  1. Step 1: You need to find out what happened to my family, where to look for them.
  2. Step 2: Anca taught me something – I now know a spell that can make the dead talk. I find it hard to believe... But let's try.
  3. Step 3: The dead soldier spoke – but briefly, haltingly. Anca says I need to find objects the deceased man either owned or was looking at as he passed.
  4. Step 4: Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there's someone there – hiding?
  5. Step 5: My family has been captured – and time is running out. I need to act. First obstacle – the rubble blocking my way out of Laslea's ruins.
  6. Step 6: No sign of my family. What I am supposed to do now? I'd better consult with Anca.
  7. Step 7: Laslea is sacked, but my house is still standing. Maybe there's someone there – hiding?
  8. Step 8: I won't find anything more in Laslea – I need to get out of here.
  9. Step 9: Anca said that those items of importance might make the corpse talk a bit more. Time to see for myself if that's true.
