Dialogue
Picking up quest

You "Unless...?"

Vita: "Is it possible she survived? Could she have?"

You "Is it possible who survived? Vita, what are you talking about?"

Vita: "I refuse to say more until I've done some more research. , it's absolutely imperative that you steal the old Mallok scrolls for me. You must retrieve those scrolls for me! Will you?"

You "Absolutely, Vita."

Vita: "There's a feisty fellow I know who can help you, he is the only one I know of who has actually seen the scrolls. His name is Jaco, but he never stays put in any one place for long. He could be anywhere in the lower caverns of Pyrron."

You "I'll find him Vita, and then I'll find the scrolls!"

Vita: "Please hurry, Hershey Pie!"

You lost 1x Mysterious Fang.

Jaco

Jaco: "Less is more. I'm tiny, but I talk loud, and I carry a hot staff."

You "There you are Jaco! I have been looking everywhere! I need to know what you know about the Mallok Scrolls?"

Jaco: "Vita must have sent you... that Brindle always gets me into trouble! And I do know something about the Mallok scrolls: You can't get them! They're locked up safe and sound in Skarn's Belfry. Only little folks like me can sneak in there."

You "Then you could sneak in there for me?"

Jaco: "NO WAY. I am not ever doing that again. But if you really want to try, then don't let me stop you. If I were you I would search the bookcases at the back of of the Belfry, I saw some of the Mallok Scrolls being shelved there... which is sort of the issue..."

You "What do you mean, 'issue'?"

Jaco: "Skarn has a protective enchantment on the bookcases. Once an item is shelved, it can no longer be picked up as long as Skarn lives. Only after you defeat him will the Mallok Scrolls be able to be seen and touched."

You "Thanks for the info Jaco."

Jaco: "If you see Skarn, make sure to NOT mention my name!"

Vita - turning in quest


 * "Well? Were you able to get The Mallok Scrolls?"

1 You "Not quite Vita."


 * "Well take your sweet time I suppose! Geez wiz!"

2 You "Nothing to it!"


 * "Wow really, I thought it would be hard."

You "That was a joke, I climbed through fire and stone to get these. But anyway, yes, I got them! Here they are."


 * "Oh, no. Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no."

You "Oh, what, oh, what, oh, what?"


 * "These scrolls were penned by Mallok himself, and such things he writes of! The horrors he reveled in. Oh, that man."

You "Yes, but what does it say about the serpent creatures, the Sythe?"


 * "Just hold on, I'm reading! According to his own hand, Mallok forbade any of his seven children to join him in the battle against the Legendary Four that day. Now he goes on about how wonderful his brood of demonic kids are...blah...blah...blah...here we go! Sarissa. He adores her 'cunning mind' and her 'deliciously vile penchant for oily subterfuge.'"

You "Way too many adjectives. Mallok was a pretentious writer. Whatever. Vita, does this mean Sarissa is still alive? Is that possible? How have we never seen her all these years?"


 * "Mallok writes of a land he once visited, 'a place of treacherous bogs and oozing mire, where the sodden marshes dripped with foul magic, and an eerie madness of old.' It was to this place that his fourth child was drawn to most. It called to her, so Mallok bade Sarissa to go."

You "Go on."


 * "He writes, too, that...oh, no! Mallok had a premonition about his death, and also about his rebirth. You know what this means, don't you, ?"

You "Yes. It means that I have got to find that missing shard of Henosis before Pyrrus does so that I can stop Mallok from ever being resurrected!"


 * "Exactly! Save us all, . May the Brindles bless you."

You lost 1x The Mallok Scrolls. Gained 2.3m experience!
