Note: to start this quest, you need amiable faction with the Paladins of Underfoot. At the moment, only dwarf paladins enter the game with sufficient faction to get the quest, as there is no known way to raise it.

I was helping my good friend Riae Soulmender in Dagnor's Cauldron trying to find that elusive Bilge Aqua Goblin when suddenly Riae mentions that he found some exiled Paladin by the docks of faydwer. Naturally I felt obligated to go investigate. Off to Butcherblock I went in search of something interesting.

I get to the docks and to my surprise I find a friendly young Dwarf fisherman by the sea.

"Hail, Dru Razbine", I said. He responds back about his fishing spot and tells me how he needs to fish for food now that he is banished from Kaladim. I listen in on his story of woe and how he was stripped of his Cape of Underfoot by Datur Nightseer, the leader of the Paladin Guild in Kaladim. Turns out he was chosen for a very important task by Datur, failed, and was banished.

If only he had a brave Paladin to help him. "I think you've found your best hope Dru, let me help you," I said to him, hoping for the chance to redeem my newfound fallen dwarf paladin. He jumps at the chance maybe seeing something in me that reminded him of himself back in his younger years.

He goes on to explain the unfortunate circumstances surrounding what has happened. He was sent by Datur Nightseer to carry the Chalice of Conquest to a noble band of Paladins in the Mountains of Rathe. Dru then informs me that the Chalice of Conquest is very special indeed.

Rumor has it that Brell himself delivered the Chalice to the Church of Underfoot himself. Drinking from the Chalice of Conquest assures you of victory, howerver only good natured people can drink from the cup. If someone of an evil past drinks from the cup, they suffer the wrath of Brell.

He goes on to say he was able to make it to the group of High Paladins in Rathe Mountains but while he was there a band of orcs attacked the camp. During the melee an opportunistic Blue Orc was able to sneak into the camp and steal the Chalice! Dru was busy fighting off the attacking orcs to notice the artifact being stolen. After the fight was over Dru chased the orc off into the sunset to no avail.

When Lord Datur Nightseer heard of the events that took place from Dru, he chose to blame his once noble paladin and banish him from Kaladim.

After his tale ended he handed me a container with two slots. He told me that once I found the Chalice of Conquest and the Candle of Bravery, combine them, and return the case to Lord Nightseer. "Candle of Bravery?" I asked, having never heard of such an item. He explained that is a Ceremonial candle lit when the Chalice of Conquest is to be drunk from. He told me to get the Candle of Bravery I would have to get both the candlestick and the candle, the latter of which burnt out long ago and he did not know where Priestess Ghalea aquires them from.

From this point I'm off on my quest for the Chalice of Conquest, Candle of Bravery, and most importantly- To restore Dru Razbine to his former glory of being a Paladin of Underfoot. First, thanks to Riae Soulmender who reminded me who she was, I went to Kaladim to speak with Priestess Ghalea of the Church of Underfoot. I made my way to the cleric guild inside Kaladim and asked the Priestess about the Candle of Bravery.

She explains that the candle itself is very difficult to make and only one person is able to do this task: Dok of Halas. She told him that if I needed one made I would surely need some Soil of Underfoot to give to Dok. For the Soil of Underfoot I had venture to Lesser Faydark and lay waste to some Fairies, and pick up four portions of Fairy dusts. After this tedious task I returned the dust to Ghalea and she gave me some blessed Soil of Underfoot. I then knew my journey required me to take the boat to Antonica.

After a long boat ride, followed by a long run, I made found myself at the Paladin camp in Rathe Mountains, the same Paladins who give out the Armor of Ro molds. I find Nicholas, the dwarven Paladin, and ask him about the Chalice of Conquest. He fills me in, with more detail, of the orc attack that fateful day and the events that followed.

Turns out that after the attack, a passing ranger helped Nicholas track down the blue orc to an orc camp in the near by Lake Rathe. At this lake the found the blue orc's dead body, appearently the orc had taken a fatal blow during the fight but had enough stamina to make it back to the camp, and a group of orcs too powerful for just the two of them to take on.

