- Vespers cleansed (3)

Description
My heart is filled with dread. If it truly is Lysonia who leads them now...
No. What is important is that we restore the great vespers. So long as their mighty voices are corrupted, all who hear them will suffer as this temple does. It is only a matter of time before all of Bastion succumbs.
They will no doubt try to stop you. I will hold their leader's attention as long as I can.
If I do not survive... my disciple will see you safely from this place. Go in service.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 23 63 40
- 6,800 XP
Completion
Our fight is not yet over, <name>.
Notes
On accept:
- Eridia says: Stand aside! I would have words with your leader.
- Forsworn Herald says: We will allow you to pass unharmed. For now.
- Disciple Kosmas says: Kleia! Take the others to safety. Go!
Follow Eridia up to Purity's Pinnacle, where she faces down Lysonia:
- Eridia says: I would know you anywhere, Hand of Loyalty.
- Lysonia says: We have taken your temple. Your Paragon will soon meet her end.
- Lysonia says: Join me, and we may fly together once more.
- Eridia says: Never.
- Lysonia says: So be it. The Forsworn will prevail.
- Disciple Kosmas says: <Name>, to me.
Dismount, then speak with Kosmas:
- We need to act swiftly, if we are to intervene.
- Are you ready to fly?
I am ready.
- Disciple Kosmas says: I have an idea. Hold on, <name>.
- Disciple Kosmas says: We are outnumbered. The vespers' corrupted voices empower them.
- Disciple Kosmas says: I cannot fight them all, but perhaps we can restore the vespers while they are preoccupied.
Kosmas grabs the player and flies to the vespers floating high above.
- Lysonia says: I do not wish to kill you, my Soulbind, but I will if I must.
- Eridia says: Why are you doing this?
- Lysonia says: You know why. You need only accept the truth that lies before you.
- Disciple Kosmas says: I will keep the Forsworn at bay. Use my hammer to purify the bells! Let their mighty voices ring true once more!
Use the vehicle ability Hurl Kyrian Hammer on the southeast vesper:
- Eridia says: What truth could possibly justify this slaughter?
- Lysonia says: We all suffered a thousand little deaths at the hands of your temple, Eridia.
- Eridia says: The process of purification is not meant to be easy. But we are better for it. You were better for it.
Use the ability again on the northwest vesper:
- Disciple Kosmas says: Only one left. Stay focused.
- Lysonia says: And yet I cannot remember my past life. My family!
- Eridia says: We must forget in order to ferry souls without judgment. You know this!
- Lysonia says: The path is broken, yet you follow it blindly. I will force your eyes open!
Use the ability on the central vesper:
- Vesiphone says: You can yet be saved, Lysonia. Let this end.
- Lysonia says: We are not finished!
- Versiphone channels a spell into Lysonia, then the two disappear.
- Disciple Kosmas says: Hold on.
- Lysonia says: Try to save her all you like. She has seen the truth!
- Kosmas lands atop Purity's Pinnacle.
