Survival of the Deadliest

Committing murder or claiming self defense, same things, just different afterthoughts. In the heat of battle, none of that matters, it is the enemy or your life. The Dark Makai are jaded, having long served as Nulgath's grunts. Many have fled Tercessuinotlim carrying with them the foul smell of rebellion. Make your first lesson in Makai survival a hands on experience and teach those terrors their place on the totem pole.

+ When Completed

Well done poor soul, you managed to kill a quarter of a hundred beasts without a second thought. No questions asked, just destruction. Is this slaying some sort of sugar high to you? No matter, it is necessary to understand the Makai before crushing them.

What's a Knife Without Knowledge

Requirements: Must have Makai Backbone in your inventory.

I can see why Nulgath has taken a liking to you, this fight puts a fire in your eyes. Before continuing to slay the Makai, it's time to learn what makes them tick. Bring back enough body fixtures to make me a frightening face mask.

+ When Completed

Search for the Scrolls

Requirements: Must have Makai Funnybone in your inventory.

windle travels all over Lore scamming heroes and stealing intel. A few trips back he told me all about these ancient scrolls he found on a Dark Makai. It seemed useless then, but now, this information could disrupt the whole rebellion.

You could search for the scroll on monsters all around Lore or could give me a few items to barter the exact scroll location back into Swindle's memory. If you think bartering is the way to go, check my next quest.

+ When Completed

Knowledge is power. The power to make foes kneel before you. Talk to me to review these scrolls, just don't take them out of my sight.

• Retrieved Makai Scroll x1
  • Dropped by Lich of the Stone (Monster)

Rewards:

• 1,000 Gold
• 2,000 Exp

Items:

• Scroll Key

Thanks to Rich Wind and Van Fanel.

Time is Money

Simply an option quest for the lazy: If you don't wish to take the time to search monsters for the scrolls, then you may bribe Swindle for the exact location. Since he's got quite high standards, here's one of the few bribes he'll accept:

+ When Completed

Swindle says he saw the scrolls on the Lich of the Stone in Darkovia Forest and something about how excited he was for more bag of dirt rewards for Lore's dirtbags. Know what he's going on with that?

Items Required:

• Unidentified 10: "Bag of Dirt" x1
• Fiend Token x5

Rewards:

• 1 Gold
• 50 Exp

Items:

• Scroll Location

Side By Side

Requirements: Must have Scroll Key in your inventory.

Looks like the scrolls reveal the Makai to be of moglin descent…Interesting, I wondered what could have tainted such a loveable species. As these creatures appear to be the Moglin's polar opposite, a few tests are needed to confirm their true nature. Grab me 10 Makai prisoners, and 1 Evil Moglin from BattleOff for good measure.

+ When Completed

Funny, one of these Makai seems to still stand tall, even after imprisonment… I'll enjoy breaking his spirit first. Anyway, that's 10 things to test and 1 Moglin for a late night snack. What? All this hacking and slashing builds up a Blood Void's appetite. Think positively, I could have devoured you.

Items Required:

• Metal Prisoners x10
  • Dropped by Dark Makai (Level 25)
• Evil Moglin x1
  • Dropped by Evil Moglin

Rewards:

• 1,250 Gold
• 75 Exp

Thanks to Rich Wind and Van Fanel.

Chain Reaction

Requirements: Must have Scroll Key in your inventory.

The knowledge gained here could make or break the rebellion. Moglins most defining features are the ability of their hug's to heal, sugar induced candy crazes, and a disgustingly cute appearance. Let's see how the Dark Makai match up to these characteristics. Borrow a few chains from Dilligaf's swords in /join Underworld for some "completely humane" Makai testing. What's the worst that can happen?

+ When Completed

Bad-ish news hero. Looks like the Dark Makai no longer want to free themselves from Nulgath's oppression. Instead, they are dead set on destroying Nulgath's entire empire! All this because one of the Dark Makai you captured and I killed in testing was their leader. Good going hero, you just had to imprison royalty. Some Makai peasant wasn't enough for you.

Items Required:

• Chain Pair x5
  • Dropped by Dilligas (Monster)

Rewards:

• 500 Gold
• 500 Exp

Thanks to Rich Wind and Van Fanel.

An Inside Job

Requirements: Must have Scroll Key in your inventory.

I signed up to mentor a hero, not be slaughtered by a Makai horde. The only hope of stopping these beasts lies with Nulgath's loyal double-agent. Seek out the Dark Makai Verick deep down in the sewers for assistance.

+ When Completed

HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!

Items Required:

• Verick's ID x1
  • Click on Verick in Swordhaven Sewer

Rewards:

Quests Begun From: Carnage (NPC)
Note: These quests can only be completed once.

