Sleeping Dragons

Prerequisite
 * Cold Shoulders

NPC

Walkthrough This is a chain quest
 * First talk to Mowbray H3 and he tells you to talk toNyn.
 * Nyn will make me 2 Single Dose of Paranoia Bug Repellant. Ingredients are:
 * 15 Floating Embers, dropped by killing the drakes
 * 12 Lump of Logician Lead, look for the Sophist Stone, close to Balfour's Lair.
 * 10 Sanecap Mushroom.
 * Give the ingredients to Nyn and she'll ask you to drink one of the Single Dose of Paranoia Bug Repellant and to give the other one to Mowbray.
 * Now Mowbray will tell you more about the other half of the locket. He tells you Sapphira owned it. He wants me to kill Mabina in The Corkle Woods bring him the Cryptic Bloodstained Arrow she drops.
 * He can't read what is on the arrow but he's sure that Clannox (E2) can decipher the carvings.
 * Unfortunately he can't see anything without his eye drops: Clannox's Eye Drops. So kill Harakus and retrieve the eyes.
 * Now Clannox read the carvings and tells you the arrow belonged to Aron of the Dunsmuir Clan. (ghost (D/E 7))
 * Give him his arrow = Cryptic Bloodstained Arrow.
 * After telling his part of the story he wants you to lill Lixarrin and see if he drops anything = Avrilla's Stone Ointment, take it.
 * Find the one who needs the ointment = Avrilla = D/E8 = in Lixarrin's Lair. She gives you her secret key: Avrilla's Secret Key and tells you to find the hidden door.
 * Hidden door = (F8) Enter the room and turn to the right side: the middle door (East side of the room) (just run your toon into the door and you will be warped). You'll find the Benefactress here. Finally she'll tell you that she is actually Sapphira. Give her her locket.
 * Keep talking to her to find out what your next quest is: The Beginning Of The End.

Dialogue
Fargo


 * "You made it, !"

You "Um, thanks? But how do you know who I am if you're blind?"


 * "I don't, but I'm a wonderful guesser. And also because you're being watched by a friend who instructed me to give you this half broken locket. Lord Pyrrus is ignorant of this locket's existence, and believes it to have been lost many years ago."

You received Half-broken Locket!

You "Someone's been spying on me? Watching me? Are they watching me right now? I feel eyes on me. Eyes everywhere! Sizing me up. Taking me in. Stop it!"


 * "Easy does it, . Try not to get too paranoid. That can happen here in this place. When Pyrrus woke the beasts, he was only too delighted by their unending fire, and has since turned this burning inferno into his private sanctuary, for it perfectly reflects his fury and wrath. But other creatures have gravitated here, too. Evil things that breed suspicion and fear."

You "You're one of them, aren't you? Admit it! You're all whispering about me right now. Plotting against me. Well, I've got a dagger with your name on it, little Brindle man!"


 * "No, , no! I'm not the enemy! Now try to focus! You must learn the identity of the person who owned that half broken locket, and return it to them. For when you do, this person will be of great aid to you when the time comes for you to at last face Lord Pyrrus. Will you do this, ?"

You "Hmm. Well, I don't trust you any, but, yes, I will."


 * "Talk to a Brindle named Mowbray. He's paranoid, too, but he does know a few real secrets, regardless of the ones he imagines he knows."

You "I'm on it. Farewell, sneaky Brindle."


 * "Good luck, ."

Mowbray


 * "There was a fifth swordsman, I just know it. It wasn't the Legendary Four, it was the Legendary Five! Can't prove it yet, but I will. And the Crystal Lady was actually a man. The Crystal Man. This is a fact! Can't prove it yet, but I will."

You "Sounds like you have a few conspiracy theories going, Mowbray. So what can you tell me about this mysterious half broken locket I have here?"


 * "Not in the river. Not in the river. Did I tell you about the fifth swordsman?"

You "You sure did. Maybe I'll just chat with your sister, Nyn, now."


 * "Did I tell you about the fifth swordsman?"

Nyn


 * "Some bad venom in those paranoia bugs. Mowbray really got bit. Uh-oh. I see you've got a few bites, too."

