Shaemoor village nestles against the wall of Divinity's Reach. Centaur raids have become increasingly aggressive of late, and the Seraph struggle to protect the haggard villagers. Only the brave or foolhardy would venture out during a centaur assault.

[edit] Walkthrough

As soon as the introduction cutscene ends, talk to Corporal Beirne who will shout to get everybody to the inn. There is no real dialog there.

You can search the village of Shaemoor for villagers, talk to them, and tell them to gather at the inn. This is not a part of your mission, but gives you 2 Karma per villager.

In the inn talk to Sergeant Walters, then make your way east to the garrison. If the garrison gates are closed, stay in the area and defend them from the incoming centaurs until they open. Enter the garrison and fight off the centaurs who have overrun it. At the end of the invasion a Modniir High Sage appears. He is a more powerful enemy who can use elemental spells to hit everyone around him. When he is almost defeated, he will become invulnerable and retreat. Follow him across the bridge, where he'll summon a Greater Earth Elemental, which will be the final boss of this mission.

The hands of the Earth Elemental are your targets. Both hands have their own health bar and both must be destroyed. Keep moving constantly while hitting either of them and you should be able to avoid most of its attacks. The elemental will summon smaller elementals to fight you, too. You can decide to go after them to support your allies or gain more experience, but the Greater Elemental is your target. Once it is defeated, the cutscene triggers automatically and the mission ends.

At Corporal Beirne.

Corporal Beirne: Everybody get to the inn! We can protect you at the inn!

At the Inn.

Seraph Soldier: Sergeant! There are more centaurs on the other side of town. Captain Thackeray's calling for reinforcements at the garrison!
Sergeant Walters: If he's calling for help it must be serious, but I can't spare anyone.
<Player Name>: I'll go. Captain Thackeray's never failed Divinity's Reach. If I can help him, I will.
Sergeant Walters: Balthazar bless you! That's the spirit that'll win this war. Good luck.

At the Shaemoor Garrison.

Seraph Soldier: Here they come.
Seraph Soldier: More centaurs on the bridge!
Logan Thackeray: Maintain the pressure! We've got them off balance.
Seraph Soldier: Don't let up!
Seraph Soldier: Get ready! There's another wave is coming.
Logan Thackeray: They're backing off! Keep pushing!
Modniir High Sage: Enough of this I will deal with you myself.
Logan Thackeray: Take down their leader!
Modniir High Sage: Pitiful humans. You think you can defeat me?
Modniir High Sage: Rise!
Seraph Soldier: By all six gods, what is that thing? It's huge!
Logan Thackeray: That, soldier, is a threat. We're going to take it down. Forward!
Logan Thackeray: For the queen! Charge!
Modniir High Sage: Destroy them!
Logan Thackeray: Take out those giant hands, and the whole thing will come crashing down!
Logan Thackeray: It's not dead yet! Brace yourselves, I think it's going to explode!

Priestess of Dwayna: You were injured when the elemental exploded. Captain Thackeray brought you here personally. You've been unconscious for three days.
Priestess of Dwayna: You had lots of visitors: villagers you rescued, some Seraph, even a noble from the city. He came by several times.
<Player Name>: That'd be Lord Faren. He's a good friend. I'll check in with him once I'm fully recovered. What should I do now?
Priestess of Dwayna: Fresh air and exercise are the best medicine. The goddess Dwayna helped you. Perhaps you could help others?

<Player Name>: That'd be my friend Quinn. You might want to check your supply cabinets. I'll find out what he wanted once I'm fully recovered. What should I do now?
Priestess of Dwayna: Fresh air and exercise are the best medicine. The goddess Dwayna helped you. Perhaps you could help others?
<Player Name>: Thanks, I will. And thanks for taking such good care of me.