Fairweather Elementals

We stand in the Temple of Light's courtyard. The building itself is currently sealed by powerful light magic. Go down the Eastern path and see for yourself. The Impersonator left their dirty handprints all over the front doors when they arrived and blew through the Temple's initial defenses. On the way there, you'll run into the stragglers - Light Elementals. They'll think you're one of the invaders. Take them out or they'll be a nuisance.

+ When Completed

It's rare to see this specific variety of Light Elemental outside of their Plane. Going by the accounts of the evacuees we captured, the Elementals did not appear until after the doors were sealed. None of these witnesses were of high rank, so it was a waste to interrogate them further. What you have to say is far more interesting. The Temple's doors felt looser after you fought off those elementals? That will be our first lead.

Items Required:

• Solidified Light x8
  • Dropped by Light Elemental (Level 55)
• Investigate Temple's Doors x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 2

Rewards:

• 5,000 Gold
• 25,000 Exp

In Case of Emergency

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

I assumed the paladins wandering the courtyard had broken through the front gate to meddle in our affairs. The members of the Nation surrounding the Temple reported that no one, save for you, has been allowed beyond the gate. Then what are they doing here? And why do they look like light bulbs with limbs? You and I will subdue these odd paladins. Perhaps that will serve to loosen the Temple's seal as well.

+ When Completed

There are runes sewn into the paladins' sashes. Complicated sorcery can be woven into the clothes of common warriors. It allows them access to spells they would not otherwise have the ability to cast. Whatever this spell may be, it imbued the paladins' bodies with a light similar to that of the Empress'. Even a fraction of her potential would savage the darkness. For mortals, this power seems to cost them control of their body and mind.

Items Required:

• Paladin's Sash x6
  • Dropped by Overdriven Paladin

Rewards:

• 5,000 Gold
• 25,000 Exp

Blind Devotion

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

The more elementals and paladins we defeat, the weaker the seal on the Temple's doors becomes. They are part of the spell that keeps the invaders trapped. Ha, the clerics feared the Imposter so much that they were willing to tether the lives of their own to the seal. Tch, the alliance is still active, so I can't use this as an excuse to slay them. Knocking the paladins unconscious and banishing the Elementals will have to suffice.

+ When Completed

The seal is broken and we can now enter the Temple. Though we refrained from taking lives, seeing the paladins writhing on the ground makes me believe that killing them would be a mercy. The light has left the paladins' bodies, and took their faculties with it. Stepping on their limbs garners no response. They just drool and stare blankly at the sky. Heh, they made their choice. The Light asked for their devotion and they willingly gave it.

Items Required:

• Dented Armor x5
  • Dropped by Overdriven Paladin
• Elemental Core x5
  • Dropped by Light Elemental (Level 55)

Rewards:

• 5,000 Gold
• 25,000 Exp

Blessed Visage

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

There was more than one seal. Beyond those arrogant fixtures depicting the Avatar of Light is the path to the Temple's inner sanctum. Currently, it's inaccessible, and the layout of the Temple is…unexpected. This looks nothing like the original Temple of Light. Jadzia, the Nation's Loremaster, has arrived under the orders of Master Nulgath. She has gone inside the temple. Go, speak with her and take a closer look at the Temple's fixtures.

+ When Completed

Not only must we contend with an Imposter, but the Temple of Light itself…is suspicious. It is not that the Light is conspiring against my Master and our allies. At least, not at this very moment. But this behavior is markedly different from their activities in the recent past. A change in image, you say? True, the way they present themselves remains righteous, but now they're burning that idea into our retinas like it's a threat.

Items Required:

• Talk to Jadzia x1
  • Talk to Jadzia
• Queen's Statue Investigated x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 1
• Avatar's Statue Investigated x1
  • Click on the blue arrow on Screen 3

Rewards:

• 5,000 Exp

Banging on Light's Door

Requirements: Must have completed the previous quest.

Though the behavior of the Light's followers will warrant surveillance, I will lead that task after the Imposter is eviscerated. The first seal crumbled after a sufficient amount of paladins and elementals were defeated. We will subdue them again, and see if the second seal will dissolve in the same manner. There seems to be no end to the Light's followers. What a nuisance.

+ When Completed

Enough. The seal on the entrance to the Temple's inner sanctum was significantly stronger than the first. I barely see a difference. The clerics focused most of their energy on this spell, and the Imposter will die of old age before we reach them. Or, they will have a sufficient amount of time to find what they are looking for in the Temple, and use it against us. We must wait for my Master's return.

Items Required:

• Engraved Vambrace x3
  • Dropped by Overdriven Paladin
• Elemental Bracelet x3
  • Dropped by Light Elemental (Level 55)

Rewards:

• 5,000 Gold
• 25,000 Exp