1 You "You're in on it aren't you? In cahoots with those other sneaky Brindles? You are!"


 * ", you need some repellant from the paranoia bugs, and you'd best get some for Mowbray, too, if you want any real truths from him. Bring me the necessary ingredients, and I'll whip up a nice, thick, repelling paste. Coat you both with some sense, I will."

You "Fine. What are the ingredients? But this doesn't mean that I trust you any!"


 * "Understood. The ingredients are rare, and found only here in the Sanctorium. Bring me 10 Sanecap Mushrooms, 12 lumps of Logician Lead which can be mined from the Sophist Stone near Balfour's Lair, and 15 Floating Embers dropped by Fiery Fibbs."

You "On it. Bye."


 * "Good luck, . Now please get those paranoia bugs away from me!"

2 You "No, it was you! I know it!"


 * "Oh boy, yea you are infected. Get away."

Nyn


 * "Have you what I need so I can whip up the repellant?"

You "Yes. Here are 15 Floating Embers, 10 Sanecap Mushrooms, and 12 lumps of Logician Lead mined from the Sophist Stone."


 * "Nothin' to it! Now here are two vials of Paranoia Bug Repellant Paste for you. Consume one, don't mind the lumpy taste, and give the other to Mowbray. You'll get some real truths out of him if you do, I promise."

You "Thanks. Bye."


 * "Drink that up!"

You received Single Dose of Paranoia Bug Repellant!

You received Mowbray's Dose of Paranoia Bug Repellant!

You lost 12x Lump of Logician Lead.

You lost 15x Floating Embers.

You lost 10x Sanecap Mushroom.

Mowbray


 * "I smell bug paste on your breath."

You "Your nose is correct. Now Here you go, Mowbray, eat up! And then please tell me what you know about this half broken locket."


 * "This partial locket belonged to Sapphira, who wore it around her neck always. Her brother wears the other half. But this locket was not lost in the river with Sapphira all those years ago as Lord Pyrrus believes, for not a drop of water ever touched the girl."

You lost 1x Mowbray's Dose of Paranoia Bug Repellant.

You "Hold on. This isn't one of your conspiracy theories? Are you telling me that Sapphira did not drown in the river after all?"


 * "The child lived. And it was an arrow that saved her. That arrow has since fallen into the hands of a nasty conjurer named Mabina, who has lately taken up residence in the Corkle Woods. If you could get that arrow, there is a creature here who could decipher the markings upon it, which would help you learn the rest of Sapphira's story."

You "I already have that arrow! What is the name of the creature here who can read the writing on it?"


 * "An aged magma elemental by the name of Clannox can decipher the arrow's markings. Good luck, !"

You "Thanks. I'll find him."


 * "Good luck."

Clannox


 * "Your garb is...what is the word?"

You "Flammable?"


 * "Blurry. Ever since Harakus stole my eye drops, I can see little."

You "Clannox, I really need you to decipher the strange markings on this arrow here, and Mowbray says you're the only one who can do it."


 * "Not if I can't see. Defeat Harakus. Bring me my eye drops, and then I'll read the lettering on the arrow for you. But be careful. For as you said, your garb is flammable."

You "Gotcha. Okay, I'm on it."


 * "Hurry please."


 * "Is that you, ? You're blurrier than ever."

You "Well, not for long, Clannox! I've got your eye drops for you. And now you can decipher the markings on this arrow for me."


 * "Ah, I know these markings well, though it has been many years since I have seen them. This is the crest of the Dunsmuir clan. They were a group of thieves who often etched their family crest upon their stolen loot. This arrow belonged to Aron of the Dunsmuir Clan."

You "Interesting. But how does this help me figure out what happened to Sapphira?"


 * "Well, obviously, you need to go talk to Aron. He's a ghost here who haunts the lair of the beast who killed him. Follow the lava falls south. Good luck, !"

You "Thank you."


 * "Goodbye."

You lost 1x Clannox's Eye Drops.

Aron


 * "Took you long enough."

You "And, hello, to you, too."


 * "I have been instructed to tell you the details of my death. But first, may I have my arrow back please? It's been a long time since I've laid eyes upon the Dunsmuir family crest."

You "Yes here it is."


