# Dec 02 2002 at 11:17 AM Rating: Decent
If you can find him alive, he asks for the head of Tormax. Does anyone have any info on this quest?

[Fri Nov 29 19:59:26 2002] You say, 'Hail, Lorekeeper Gundlt'
[Fri Nov 29 19:59:26 2002] Lorekeeper Gundlt says 'Ahem....yes, hail. I suppose that would suffice in this case. Well, then, hail to you, sir. I am Lorekeeper Gundlt, master keeper of etiquette. It is my duty, as ordained by the Grand Historian, to keep all records and rules on all royal audiences and dealings.'
[Fri Nov 29 19:59:34 2002] You say, 'What rules on all royal audiences and dealings?'
[Fri Nov 29 19:59:34 2002] Lorekeeper Gundlt says 'Why, Frostreaver IV, of course!. All who wish an audience must first consult with me to be educated on the proper way to address our great Dain. Do you wish an audience with the crown?'
[Fri Nov 29 19:59:42 2002] You say, 'I wish an audience with the crown.'
[Fri Nov 29 19:59:42 2002] Lorekeeper Gundlt says 'Very well, then. When you approach our king you must keep your head bowed and eyes focused approximately 5 to 6 feet in front of you. When you first see the boots of our Lord you must kneel before him and touch your forehead to your knee. At this point you may rise and address the king. He will not respond to the popular and mundane "Hail." You must say, 'Greetings and good fortune to you, honored Dain Frostreaver IV.' Remember to mind your manners when in the presence of the Dain for his guards are fiercely protective of him.'

[Fri Nov 29 19:56:30 2002] Dain Frostreaver IV regards you as an ally -- what would you like your tombstone to say?
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:39 2002] You say, 'Hail, Dain Frostreaver IV'
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:39 2002] Chamberlain Krystorf says 'YOU do not speak to the Dain so formally, Iksar! Maybe you should return to our temple to learn more of proper custom when in the presence of a Dain of Thurgadin.'
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:40 2002] Chamberlain Krystorf begins to cast a spell.
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:41 2002] Dain Frostreaver IV is surrounded by an aura of Divine Favor.

[Fri Nov 29 19:56:45 2002] Dain Frostreaver IV says 'Greetin's and good fortune to yerself, Iksar. Chamberlain Krystorf speaks highly of the deeds you have performed for our people and so I welcome you to my Keep. I ask you now to take up a most dangerous duty for our people. Would you accept such a challenge from the King of a people not your own?'
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:52 2002] You say, 'I will accept such a challange.'
[Fri Nov 29 19:56:52 2002] Dain Frostreaver IV smiles at you with pride and says, 'Something told me you would, (Insert players name here). For years upon years the plagues of King Tormax have been unleashed upon my people. And indeed it was also by Tormax's hand that me own father, Dain Frostreaver the Third was slain. My attempts at assassinating him have only met with failure, and our forces, while strong, are not yet mighty enough to assault Kael Drakkel. Therefore I have ye and yer companions as my last hope, (Insert players name here). Kill that ******* who calls himself King Tormax. . .and bring me his head!

#REDACTED, Posted: Jul 10 2002 at 12:33 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I hailed Dain, (Warmly) he said Bla bla bla Bring me King's Tormax's Head, Any one know what do you get if you Turn in KT's head to Dain?
#REDACTED, Posted: Aug 11 2002 at 6:47 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) You would be a liar sir. If you hail Dain, he doesn't say anything, even with ally faction. The Chancelor next to him will tell you to "not speak to Dain in such a manner" or something similar. The only person that takes King Tormax's head is Lord Yelinak in Skyshrine.

I think Dain would be a good fight against Tormax. If Dain and Yelinak and Tormax went at it who would come out as victor? My guess is dain.
RE: T0doda
# Apr 12 2003 at 11:43 AM Rating: Default
yelinak would win no problem. they both hate the giants more than they hate each other, so that would put tormax out of the picture first... now yelinak is undoubtedly smarter than the dain, so he'd hold back in the fight with tormax and swat out the dain when tormax is finished.

seeing as how they cant all hit each other equally, it would just be whoever has the most life left after the first one dies. (not quite that simple, but still)
RE: T0doda
# Jul 22 2002 at 3:09 PM Rating: Decent
Yeli would beat the other 2 1 on 1 but you see a 3 way fight isnt necesarily about who is the strongest.

