That night, he used the same magic trick to knock out a castle guard and sneak into the chamber where [[Rhapthorne]]'s [[Godbird sceptre|Sceptre]] was sealed. It was then that Dhoulmagus unleashed its power, encasing the castle and its inhabitants in thorny vines and turned [[Trode]] and [[Medea]] into a troll and a horse respectively. With his newfound power, Dhoulmagus returned to visit his master Rylus in [[Farebury]]. Rylus was just about to complete an elixir which would unlock Dhoulmagus's latent magical abilities. Rylus was aghast at what his apprentice had done, but it was too late for him as Dhoulmagus decided to take revenge and kill him with the scepter. Afterwards, Dhoulmagus set Rylus's house ablaze and set off to find the other sages. | That night, he used the same magic trick to knock out a castle guard and sneak into the chamber where [[Rhapthorne]]'s [[Godbird sceptre|Sceptre]] was sealed.

His next victim is Alistair, who he murders by leaving the door to the [[Tower of Alexandra]] open, causing the swordsman to investigate and confronts him, though Dhoulmagus freezes him in place and kills him, though not before assuring that his death would not be vain. He laughs while another seal on Rhapthorne is broken, though this earns him and the Lord of Darkness another enemy in Jessica. Next, he goes to [[Maella Abbey]] to murder Abbot Fransisco, cursing [[Khalamari]] to slow down his pursuers, though they manage to triumph over the giant squid terrorizing the waters from Port Alexandria to Maella. He is about to murder the Abbot when the Hero and the party manage to catch him in the act, causing him to disappear and [[Marcello]] to frame the party for attempted murder. Later, Dhoulmagus overpowers the Templars and tries again to murder Abbot Fransisco, stunning Marcello in the process. When Trode confronts him, he smugly mocks the king as "King Toad" and slows down time to finish the job of killing the Abbot, who assures Marcello and those present that faith and the Goddess are on his side. When Abbot Fransisco is murdered, however, Dhoulmagus retorts that faith and the Goddess are on his side now, with the 3rd seal on the specter broken while Rhapthorne's voice is heard with Dhoulmagus's. Dhoulmagus takes his leave, where he murders Golding, the owner of the casino in Baccarat, though the 4th descendant of the Seven Sages putting up a good fight before his death causes him to retreat to the Dark Ruins, where he places a barrier that can only be broken with the Magic Mirror. After the party obtains the Magic Mirror and dispels the barrier, they find Dhoulmagus in a gel-like cocoon where his body is healing until it can be ready to use Rhapthorne's power properly. He praises the Hero and his party for coming this far and their admirable loyalty to Trode, before saying that they can't break the curse on him but should fulfill their own destiny to die at his hand. He is defeated and once again praises the party for their strength, saying he could've beat them in a heartbeat had he not been healing, but decides to bring it to an end, conjuring some thorns to entrap the party, though the Hero's [[Dragovian|immunity to curses]] protects against them. Undettered, Dhoulmagus enlarges the thorns causing the party to be buried in them, though they wither away due to the Hero's immunity. Having no choice, Dhoulmagus uses the specter to transform himself into a demonic harpy like creature with wings and vows to crush them so he could not be pestered again. Despite his formidable power, he is defeated and turns to stone before turning to dust, leaving only the specter behind. However, Dhoulmagus's death does not lift the curse on Trode and Medea, forcing the party to rest up at Argonia and then continue their quest where Jessica, having picked up the specter, is possessed by Rhapthorne to finish what Dhoulmagus started. | |||
