My comments keep getting set to the wrong replies. Sorry.
I've never played SoulCaster 1. So I'm completely guessing here, someone else should be able to help us better. But I'm guessing they ended up back where the first game started, while the evil caster is attacking. The spirits knew they were leaving their land unguarded and open for attack, but they would've fallen on their own if they stayed. The only chance they had was to save a wizard's (the player's) life so that he would be indebted and help them take a stand against the evil attacking.