Nicholas decided that it would be best to go back and get help from the other Paladins. The next morning when the Paladins returned to the orc camp they found it deserted with some orc remnants scattered about. They found a bracelet with the name "Klunga" on it, a shovel, a bag of cauldron prawns, and two sets of tracks leading away from the camp. Nicholas went on to say that the orc camp has now been taken over by green orcs and advised me to stay away.

I thanked Nicholas for the information and then asked him what he knew about the Candle of Bravery. He gave me a piece of the broken candlestick and went on to say
that the Rathe Mountains are not only overrun by monsters, but by evil druids as well! Appearently an odd druid somehow managed to brake the candlestick and steal a portion of it during a fight between the druids and the paladins.

Nicholas even remembered the druids battle cry, "Long live the green!!!" Nicholas told me that if I was able to find the other piece of the candlestick, the make of the candlestick would surely be able to put it back together.

Against Nicholas' advice, I went to Lake Rathetear in search of clues. I found the orc camp that he mentioned, dispatched the surrounding orcs and found an abandoned orc shovel on the ground, which I promptly picked up. I found no other clues or tracks however, so I went back to Rathe Mountains in to find the odd druid who holds the remaining portion of the Candlestick. At this point I searched and searched and searched but could not find any druids that seemed... well unordinary to me.

Luckily for me an old friend of mine, Bohr Blackblade of Fires of Heaven, a fellow Dwarven Paladin, passed through the mountains and stumbled upon me. I informed him of what I was searching for. He sat down for a moment to think, like many wise dwarfs do at times. He stood up and told me that the only "odd druids" he knows of in the Mountains of Rathe would be the Unkempt Preservers. He then told me he was in a bit of a rush and he hoped he helped out. I waved goodbye and then started looking for Unkempt Preservers. I indeed found them and after killing the evil druids for almost a full day I felt discouraged. I took a bit of a rest and decided to give it another shot. Then out of nowhere I heard, "Long live the green!!!", as a dagger pierced my shoulder from behind. I quickly showed her what a Dwarven Paladin is made of and I'm sure she will regret what she started for all eternity, the druid fell dead at my feet.

I did indeed find the Base of the Candlestick on the body and felt with these components I should make my way to Halas to find Dok.

I was unfamiliar with Everfrost and Halas, and everything inbetween. After a days journey wandering the Snowy Peaks I found a cave with surrounding Barbarian Warriors. I found myself at Halas at last. I was able to find Dok in the building aptly named "Dok's Cigars". When I hailed him Dok told me how I would find no cigars for they had run out and I should leave.

I informed him that I was not there for the cigars, but for the Candle of Bravery. "Candle of Bravery? I'll need the candlestick, or pieces of it, a pouch of Soil of Underfoot, and a honeycomb to make that magical item," he told me. Of course I had every component accept the honeycomb and none of the local shops had any instock. I reluctantly left Halas and started the journey for Misty Thicket, where I had heard Bixies dropped the Honeycomb I was after.

Lucky for me a friendly druid named Tryst Trustolid was kind enough to take me to Misty Thicket in a flash. I found a Honeycomb in one of the local shops and my friend Tryst was able to get me back to the Karanas. From there I was able to run back to Halas and turn in the items to Dok. He must have been a shaman because I was sure I felt some magic pulsating from the Candle of Bravery when he handed me the item. I placed the Candle into my container given by Dru Razbine and was already halfway to my goal!

At this point I was all out of clues. I had a bracelet with the name Klunga on it, and an abondoned orc shovel. "Where could the Chalice be?" I asked myself over and over. The blue orc, Klunga?, had it last and now he is dead. I finally went back to Nicholas to ask about the orc remnants to see if I missed something. He reminded me that he found the shovel, the bracelet, and a bag of cauldron prawns when he looted the camp.

Cauldron prawns! How could I have been such a gnoll and missed that clue, surely it meant that the Orcs were from Dagnor's Cauldron.

So I rode the boat back to Faydwer and headed to the Cauldron. When I arrived I found that my old friend Dalas Soww was there looking for the elusive Blige. I asked him if he had seen any orcs in the area and he quickly led me to the only orcs he knew of, the orc scout camp high atop of a rocky hill. I thanked him and he went along his way. So I was onto them now.

