"Gooooood. Plan. Think. Bide your time. Old friends have not been forgotten.
And old enemies?
Will never be forgiven."
—Shadya and Thralsai
The Spy is the first scenario in Ylaya's Quest campaign in the Hammers of Fate expansion.
Walkthrough[]
Raelag's disappearance made the clans disorganized again. A shadow witch named Ylaya prays to Malassa and her daughter, Malsara, appears before her. Malsara gives her guidance - she needs to learn of the Soulscar Clan.
Ylaya has to learn of the Soulscar Clan's plans. There is supposed to be a meeting, one she will have to witness herself. There are some Dark Elves tainted by a ritual, unknown to her. Killing them will reveal where the meeting is supposed to be. She cannot pass through some troops, as the guards will capture her (those troops are actually troops she cannot defeat as there are too many of them).
After learning the secret place, she will have to defeat the guards and go to hide. She sees Thralsai and Raelag's (former) companion, Shadya. She overhears that they plan to make new rituals, to restore Soulscar Clan's former glory. Ylaya leaves, but Thralsai and Shadya heard there was a spy and send guard to chase her.
Events[]
Ylaya learns Thralsai wants to restore Soulscar Clan.
Strategy[]
Ylaya needs to lose as few troops as possible. There are some dwellings she can recruit troops from, but they aren't numerous. Spells should prevail over troops this time.
Completing the side objective to kill all the creatures revealed by Hut of the Magi is very rewarding.
Ylaya will recieve a permanent increase of +12 Attack and +5 Defense when completing this side objective.
Notes[]
A part of the cutscene from Negotiations is used.
