«You»: I am a scout searching for one of the lost Idols of Mogga.
«You»: Some Mogo-Habilis who have been displaced from their lands by clan wars asked me to find whatever Idols I can and to keep them safe.
Lucius: Ah, yes...I have studied the Mogo-Habilis. Poor innocent and peaceful creatures.
Lucius: I do not know exactly where an Idol may be found, but the Dynami Clan, in the southern mountains of Paxia, might know.
«You»: Thank you, Lucius!
Lucius: Good luck on your search!

«You»: Some Moglo-Habilis who have been displaced by clan wars asked me to find whatever Idols I can and to keep them safe.
Dynamo: Lucius and I have often been allies and friends in the past. I trust his intentions are good.
Dynamo: Yes, I know a little of these Idols. My firefly explorers reported seeing fire creatures with some Idols not long ago. They would have taken them to the Igneus Chain, just north of here.
«You»: Thanks for the help, Queen Dynamo!
Dynamo: May you find what you seek.

Moglo-Habilis #1: We are sorry to see you go.... Maybe you can help later.
You journey overland to the chain of the highest Paxian mountains... Continue
«You»: This place gives new maning to the word 'hot'!!
«You»: It feels like there is a river of fire flowing right underneath the rocks!
???: Maybe that's because there IS a river of fire flowing beneath the rocks!
«You»: Oh. Right. And who are you?
Xarav: I am Xarav, brother of Varax and son of Evaz! Ever since my brother's defeat in battle while serving Drakonnan, I have been searching for a great power to serve.
Xarav: Here in Paxia I have found the Igneus CLan, and I will do everything I can to defend it!
Xarav: YOU can pass no further unless you can survive a little TEST I have for trespassers like you...
«You»: 'Survive' and 'Test' in the same sentence. Doesn't sound good.
Xarav: Agree to take my test or I will command my entire force of Fire Minions to attack you!
«You»: You really like being in charge, don't you?
Xarav: Being Commander of Fire Minions has its perks. Now make your choice!
Take Xarav's Test!
Bring on the fire minions!
Take Xarav's Test!
A correct answer lets you go to the next question. On an incorrect answer:
Xarav: FAILURE! Minion-- attack!!
BATTLE
1 Random Fire-Element Monster
HEAL Xarav: Hahaha! Very good! Answer my questions correctly, or you will have to fight one of my loyal minions! I'm going to put you in the "hot seat"!!! hehe.
Xarav: First question: How can someone walk barefoot on burning coals but not get burned?? (Do not try that at home!)
The coals glow but are not hot
The coals are very hot but do not conduct heat well
Xarav: Correct!! Next question:
Xarav: After a fire has gone, what is all that is left in a pile of ashes??
Minerals and water
Minerals and carbon
Carbon and fibres
Xarav: Correct!! Next question:
Xarav: Diamonds and charcoal are both made of carbon. Charcoal burns, but does diamond burn?
No, diamond doesn't burn, you fool!
Yes, it burns at 800 degrees centigrade
Xarav: Correct!! Next question:
Xarav: When something burns, it is being combined with oxygen. This is called oxidation. But many things experience oxidation without burning, especially when it happens slowly.
Xarav: Which one of the following is NOT oxidation?
Iron rusting
Rotting horse manure (ick)
The heat from a hot cup of tea
Xarav: Correct!! FINAL question:
Xarav: Spontaneous combustion happens when the heat produced from oxidation is enough to ignite a substance. Which of the following is there NOT scientific proof of spontaneous combustion?
Oily rags
Humans
Newspapers
Xarav: Bah!! You did it-- you survived my test. So, why is it you have come to Igneus?

Sure, I'll take your "test"
......Take the Test
No thanks, I'm on a mission
......Proceed to *Afterwards*
*Afterwards*
«You»: I need to ask your leader a question.
Xarav: Meh-- am I not good enough for you?
«You»: ............. No, you're not. Take me to your leader.
Xarav: *shrug* Okay, I'll take you. But I'll blame you if he has a "meltdown" and "fires" me.
Xarav: Here it is, the lair of the Igneus Clan! I hope you you are flame-proof!
Go in!
«You»: Hello! I am a scout searching for one of the lost Idols of Mogga. I have heard that some members of your fire clan may have found some of the Idols...
Igneox: Greetings to you, and welcome to my home. I am Igneox, my clan's leader. This is quite a coincidence.
Igneox: You see, I too have heard of fire creatures pillaging some Moglo-Habilis villages. But you must understand, not all fire creatures on Paxia are members of my Clan Igneus.
«You»: Really?
Igneox: It is true that many creatures belong to clans here, but not all. Some of them are independent. TOO independent... I do not approve of the Idol-stealing.
Igneox: I hope you find these Idols. I almost hate to do this, but if you journey far to the southwest of here, you will find Glacius, home to my oftentimes-enemies the Glacius Clan.
Igneox: The Moglo-Habilis culture and the Glacius Clan are very close-knit, trading and sharing together. They may be of more helo to you.
Igneox: The Flames of Sulva will guide you on your search!
Return to the Moglo-Habilis

