I dunno , how much longer is Cutler gonna play . <| sep |> Type s , 8 crates 1 c 1 1 c 2 6 c 3 , purple tunicas , discotheques , certified Lobos for heatwave <| sep |> No , you don ' t need to recruit him . But you do need to save him . Remember that he promises to teach you magic if you are his champion . The way you do it is to agree to be his champion , win the trial by combat , and in the conversation that immediately follows , demand that he teach you magic NOW . You can then deny his request to join you . He ' ll wait just outside the SC camp in Act 1 . You ' ll have a little missive conversation with him after Act 1 and he ' ll turn up in lethian ' s crossing where he ' ll wait all the way through Act 2 , but he ' ll disappear permanently in Act 3 .
