Lake Rathetear Quests

Say: “hail”

The Riptide goblins must have their crown returned to them. If you would be so kind as to give me the crown I will make sure that it reaches them. Hopefully they are capable enough to repair the damage that has been done to it.

Say: “hail”

Eh? There is nothing I can help you with. I have nothing for myself anymore... except these [

In my dreams I see sand as red as blood and skies scorched from war. It is a terrible vision that has haunted me greatly. Please find a way to let me know if this is fact or fiction, $name.

Say: “cursed dreams”

I pray that they stay locked within my mind for the world as we know it would be changed forever. In my dreams I see sand as red as blood and skies scorched from war. It is a terrible [

I sense something within you. You may walk the path, but I must be certain. The information I possess is too important to give to just anyone. If you believe you are worthy of the information I hold you will complete this [

Say: “task”

Do not think that it will be an easy feat, even for one with such capabilities as yourself. There are two masters you must find. They will show you the ways of the enlightened. Return to me after you have gained proof of your deeds.

Say: “the way”

Very well then. There is a place full of mirrors. Locate one of them and speak the words, I am ready to be tested. It is at this point you will face the darkness within yourself. You will have to face this foe alone, remember that. Return to me if you manage to prove that you are worthy of true enlightenment.

Say: “vision”

I have seen visions of a dark foe gaining new strength in a plane unknown to me. It grows stronger with every passing minute. It gathers those that stand for chaos and disorder and is sending them out to search for the ultimate power of the Immortals, but it cannot be real. History reveals that he has been defeated. I see this same dream every night. It haunts me greatly. This dream seems too real, however, to not have some truth to it. If only I knew if this was the gift of foresight, or if I have finally lost my mind. If I only knew, I would be able to rest again.

Say: “time”

Time for what? Time for us to find a way to defeat this menace that threatens our ways of life. Go out and find one that may know more about the [

Say: “diary”

Kaiarens Diary? I havent seen it in some time now. If I were not such a coward, I would have kept it. I have heard rumors of it being torn in half. Some students that wanted to learn the ways of the Celestial Fists were looking for it a while back. One was a pirate that wanted to only learn the Path of the Silent to gain more treasures then he had. The other, wanted to become the most powerful fighter alive. You may want to seek them out and see if they have located pieces of it. I am sorry I could not be of more help. If you do happen to locate the two pieces, bring them back to me and maybe I will be able to aid you further. Now that you know my secret, there is no reason to remain hidden from the world. You will be able to find me resting in the Plane of Tranquility. Be safe, $name .

Say: “power of the Immortals”

Power of the Immortals? Hmmm. . .well of course I know about that, but at the moment I have more pressing issues at hand. I'm sorry I could not be of more help, but maybe after my assistant has returned I can help you.

Say: “Vortix”

I see you know who I truly am now. It does not matter though. There is nothing I can help you with. Danl should have been able to help you more than I could.

Say: “Hail”

Hello. $name.

Say: “Hail”

Yesterday. I took my yearly bath in the big lake. Can you tell? I swam out to the aviak dive and jumped in! Jumping in the lake from their platform is always such fun! Down at the bottom. I saw something red and shiny. I wish I could hold my breath long enough to go find out what it was.

Say: “hail”

So the foolish brigand sold the staff to Ronaiar, eh? Who is Ronaiar? He is an insane necromancer that makes his home somewhere near the lake. I had a feeling he would try to get his hands on the staff. That is why I came out here. I must inform Kazen of this turn of events and you must destroy that decrepit fool, Ronaiar. If you find the staff, give it to Geboron.

The lake's depths hold so many secrets. Unless you have a reason to be bothering me, I would suggest you leave, before you become another 'secret'.

Say: “hail”

Go away! I'm busy! I don't have time for scoundrels like you! Leave me alone or I shall, um..turn you into, er, a fish or something! That is what us powerful wizards do to those who annoy us! Yes, that is it. A fish! Did that sound scary enough?

Say: “that was scary”

Ha! I knew it. I could see you trembling! Everyone fears an angry wizard and nobody wants to be a fish. I know I detest fish, it is always fish fish fish around here. Fish cakes, fish stew, fish wine, I am sick of fish. But alas, while I am a powerful wizard, I am also a poor one. Oh well, good things come to those who wait. So, why are you here, $race?

