Voodoo Master -> RE: NPCs (10/6/2011 15:55:07)

Artix's entry needs its "The Necropolis" section to be reorganized (I also added the missing in-quest texts): The Necropolis Artix: I am so glad you are here. How can I be of service? Talk Artix: Doomwood has a lot going on inside. Do you want to know anything specific? Who are you? Artix: Please accept my apology. I was so excited to actually meet you in person that I forgot to introduce myself. Artix: My name is Artix von Krieger and I am a Paladin who has decicated his entire life to battling the undead. Artix: You can usually find me battling the supernatural creatures in Doomwood. The highest concentration of undead can be found here! Necropolis Artix: The Necropolis is a giant underground city of the dead. Necromancers and DeathKnights go here to train. We must destroy it! Moonridge Artix: Moonridge is a nice town on the eastern edge of DoomWood. The entire town is a Giant Shopping MALL! Paladins Artix: A Paladin is a warrior of good who has dedicated their life to thrawting evil and protecting those in need. Artix: Through love and faith a Paladin is granted the power to overcome great evil. Artix: There are many different types of Paladins... perhaps you would like to train as a Paladin one day. Artix: I would be honored to share with you what I have learned once we have a handle on this undead situation. Doomwood Artix: Doomwood used to be a beautiful forest... and it had a different name. I know this, because I was born and raised here before IT happened. Necromancers Artix: Necromancers... *furrows his brow* They are evil spell casters who abuse their magic to create and control the undead. Artix: Necromances enslave the life force of their victims, trapping them in their skeletal cages and controlling them like puppets. Artix: Each undead you cross is the result of this terrible magic. But by destroying the skeleton you set the life force free! Artix: I can hear their voices in my mind... and they want to be free. That is why I battle... I will not stop until I free them all! Artix: Within the Necropolis lays the secrets of this Dark magic. I intend to destroy it and never let this happen to anyone again! Artix: Will you help me defeat these Necromancers, friend? - Yes
Artix: Thank you! I know that together we can put a stop to the evil that the Necromancers are spreading! - No
Artix: I am sure you have your reasons. I believe in you and know that you will do the right thing. Invite Artix! Artix: It would be an honor to fight by your side! Lets you take Artix as a guest on either space A or B. Heal & potions Heals you and refills your HP and MP potions. Become a Paladin! Artix: Joining the order of the Paladins is no small task, <Character>. I have to be sure that you heart is pure. It will take time. Lets you train as a Paladin. Other Classes! Artix: I will not interfere with your choices but if you want to learn the skills of the Necromancer or DeathKnight, then I must send you elsewhere. Necromancer Artix: Well, we have defeated every necromancer in the Necropolis... Artix: So I guess the only necromancer left to teach you necromany... Artix: ...Would be Zorbak! Remember before you decide to learn from that ebil moglin that he was expelled from Necro U. Death Knight Artix: A Death Knight is a fallen paladin who has turned down the path of corruption. Artix: You must be fully trained as both a Paladin AND a Necromancer to become one of these dread warriors of darkness. Artix: I only know of one place where you might learn more about Deathknights... the Tomb of Sir Malifact. Purify Doom Weapon! Artix: Those Doom Weapons are dangerous. VERY dangerous. I can sense the evil inside them. Artix: The elemental darkness spirits that are bound to those weapons appear to grow stronger with each passing day. Artix: I have certain abilities that I have never seen in another paladin, and I believe that I can cleanse these weapons. Artix: If you come across one of these Doom Weapons... bring it to me and I can transform it into a Weapon of Destiny! Artix: The Weapons of Destiny will be just as powerful as their counterparts, but will be infused with the power of Light! Artix: Just make sure to get the Doom Weapons to me... before it is too late. Opens the Purify merge shop. UPGRADE Destiny Weapon! Artix: If you want, I can upgrade the Weapons of Destiny for you, but I will need you to gather some materials for me. Artix: If you are upgrading your Weapon of Destiny from it's most basic form, you will need some Purification Research Materials. Artix: