The Keeper asks for its return, and offers the assistance of his bird, Roquelaire. He then swats away a mysterious tentacle that emerges from a pouch he carries. Sithil accepts the task, to the surprise of Quirt, and the Keeper releases Roquelaire to guide them, who makes light at one of the statues on the pole. Once they leave, be that as it may, the Keeper hints at an unmentioned danger involved.

Sithil and Quirt begin on their way, following Roquelaire, as Quirt tries to discuss why they took the task from the Shopkeeper. Quirt mentions trying to kill the Shopkeeper, when Roquelaire says that the Keepers are favorites of the gods. The story continues, and it`s explained that Roshan the Immortal For Roshan as he appears in holiday events, see Roshan (Diretide 2012) and Roshan (Diretide 2013) Roshan Ancient Jungle Creep Level 30 Health 5500 Health regeneration 20 Armor 15 Magic resistance 55% Attack damage 65 dota2 is the only one to have ever killed a Keeper, and had afterward stolen the Aegis of the Immortal For the physical trophy awarded after The International, see Aegis of Champions.   Item   Old Abilities   Changelogs     Aegis of the Immortal The Immortal was said to own a shield that protected dota2 .

Quirt shows further displeasure at Roquelaire, who explains that they`ve arrived at the Tarn of Roshan, the resting place of Demon Edge. Roquelaire returns to the Keeper, while Sithil and Quirt begin to look for the sword. Quirt tells Sithil that he doesn`t believe in the stories, when Sithil discovers the blade of Demon Edge in a stone. He struggles to remove it while Quirt finds the hilt. Sithil removes the blade, and angers the rock, which turns out to be Roshan himself. Roshan attacks Sithil, and Quirt throws a rock to gather his attention. Roquelaire returns to distract Roshan, and the two escape and admire their loot.

In doing so, Quirt asks to see the blade, when Sithil tells him to stay back from it. The two begin to argue, with Sithil arguing that they should morally return the blade to the Keeper, and Quirt arguing that they owe him nothing. Quirt attacks Sithil, who strikes back and accidentally fuses the sword together, knocking the two down. They take on the appearance of Creeps, with Sithil appearing as a Radiant Ranged Creep, and Quirt appearing as a Dire Melee Creep. The two continue fighting, which draws the attention of more Creeps. A melee breaks out and the sword falls in the river. Quirt dives to retrieve it, and returns to his normal form, while Sithil joins in the battle. Quirt, in confusion, is carried away by the river.

Quirt washes ashore at night near the Secret Shop, but chooses to leave and wait until morning to decide what to do. While leaving the shop, he decides to keep the sword for himself and falls asleep. Soon he wakes, surrounded by creatures, who steal the sword and carry him off back to the Secret Shop. They hold him onto a pedestal and climb on top of him one by one, reforming what was previously the flagpole. The previous top statue returns to an organic form, tells Quirt of his fate, and leaves. By sunrise, Quirt turns to stone, and Demon Edge remains next to the flagpole. The Keeper finds Demon Edge and places it in his shop, and gives the order to Roquelaire to open it.

Time passes, and we rejoin Sithil and Quirt, as normal, in a tavern discussing the tale. Sithil explains how he had to scheme to remove Quirt from his prison, while at the same time escaping death and returning to his own appearance. Quirt still shows trauma from the incident. Sithil orders a round of drinks on him, when Quirt tells him to be quiet and not mention that they`re working for the Keeper before swatting away a tentacle that emerges from his pouch.
