| The Assassination * |
|
This quest begins with a disgruntled guard in Daventry, just outside of Lord KWK's keep. He is quite upset that he has been fired and is conniving a plan with which he will need your help. The Guard beckons you over
Hey you, stranger! How about helping a poor unemployed guard? I used to be one of Lord KWK's royal guardians, that crabby old fool. He fired me! Do you believe it? Such a fool he is! I am plotting to destroy him and I could use your help. I promise you, you will be well rewarded if you accept. I have an undercover guard in the keep already waiting for the signal. I would do it myself but the journey is long and weary. I don't believe my old horse could make it and I have no means to get another. Find the forgotten prisoner, he was captured by the trolls and when the lords took over the dungeon he has been forgotten there and left to die. You must find him before he does, for he is the only one who has the recipe for Vile Poison. It kills instantly so their will be no witness to Lord KWK's death and no time for him to cry for help. Hehe! The poor old bastard! Make haste! There is no time to be looking in the wrong dungeon. The prisoner has this recipe memorized. You must get him to write it out for you before it is lost forever in his death. The guard wants to assassinate Lord KWK. Will you help him? You see Clye in his cell, his ribs show through his thin skin.
No, no it's too late for me. Leave me be and let me die! Oh, you want the recipe for Vile Poison eh? Hehe. I used this poison only once, look where it got me! No matter, I'll gladly give you the recipe. I don't care what it's for, by the time it would ever be traced back to me I will surely be dead. I have some old paper here but it seems I don't have a pen that works. Do you by chance have a pen? You can't very well expect me to write without a pen! Hurry! I am faint and weak. Bring me a pen with which I can scribe you a recipe and the list of ingredients you will need. Get a pen for Clye with which he can scribe you a recipe. Clye looks weak and ill.
This is perfect. Thank you stranger. I believe you may have made it just in time. Clye writes out a list of ingredients, the recipe and a short note. Along with the recipe I made you a neatly written list of ingredients. I also wrote a short note to a great friend of mine. Take the note to her! She can help you with the pristine bottle you will need. Her name is Misty, or so I call her because she lives in the mists of the greatest water in Britannia. Be careful of beasts on the way! Do not fall before you can rush my note to my beloved Misty. Give her my note and she will help you. Clye lets out a long sigh and his eyes darken as his frail hand passes you his last written words. Find Clye's great friend Misty by the greatest waters in Britannia. Once you do find Misty she will be happy to help you if she knows you. She doesn't talk to strangers. Maybe she will talk to you if you give her something from someone she does know. Misty reads the note and her eyes begin to water.
Oh, my poor Clye. We were lovers once you know. I have wondered what has happened to my darling Clye. I am so thankful to you that I was able to hear once more from my sweet darling Clye. I will be glad to give you one of my specially washed pristine bottles! Unfortunately, I have run out of bottles. If you bring me an empty bottle I will surely wash it with the natural waters of the great waterfall for you. Bring to me an empty bottle and I shall make it pristine! I'll be waiting here for you to come back. Get a bottle for Misty so she can make it pristine. Misty is still mourning the death of her dear lover. She wipes her eyes and tries to straighten herself up as you approach.
This bottle will do nicely. Just give me a moment to wash it up for you. Misty carefully wipes down the bottle with a soft piece of cloth and magical water from the Great Waterfall Here you are dear friend. Thank you for bringing me word of my love, although it was most saddening I can rest easily now knowing he suffers no longer. You decide to ask Misty about the daemon breath. Daemon breath you say? I don't know. I never mess with the likes of daemons you know but... I might guess that my old friend Darien may know. He used to be a bright spirit, he has gone to begin his studies in dark magic now. I have wonder of where he may be. Where would one begin a career in such evil? Perhaps you could find him where he practices dark magic. I don't approve of his choice. If you find him, give him this. Misty reaches around her neck and unclasps her necklace. She hands to you a golden necklace with what looks like a religious symbol of some sort hanging from it. Perhaps this will anger him, I just know he needs protection. Find Darien the dark mage where he studies dark magic. Darien takes the necklace from you and holds it tight.