You can find the Purification Research Materials in Chaney's shop in Crystal Clear Lake, near Amityvale. Artix: After that upgrade, all you will need are Undead Slayer Badges that you can gather from any of my quests for further upgrades. Opens the Shop of Destiny merge shop. Set Home Town Artix: Awesome! You really want to make Doomwood your home and slay undead? Lets you save The Necropolis as your home town. Quests! Artix: The undead are causing havoc all over Doomwood! Battle for Moonridge! Artix: There is one town in Doomwood that has managed to avoid being tainted by the darkness swallowing this land... Moonridge. Artix: As much as I want to get into this door and stop and stop the necromancers in the Nercopolis... Artix: ...The people of Moonridge need our help first. Their town is being attacked by waves of the undead! We have to find out who is behind this! Artix: Gather 5 Undead Slayer Badges from the waves of undead to unlock the Boss Fight! The Necromantress Artix: Someone is coming.... Artix: Woah! The Necromantress may have just made the worlds largest evil undead Mr Potato head! Moonridge: Saved! Artix: You did it! Moonridge has been saved! The mayor has sent a letter inviting us to a party to be held in our honor! Artix: I would mean a lot to these people if we show up. Are you ready to go to Moonridge? Artix: OOOOoooh! A SKELETON key! Artix: We did our best! Artix: Hey! That was my line! Artix: ... Artix: You go first... Artix: ... Artix: Stop copying me! Artix: ... Artix: ............ Artix: SNICKERDOODLE! Artix: *thinks* Woah, that was weird. Artix: Did you say... Vayle? Artix: It is... just that I knew a girl named Vayle once when I was a young boy. Artix: *thinks* Could this be the same Vayle I met when I was a little boy? Artix: I can hold. That monster has grabbed the little girl, you have to save her! Artix: Just be careful.. he looks HEAVILY ARMED! Artix: Are you alright little girl? Artix: ??? The Outcast Artix: The mayor gave me directions to the house of one of Doomwood's necromancers. I guess he is a little but of an outcast. Artix: I do not like dealing with necromancers, but this might be our only chance to get inside the Necropolis! Artix: That is not polite, Zorbak. Artix: Indeed. We need your help. Artix: Enough jokes, Zorbak... Artix: ...We REALLY need your help to get inside the Necropolis. Do you have some kind of key we can use? Artix: ... Artix: ...Really? Artix: Expelled?! Artix: ... Artix: *Nods* "This is where out quest truly begins my friend. Who knows what horrors await us in the depths of the Necropolis. The Gate Keeper Artix: Now that Zorbak gave us his student I.D. Card, the gates of the Necropolis are opening for us! Artix: We have to get down there, past their guards, and see if we can figure out what the Necromancers are planning! Artix: What is there to worry about? Artix: No problem at all, my friend! We can solve this the same way we justify all of the plot holes and bugs in this game. Artix: Magic! Artix: There is one problem I have not been able to figure out yet though. Artix: There are two of us... but we only have one Student ID card. Artix: That is a joke, right? Artix: *think* Must... resist... urge... to... vanquish... evil! Artix: Hmm? Oh. OOOOOHHHH! Artix: Uh.. Arrrrrrr.... Artix: Eeeeeee..... Ewwwwwwww..... Artix: um.. Brains? *big smile* Artix: ! Artix: Certainly... Let us just... walk right past these undead monsters... Artix: Without... attacking them... even a little bit... Artix: Yes. I just... Artix: *sweatdrops* ... Just need to... Artix: ... to... Artix: ... to RID THE WORLD OF THESE SERVANTS OF EVIL! Artix: ATTACK! Artix: Yes. It was. I am very sorry, <Character>. I just could not help myself. Artix: I hear a lot of movement below. Perhaps something else is going on. Artix: Sepulchure is raising an army of 100 Million Undead!? Artix: <Character>... are you thinking what I am thinking? Artix: Whoa... Artix: You WERE thinking what I was thinking! Artix: Just two of us versus an entire underground city of the walking dead... Artix: THAT is the spirit! Artix: Yes, two heroes against this army of darkness. I've always wanted to fight a desperate battle against incredible odds! Artix: Now, if only we had a map! The T.A.'s Challenge Artix: We may only get one chance to defeat this evil. We need to know more about what is going on down there. Artix: <Character>, since I cannot seem to... control myself... around these monsters, I need you to sneak back down and see what you can find out! The Body Shop Artix: Now that we have a map of