Transcript

 * Deckard Cain: Ah, welcome, friend! Welcome! Ah, I am glad to see you made it here safely. And with the shard of the Worldstone, I hope?


 * Class:
 * Barbarian: Of course. Can we destroy these and be done with it?
 * Necromancer: Indeed. With every step, I felt its power tug at my soul. I am glad to be rid of it.


 * Deckard Cain: Well done, my friend. I am certain it was no easy task to acquire this shard. Sadly, there is no simple answer on how to destroy an object this powerful. For now, it must be kept out of sight.


 * Deckard Cain: Now then, you may recall I spoke of a ritual that revealed the Worldstone shards in Wortham and Ashwold. Well, while you were busy, so was I! And Tal Rasha's ritual has revealed a third stone to me.


 * Deckard Cain: You see, the ritual simply cannot find all the shards across the world. No, it reveals those that are being used in some form. It seems the magic of the Worldstone emanates from the Dark Wood: a place of great and ancient evil.


 * Class: So the shard is already in someone's hands, then?


 * Deckard Cain: Unfortunately, yes. You must expect that the darkness is already moving against you, but you are not alone! In fact, Charsi should be here soon! I can think of no-one better to help you find the strength you will need.

Original Script
In the beta for Diablo Immortal, the quest occurred after the Dark Wood questline was complete, and as such, the script varied significantly. Below is the original script for this quest:


 * Deckard Cain: Ah, welcome, friend! Welcome! Ah, I am glad to see you made it here safely. And with the shards of the Worldstone, I hope?


 * Deckard Cain: Yes, the time has finally come. Let us get to the task at hand.


 * Deckard Cain: Even as small as they are, the shards still radiate a corrupting power...


 * Deckard Cain: There. It should be safe enough to complete the ritual.


 * Deckard Cain: Strange...Tal Rasha's ritual seems to have no effect. It is as if the stones are resisting!


 * Deckard Cain: Oh, I should have guessed this wouldn't be easy! Even the ancient Horadrim worked together when dealing with shards of the Worldstone.


 * Deckard Cain: My friend, I will need to borrow your strength if we are to attempt Tal Rasha's ritual again. Can I count on you?


 * Class: What must I do?


 * Deckard Cain: Stand there, outstretch your arms and focus your mind upon the stones. The rest will be up to me.


 * Class: Cain, are you hurt?


 * Deckard Cain: I'm fine! But that...that was not supposed to happen! The shards have been irrevocably corrupted by Baal's influence. I'm sorry, but...I am truly at a loss.


 * Deckard Cain: ''No, that's not right...There must be an answer somewhere! There always is, but I will need to consult the Horadric texts...and that will take some time.


 * Deckard Cain: Perhaps now would be a good opportunity for you to see the city. I know Charsi was looking forward to showing you around. Return after a while, and hopefully I'll have more encouraging news.


 * Class: Do not lose hope, Cain. I'm sure you will find something.