Say: “stanos sent me”

Stanos? Stanos Herkanor? I thought he was long dead. He nearly got me killed, in any case. What does the old fool want of me now?

Say: “translate”

Ah, codes are my specialty! It's what I did for the Circle before Hanns took over. But the Fox is wrong. I owe him nothing! As a fact, he owes me! He wants this translated - he will have to pay!

Say: “pay”

Aye, pay, and pay you must. I need 100 platinum pieces to begin my work. This tower is old and drafty and it will take that much to make it bearable. And while you're at it, I need something else. I am very busy here and have no time to shop, so bring me back a couple bottles of milk along with your very large bag of platinum, and I will translate anything you wish at that time.

Say: “hail”

I am Emkel Kabae, first apprentice to Kazen. If you have a symbol, tell me its name.

Say: “symbol of the serpent”

There are more reagents to be gathered. The time draws near for our master's ascension. Travel to the lands of Kunark and seek out Ssessthrass. He is a very wise Iksar herbalist helping me in my endeavor to please Master Kazen. Be careful not to insult his speech, or you may end up dead before you serve your purpose to the master. Be sure to show him the symbol as proof or he may consider you dinner.

Say: “hail”

Gimme duffynitey rocks! Me crushem GUUD!!!

Say: “amphibious abilities”

That's why you're here, recruit! The lake is a great place to train swimming and aquatic combat. And those skills are core to the Guja way of life. We use land and sea to assault our foes. Whoops. . .I'm going on again. Let's get to your [training].

Say: “training”

First off, you need to get your swimming as high as possible. Get it to 130 and we can start. The numbers? Oh, that's just Sugal's own little accounting. Tell me when your [swimming] is [ready].

Say: “swimming is ready”

Good! Kick those legs. Ready for your first amphibious attack? Good. Gnolls wander all around the lake edge. Conceal yourself in the water. Stalk them. Slay them. Then bring me 4 of their tongues to show you've done your work.

Go do what I told you! Don't you know how to follow orders?

Say: “hail”

Hello,

Say: “rineval”

Rineval is a strange, but special young lady. I've been told that she can read and write in ways that only a few in Norrath can. She usually does not speak of this, however I am a dear friend of hers. Say that you are in need of a scribe. If she asks you who told you this mention my name.

Say: “hail”

It has been a while since we have talked. You have done well in obtaining your Scythe. The time has come however for you to perform another task for me. I do not wish to waste time, so in short, I want you to collect a most powerful staff for me. I only have a piece of it as the rest has mysteriously disappeared.

I wish to research this staff piece but first I need some special research tools. Take this note and travel to Steamfont. Find a gnome named Biddliss Sperandu and give him the note. When you obtain the research tools hand them to me.

Don't you have a task to complete?

Say: “dark arts”

Ha! You call yourself a Necromancer? Come back when you have tortured a few more souls!

Say: “prove”

The wandering knight, Sir Edwin Motte, recently slew one of my lesser servants. This foolish knave travels from town to town pretending to be good. Separate his head from his body and return it to me so I may work my magics upon it. This fool will become another plaything for me, even in death.

Say: “advance”

I share great secrets with my more powerful servants who show me they are willing to serve without question. Tell my servant the name of any symbol he gives you and he will instruct you. If I give you a symbol, speak its name to me so I may instruct you.

Say: “symbol of apprentice”

You have a long way to go before I teach you the true secrets of life and death. Visit Venenzi Oberendi in the Nektulos Forest and show her the symbol. She is collecting reagents for one of my experiments and is taking far too long. I do not wish her dead, yet, I simply need the reagents soon. Retrieve the reagents and give them to my assistant Emkel Kabae. I do not wish to handle them myself.

Say: “reagents”

'The reagents are the same types the great sorcerer Miragul used to cheat death and become a lich. I do not wish to become a lich as Miragul did, I have greater aspirations than to simply live forever as a hollow shell. I will rise up a being of pirit only, with a will off my own.' Kazen's eyes glow sickly red as he stared off toward the horizon.