the Necropolis we can really do some damage to those Necromancers! Artix: Our first stop is the place they call The Body Shop! Artix: Ok, according to the map on the back of the Necro U handbook... Artix: ...This area is called the Body Shop. Artix: <Character>, there is ALWAYS time for personal hygiene... but it is not THAT kind of Body Shop. Artix: According to the handbook this is where they have their Build-A-Beast Worhsop. Artix: ... Artix: If we can get into the workshop, then we should be able to destroy the foul methods they use to make some of their monsters! Artix: All we need to do is get inside without being noticed. Artix: Then we can take out the necromancer who runs the workshop and vanish without a trace! Artix: We should try to avoid drawing any attention to ourselves. Artix: Good, That means we can do this quickly and quietly with no... Artix: There must be less than fifty of them. We can take them! Artix: Yeah, but... but... *sigh* Oh, fine. Artix: NO! Artix: May I be excused? I need to use the restroom. Artix: "Safetly reasons"? Artix: Oh BOY! Artix: !!! Too Many Cooks Artix: The necromancers are cooking up something horrible and we have got to stop them! Artix: There is a section of the Necropolis that is called the Ice Creamatorium, which doubles as the university cafeteria and evil food laboratories. Artix: I am not sure what their plans are, but it is something BIG. This will bring us one step closer to taking down the Necropolis! Artix: This is the entrance to the Ice Creamatorium. Artix: There is a lot of activity surrounding this place and I can feel the evil coming from inside, but how can we find out their plans? Artix: Why did I not think of that? Artix: ... Artix: ..."Sinister soup"? Artix: <Character>, this is serious. These food zombies could be a real threat. Artix: Okokokok, I get it. I think I might have just the weapons for this task! Artix: Yeah. I cannot get enough of this stuff. I put it on everything. Artix: But you have to use JUUUSSST the right amount or it ruins the whole meal! The Green Mist Artix: Something has been bothering me, <Character>. Artix: Noxus has built Sepulchure a massive army and I think I may know how. In order to explain I'll need to start from the beginning. Artix's Voice: I grew up in a village here in Doomwood... Artix's Voice: It was not very large, but it was large enough that I had never met Vayle before THAT day... Artix's Voice: I was in the forest outside of town chopping wood when I heard someone calling for help... Artix's Voice: I ran to the river as fast as I could... Artix's Voice: I saw that someone... a little girl... had fallen into the river... Artix's Voice: She was clinging onto a rock but the current was too strong for her... Artix's Voice: I had to try and save her... Artix's Voice: Town was not too far but I knew that, by the time I returned, she would be gone... Artix's Voice: I tried to reach her... Artix's Voice: But I slipped... Artix's Voice: The rest... Artix's Voice: ..Is darkness. Artix's Voice: Some time later I awoke to the sound of sobbing... Artix's Voice: I knew exactly where we were as soon as I saw the chamber... Artix's Voice: As I lifted the orb, I heard it talking to me... Artix's Voice: It was whispering in my mind... Artix's Voice: It said that I would have great strength and great power... Artix's Voice: It said that I could increase that power a thousandfold, if I gave myself over to the darkness... Artix's Voice: ... Artix's Voice: There was a moment when I almost... Artix's Voice: ... Artix's Voice: ...But I did not. Artix's Voice: Right then and there I decided to turn my back on the darkness forever... Artix's Voice: That was when I decided to become a power of good! Artix's Voice: Once we got back to the village, things did not quite go as I expected... Artix's Voice: That night I was still trying to find a way to explain things to Vayle's brother... Artix's Voice: That is when the Green Mist rolled in... Artix's Voice: Suddenly everyone in town was transformed into... zombies... Artix's Voice: That night I lost everything and everyone that I ever knew... Artix's Voice: ... Artix's Voice: I had no choice. I had to fight my way out.. Artix's Voice: As I looked back at the village I thought I saw a person.... with wings... Artix's Voice: but then, the figure was lost in the smoke... Artix's Voice: I turned my back on the village and ran for my life ... Artix's Voice: I knew nobody could survive that. I thought I was the only one who lived... Artix's Voice: I wandered in the woods for... I