I found the orcs and they were going to give me the information I needed to find the Chalice! Even though I was very good at the Orc Language they would not respond to my questions. I showed them that Dwarves do not appreciate such lack of cooperation. I had to resort to violance. I slaughtered the Orcs and every time they came back to the camp I slaughtered them again. Still no information. However I did notice an odd pattern. Roughly every 6 hours there would be four orc at the camp instead of three. However this fourth orc that was appearing was still just a plain Orc Scout. But I was determined, and continued the Orc slaughter, I needed to redeem Dru!

Finally, days later, a new orc appeared at the camp. It was an exiled orc legionaire. "Could this be what I have been looking for?!" I questioned myself. Sure enough he followed suit as with his orc brethen not responding to my questions so I dispatched him. However this orc, instead of dropping Rawhide armor, dropped a note. A bloodstained note.

The note had some very interesting information, the spelling was sloppy as is all Orc Literature. The note read a little something like this: "Dis is a notis of the death of Klunga~ He tryd to reedeam himsef by stealig a Dwarv cup~ When he drunk from cup at lake he died~ We drug his body back to Calldrin~ We burnd bodi in fire pit here~ We bury cup here~ We killd gnome castor here~ We tink he knows sumtink~ Den all is gud~"

I deciphered the note I found on the Orc with my brother Xiae Soulmender, a very intelligent High Elf wizard. We decided the message stated that Klunga was the blue orc that stole the cup, he was not injured during the battle in Rathe Mountains but died from drinking the cup. His fellow orcs brought Klunga's body and the cup back to the Cauldron.

The Orcs then cremated Klunga's body in the fire pit at the Orc Camp, and buried the cup elsewhere. The only thing we weren't quite sure about was the Gnome caster. Who was it? And where was he? While scouring the Cauldron for answers I noticed my brother Diae Soulmender, a Ranger, walking to the Estate of Unrest. I asked him if he could try to track down this Gnome Caster.

He was able to make short work of that task, finding Ghilanbiddle Nylwadil very quickly. Ghilanbiddle was at a camp with some companions of his. I asked Ghilanbiddle if he knew anything about the Chalice of Conquest. He told me that he knew the Chalice was buried within the Cauldron but he did not know precisely where, however he did know someone who does.

He explained using his arcane magic he would be able to resurrect Captain Klunga and have him lead me to the cup. He required a few items to do this task, a item that was once owned by Klunga, a portion of his blood, and most importantly, 100 gold coins. I had the bracelet klunga had owned, and also 100 gold coins. But what could be the portion of blood? "Is it possible the bloodstained note itself is what he requires?" I asked myself.

I decided it was worth a try. I traded him the note, the bracelet, and 100 gold coins.

Sure enough he responded back saying the he had successfully resurrected Klunga's soul to the place he was laid to rest. Ghilanbiddle also told me that Klunga's soul would need something to dig up the Chalice with. I sure was glad that I picked up that abandoned orc shovel at the Orc Camp back in Lake Rathetear.

I ran to the Orc Camp where I found the exiled orc, and found a skeleton named Captain Klunga. I gave the scattered fallen bones the shovel. I have to admit I jumped back a bit with the bones came together to form a skeleton twice the size as I. Klunga, wordless, started walking in a straight line towards a distant point in the Cauldron.

I followed him into the water and swan close behind to follow, my only fear now was that a passing adventurer would kill Captain Klunga before he was able to dig up the chalice. We made it across the Cauldron to a remote spot. Klunga paused a moment, a brown bag appeared at his feet and then he turned on me! I unsheathed my Ghoulbane, and dismissed him back to the realm of the undead.

When I picked up the brown bag where Klunga paused I found none other then the Chalice of Conquest! Overjoyed I made my way back to Kaladim. Ran through the halls, past the Bank of Kaladim, through the halls of the Church of Underfoot and kneeled before my liege, Lord Datur Nightseer, the noble Paladin leader.

I placed the Chalice into the container and combined the two items. I handed the container then to Lord Datur Nightseer who, in return, gave me a Cape of Underfoot for my troubles. The Cape itself was not very useful, a simple 4 armor class and maybe 5 extra stamina.

