The Search Other name: North Location: Yulgar's Weapon Shop / Battleon Inn -> Yulgar / "Yulgar" -> Fire War -> North -> Quest! Level/Quest/Items required: Completion of Aftermath Release Date: June 12th, 2009 Objective: You head North with Demento. Objective completed: You've found the caves... but what dwells within? Experience rewarded: Scaled Gold rewarded: Scaled Monsters (5) Frost Goblin (3) Killguin (9) Snowball (2) Tusker (4) Ursice Savage NPCs Demento Konnan Xan Rewards None Dialogue Demento: <Character>, Akriloth must be stopped. Demento: We'll go north and search the frozen wastes there. Demento: There is a clan of ice dragons, as well as a rumor of something more ancient... Demento: ...Something that dwells in the glacial caves and collects the frozen remnants of battles long past. Demento: Will you go with me? <Character>: Of course, Demento. I... whatever I can do to help bring down that fire dragon. <Character>: What, or who, are we searching for? Demento: Long ago, the Elemental Lords placed guardians on Lore to protect their realms. Demento: It is said one of the ice guardians became corrupted, greedy. Demento: Instead of protecting the area left to it, it incited battles, it stole treasures... and weapons, including the Ice Scythe. <Character>: Ice Scythe? Demento: The Ice Scythe was crafted from the coldest glacial ice, cut from the depths of a lost cavern and enchanted with a powerful special effect. Demento: I believe that if you hit Akriloth with the Ice Scythe just once, it will drain his power and transfer some of its strength to you. Demento: It should make the fight fair... but first, we need to find the corrupted guardian's lair. *You fight your way through various monsters in search of the corrupted guardian's lair, marked by blue sparkles; if decoy sparkles are found, retrace your steps until you find an alternate path, marked by dirt patches; once you find the lair, you rest.* Demento: Here, look <Character>. Demento: Do you see them? <Character>: See what? Demento: The caves. There in the mountain side. Demento: We'll camp tonight and explore the mountain side when we're rested. *You can Demento sit before a campfire as it gets dark.* <Character>: Demento... <Character>: I thought all of Galanoth's family had been killed by Akriloth. Demento: I am not Galanoth's brother by birth, <Character>. Demento: After Akriloth burned his family's farm to the ground, my family took him in. Demento: We became blood brother's shortly after that. <Character>: I see... what happened to make you become blood brothers? Demento: *laughs* Demento: Gal was just five years old, but he was already fearless... Demento: I was ten, and apparently looked like good prey. Demento: I was out, gathering wood for camp and a wyvern swooped down and grasped me in it's claws. Demento: Wyverns would occasionally take smaller farm animals to feed their brood, but with Akriloth rampaging... I was much easier prey. Demento: The wyvern swooped down to carry me off and Galanoth ran... Demento: Heh, it seemed like he jumped 10 feet into the air... and he grabbed hold of my legs and wouldn't let go. Demento: Our weight together was too much for the wyvern and she dropped us back down. Demento: Gal saved me from becoming dragon food and I owe him my life. Demento: Anyways... it's time to gather our energy, <Character>. Demento: We have an ancient and corrupt guardian to face tomorrow... Demento: And we have to convince him to give us the only weapon strong enough to defeat Akriloth! *Meanwhile, Konnan is still grieving his family's passing.* Konnan: I... Konnan: I can't believe they're gone. Konnan: My whole family wiped out... Konnan: I've been gone so long... Konnan: It seems like I've spent years just standing around in Yulgar's forge, when I should have been home. If... if I had been home.... Xan: You would have been incinerated as well, my young friend. Xan: I understand your pain. Xan: I lost someone due to the carelessness of someone who I thought was a friend... Xan: Just like you. Konnan: <Character>... Konnan: <Character> had to have tried... it's just... Konnan: s/he is a hero, s/he has saved Falconreach, faced bandits and monsters, I've heard rumors that s/he even has a pet dragon! Konnan: How could they lose so badly to this Akriloth.... Xan: Hah, a hero? Xan: That "hero" and her/his pathetic band should have saved your family. They only look out for themselves though. Xan: Galanoth only goes after the dragon, he could have saved your family. Xan: <Character> could have led them away! Instead they were taken from you! Xan: My own love, my Jaina... was taken from me by that misfit mage, Warlic... Konnan: Warlic? But... but, he's good... Xan: That's what he wants you to think! Xan: But who's here now? Offering to help you, train you, so you can get your revenge? Xan: Warlic and his little minion, <Character>... they even attacked me! They stole my book of power, called me evil. Konnan: But... why? Xan: Jealousy, Konnan. Xan: Warlic caused the accident that took Jaina from me, and now he tries to steal my power so I can't get her back! Xan: They're only interested in their own power, not min... Xan: ... Xan: Ours. Xan: You have the gift of magic too, Konnan. I can show you how to bend fire to your will, how to enchant with it, make it live... and make it die. Xan: No mere fire dragon will be able to defeat you... Xan: And once Akriloth is gone, you can go after the ones that caused your family to die, the one that took my Jaina away from me. Xan: <Character>, Galanoth, Warlic... all of them!! Xan: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Complete Quest Other information Pop-up headline during the quest: quote:
