The Traitor Location: The Sandsea (Books 1 and 2) -> Sek-Duat XV -> Quests -> The Traitor Level/Quest/Items required: Completion of The Sandwitch Release Date: March 7th, 2008 Objective: Sek Duat XV has sent you to meet with a member of the rebellion who has decided to turn traitor. You have to stop the turncoat if you can. Objective completed: Kasuf vanishes into the desert, looking defeated and full of regret. That was a close call, but the rebellion is safe, thanks to you. Why did Sek-Duat send you instead of Zhoom? What does he have up his sleeve? Scaled Yes/No: Yes Monsters (7) Sandstorm (1) Anubis Knight - Boss NPCs Kasuf Rewards None Anubis Burial Mask Dialogue After meeting Kasuf: <Character>: Kasuf?! YOU are the traitor!?! Kasuf: <Character>!?! This is ALL WRONG! I told Sek-Duat I would only meet with ZHOOM! <Character>: What is going on here? Start explaining! If you've sold me out... Kasuf: No! I... I was going to tell Sek-Duat that Zhoom was working for the rebels. You are safe... and so is my daughter. <Character>: Sha'Rae? What are you talking about? Kasuf: I found out what Sek-Duat is doing with the rebels. The spell that he stole from the yaga spellbook calls for a strong magical power source... Kasuf: That power source is the Orb of Light. The spell also calls for 'the life forces of 100 people who call you an enemy'. <Character>: Once Sek-Duat XV has rounded up 100 rebels, he plans on exchanging their lives to resurrect Sek-Duat The First! Kasuf: The rebels will be undead husks, empty bodies... zombie servants. I... I couldn't risk that happening to my daughter. Kasuf: I had to make this deal. I'm sorry. <Character>: So you're going to trade the names and the locations of the other rebels to keep your own daughter safe? <Character>: What about fighting for your people? Sha'Rae knows the risks and she's willing to risk her life for her people to be free! Kasuf: You don't understand what it means to have a child! I HAD NO CHOICE. <Character>: You ALWAYS have a choice! You know Sek-Duat XV, and you know that he will hunt down your daughter, no matter what. <Character>: You're a fool if you think this deal will save her. You nearly doomed the entire rebellion. Kasuf: You're right. Of course, you're right! I knew he couldn't be trusted. That's why I lied and told him that Zhoom was secretly working with the rebels. Kasuf: I thought that if I could make Sek-Duat get rid of Zhoom then the others might stand a chance. Only... <Character>: What? What is it? Kasuf: ... Zhoom is VERY strong. I couldn't be sure Sek-Duat would be able to finish him so I set a trap. Kasuf: This temple is protected by an ancient evil called the Anubis Knight, and we're standing in the middle of his home. Kasuf: I was trying to lure Zhoom to his doom before I turned myself in... but I got you instead. <Character>: WHAT? You decided to wait until NOW to tell me this? Kasuf: Well, I was kinda surprised to see you, and I wanted to explain before you... It... slipped my mind. <Character>: GREAT, now I'm doomed. Thanks. You're a lot of fun to hang out with. Has anyone ever told you that? <Character>: Maybe we can sneak out of here before... The Anubis Knight appears behind Kasuf... <Character>: ... before that happens. Kasuf: It's right behind me, isn't it? <Character>: Yep. You know, I should just throw you at him as a distraction. Kasuf: But you WON'T... right? <Character>: ... Kasuf: RIGHT?! After defeating the Anubis Knight: Kasuf: Thank you for saving my life again <Character>. <Character>: I should start charging for this. Maybe Zhoom has the right idea. Kasuf: What are you going to to about me? <Character>: I can't risk handing you over to Sek-Duat XV. If you were willing to rat your own people out, you would easily turn on me. <Character>: You're good at hiding, so go hide... And this time, STAY hidden. Once this is all over, Sha'Rae will have a lot of questions for you. Kasuf: Please, she doesn't have to know. <Character>: ... That her father is a traitor and a fool? I think she does. You made a mistake, and now you will have to live with it. <Character>: Just be grateful that things turned out this way. They could have been far worse. Now get out of here and make sure that I do not see you again. Complete Quest!