I believe the cape to be more of a status symbol in Kaladim and almost forgot about Dru Razbine himself. I ran to him, cloak in hand, seeing in his eyes that he knew my quest was over and he would be able to back to Kaladim.

Dru Razbine exclaimed, "Jiae, you're definitely a finer Paladin then I. Take this holy weapon, but be careful what you do with the magical charges it possesses, for I know of only one cleric that can recharge the magical effect. The cleric I speak of went to the lava filled plains of Antonica and has not been heard from since. Thank you Jiae, I will now be able to walk the halls of Kaladim again..."

When I examined the blade closely I found no magical effect or charges, does this mean I must search out the cleric in the lava filled plains of Antonica? What does she hold in store for me? A refined weapon? Possibly our grandest holy sword of all? We shall see in the future fellow Paladins, I call on you to help find the missing pieces regarding this Cleric!

Need all dialogues, faction hits, in-game names of quest items and mobs, quest details, /loc of quest mobs, etc.

I completed this quest today after 8 years of being a dwarven paladin. I never quested this particular weapon, although I did every other one practically =D I tried to do most of this quest as I would have back in the day. Granted I was lvl 85, so it was very different, but the traveling aspect (boats, druid portals, etc =D) was fantastic. As I went through all of these old familiar zones, I reminisced of great adventures of old. I recommend any old-schoolers to consider going back to do an old "mini-epic" style quest of their own, and do it old style with alot of running, waiting and fishing =D Oddly enough I saw alot of things I hadn't seen before, or didn't remember, so whatever wasn't memorable for me, was new, even this old content, grey as it all was =D

*thumbs up* =D

I found Dru Razbind fishing outside the walls of the docks opposite the aqua goblin camps.

You say, 'Hail, Dru Razbind'
Dru Razbind says 'Greetings, my friend. What brings you so far from the trodden path? I hope you do not plan on stealing my [fishing spot].'
You say, 'What fishing spot?'
Dru Razbind says 'I need this spot!! I fish to feed my growling tummy. I can no longer [venture into Kaladim] and eat in its fine taverns.'
You say, 'Why can't you venture into Kaladim?'
Dru Razbind says 'I have been disgraced!! I used to be a respected paladin of the Church of Underfoot until I failed to complete a very [important task] for Lord Datur Nightseer. He stripped me of my Cape of Underfoot. I cannot walk the halls of Kaladim without my cape.'
You say, 'What important task?'
Dru Razbind says 'I was ordered by Lord Nightseer to carry the [Chalice of Conquest] to a noble band of paladins in the mountains of Rathe. While there, the entire camp was overtaken by a band of orcs. During the battle there was a [strange occurrence].'
You say, 'What strange occurrence?'
Dru Razbind says 'A large fray raged. Brave, valiant paladins fought vile, green-skinned orcs and while this happened, I spied the [Chalice of Conquest] being taken away from the camp. I was then distracted by a well placed orcish blade. After I defeated the orcs in my way, I turned to see a blue orc running toward the horizon. I gave chase to no avail. I lost the chalice and all respect. If only a [noble Paladin of Underfoot] would assist me...'
You say, 'I am a noble Paladin of Underfoot.'
Dru Razbind says 'Yes, you shall do, noble Galthek. Take this. This is the Chalice Case. It is intended for the Chalice of Conquest and the [Candle of Bravery]. If you should get both, be sure to place them within the Chalice Case and combine them. Take the full Chalice Case to Lord Nightseer in Kaladim and I shall be redeemed and you shall surely earn a fine paladin's reward. Let your quest begin in the mountains of Rathe.'

You received a "Chalice Case".

Chalice Case
LORE ITEM NO TRADE
WT:0.3 Weight Reduction:0%
Capacity:2 Size Capacity:TINY

You say, 'What is the Candle of Bravery?'
Dru Razbind says 'The Candle of Bravery is ceremonial and is lit when one sips from the [Chalice of Conquest]. The candlestick was left with a fellow Paladin of Underfoot in the Rathe Mountains. The candle itself was lost and I do not know where Priestess Ghalea purchases them.'
You say, 'What is the Chalice of Conquest?'
Dru Razbind says 'The Chalice of Conquest is said to have been delivered to the Church of Underfoot by Brell himself. It is said that whoever drinks from the chalice is assured victory in battle. It is also said that only good-natured creatures may safely drink from it and only a comatose state is assured to any evil creature who dares to sip from it.'

