I was right, you know. The atrocities committed by the Inquisitors were just the icing on the cake.

I've also come to the conclusion that you and I - we have a lot in common.

Like what exactly?

We are both high achievers, at the top of our respective fields, mine being science, yours being... battle.

In fact, I wonder if you might partner with me to acquire an item of great scientific value?

I would do the footwork?

Exactly, and you would be rewarded. But it requires entering the Shattered Obelisk, so you'll need friends.

There is a Reaper, you'll see his sickles... he once culled creatures to collect their azoth.

That's appalling.

Like so much else here, it offends the modern sensibilities.

But this Reaper would've used some kind of Locus to collect azoth - that's what I need. Bring me the Locus, and we'll both profit.

Before you go marching into the Shattered Obelisk, I'd suggest finding some friends.

Who knows what you'll find there? I just need the Reaper's Locus.

Oh, it's about time. You're such a talent, I frankly expected you to return much sooner.

But don't get me wrong - I'm very grateful. I'll take the Locus, and you can have this.
