"He's gonna be pissed! So pissed, I just know it! He summoned me here because he knows I took the hero to Hyderot! He'll kill me! I summoned you today for a very specific reason. That is, to talk about Drell's secret room. Uh, secret room? What? Yes. After establishing a school of magic in Solsane, Drell made a point of only recruiting the most promising students into his army. And... There isn't a doubt in my mind that you and the wizard of insects, Maynard Swann, must have gone there at least once to undergo the magic crystal transplant operation. Unfortunately for Bolate, Maynard has been captured by Aisling's forces. But you're still here, aren't you? I want you to divulge anything and everything you remember about that secret room. If you can do that, I will absolve you, and life will go on. So, about that chamber... It's less like a room and more like a massive dining hall inside an even bigger building. And, uh, it was dark and lined with small cells. Moans and strange sounds echoed from them day and night. I was escorted through the chamber and taken down into the depths. Deeper and deeper... To be honest, I can't remember how much of anything looked. Needless to say, there came a point where reality began to fade. I couldn't tell if I was walking or if my eyes were open, which was crazy. I remember feeling something in my mouth, and the agony was unbearable. I was floating above a big hole. A hole? A pit with a spiral staircase around it. As I fell away, my consciousness left me. Those are the only memories I have. Where I entered, how I got there, I can't recall any other details about it. Ah, I see. Most of what you've recounted I've heard before. Everything except that hole you mentioned. I had hoped for something more. Regardless, you're dismissed. All right. What is it? It's just... This may be completely unrelated to the chamber, but I remember something. I'm listening. A vision of myself standing in front of a mirror. Judging by the uniform, it must have been during my time at the Academy. But I don't recall there being a mirror like that at SoulSane. Who are you saying? Wizard Nyasha Fonlitz. Yes, sir! Young steward, I have a mission for you. After all that, I can't believe the mission was to be a teacher. I hate school, and I always have. I just feel like I never fit in. Morning. Please, I just want to go home."