So, I then went to Mountains of Rathe as he suggested and searched for the dwarven paladin.
I found Nicholas at the Camp for Paladin Ro armor.

You say, 'Hail, Nicholas'
Nicholas says 'Greetings, friend. I am the keeper of the [Boots of Ro]. Please rest here with us in our camp of righteousness. No harm can come to you while we paladins keep watch.'
You say, 'Hail, Nicholas'
[Sat Mar 31 12:25:26 2012] Nicholas says 'Greetings, friend. I am the keeper of the [Boots of Ro]. Please rest here with us in our camp of righteousness. No harm can come to you while we paladins keep watch.'
[Sat Mar 31 12:25:40 2012] You say, 'Tell me about the Chalice of Conquest'
[Sat Mar 31 12:25:40 2012] Nicholas says 'You must be the one Sir Dru of Kaladim sent to retrieve the candlestick which was broken in the [orc onslaught]. I have only this piece in my possession as the other portion was taken by an [odd druid] of these mountains. Should you reclaim it, I am sure the maker of the candlestick can patch it together.'
[Sat Mar 31 12:25:54 2012] You say, 'What orc onslaught?'
[Sat Mar 31 12:25:54 2012] Nicholas says 'The orcs attempted to take the hill, as they do on a frequent basis. We repelled them, of course, but a [blue orc] rushed off with the [Chalice of Conquest]. Where he came from, I do not know. He was no part of the battle!! I believe he just found an opportune moment to loot our camp.'
[Sat Mar 31 12:26:05 2012] You say, 'Who was this blue orc?'
[Sat Mar 31 12:26:06 2012] Nicholas says 'I had a visiting ranger track him to his camp near Lake Rathetear. I spied the camp and saw his lifeless body near two other blue orcs. Apparently, he must have taken a fatal blow, but had enough stamina to make it to his camp. I returned the following day with my fellow paladins and found the camp long gone. The ranger, who was still with us, found two sets of tracks leading away. We found [orc remnants].'
[Sat Mar 31 12:26:48 2012] You say, 'What about the orc remnants?'
[Sat Mar 31 12:26:48 2012] Nicholas says 'Here. We found this worthless orc bracelet with the name Klunga on it. There was also an orc shovel and a bag of Cauldron prawns. We left them, of course. The camp has now been taken over by the green-skinned orcs. I would advise you to stay clear of this camp in Lake Rathe.'

[Sat Mar 31 12:27:00 2012] You say, 'Klunga's Bracelet'
[Sat Mar 31 12:27:13 2012] You say, 'Stem of Candlestick'

[Sat Mar 31 12:30:58 2012] You say, 'what odd druid'
[Sat Mar 31 12:30:58 2012] Nicholas says 'The mountains have been plagued not only by beasts, but by evil druids!! They attempt to force all men from this land. One has stolen the foot of the candlestick which holds the [Candle of Bravery]. I remember that battle cry of hers, 'Long live the green!!'.'

Datur Nightseer says 'Welcome to our temple. We are the paladins of the Church of the Underfoot. I am lord of our holy order. I call upon you to assist us in the defense of Kaladim. Speak with the master paladins or priests and find ways to prove your allegiance to brell.'
You say, 'Am I an honored member?'
Datur Nightseer says 'Yes. The light of righteousness shines from within you.'

Ok here is the scoop. I have looked into it long and hard and this is what I found. Yes he belongs to the "Paladins of Underfoot" this is correct. Now the problem is there are no quests that increase the faction. When you do the bone chip quest for the cleric/paladin guild you raise "Clerics of Underfoot" faction. Turns out couple game expansions ago the faction "Paladins of Underfoot" was removed somehow, I have had a GM check this and it was confirmed. You can no longer gain faction to get Dru to like you. BUT starting as a dwarven paladin, you start with aimable factions with "Paladins of Underfoot" therefore a dwarven paladin is the only one at this time that can undertake the quest. I have e-mailed the EQ peoples to fix it but of course that doesnt happen. So will keep you updated if anything changes.