Say: “symbol of testing”

Show me that you can overcome larger obstacles and manipulate servants. Gather a force for of mercenaries if you like, or so-called friends, if you desire, and prepare for battle, my promising young student. Return to me with the symbol of testing when you are prepared for battle with my creations. Have no fear, I will not slay you myself. If you do live, tell me the name of the symbol you receive.

Say: “symbol of insanity”

It is time for you to meet my partner, so to speak. Drendico Metalbones is his name and I assure you he is quite mad. His mind has been rended by fright, dread, and terror in his trips to the planes and his heart is full of hatred now. He has a tome which I wish you to use. Show him your symbol slowly and listen to his rantings well, they hide great knowledge.

Say: “elder spirit sent me”

Aye, well then. Watch yerself. Thar be a crazy fella over there. Been trying for days, I 'ave, to get 'im to make some sense about this megalodon creature 'e keeps prattling on about. I been a bit shy o' stepping in the lake to get some seaweed for the spirit's potion. Maybe you could go take a look. Somethin' usually comes by to snap 'em up when they grow, so ye may need to route around a tad out there. You think you are [

Say: “up to it”

Very well, then, off you go in search of the seaweed.

Say: “break down”

As most things, the process is not a simple one and we'll need some ingredients for a special potion. You must retrieve four items, which should not prove difficult for a shaman of your stature. They are very specific and I can tell you more about the [

Say: “skin”

First, you must find your way to Kuua for part of the potion. There you will find a foul hound of flesh with no fur and fangs. We need a perfect specimen of some of its skin for our potion. Three should do nicely.

Say: “powder”

The powder is very unique and can be difficult to obtain -- many have died trying as it's a coveted magic. There is an undead fiend that uses this powder to turn many creatures and darken them. It is a beast in a sickly plane which makes it that much more challenging, of course. This powder is needed so that we can use a pinch of it to attract the Spirit of Might close enough to us to have it turn its back on the path of the wasichu.

Say: “tooth”

In suffocating lands, there are a few revenants with a marrow that we need. It's a rather unpleasant task and I'm sure they won't cooperate. You must find four of their teeth.

Say: “goo”

The goo is very special and will provide a strong acidic base for the agent we are creating. You will find it deep where the spirits groan and drift, where it seems even the walls howl in agony. There is only one creature that produces this goo that we use to separate gem from metal. It is very deep within that place. You should try to obtain two samples of goo.

When you have all of these things, use my medicine bag to create this potion and return it to me.

Hello. stranger. Are you an adventurer?

Say: “i am an adventurer”

I wish I could go off and explore the world like you. I will spend my days as a fisherman here. I am sure. Nothing ever happens around here though. Well. except for the other day..

Say: “what other day”

I was spearfishing near the aviak construction and something amazing happened. I was in the middle of spearing a fish when something at the bottom of the lake began to glow red. I could swear I heard the sounds of a dragon. I did not stick around to find out what it was.

Say: “hail”

'Greetings, $name. I am Rykas, chronicler of knowledge. I have journeyed all throughout the lands of Norrath, and I have learned many tales of adventure from people I have encountered during my travels. I have learned of legends known and unknown to most mortals. Are you in search of knowledge?

A small task is needed if you wish to learn more. Do you wish to learn the tale of Magi'kot?

If you seek to learn the tale of Trilith Magi'kot, your journey shall begin in the Commonlands. Search for Jahsohn Aksot and give him this token.

Hail, good $name!! Be wary near the waters of Lake Rathe! The Riptide goblin king, Lord Bergurgle, has been commanding his minions to murder and rob all who come near it! I am here seeking his death but I am afraid I am no match for all of his subjects. I shall reward you greatly for the death of Lord Bergurgle. I simply ask that you bring me his crown as proof.

Where did you hear... I don't know what you are talking about. Begone! Back to Kithicor with you!

Say: “diary”

Kaiaren's Diary? I haven't seen it in some time now. If I were not such a coward, I would have kept it. I have heard rumors of it being torn in half. Some students that wanted to learn the ways of the Celestial Fists were looking for it a while back. One was a pirate that wanted to only learn the Path of the Silent to gain more treasures than he had. The other, wanted to become the most powerful fighter alive. You may want to seek them out and see if they have located pieces of it. I am sorry I could not be of more help.