This must be from Misty, eh? She was always my soft spot. That girl will never give up on trying to get me to reform my ways. She wants me to return to what she calls, my brighter days. I call them my days of ignorance. I have found much interest and reward in the dark practices, but enough about me. Thank you for delivering this trinket, I think of Misty often but she will never persuade me to go back. Darien turns away from you as if to leave. You quickly stop him, he is supposed to know about the daemon breath. Daemon Breath is an easy task for me. I suppose I could provide you with some. Only because you are a friend of Misty, not because I want to or anything. Get me a daemons lung of which I can capture it's breath, any regular daemon will do. As you slay these beasts, remember, not all will have a lung suitable for the task, you may have to slay many to get a lung fresh with breath, you will know one when you see it. I should hope you didn't expect me to be carrying a lung in my pocket. Slay daemons until you find a suitable daemon lung to return to Darien. Darien carefully squeezes the lung and captures the daemon breath into a small vial. You never noticed the disgusting color while the daemon was breathing in your face.
I do believe this is the freshest lung I have ever encountered in my days of practice. Nice work! You didn't get that from me! Remember, I help no one! I am a mage of darkness. Well, I suppose you are looking for an eternal flame too? Hehe. Don't be surprised. I practice the side of darkness. I know only two uses for daemon breath and I assume you are not going to use it as cologne. In my beginning practices of magery I once summoned an elemental of fire using the eternal flame, he was made of the eternal flame, he was too strong and became uncontrollable. The elemental escaped me. As far as I know he resides in the dungeon in which I left him. Believe me when I tell you of this elemental. He is an elemental of wisdom and strength beyond any other. He will not be slain nor will he be controlled. I may be a mage of evil but I am not a man of deceit. Darien would not deceive you! Find the immortal fire elemental. You stand back from the searing heat as you speak to the elemental.
Ha! Darien must have sent you! He was so upset that he couldn't control me. Don't you think that you can! You shyly ask Blaze about the eternal flame. Eternal Flame! Eternal Flame! Doesn't anyone ask howdy do anymore? I'll tell you about the eternal flame. I was made from the eternal flame, when Darien summoned me away from my homeland. I am the last source of the eternal flame. It takes more than I to give you a piece of the eternal flame. I will need you to travel to my fiery homeland and in a chest there you will find my ancestors Burning Essence. Bring it to me and I will light you an eternal flame from my fiery flesh. The chest is within my homeland guarded by firey beasts. To find it you might find yourself walking a tightrope. Find the Burning Essence of Blaze's ancestors within his firey homeland. So! You have survived! My ancestors must be getting weak! I didn't expect to ever see you again.
You hand the burning essence to blaze and he lights it with his flaming hand. There you are! One eternal flame! Isn't it cute? I feel like a new father. Take good care of my child Sparky there, hehe. You explain you are on a quest, but do not reveal the intention. You show Blaze the list in hopes he can help you with your other gatherings. A quest you say? Hmmm...Let me see. You need a scalded pot, a dark heart, and dragonshade. The scalded pot is for brewing evil. The sightless sisters hold the pot deep within the stink of death. As for the rest... Well, I know of an old warrior. He came here once, I believe on a quest such as yours. He is an experienced adventurer and I am sure he could help you. If I remember right, he said he was off to retire himself to an Inn. He said he loved to fish and thought bridges were beautiful structures, so there he will spend his remaining days. Get the scalded pot from the sightless sisters and find the retired warrior. The old warrior looks up at you.
No more do I quest. I am far in my years and haven't the strength to fight these beasts any longer. I have retired here to this Inn where I can see the beauty of the bridges and fish out on my front lawn. Hehe! Yep, I have traded my sword and shield for a rod and a reel! Good fishing in these waters you know! I am an honorary veteran now! Named so by Lord KWK himself! Good man he is! Just look at the sash he gave me, hehe. You interrupt Thane to tell him Blaze has sent you and you show him the list of ingredients Blaze is still around eh? I suppose, after all he is eternal. Hehe! Never had I met a friendly beast as he. Blaze was right to send you here, I am one of Britannia's oldest and most experienced warriors. I have seen much in these lands and I can surely help you with the items you require. The Obsidian Wyrm has the darkest of hearts. His heart is that of coal. Slay this beast for the dark heart you require and return to me. I will make certain that you have the true dark heart. The Obsidian Wyrm lives deep within the fourth level on an island of six. Fight him with vigor and nobility or you will forever hang your head in shame. Kill the Obsidian Wyrm for his dark heart and return it to Thane. Thane examines the heart and hands it back to you.
