Misty Thicket Quests

Say: “hail”

Hello there. I hope things are going well for you, at least better than they are for me. I wish I had time to be more social, but I need rest before I go out and battle with the weather again.

Say: “friend of the storm lord”

Please, not another lecture. I know, I know, I need to accept that it will rain when it rains. Rain is good, it grows my crops. I understand all that. But now the rain is rotting my crops on the vine. It's flooding out my seeds. It's ruining me. I want to remain true to Karana, but I can't be quiet while my family and friends starve. I understand why Karana is worthy of worship. I want to have faith, but I just can't afford to feed my family without my crops!

Say: “hail”

Why, hello there $name! And what brings ya to see little old me? Oh, let me guess! I am sure it is because ya wish t'buy a good spot of Jumjum and listen to [my tale]? Oh, quite lovely so! Why else would one well rounded $race come to see the great Bidils the Quickhand other than to hear of this rogue's great adventures!

Say: “my tale”

Ahhh. . . I see the gods have found the time to be now for a good ear to lend to my words! So long as ya share the Jumjum, I can speak t'ya of the endless adventures and triumphs of Bidils the Quickhand! Now. . . where shall I begin? Yes! [The beginning], of course! Indeed, quite lovely so.

Say: “The beginning”

Yes, of course I shall begin at the beginning! No proper tale would begin anywhere other than the beginning! You see, good $race, I was once a humble rog. . . [merchant] within this here fair city. Oh, how the Jumjum and gol. . . merchandise flowed in then! Quite lovely, indeed, it was. Well then, where was I?

Say: “merchant”

hhh yes! Those days were fair indeed. How I do miss them! Of course, that is not to say that Bidils the Quickhand does not appreciate the eyes and favor of [Bristlebane] upon him! In fact, it is quite the contrary! I do love a good prank! Yes, quite lovely so!

Say: “Bristlebane”

Fizzlethorp Bristlebane, indeed quite the trickster and with a sense of humor! I bet you could not have seen that Bidils the Quickhand would have caught the eye of such a dignified individual, now did ya? Yes, The King of Thieves. . . and merchants finds it amusing when one [takes his possessions]!

Say: “takes his possessions”

Oh yes! Upon one of my several adventures through this great, glorious land of Norrath, I did stumble upon a [lovely treasure], indeed! Great skill and cunning was used, skill that belonged only to Bidils the Quickhand, and has yet to be surpassed within this realm!

Say: “lovely treasure”

A lovely gem, far more beautiful than even the most delicate and fury feet of a halfling lass! It was larger than my face, and sparkled more than the most pure of Jumjum catching the rays of Karana's blessed skies! Indeed, it was a divine treasure to behold. . . but little then did I know that such a treasure truly belonged to the King of Thieves. . . and merchants himself! But no, such truths still would not have [stopped me]!

Say: “stopped me”

Ahh ha! I was not stopped, and the gem was mine! Right from beneath the arms of Bristlebane himself did I take it! That was when he noticed me. . . and that is when I was taken from the humble life of a merchant and placed within the glorious [realm of heroes]! Of course. . . Bristlebane took back the gem. What a shame. Indeed, quite so.

Say: “realm of heroes”

The realm of heroes, that is my new home. . . Well, it was. Ahhh, indeed, it is quite lovely! It is where all that catch the eyes of the gods in favor ascend if their deeds be true and worthy enough for note! Perhaps one day, $name , you shall rise as well!! Look at Bidils the Quickhand, once a sturdy merchant and now a [humble servant] and rewarder of deeds!

Say: “humble servant”

Yes! Indeed, a humble servant I am! I complain not for my occupation. . . as I am humble. I collect [deeds and make recognition] of those who have caught the eyes of the gods. Why the gods do it not themselves, I am lost for answers. . . but, I do not complain. They are gods, you know. Quite busy! Indeed, lovely so!

Say: “deeds and make recognition”

Deeds! Yes, the gods are quite tricky and intelligent you know! They have found a way to mark deeds in the form of a coin! A [coin] in which one who has been so fortunate enough as to accept would give to me. . . or one of the [other Heroes] that have recently come to this land.

Say: “other Heroes”

Oh yes! I am not the only one who has returned to Norrath in search of Heroes! There are many others, indeed! Although, as the gods, their colors vary. Some are [kind and gentle] while some are [vile and nasty] beings of which ya should watch ya'r back for.

Say: “hail”

Hail, $name! My name is Blixkin Entopop. Have you seen the wonderful assortment of [spiders] and [beetles] that inhabit the thicket? I have quite an extensive [bug collection]. Be careful, though. I have seen many brave halflings fall beneath a [swarm] of clicking and hissing bugs.

Say: “spiders”

There are many species of bugs out here. The most common are the fire beetles. If you are hunting them, make sure their queen is not around or you will be in deep trouble. Their eyes are a popular item for adventurers because they give off light as if they were on fire. I even had one warrior try to kill [Ember] for her eyes!!

Say: “ember”

I raised Ember from an egg. She is my faithful pet and quite smart for a beetle. There are plenty of other bugs to squish, out in the thicket, so you had best leave her alone or I will have to SQUISH you!

