Steamfont Mountains Quests

Say: “hail”

Go away before I sic the clockworks on ya!

Say: “hail”

Greetings

Say: “Hail”

Well met, $name! What brings you out this way? Are you interested in becoming an observer? No, you look like the adventuring type. The wilds of the Steamfont Mountains is as far as my body goes. But through my [duties] as an observer, my mind travels the cosmos.

Say: “duties”

Well, I am quite an accomplished enchanter but most of my time now is spent crafting the magical lenses that enable us to see beyond the ceiling of Norrath and into other realms and dimensions. Say, in your travels have you encountered any [evil eyes]?

Say: “evil eyes”

Evil eyes are dangerous creatures of great magical power. You will know one if you see one. I believe that with the lens from an evil eye and some expert tinkering, I could create a device that will enable me to observe the gods themselves in their native planes. If you were to bring me one of these lenses, the Eldritch Collective would reward you greatly.

Say: “hail”

Thanks for contacting me, $name. Your information on this matter has been most useful.

Hello, $name

Say: “hail”

Unless you have something to tell me about yourself that I could possibly be interested in, be gone!

Say: “hate be my guide”

So you work for Szorn eh? It's about time he sent someone to check up on me! The Koada'Dal in possession of the crate is on his way here right now to cut a deal with me. I have been trying to send word to Szorn for several days to send support as I do not plan on allowing the elf to leave these mountains alive. You have arrived just in time. Kill the elf and the crate is yours!

Say: “wormwood”

Wormwood? Why do you want that? OH nevermind. Here! Take it and leave me alone! You're wasting my valuable time!

Say: “line of work”

Self-employed treasure seeker. I relieve the dead of their valuables after they no longer need them. My efforts aren't appreciated in many places which requires me to practice discreetly. There are some that would call me 'gravedigger', but I don't particularly care for the connotations associated with that moniker. You know, it's funny. . . A Wayfarer trespasses in the hallowed crypts of Mistmoore, plunders their treasure and walks away a hero. I exhume a single fresh corpse and suddenly become a criminal - does that sound like justice to you?

Say: “favor”

Let's get one thing straight, right now, $name. I do NOT work for Stanos, and I do NOT work for you. It's a simple matter of repaying a favor, and I'd suggest you not press the issue lest I change my mind.

Say: “Hail”

Hello $name. Have you ever peered beyond our little world? Somewhere out there in the vast darkness is a world filled with great technology and adventure. Our people should concentrate on reaching these distant worlds beyond the sparkling skies.

Say: “Larkon sent me”

There is much more you must do for the Library of Mechanimagica before such things can be revealed to you. Perhaps fetching minotaur horns and returning them to Professor Theardor will earn you membership to the Library of Mechanimagica. But I suppose if Larkon sent you that you truly wish to prove yourself, eh? You'll have to get your hands a bit dirty, though. Take this box and fill it with livers from those infected rats. We need them for research. Well go on. You can take a bath when you're done.

Say: “lens”

Spare Telescopic Lens?? I am sorry but I don't have any spares right now.. Oh wait!! I do. Here you are my friend. Careful with that. They are very rare.

Say: “hail”

Get out you pesky $race! I don't need any $race germs! Out, ye filthy beast!

Say: “mystical instrument”

I have made many mystical instruments in the past. Each one seemed to be better then the last. I have always had a dream of building the world's best lute, but I have yet to find someone brave enough to gather the components needed to make the instrument.

Say: “components”

To make a mystical lute I will first need to make several pieces. If you bring me the backbone of an ancient fishman, a strong tentacle from one of the long lost amalgyms, and a petrified skull of a lycanthrope I may be able to create the head and neck of the instrument. If you go out and gather these things, make sure to bring me the note I gave you or I might forget who you are. I am getting quite old, you know.

Say: “next pieces”

The next pieces are a little harder to come by than the last set. To make the body of an instrument that will last for ages to come, I need something very special. The scales of a big red dragon and the scales of a big white dragon will make it unbreakable, as well as giving it a unique look. Some metal bits will allow me to hold the body together. Please, if you gather up these things, bring them to me as soon as possible. I have not felt this good in years!

Say: “one more to go”

The lute has a head and body. The only thing missing is a set of strings that will never break! I have heard rumors of a living dead poison dragon in the lands of Kunark. If your were somehow able to get your hands on his guts, I could finish the lute. You would have to bring me the head, the body and the undead dragon gut for lute strings!

Say: “Hail”

Hello. I love to come out and gaze at the sky. Isn't it beautiful?

Say: “mera”

Mera? Sure, I know her. Bright girl. She left here a while ago with one of my new [

Say: “sound capture jars”

The sound capture jar does exactly what it sounds like it does. If you use it properly, you can capture a sound in the jar for use later. I haven't worked out the details about how exactly you might use a sound, but I'm sure I'll figure something out. I have a few with me. They aren't part of my regular inventory, but I can sell you one if you need it for something. Seeing as you're a friend of Mera, I'll let you have it for cost, thirty platinum.

Say: “fancy axe”

What do ye think I am, some sort of fergetful gnome!? Give me a minute, would ya!?' he says, as he looks around scratching his head. 'Ah, yes, me thinks you need a Lightning Core. These lightning cores are only found where the discordant energy flows freely. Seek out these lands and ye shall surely find what you are looking for.

