No one said the life of a mercenary would be easy. And when money is involved, there is no telling whom you will be working for or what their motives may be … unless, of course, all you have to do is open your eyes and look around.

Unfortunately, the lead character (you) in Dungeon Siege II is ignorant of all the signs pointing at either him or her. The fact that you are killing everything in your path en route to a temple (and most of what you are killing are dryads), while being insulted by warped, raspy-voiced monsters who treat you as chattel rather than swords for hire should be one thing that makes you think something is amiss.
