Boss
Could this really be the grave of the infamous Elara the Vile? You've heard the stories of how she burned down entire cities. The guards claim to have heard a strange laughter from the inside the coffin. Probably best to keep a safe distance tonight.
Boss
You can see it approaching on the horizon, an iron castle on wheels. It can only mean one thing. The corrupt king has finally found you.
Boss