Say: “hail”

Hellooo!! My name is Jogl, master engineer with the Eldrithch Collective. And this here is Charlotte. Pay no mind to her, She won't bite unless you attack me.

Say: “hail”

Quickly! I need your [help]!

Say: “help”

I just received a sample of a new ore mined by the pirates of Broken Skull Rock. Unfortunately, it is not pure enough to conduct the needed experiments. I need several Pristine Ore Samples from within the mines. Are you willing to help me in return for a [favor]?

Say: “favor”

Bah! Don't worry. You'll be rewarded well. Take this Sealed Sack and get three samples. Make sure to combine them. I wouldn't want the samples to oxidize like the last ones.

Say: “Hail”

Eh? Eh?! Talk not now! My [creation] is running wild! Destroy it for me. please! If you do you can keep whatever parts you want from it.

Say: “what creation”

Did you kill it yet? What? Bah! Yes. I made it. Nilit's clockwork it is. I made it to carry my toys to and from Ak'Anon but now it's gone wild and started attacking people. Please. destroy it!

Say: “Hail”

Hello my friend. Good to meet you.

Say: “lens”

Oh my. I have bad news. It was stolen by a dark elf rogue. She fled very quickly. My little legs could not keep up. Here. She dropped this. You must find her. Get it back. We have very few Lenses.

Say: “hail”

BOO! I'm sure you didn't expect to see me here, but you've left quite a trail. Why did you go to all the trouble to get this scrap of parchment? What can be so important about it that Father would risk all for it? No matter, Hanns will figure it out. Now, will you tell me where to find Stanos?

Say: “highpass hold”

Excellent. Stanos shall meet his end, and soon. You, however, will not live another day. Can't have you warning him, now can I?

Say: “Hail”

Greetings! It is good to see a new face out here. I am Tindo Frugrin, observer for the Eldritch Collective.

Say: “lens”

I was hoping you were not the one they sent. I have a slight problem. My brother Bidl Frugrin is holding the lens. He went to Kelethin for a little observation. He has been there for quite some time. I fear he has found the local tavern. He will no doubt spend the day in the forest and every night at the tavern.

Say: “hail”

Just in time! Talwyn said he might be sending me someone to help me with this particular predicament. You see, I need help with this guy here. His battery has gone dry and we can't find a way to recharge it. We think the clockworks of Innovation are powered through some kind of magical energy, different from what is stored in normal batteries. I would like you to use your best electrical magics to try and [resurrect his battery].

Say: “resurrect his battery”

Ok good, but here is the thing, we have to be really careful. I don't want to overcharge the battery, and you will have to cast on it while I am holding the correct wires together. If you don't do it at the right time you will either fry me, or it will be a waste and we will have to start completely over. Let me know when you have cleared your mind, regained your magical strength, and are [ready to start].

Say: “ready to start”

Excellent, then I shall begin performing my work.

Say: “hail”

Well, if it isn't $name. I trust you don't have any unsavory women tailing you again. There's nothing more unnerving than a humie lass armed with poisoned blades. He shivers involuntarily. Still gives me nightmares to this day. But enough about that. I'm certain you didn't seek me out again for small talk. What can I help you with? Recovered any unusual artifacts lately?

Actually, I've been meaning to speak with you about that. When I had time alone to study the Book of Souls, I discovered that there was a section with details on how to utilize the tainted souls. In particular, how to merge them with inanimate objects. Quite interesting light reading. Unfortunately, some of the most important pages had been torn out. I can't imagine who would do such a thing. If you ever come upon these pages, which wouldn't be unusual considering your talent for acquiring unusual artifacts, please allow me to translate them for you. I'd be most interested to find out how this story ends. Oh, and this time, watch your back and don't let any strangers follow you. My heart can't take another surprise from your admirers.

Hail, traveler! I sense you did not simply chance upon my isolation here, but are instead seeking me for something.

Say: “blue orb”

Ah yes, a blue orb composed of strange metal. My studies referred to an artifact such as that. I believe it was once in the hands of a gentleman called Laarthik K'Shin. And Laarthik, he was in the employ of someone or other, hmm. Forgive my poor memory.' His eyes widen suddenly, 'Oh! I do recall that the metal orb could be reforged over extreme heat if you were able to recover every missing piece. That by itself wouldn't be enough though, you'd need a binding element with the same aura. Furthermore, if you don't have all the pieces, melding a piece with several diamonds of bluish hue inside a forge may indicate where the remaining fragments are hidden. The orb wants to be whole again.

Say: “translate”

Oh, if it is written in Eder Teir'Dal, most likely I can translate it. I will be happy to try, in any case. Let me see it, please.

Say: “key”

In the Plane of Hate, where dwell Innoruuk and his minions, there is a tome. This tome is called the Book of Souls.

Say: “book of souls”

The Book of Souls chronicles all the lives Innoruuk has tainted over the years. It is in the care of the Maestro of Rancor. I can use this tome as a basis for my translation, if you return it and the note to me. An experienced practitioner in the art of non-detection should be able to snatch it from its resting place, don't you think, $race?'