Say: “swarms”

Bugs tend to swarm and defend others of their species when they are attacked. So keep your eyes peeled if you intend to squish any of them.. And you'd better not even THINK of squishing [Ember] or you will be sorry!

Say: “beetles”

Say: “collection”

Here you go. Just follow the instructions on the [list] so you know what to collect and how to prepare the collection for me.

Say: “list”

What did you do, lose the list? Here is another one. Hold onto it because I will want it back when you are done.

Say: “hail”

Hello. It is dangerous out in the woods. You should go to Rivervale. It's at the end of the path. You will find good times there. Travel safely, my friend!

Say: “shard”

Searching for that blasted emerald shard, are you? That thing has done nothing but bring me bad luck!! I would gladly give it to you if you would do a [small favor] for me.

Say: “small favor”

I have been tracked here by a bounty hunter named Slaythe. I have heard reports of his presence beyond the Great Wall. Please seek him out and bring me some body part of his as proof of his passing. Do this and the emerald shard is yours.

When the blood of many Runnyeye goblins has covered your blade, then I shall find you worthy to speak of such matters.

You are no ally of the Rivervale Deeppockets!! Leave at once!!

Say: “second piece of the gem”

The second emerald shard was hidden in the forest near Kelethin. I heard one of the local guilds found it and now call it the Gem of Tunare. You will have to ask around in Kelethin about it. Good luck.

When the blood of many Runnyeye goblins has covered your blade, then I shall find you worthy to speak of such matters.

You are no ally of the Rivervale Deeppockets!! Leave at once!!

Say: “hail”

I'm so happy you were able to find me, just around the corner is the thief, We can end his parade of theft right this minute!

We only have a few hours, so make sure to be quick!

Tell me when you're ready! [

Say: “extreme”

Lets try to summon him first, I don't know what I'm doing by the way. Lets just wing it! I call upon you, whoever has been stealing my goods. Show yourself!

This may take a few seconds!

Say: “hail”

Hail,

Say: “clan Runnyeye”

Beyond this wall lies Runnyeye, the lair of the goblins of Clan Runnyeye. They have been a nuisance to Rivervale for quite some time. If you wish to join the fight, go to Rivervale and ask Sheriff Roglio about Clan Runnyeye.

Say: “I am reporting for duty”

Stand tall then, Deputy

Say: “hail”

Hi, hi. I've got a lot to do, many mouths to feed, some filthy goblins to smack. If you don't need me for something, please let me go back to my work. Karana watch over you.

Say: “two tasks”

Well, ya ask before ya act. That's a good sign. What I need isn't easy to find. First, I need a mixture. Plain sounding enough but it's a special one. Cleanses the mind and focuses the earth's energies into a forest walker's mind. I don't know how to make it. I don't even know what it's called. I merely know it exists and we'll be needing it for our task. When ya do find how to make it ya can mix it in that bowl. Keep it when you're done, it's a good bowl.

Say: “second task”

Good, ya didn't run off without finding out what else ya need to do. Second, I need a special type of bowl. An ancient type of bowl, which strengthened the food placed inside it, once made by the elves of old. Again, I cannot tell ya how it is made for the making was lost to the ages. Seek this knowledge and these items out in the lands. Come to me when ya have found both.

Say: “hail”

Hmmm. What? Oh sorry, I was snoozing. I was up throughout last night harvesting my [grapes] by the light of the moon.

Say: “grapes”

Why, my magic moon-harvested grapes, of course. I will give you some to sample if you would [help] me.

Say: “help”

The specially-prepared soil that grows the vines for my grapes is becoming muddy again. I need more of the magical sand from the deserts of Ro to mix with my soil. Bring me that and I will give you some grapes.

Say: “Hail”

Greetings, $name. I hope you are having a fine day.

Say: “hail”

Hello, $name. What can I do for you?

Say: “dark rivers flow east”

So, Rueppy Kutpurse must have sent you. Here, take this case. Be careful, though. You don't want to get caught with that in town. It is illegal to possess such alcohol.

I am sorry, $name. You aren't trustworthy enough yet.

Say: “hail”

Hello. I would shake your hand, but it would [hurt]. Ooooh! Owwy!

Say: “hurt”

I was attacked by the bixies. They swarmed on me!! I think I got too near their queen. I need that honey to make a living! Get me a bandage and I will tell you where all their worker bee's buzz around.

Say: “I need the honeycomb”

If you're looking for the honeycombs, I don't have any right now. I have been unable to get any since I was attacked by the little [buggers]. I will tell you where to get some if you will only get me a bandage for my bites.

Say: “what buggers”

Hello. My brother Joogl is a great bixie hunter. No one can smash bixies like my brother. He is the best. He works for [Kizzie Mintopp].

Say: “who is kizzie mintopp”

Kizzie owns the Herb Shop in Rivervale. She is the keeper of the [honey jum recipe].

Say: “what honey jum recipe”

I do not know, but it tastes good on bixie crunchies. Kizzie makes it with the honeycombs my brother collects from the bixies.

Say: “hail”
