Eramis:''' Araskes returns! She exhibits more courage now than she ever did as an Eliksni.
 
*'''Variks:''' Her faith in Fikrul makes her bold.
 
''Travelling up the flight of stairs, the Guardian defeats Araskes and enters the Throne Room where they confront Fikrul, the Fanatic.''
 
*'''Fikrul, the Fanatic:''' Why does the dead thing return? To worship? To learn? No! It was ordered to kill, so it kills.
 
''The Guardian defeats hordes of Scorn units.''
 
:::'''Fikrul prepares an attack!'''
 
''Crossing the threshold into the Revenant Plane, the Guardian retrieves the energy they require and return to the physical realm.''
 
:::'''Fikrul disdains you. He summons a lacky in his place.'''
 
''Employing the power of his Echo, Fikrul brings forth the [[Screeb Matriarch]] and teleports away shortly after.''
 
*'''Fikrul, the Fanatic:''' [laughs] Every day the Scorn army grows. Their bodies shaped by my hands. We are beyond death! Fear nothing my children! For your father is Kell of Kells!
 
''The Guardian defeats the Screeb Matriach.''
 
*'''The Crow:''' This is a big deal, Guardian. The Apothecary was our last missing piece. Hopefully, she'll put Eido's tonic over the top. Next time we come back here, it'll be to finish the job.
