Picking up quest

Magnus: "Stone is might. Stone is power. Stone is eternal. We are the Gargoyles."

You "Magnus? Buddy? You're not a gargoyle."

Magnus: "Stone is might. Stone is power. Stone is eternal. We are the Gargoyles. Oh, no! I was doing it again, wasn't I? I can't stop. It's terrible what those Ministers of have done!"

You "Which is what exactly?"

Magnus: "They've composed a new National Anthem, one that has a powerfully hypnotic melody to it."

You "Stone is might. Stone is power. Stone is eternal. We are the gargoyles. Ardent City will be crushed. Lord Pyrrus is my one true master. Stone is might. Stone--"

Magnus: "Oh, no, it's already infected you! , snap out of it! Snap out of it before you kill your own friends!"

You "? Who's ? Wait, I'm . Magnus, what's happening to me?"

Magnus: "You're carrying a cursed tune in your head. It will rot your mind and strip you of your free will. You will become a drone of Pyrrus, as will we all unless the Ministers of Culture are stopped. We must silence their evil music, and defeat Amiens and Basilica once and for all! Will you help us, ?"

You "Of course! What must I do first? Stone is might. Stone is power. Stone is eternal."

Magnus: "First you've got to get that evil tune out of your head! Go see the Benefactress. She's been working on a remedy."

You "Okay. Bye, Magnus!"

Magnus: "Elder speed, !"

Turning in quest Magnus: "Have you cured the sinister anthem, ?"

You: "I have, thanks to the Benefactress!"

Magnus: "Congratulations! Phase one is now complete! But now it's time to crush the Ministers' evil tune from existence, once and for all. We must locate the original song and remove the curse from it, ."
