Reign of the Black King | Diablo III
Necromancer: I have retrieved the crown.
Deckard Cain: At last. With it, you can unlock the sealed door in the room where you rescued me and enter the royal crypts. When you find the Skeleton King, place the crown atop his head... and destroy him.
Necromancer: There is no other way to reach the fallen star, it seems.

Templar #2: Why have you come here, brother?
Templar: One of our number has forsaken his vows and joined the demonic coven that infests this fallen cathedral. The cultists dragged me past this glowing pit. What made it? Down this way! There are my weapons!
Templar: I am Kormac, warrior of the templar order. If it is the Skeleton King you seek, then you will have to fight your way past Jondar. There is no reason we should hunt alone.
Necromancer: If you insist.
Templar: Evil cowers at the sight of just one templar. Two will bring it to its knees.

Templar: You were a templar, Jondar! How could you succumb to this coven?

Jondar: Please forgive me. My vision was clouded by the Coven's evil magic.
Templar: Betrayal can never be forgiven.

Templar: Thank you for your aid. I will go with you on your hunt for the Skeleton King, but there is one condition. If we find the sacred tomes of my order, they are mine.
