Without Mercy
"Arias read the scroll and discovered mention of a medallion that can somehow repel the power of the Mark of Acheron. He believes Mithrelle, as Thoth-Amon's Minion, may know something of the medallion, but he first needs me to investigate the sorceress's slave camp on the volcano. I must confront one of the slave masters there to find the truth of the matter."

Map - inside the volcano

Talk to to the slavemaster Shenti-Aku

Now it's time to go to the volcano. Follow the road south and you'll get there. There may be some baddies along the way.

Once you're inside, prepare for quite a bit of fighting. The goal is to get to Shenti-Aku. Now in some cases it is possible to sneak and hide all the way to him, but chances are slim of survival as a priest.

Follow the trail the map to the left indicates, and you'll eventually get to Shenti-Aku. If you find yourself

Slaves will attack

dying a lot, don't worry. You won't be suffering any severe death penalties at these levels, aside from having to keep running back. The creatures in this area don't respawn though, so once you kill them, it will be all that much easier to run around in here. If need be, you can break groups of baddies by focussing on one and making sure he dies before you die. Then when you go back, you'll have one less to deal with.

Once you've fought your way up, you'll see Shenti-Aku. Don't run up and hail him right away. Walk up to him and stand beside him for a few seconds. You'll see some non-aggro slaves walk towards you. Once they get close, they'll attack you. It's best to dispatch them before you speak to Shenti-Aku.

When you speak with Shenti-Aku, he'll tell you that he serves Mithrelle, and he'll get a little testy that you've killed his cronies. At this point you can either kill him or let him be, choosing your preference through the dialog options.
