Torchlight/Orden Mines

Alric - Remnant from Alric's Journal - I've arrived in Torchlight and begun my exploration of the tunnels below. These mines are vast and aglow with Ember; I've never seen so rich a vein. Miners labor to extract it, and take no heed of my warnings. I cannot blame them; I too could not resist the pull of Ember. This Ember is the same as that which afflicts me. The taint within it resonates with the corruption in my bones. I can feel it so clearly now, blight springs from the depths and flows up through the veins. To purge myself of this evil, I must find the source.

Walkthrough

Find Brink on the 2nd floor.

Brink Did Syl send you after me? She must have thought I was in over my head again. Well she's right, these monsters are getting stronger and I could use your help. I'm going after the fiend that was attacking Syl on the bridge, will you join me?

Accept the quest. He will start following you. Proceed to the 4th floor.

Brink Now I have you! What have you done with Alric?

Alric I am here, Brink. I sent for Syl - but I don't recall inviting you, or your friend. You may still prove useful, however... Be still!

Brink gets changed into Brink the Corrupted. You must now kill him.

Syl Brink, no! What has happened! Alas, my friend...

Syl You say this is Alric's doing? Then his summons was a trap - but why? The corruption here must have overwhelmed his mind, I can't believe it's so powerful. Yes, yes... I see it's touched you as well. Blight is spreading through you, and if we don't find a way to stop it you'll meet the same fate as Brink. I'm sorry I brought you into this, I'll do my best to cure you. Meet me in Tourchlight, and I'll tell you my plan.