Not getting much darker than that eh? This is definitely the darkest of hearts. Let's see what else it is you need on that list of yours. You show him the list again and he hands you a jar. Take this, you can collect the dragons eye and pure nightshade in here. Both are such messy specimens. I'm sorry, I forget myself. Not everyone is such the experienced warrior as I. Those are the things you will need. Bring them to me and I will produce for you the strongest of dragonshade. The separated twins will be your source of these items. There are two lairs in which these dragons abide. One will bring you a bright eye of a dragon, the other will bring you the purest of nightshade. Find the two dragon lairs and slaughter them for their treasures. It may take more than one of these dragons to find the perfect items you require. You will be destined to find one of these lairs deep within the dragon place. The other lair is kept in terror where the eight legged royalty fight those that slither. The dragons may be twins but their strength is no match! Find the two dragon lairs and slay the beasts for the items you seek. You give the full jar to Thane.
You are truly on your way to becoming a great warrior! Thane mixes you a fresh batch of dragonshade There you are, where might you be off to now? With a list like that it looks as though you will be needing an alchemist. Hehe I can refer you to one if you like. I have met many people in my travels but never one quite as remarkable as the alchemist I had met once in the city named for magic. I have a bowl of his, he left it in the inn where I stayed. I thought maybe one day I might see him again in my travels but alas, I have not. Maybe you could take it. If you see him, he may be looking for it. Well, anyhow an old coot like me could tell you my stories for days. I'll leave you be. Good luck on your quest! I only believe you to be questing for honorable intentions. Find the alchemist in the city named for magic. The alchemist looks thoughtfully at the bowl.
Ah, my lost pestle! Where ever did you find it? Thank you so much. It has been years. Is there something I can help you with? You ask the alchemist if he could mix the recipe you have I don't think anyone should be mixing a recipe like that! That recipe has no good intention behind it! The alchemist turns away from you and with a thoughtful look he quickly turns back to you. Now that I think about it. It seems you and I are one in the same. You are obviously out for revenge as am I. I will mix that recipe for you and make your vile poison but I need you to do for me the same. I ask no questions of your potion as you ask no questions of me. I once had a partner and he has since gone astray. Astray with MY Aged Mortar and Pestle. Which, by the way, I will need in order to mix your potion anyhow. Last I heard of him he has hidden himself away in the cellar of a house guarded by daemons. It will be amazing if you can find him! I shall warn you, he holds the aged mortar and pestle which gives him powers he does not understand So we have a deal? You kill my enemy and I will help kill yours, hehe. No questions asked on either end. Now flee! You will be amazed where you might find this enemy alchemist! Slay him for the aged mortar and pestle Once you have the Aged Mortar and Pestle (and all of the ingredients) you can double-click the recipe to make a complete recipe. Give the complete recipe to the alchemist so he can mix you a bottle of vile poison. The alchemist is awed by your return
You did it! I am so excited yet I must keep myself calm. Let me mix this up for you right away! The alchemist mixes the ingredients with his aged mortar and pestle and hands the glowing bottle to you Thank you for the return of my tools. I do not care to know, therefor I will not ask what your plans are for this fatal brew. Each of us has completed our bargain, begone now. I have never seen your face nor have you seen mine. The bottle glows green in your pack. Hurry back to the guard before dinner! Once you give the vile poison to the dining room guard you will be able to choose your reward. This quest can be done over and over but you will only have a choice reward the first time the quest is completed. Choose wisely because these rewards are only available once per account. If you choose to do the quest again you will receive 100,000 gold from the guard instead. *Hint* This quest sends you to Malas and Felucca facets only. It is meant to be a long quest. All the items you need to retrieve from various monsters are a random drop. Do not expect them to drop on your first kill. At the end of the quest, the rewards can be chosen by name only, we suggest you check out the rewards for this quest here. You can see the items and what they are about. Good Luck and Safe Travels! |