Moglo-Habilis #1: That's a chilly place. Take some gloves and a hat!
Find the next are!
No, maybe later...
Moglo-Habilis #1: We are sorry to see you go.... Maybe you can help later.
Along the southwestern coast of Paxia is a small island kept frozen by icy currents year-long. This is Glacius... Continue
«You»: *shiver* I knew that ice armour would come in handy, but this place is ridiculous!
«You»: Uh-oh-- it looks like the local wildlife is a little restless!
BATTLE
3 Random Ice-Element Monsters
HEAL (after each battle)
«You»: Whew, I was worried they would keep coming. I wonder why all the other monsters ran away??
«You»: ...........
«You»: Ouch!!
«You»: This snow isn't as soft as it looks...
tik-tik-tik
«You»: What is THAT sound??
*You are hit and lose 10 HP*
«You»: ICE SPIKES! Every time I hear that sound, I'd better dodge!
tik-tik-tik
Dodge!

Dodge!

«You»: I HATE ice spikes.
«You»: SOMEONE, ANYONE, help!!!! I'm down here!!!!!
*A ladder falls*
???: Are you ready to come out of there, yet?
«You»: I can say without a doubt that I AM ready to leave the killer ice spike pit, now. You aren't going to try to eat me, though, are you?
???: I just had lunch.
Before long you find yourself within the lair of Glaciar, master of the Glacius Clan!
«You»: Thank you for the rescue back there, Glaciar. I meant to ask you-- How did you get that ladder to me without the benefit of having hands??
Glaciar: I could not BEAR to see you straned in that pit, so I had one of my loyal clan members drop the ladder down to you.
«You»: Let me get down to business, before I am PUNished to much... The Igneus Clan sent me this way on my search for some lost Idols of the Moglo-Habilis villiagers.
Glaciar: Oh, the poor Moglo-Habilis... I pity them. We have several of them here with us, and are keeping them safe. They told me something very disturbing...
Glaciar: They saw a group of fire mercenaries taking some of their golden Idols of Mogga to Nocturu-- the dark southern part of Paxia Forest.
«You»: What could they be doing with them?? Selling them?
Glaciar: Perhaps. Nocturu Clan's leader, Noctros, often comes up with vile plans. I hope you find the Idols and are safe in doing so!
Glaciar: Beware Noctros-- Everyone treads on thin ice with him...

«You»: Glaciar of the ice clan told me the way to Nocturu forest...
Moglo-Habilis #1: uh-oh... I'm feeling spooked just thinking about that!Find the next are!
No, maybe later...
Moglo-Habilis #1: We are sorry to see you go.... Maybe you can help later.
Deep within the shadows of Paxia Forest lies the Night Castle, home of the Nocturu Clan... Continue
«You»: Those are probably the scariest trees I have ever seen.
???: --so I says to her, I says 'Come on baby, light my fire'! Hehe! Hehehe
??? ??: HAHAHA-- That's a funny one, Joe!
Joe: hehehe, yeah, I know.... Hehe.......... heh.......
«You»: You must be the fire mercenaries who stole the Moggo Idols!!!
Joe: What Idols??
«You»: Hey!! Get back here!!

HEAL

Random Fire-Element Monsters
HEAL (after each battle)
«You»: Well, justice is served!! Too bad they didn't have any Idols with them.
«You»: Maybe they already sold them...
Walk deeper into the forest...
Enter the castle
Noctros: I heard of your 'exploits', scout. You have been tracking down the lost Moglo-Habilis Idols, am I correct?
«You»: You are correct, Noctros. You are also a man-sized bat. You should change your name to 'Bat-Man'.
Noctros: Hmm...that has a nice ring to it. Sounds a bit too much like a superhero or someone who would otherwise wear tights, though.
«You»: I didn't come all this way to chit-chat. I want those Idols of Moggo that the fire creatures brought you. They need to be returned to their rightful owners!
Noctros: Those gold Idols are part of my collection. But I understand how much you want them... You want to help those poor, little, ignorant Moglo-Habilis. So I'll do this for you:
Noctros: Fight me. You win, I give you the Idols. You lose... well... You die. Does that sound fair?
Sure it does! Let's fight, Bat-Man!
No thanks, maybe some other time...
Noctros: Very well. Ta-ta, then.
Return to Moglo-Habilis
BATTLE
Noctros
HEAL
Noctros: *cough cough* You--win... Take your filthy Moggo Idols! I don't want them anymore.
«You»: Oh, I'll take them, gladly. Your moral for today is: STEALING IS BAD. Especially stealing from cute helpless creatures with long ears.
