Speak with the Scoundrel

	Sasha Here's the relic, my love. I hid it like you asked. Father's grown suspicious of us, but that won't matter once we're married. It won't be long, right?
	Scoundrel Of course, my dear! Soon we will settle down to a quit life of tilling the fields and raising brats... uh... children. But first I have to sell this relic! Alas, I must travel away with my friend here to do so.

Talk to Alaric

	Leah You must be Alaric the guardian...Uncle Deckard told me of your eternal watch over this cursed place. I thought it was a myth!
	Alaric Are you nephalem?
	Leah No, there have been no nephalem for a millennium.
	Alaric Hah! Yet another myth. You seek entrance to this temple, but only a nephalem can enter. If you retrieve the keys from the outlying tombs and use them on the gates, we will see who... and what... you truly are.