 * "I was in the woods the day the hunters attacked the two children. A huntress chased the little girl, Sapphira, into a thicket, and I followed them. It all happened so quickly after that. A dragon lunged from the sky. He devoured the huntress, and then went for the little girl. So I shot this arrow at the dragon."

You "The dried blood is from a dragon! Not Sapphira!"


 * "Of course! But the arrow barely pierced his hide. I had no more weapons on me, only a satchel full of stolen magics, most of which I knew little about, except for one spell. And this I used on the little girl. As the dragon lunged at her, I hurled a Vanishing Spell at her. The spell worked. The child instantly vanished from the clutches of the dragon."

You "You saved her life! Where did the Vanishing spell transport little Sapphira to?"


 * "I never found out, nor could I ever bring her back, because the dragon killed me a few seconds later. That same beast dwells here with his brethren, where they have slept since the demise of Mallok. The dragons all awoke with the rise of Pyrrus. And now, , I must ask you to avenge my death! If you kill the dragon called Lixarrin, the current whereabouts of Sapphira will be revealed to you."

You "How do you know that killing Lixarrin will help me in my quest?"


 * "It's a ghost thing. We just sort of know things, but not well. It's sort of like how you can see me, but not very well. It's a whole thing, you should just do it."

You "I will absolutely do this then. Farewell, Aron!"


 * "Good luck, ."

You lost 1x Cryptic Bloodstained Arrow.

Avrilla


 * "Who are you to be here?"

You "I am not sure, but I have your ointment I think?"


 * "Well done, ! Sapphira told me you would have my ointment for me. Please give it to me now, and in exchange I will present you with a secret key."

You "I still can't believe Sapphira is alive! So what does this key unlock?"


 * "It unlocks the door to the secret room, where Sapphira is currently waiting for you. The door is well hidden. But if you search carefully, you will find it."

You "Thanks. I will find her!"


 * "Take care, ."

You received Avrilla's Secret Key!

You lost 1x Avrilla's Stone Ointment.

The Benefactress


 * "Hello, ."

You "Benefactress? What are you doing here?"


 * "You once asked me what my real name was, and I withheld it. I needed to know beyond all doubt that you were a hero upon whom I could rely. I now know that I can. So please allow me to formally introduce myself. My name is Sapphira De'Brun, Sister to Sebastian De'Brun, the one you know as Lord Pyrrus."

You "WHAT? You are Sapphira? You are Lord Pyrrus' sister!"


 * "I apologize for the deception, but I had to be careful."

You "So what happened after Aron put the Vanishing Spell on you in the Corkle Woods all those years ago?"


 * "I awoke in a strange swamp land, the likes of which I had never seen. I was frightened and confused, and filled with such grief, for I believed my loving brother, Sebastian, to have been killed by the hunters that day. A wandering priestess eventually found me, and raised me. Then when evil Mallok was defeated in the Great Battle, we joined the others in the newly formed village of Ardent."

You "Go on."


 * "It was in the midst of the civil war that I learned, not only that Pyrrus was Mallok's protege and the true villain behind all the bloodshed in Ardent, but that he was in fact my brother. I discovered the sculptor's journals outlining his heinous crimes, and then found something else in his home. A half broken locket that fit perfectly with my own. I knew then that Sebastian was Pyrrus, and his journals only confirmed it."

You "And Pyrrus still believes you're dead?"


 * "Yes. I followed him here after Imogen's death, intent on revealing myself for I naively believed that there was still some goodness left in my brother, and that he could be saved. But when he transformed himself into a stone monster and murdered Queen Eleria, I knew my sweet Sebastian was truly dead. Lord Pyrrus is no brother of mine. I have waited a long time for a hero to arrive who was strong enough to defeat him."

You "Me! I'm that hero!"


 * "I believe you have my locket for me? I had great faith that you would place it in my hands again when I gave the locket to Fargo for you to give me. For you are indeed that hero, . And I have a final history relic that I'd like to offer you in return."

1.1 You "I have your locket here."
 * "In light of everything you have done, it seems cruel to ask more of you... but we are on the cusp of overturning Pyrrus once and for all."

You lost 1x Half-broken Locket.

[Quest complete]

1.2 You "I seem to have misplaced your locket, I will find it."


 * "Possibly Fargo has it still."

2 You "Can you return me back to the floor of the Sanctorium."
