Ranger and AQ3D Lead Programmer
When Artix and I began building AdventureQuest Worlds, we did something almost no one else was doing. I ranged far and wide to learn the code we’d need. It’s thanks to you we were able to build it then, and because of you, we can keep it going for many more years.
Master Ranger
Greetings, hero. What are you doing here in Cave of Wanders? Just exploring? Please come and see me outside the Sandsea Oasis Village when you are done. I have a task for you.
After completing the 'Seek The Treasure' quest:
Master Ranger
Sek-Duat has slipped away! That mummy had us running in circles just to keep us occupied! How could I have been so stupid. He will have followed you to the chamber with the lamp in it. I have a plan but we don't have much time so listen carefully…
After completing the 'I Dream of...' quest:
Master Ranger
It's hard to say how long the Dreamsand will stay in the system of someone without a pulse. It might be years… or more. At least we know that Sek-Duat is happy and won't cause anyone any trouble for a long while. Now that we have our own Djinn we are a match for Zahart. Meet you back in the Oasis.
Master Ranger
I heard a rumor on the wind. You seek a scrap of paper, inscribed with the wish of a princess? Yes. It was plucked out of the sky by one of the many hands of the Kalestri Worshippers.
Zhoom
Wow, Hero! It is so GOOD to be back at Yulgar's Inn! I've been stuck in the desert for YEARS. I can't remember the last time I had a cold, frothy glass of moglinberry juice. But, can you believe it, while I was gone, the Zardmen stole my map and key…AGAIN! I am in need of a Beta Berserker to recover it for me. If you do… I will give you the Beta Berserker and Dark Berserker Armors. If you are not… I have another request… and reward.
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
Welcome to The Sandsea, hero. The Sandsea Oasis Village was once the only thing you could see for miles other than the Sek Duat Dynasty pyramids but a massive sand storm revealed much more. The village sits on a forgotten city that was swallowed up by the sands. Meet me in the Sand Port as soon as you can. No time to waste.
Talk
I am Zhoom, master tracker and ranger. If you hire me to find someone or something for you… I will find it, no matter how long it takes or what I must do. In the past I would take on any job but a friend showed me that I must choose my battles more carefully or else innocents may get hurt.I owe the people of the Sandsea Oasis Village much. My mother was the last true sand elf, and after Sek Duat hunted my people to near extinction, the people of this village protected my mother and me. I learned everything I know of tracking from running from Sek Duat's guards when I was a young half-sand elf on the streets.
Now I spend my time going between here and Battleon…. Maybe you've seen me in Yulgar's Inn? My services are still for hire but I try to spend my time helping the people of the Sandsea. Since the evil Sek Duat XV vanished, life has been happier here, but the great sandstorm uncovered ancient dangers and I must take up my bow again.

After completing the 'Sell-Sword Sell-Outs' quest:
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
Welcome to The Sandsea, hero. The Sandsea Oasis Village was once the only thing you could see for miles other than the Sek Duat Dynasty pyramids but a massive sand storm revealed much more. The village sits on a forgotten city that was swallowed up by the sands. We must now travel to the Sek-Duat Dynasty Pyramids to search for the immortal god-king. Let us be on our way.
After completing the 'Confront Duat' quest:
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
Now that we have Sek-Duat, he has agreed to lead us to the Cave of Wanders where (if you believe him) there is hidden a magic lamp with its own Djinn inside. Remember, hero… Sek-Duat cannot be trusted. We must be prepared for him to betray us at any time. Meet you in the Cave of Wanders.
After completing the 'I Dream of...' quest:
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
A Sand Castle has suddenly appeared in the dunes. I believe it must have been the sand castle of Adofo which has been magically hidden for centuries. I suspect Zahart used Tibicenas to reveal for him. Let's head to the desert and try out that magic lamp. If we are fortunate, this new Djinn will solve all of our problems! We have to stop Zahart… his power and his greed appear to be growing in proportion.
After completing the 'Enter the Sphinx' quest:
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
Are you prepared to enter the Djinn World? Saahir says that we will probaby have to prove our worthiness to The Efreet before he will even listen to our tale so prepare yourself for anything. Who knows what The Efreet might ask of us. Saahir has opened the portal to the Djinn World to the south of the oasis.
After completing the 'Chaos Lord Tibicenas' quest:
Ranger / Sandsea Reputation Vendor
I will strive to be as worthy a ruler of the SandSea as I believe you would have been. Go with my- with all of our- thanks, Hero. You have freed us from tyranny; your name will be remembered in our harsh but beautiful desert for generations to come.

Master Ranger
We have not yet searched the rest of the Oasis thoroughly enough, Hero. Return here once you have explored the rest of the area.
After completing the 'I Dream of...' quest:
Master Ranger
We've searched all across the Oasis for Zahart. This is the last place he could be hiding. But rushing in without reconnaissance is the way of the unwise ranger. I will interrogate the town's inhabitants about this place while you see what you can find inside.
After completing the 'Enter the Sphinx' quest:
Master Ranger
We have taken care of his muscle. Now it's time to pit ourselves against Tibicenas, Zahart and whatever his twisted mind can come up with! The fate of Sandsea- of all of Lore- depends on us.
Master Ranger
It seems that this city once had a port. It must have been located on a river. Now the oasis is the only water for miles. I've tracked a hedge-mage named Zahart to this area. I don't know what he's doing here but he's rotten to his core and I have a feeling that he knows what was behind this strange sandstorm. We must find him and question him.
After completing the 'Sell-Sword Sell-Outs' quest:
Master Ranger
Its hard to believe that Zahart is now commanding a mighty Djinn. This is not good. Meet me back in the Oasis Village. The god-king has gone into hiding and if we are to find Sek Duat, I must check some leads in town.
Master Ranger
Hero, it doesn't look like anything is going here… yet… Head back to the Oasis and await further instructions. There are other matters that need to be addressed first.
After completing the 'Sell-Sword Sell-Outs' quest:
Master Ranger
Welcome to Sek-Duat Dynasty Pyramids, Hero. These pyramids are as old as the Sandsea itself, ruled under the almighty power of the god-king Sek-Duat. I have my suspicious that he is hiding somewhere within this pyramid. If we can reach the chamber of Sek-Duat… peharps we can get some insight on how to defeat Zahart and his Djinn…
Talk
Sek-Duat has ruled the Sandsea from these Pyramids. They are the home of his ancient Dynasty… or so the people of the Sandsea thought. He was made into a Mummy over 1,200 years ago and has posed as his own son, handling the crown to himself 15 times over the years.In the not so distant past, I lead a rebellion against the god-king. And with the help of fabled dragon heroes, we were able to take a big part of Sek-Duat's power away. Most believe he is dead. But I KNOW he still lives on… somewhere…
With the rise of Zahart and his Djinn, we have no choice but to find Sek-Duat. Dead… alive… somewhere in between… Sek-Duat will be of use to us in one way or another. Now it's all a matter of finding him…
After completing the 'Confront Duat' quest:
Master Ranger
Because hunting down Sek-Duat wasn't hard enough… now we have to find a Djinn. This is not going to be easy. Let us head back to the Oasis. There is nothing else that can be done here.

Sandsea Ranger, Programmer
I don't like them ninjas. I like to look invaders in the eyes before I slay them. Makes it easier to recognize them if they come back. I don't like them undead, either.
