《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 78 - To The Grave (Diablo III)
Advertisement
It turns out both of them are fighting over a skeletal leg which is the very same semi-legendary item that drops from the corpse of Bishibosh in the Den of the Fallen. When searching the corpse, Valla finds the leg and wants to modify it into a weapon but Kharazim is against it as it is a human leg and it should lay buried with its owner. A few rounds of arguing with different views and a fight broke out between them.
Shang’s thoughts: Oh, man…
Shang thinks as he does a facepalm after hearing their explanations. In the end, Wirt’s Original Leg and the remains of Bishibosh are kept with Shang so that they have nothing to fight about.
While moving towards the second entrance, Eucliwood detects something strange from a location and stops the group.
The group moves to the location where Eucliwood have detected and finds a bundle that is wrapped heavily with cloth.
Shang: So this must be what Haedrig’s apprentice has dropped.
Shang says as he unwraps the bundle.
Shang: This is…
The group returns to the surface after that.
With Shang’s guidance, the group reaches the Cemetery of the Forsaken and finishes the mission they are supposed to completed. Upon returning, Shang does the activation for the Waypoint and the group returns to New Tristram.
During evening in New Tristram…
Haedrig is drinking together with Shang in The Slaughters Country Inn where no one is currently around and Bron is taking a break in the kitchen.
Haedrig: I am not sure whether I should thank or hate you.
Haedrig says as he takes a sip from his mug.
Shang: Both sounds like praise to me.
Haedrig:....
Shang: Do you hate your grandfather that much?
Shang had managed to convince the astral guardian of Leoric’s crown Chancellor Eamon to come along with them, giving him a sword which known as The Grandfather to be his vessel. Haedrig was not happy when he heard from Cain that his dead grandfather is back home and Shang had to take him out for a drink.

Haedrig: if it wasn’t for him, my father wouldn’t have died and I wouldn’t be here!
Haedrig slams his mug on the table.
There were rumors in Caldeum that Chancellor Eamon is the one behind the madness of King Leoric. These rumors caused the refugees from Tristram to storm Eamon Manor and kill the people who are living in there. Haedrig is the only one who survived.
Shang: But If it wasn’t for him, you would not have meet Mira, right?
Haedrig:...
Haedrig is silent as he knows Shang was right. If it wasn’t for the massacre in Eamon Manor, He wouldn’t have met his future wife in the outskirts of Kurast and traveled the world with her.
Shang’s thoughts: The massacre of Eamon Manor was not really your grandfather’s fault. It is actually the part of Belial’s plan to cripple the nation and your father happen to be on his blacklist.
Shang thinks as he continues to drink with Haedrig.
While Shang is chatting with Haedrig, there is a conversation scene inside Cain’s house.
????: Because of my selfishness, I lost my family.
The head of the ghastly figure speaks while floating above a sword which is placed on the table in front of Deckard.
Cain: What’s done is done, old friend. There is nothing you can do about it.
Cain says while sitting on his chair.
Cain: If you had not locked yourself in your tomb with the crown, we would not have a way to end King Leoric once and for all.
Eamon: And rewarded with the hatred of my grandson… Now I am not sure whether it was worth doing it.
Cain: At least you got a Vecin Mystic as your granddaughter-in-law.
Vecin mystics are blessed with the Sight which give them magical visions.
Eamon: So what if she has the Sight… she can’t even use it to save herself when she was being infected. If your successor wasn’t around, Haedrig probably had to kill her himself.

Cain: But things have not come to worst.
Eamon: Yes, They have not. That reminds me about your new ward. She seems to be at the age of marriage. Have you pick anyone for her?
Eamon says as he notices a presence near one of the house’s window and looks at that direction.
Cain: Not yet. I don’t see anyone suitable for her.
Cain looks at the direction where Eamon is looking.
Eamon: How about your successor?
Cain: Shang? I might consider it if he passed my tests with flying colors.
The presence disappears after hearing Cain's answer.
Eamon looks back at the Cain.
Cain: She is gone?
Eamon: Yes, she is.
Cain: It seems Leah knows I am hiding things from her. I wonder how long I can keep them?
Eamon: To the grave, old friend?
Cain: Probably, to the grave.

Reality Grants One Chance
Some people are lucky, some aren't, some - have terrible luck. Our "hero" is of the latter kind. During young age he got into an accident, which allowed him to learn the fact that he belongs to a rare group of people.. People diagnosed with lung cancer, which he, however survived. Can't say he's lucky, as his life went downhill from that point... Our story happens years later, when his fate decides to make a loop and throw him in the same kind of accident. He gets hit by a truck. Surviving the crash, suffering just a few scratches, he is ultimately "lucky" to find himself out of the hospital in no time.. however every bit of good luck always brings him terrible luck afterwards. This time pushing him maybe a bit too far.. How far? Making him vanish without a trace and find himself in the middle of an unknown forrest. Doesn't sound bad? He can consider himself lucky? Just wait and see...It can always get worse.. always.. .... Congratulations, you've made it through the intro and into the author note! If you by any chance missed the tags and didn't read the warning, please do that now. I really recommend you to. Before you jump to reading, and unintentionally scar yourself, do mind that the story is about a dark, unforgiving world, a world in which you have more opportunities to die a horrible death, than take a piss. Hero doesn't have great luck, he has dumb persistance, he doesn't go through any trial with a breeze, he pays the price of blood, flesh and tears to live..and will be paying for every mistake.. No one outright explains anything to him, just as us for the most part - he is not sure what the hell is going on.. Some real survival tactics are used as a base of the descriptions, they are as important to the world and character as any other element.. Mind that the story starts really slow, but as the stone starts rolling downhill - the pace gets faster.. Every tag for this novel has a reason to be there, so if you don't see the particular element there, don't panic.. it's either well camoufalged, subtle or simply not encountered as of yet. Big thanks to Hobbo, Enyhrye and Hveth! ...not only pointing that the description could be better, but providing invaluable input.. and being patient enough to give fleshed out advice.