Just wanted to let you pallies know Dru's factions. When I kill him (ikky beastlord. veeshan made me, now im getting vengeance!) these are the following faction hits:

-Paladins of Underfoot
-Kazon Stormhammer
-Clerics of Underfoot
+Veeshan

I don't know if this helps anyone... but it looks like if working your Paldins/Clerics of Underfoot faction isn't helping, might wanna try Kazon Stormhammer. After all, why would the holy order care about the guy they cast out for not giving Brell his all?

I started this quest when I was lvl23 (about 3yrs ago). I am lvl65 now and still have the Chalice and the completed Candle of Bravery in the bank, but Dru still refused to let me help him. This was such a long hard quest to do in the early days of EQ (before the twinks) and I'd love to complete it...just for the roleplaynig aspect of it.
I've handed in hundreds of bones, CB belts etc etc etc....and I'm still doubious Ack!!

How do you gain faction with the Paladins of Underfoot???
Look at this link, there doesn't seem to be a way 8(

Also, I would just like to remind those people who think this quest is not worthy of doing, half of the purpose of quests is to have fun doing them. After all, that's the name of the game, EverQuest....not EverRich or EverPowerful.

What level
# Nov 12 2002 at 4:45 PM Rating: Decent
Could anyone tell me if a level 20 paladin aided by a higher level friend in killing the druids and other higher level mobs be able to do this quest?
Also, I have heard that when you kill Dru your faction with the dragons goes down? Perhaps this has something to do with the cleric in Lavastorm?
Many mysteries surround what this quest really is......
What level

Could someone tell around what level they think the druids you have to kill are? I would also like to know the levels of the orcs in dagnor's and Captain Klunga himself. Thanks

BTW, Great story, it has inspired me to take up the quest, if I am high enough level wise.

This faction thing seems very odd. I'm a 12th level Gnome enchanter and had no problem getting the chalice and candle box from Dru. I have turned in a few skeleton bones, orc belts and Krag chick legs and killed a few goblins but not all that many to change faction. Even NPCs love me!

Dru Razbind says 'I thank you, my friend. You are truly a great paladin and noble addition to our ranks. I now can walk in Kaladim. Take this as a reward. It is the Holy Partisan of Underfoot. It is now yours. I believe it still has a couple of charges. Use it wisely as the only cleric able to recharge it was lost amid the lava filled lands of Antonica. '

Your faction standing with Paladins of Underfoot got better.
Your faction standing with Kazon Stormhammer got better.
Your faction standing with Clerics of Underfoot got better.
Your faction standing with Veeshan got better.
You gain experience!!

Dru Razbind looks upon you warmly -- what would you like your tombstone to say?

I'm off to talk to the Cleric in Temple of Ro

it is the Dwarf Cleric in Temple of Solusek Ro, i got the partisan but i try and talk to the cleric but she wont tell me anything, but my faction with them stinks so im owning shadowed men, i will keep you updated

easy way to raise fraction. i have a high elf paladin and a human paladin and i got to amibily to them. do the CB quest alot. about 30 cb belts will get you amibliy to all but the paladin guild so you need to con them then keep doing it till you can do the quest.

Actually the fastest way is probably not doing the CB quests but actually bone-slaughtering skeles and then turning in bone-chips 4-chips at a time.

In case people dont know....the quests like the bone-chips quest....you can turn in a total of 16 bone chips at a time. Simply give him a stack of 4 chips to get the hand-window open...then individually give him 3 more stacks of 4 chips....WAMMMMOOOO! you just turned in 16 bone chips at a time.

Is this a Faction Problem?
# Jun 17 2001 at 11:48 PM Rating: Default
I have found Dru and go through the entire dialogue with him until it comes to the point where I say [Chalice of ....] and [...paladin of underfoot...] At that point Dru calls me scum and turns back to fish. !!!!!! I'm a Paladin so I don't understand what's happened. Is this a faction problem? Please help.