I love dwarfs and it saddens me to know that King Tormax or Yelinak could beat the **** out of this punk, I aint ever tanked Dain but i have Tormax and the ***** quads for a ******** more then 425 lol but I do enjoy dwarfs more they should make this guy harder. Btw the loots off this guy suck **** for his difficulty level.
RE: Littleman
# Jun 23 2002 at 11:06 AM Rating: Default
I cant stop from laughing, oviously you have never fought dain. 425 dain is actually more difficult of a fight then tormax. You have first mabey the hardest pull in the game( if your expecting a solo pull that is). Then you have to keep dain pinned in a corner, and to top it all off, you can MT the him. He has a knockback proc ( single target) every 15seconds or so, that sends whoever has aggro into a well. During this time he can take out a few melee if you dont have good clerics who are assist healing dain. Its also a long fight, and usually when my guild kills him, we lack the numbers at the end so its even longer. Dain 325 isnt quite as hard as tormax, but theres still room for error... but all around my favorite fight in the game = dain :)

First off Dain is a VERY hard pull and the hardest I have seen or been involved with. He can be single pulled after all of his guards are dead (LOL). You dont have to put dain in a corner at all. There is no reason to. In fact I would suspect that would REALLY hurt your rogues unless they all have Chaotic Stab. Each group should IDEALLY have a cleric or two other priest classes if not a cleric for each group. And there is no 325 Dain just 350 and 425 but I suspect that was just a typo =P And I belive it is a 30 second proc not a 15 second one.

Did I mention that he hits A LOT faster then tormax, he could probally get 9 attacks in for every 4 tormax got in. And when hes bugged on my cpu ( human form) its VERY easy to lose him

There are 3 groups of "city" type factions in the land of Velious.

Dorf (Coldian, King Dain)
Giants (Kromrif, Kromzek and King Toramx (sp)
Dragons (Claws of Veeshan and Lord Yelinak)

[+ is increase in the Factions, - is decrease. The more + or - the Greater the Faction hit]

Keeling Normal Dorfs (GD, EW, Thrug)
+ Kromrif, Kromzek
-Coldian, King dain

Keeling Royal Dorfs (Icewell)
++ Kromrif, Kromzek, King Tormax
-- Coldian, King Dain

Keeling Kromrif (GD, EW, Iceclad, Keal, WL)
+ Coldian, Claws of Veeshan
- Kromrif, Kromzek

Keeling Kromzek (Keal)
++ Coldian, Claw of Veeshan. And I think King Dian and Yelinak.
-- Kromrif, Kromzek, King Tormax

Keeling Dragons (WW, ToV, Wuoshi, SS)
++ Kromzek
-- Claw of Veeshen, Yelinak.

Keeling Dragons in the East wing in ToV doesn't make you loss Dragon Factions. It's called the Halls of Testing or something, with is there for you to kill Dragons to get armor peice to get the Dragon faction armor
Killing any named guy from any of those factions is a big time hit of Factions. For example the King Dian would be

Keeling King Dain (Icewell)
+++++ Kromrif, Kromzek, King Tormax
----- Coldian, King Dain
Killing him can pretty much bring a 100% sure way to make yourself KoS with Dorfs and liked by Giants.

Dain VS. Vindicator
# Apr 20 2002 at 4:14 PM Rating: Default
Which is harder to take down?
RE: Dain VS. Vindicator
# Apr 21 2002 at 4:00 PM Rating: Decent
Dain by a long shot, Dain is so hard because it is so hard to control agro, he will banish your tanks making impossible to have steady healing on anyone, and also because he is small you have to be relatively close to attacking him making prox aggro very hard and he has more HP than vindi..most everyone would consider hard dain harder than tmax mainly because of the reasons mentioned above, but the dmg output on hard dain makes a large difference when compared to ez dain cuz it will allow him to chew up a hvy dmg dealer or 2 between each banishing.
RE: Dain VS. Vindicator
# May 14 2002 at 3:41 PM Rating: Decent
Don't forget that you have to fight dain in EXACTLY the right spot in the well (if you choose to fight there wich I think everyone does) or you'll get lots of adds. Level 57 royal guards and the level 65 senechal will come to play. Not fun at all. DtV is deffinatly a pansy when compared to dain. Especialy the 425 dain.
#Anonymous, Posted: Apr 10 2002 at 10:27 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Here is my 2 cents on the hate going on here. Im lvl 39 this is my first character I have never been on a raid never fought any powerful mobs, but everytime i have a question i try and find someone that is 50+. Why, because they have more experience in the game than me. Most of the time I have gotten an answer. Yes a couple of times ive been told that someone was to busy to help but hey if they are busy i dont want to bother them. I dont want anyone to get upset with me because im using up 2 minutes of there time but you also have to remember this is a game.
Does he hurt?