do not know how long... Artix's Voice: Eventually I reached the end of my strength... Artix's Voice: I thought that I was done for... then... Artix: She nursed me back to health and began training me to battle the forces of evil (but I had enough tea to last me a lifetime). Artix: My contact with the orb had changed me. Artix: I could now sense the presence of the undead, and I instinctually knew the best way to battle them. Artix: A few years later I joined the paladin order as a paladin-in-training. Artix: I put all thoughts of the village behind and looked forward to my new life. Artix: Then, when I saw Vayle it all came back to me. Artix: She and I were the only ones who survived that night... we were unchanged by the Green Mist. Artix: She and I were the only ones who touched that orb... Artix: I think that orb was the Elemental Orb of Darkness. Artix: I do not know how but I think Noxus got his hands on it, and is using its power to help construct Sepulchure's army. Artix: If I am right... stopping Noxus is more important than I first thought. Artix: I am just glad that you are by my side <Character>. Artix: Together, I KNOW that we can stop Noxus and the necromancers! Artix Vs. The Undead Artix: You may have noticed but this whole area is one gigantic graveyard that sits right on top of the Necropolis. Artix: Much of the graveyard have been claimed by the mashland on the northern and western edges. Artix: I have seen some necromancers going in and out of that area and I think they are getting a lot of their 'materials' from there. Artix: We should go and see if we can do something about that! Artix: Then we will start with her. Artix: Since she has a head start we will have to find our way through the undead that she has already raised. Artix: ...and for once we have the element of suprise on our side. Artix: I mean, we have the drop on the necromantress! Artix: She will never see us coming! Artix: Hmmm. You may be right. Artix: Now we have you! Let us see who hides beneath those purple robes! Artix: ...!!! Artix: Us? Artix: Vayle, if what you say is true then you have been keeping his spirit captive. The spirits of the dead long to move on. Artix: Noxus was lying to you when he said that he would teach you how to get your brother back. Artix: His life force was really captive all those years then there was probably nothing left of your brother to... Artix: Vayle... Artix: I do not believe that it was her. Artix: Yes. You are right. Noxus has to be stopped...NOW! Necropolis: Last Stand Artix: Vayle...you HAVE to understand. You weren't saving your brother...you were keeping him from moving on. Artix: The Edgar that you love...he's been gone for a long time. Now he can finally rest... Noxus Fumes Artix: It looks like the last of Sepulchure's undead army is being taken care of my the other heroes of Falconreach. Artix: That means that we are free to go down into the Necropolis and finish this. Artix: We have to get the Darkness Orb from Noxus at all costs! Artix: I cannot believe how much power you and the other heroes of Falconreach have when you work towar a common goal! Artix: I had a great time stomping those skeletons into the ground. I just wish there had been more. Artix: I KNOW! I feel like I got ripped off! Oh well, at least Noxus should have something interesting up his sleeve... Artix: ...I just hope that we are ready for whatever he throws at us. Artix: Only a necromancer with the power of the Darkness Orb could have built that army. Artix: Killing him? He died as a result of the Green Mist. Do you mean that you...? Extra Credit Artix: Moonridge has another small...okay, large...problem, <Character>. Artix: It looks like some of Noxus most talented students were working on an extra credit project for his Advanced Monster Creation class. Artix: Anyway, after we defeated Noxus I was poking around in some of the undead labs looking for left-overs and I kind of set it loose. Artix: Heh. Everyone makes mistakes, right? *weak smile* Artix: It is VERY large. I'm pretty sure that only a Dragonlord can defeat a monster this powerful! Artix: I tried to handle it myself but I think I only made it mad. I may have given it a hangnail. I will leave this beast to you! A Dark Letter Artix: <Character>, I am very worried about Vayle. After everything she has been through... Find her, and see what you can do to help her! Memory-Demons Artix: You are right, <Character>. I too would start searching in Amityvale. Help Vayle! She deserves happiness. I am done. EDIT: @below: fixed ;) Done, thanks. [Niki]