Dwarf Paladin faction starts as Amiable. You need better faction than this to get the quest but not sure how much better
RE: Is this a Faction Problem?
# May 14 2002 at 12:25 AM Rating: Default
Acutally, for any race besides dwarf, your faction with the paladins starts at around dubious.

ok well.... very nice job on the story but you kinda dragged it out. but all in all this quest is kinda long and drawn out too. alls i know is great story but you dont have anything put in there on what you have to say(. so actually this is not bad usually we get the black and white version on how to do the quest, it was kinda nice thanks

The Factions that Dru is not

Since there are so many of us dealing with this faction issue, I figured I would put to rest a couple of things that I have found. First, Dru is NOT on any faction system in Kaldim. I very meticulusly checked all the factions that I was apprehensive on in Kaldim, and then raised them, his did not change. That means he is not...

Clerics of Underfoot
Paladins of Underfoot (miners guild 287)
Rogues guild (miners 678)
Kazon Stormhammer
Merchants of Kaldim
Stormguard

Out of curiosity, I made a level 1 Pally (dwarf) and ran him to Dru without killing anything or adjusting faction of any kind. I was WARMLY, and able to get the box from him (it is no drop). This means that Dwarves start with the correct faction out of the gate, and nothing we commonly kill lowers that faction. (from the description I am assumming that he stumbled on Dru, and my faction would be much lower than apprehensive if it were something that I killed often)

Illia's beasiary does not have the faction hits listed for him, but in the forum someone posted the following faction hits.

Kazon Stormhammer
Clerics of Underfoot
Veeshan

Veeshan? that seems odd to me because Veeshan isnt even listed as a faction on any database...Why would he give a Veeshan hit? I only have my paladin of level to check this...someone needs to do that =)

(frustrated because he has every part but the box)

# May 07 2001 at 5:43 PM Rating: Default
FINALLY, someone who can write REALLY good posting a quest... I've printed off the first few pages just to read that again. That was beautiful man.

Technical stuff...

Dru IS a pally, and bone chips quest is your best bet to get faction. Finding the pally guild is problematic too, but you might find a newbie to help you get there.

Can't find bone chips? Got to the chessboard. 5 spawn points, all undead, toughest of them is the king, a 15-18 wizzy, who is rumored to drop a POWERFUL crown, pure caster only. Don't know about the latter though...

This is a GREAT quest, though the physical reward (the sword itself) is a bit lacking. My personal request is to give the sword an AC boost, and a graphic for when it is worn on the back. How would THAT change all the pallys' minds???

Just my 2 plat though...

The good news is I found the Cleric, he is the dwarven cleric in Temple of Sol Ro, the bad news is I lost my Partisan. I figured Cleric, probably dwarf, only dwarf cleric in the area of Lavastorm is that one, so I handed him the partisan and he said "where are the other components I requested" I asked him all I could about the partisan etc but I can't get anything out of him but stuff for cleric armor quest.

I tried all the keywords from Dru's talking after he gave me the partisan, but this cleric will not talk about anything else than some cleric armor quests. How can I make him reveal the components he needs to recharge the weapon? This is a great mystery, I hope someone can solve it.

Nevermind that I'm a halfling druid, or that I'm way too inexperienced to atttempt a quest of this magnitude. I'd just like to thank Jiae for how well this was written. It didn't even feel like I was reading a "quest spoiler"; it felt like a story. If only every quest description submitted were forced to be as eloquent and readable as this. Great work, Jiae.

I have been camping the exiled lego in dagnor's for 2 and a half days. Why won't he drop the bloodstained note. Has anyone had this problem. I am getting really sick of killing orc scouts. I have noticed that the orc in the tent spawns every 17 or so minutes but the lego is random. He won't spawn for four hours but will then spawn twice in a row. Getting very frustrated.
RE: sucks
# Feb 23 2001 at 9:05 AM Rating: Default
Well I don t know the spawn rate, but I do know he spawns inside the tent and when I walked by he there and dropped the Bloodstained Note. I m a Warrior so I destroyed it not knowing.

I don't think that is true. I went to DC with my 35 druid and killed the exiled legionaire twice. He dropped the bloodstained note both times. I'm not doing the quest and have none of the other components.

This doesn't really have anything to do with the quest, but I was suprised by how well this quest was written. I don't use Allakazam for my questing info, because 90% of all the entries are basically written in one huge paragraph with huge run on sentences and confusing directions. Jiae Soulmender did a really nice job.
Just wanted to point that out...i'll be quiet now.
