Jusean Evanesque peers intently through several pages of the book, mumbling quietly under his breath as he does. His gaze falls on one page in particular as his eyes begin to widen as they pass over each line. He begins scribbling frantically across the pages in between the lines. 'Take this, who ever wrote it was obviously a student of my father. The style is unmistakable. I've written some notes up for you so it should be easier to read. Take this back to Kardin and he'll teach it to you.
You say, 'Who is your father?' Jusean Evanesque says 'My father Heltin disappeared while on a voyage aboard the Sea King. A group of troll pirates attacked and boarded the ship. Ginleen Harltop and the steel warriors traveling with them managed to fight them off, but took many casualties. My father was one of the bodies that was not accounted for. They found his song book floating in the water near the boat. The red water soaked through it's pages told more of the story then I ever care to know.' Get "An Old Water Logged Lute' from the shady treasure sorters in Dulak. An uncommon/rare drop. Find "a crazed miner" in the Torgiran Mines. There are many located inside the Torgiran Mines but it MUST be the Human Male version. Unlike the other miners he will also con indifferently, refer to the below map for known spawn locations. You say, 'Hail, a crazed miner' a crazed miner looks up at you with an obscene grin on his face. 'The blackness oozes dark as night, if I were you I'd run in fright. If you don't learn to hear, in the mines you're sure to disappear, never to return again, unless of course you bring some friends. Even so, as it goes, you'll soon be without your toes!' He then begins to laugh quietly under his breath. You say, 'Are you Heltin?' a crazed miner says 'Heltin? Heltin!?!? I knew a Heltin once! he was quite a good looking fellow if I remember correctly! Always very popular with the ladies at the Mermaid's Lure! I wonder what ever became of him. Oh yes, now I remember, he went Batty! Stark raving mad!' He begins to poke Katarin hard in the head presumably to accentuate his friend's madness. Although he rather seems to be enjoying himself as well.' You say, 'Why did you go mad?' a crazed miner says 'Mad? Who's mad? You are!? I'm sorry to hear that, if Heltin was here with his lute perhaps he could sing a song to ease your mind! Since he's not at home right now and there's no lute then I guess you'll just have to stay insane! Luckily for you I'm here to keep us all alive though! Come, help me catch a snipe for dinner, I hear they are good eating! You just have to take your helmet off, and bang the back end of it with your hand and they'll fly right in!' Couldn't get him to respond to any more prompts, finally handed in lute. Almost handed in lute of the howler instead. a crazed miner looks over the lute for a moment. He sets his fingers carefully over the strings, closes his eyes, and begins to play. A soft aria fills the stale air of the cavern with a strange warmth. Something inside you awakens that you had long forgotten. So long forgotten that you are unable to conjure a name for it from your memory. As the song ends the strange feeling leaves you as the darkness of the cavern closes in once more around you. a crazed miner says 'Thank you my friends, for returning my senses to me. The dark dust of the mines had torn my sanity from me. Luckily my hands remembered the songs my mind had forgotten. Here, take this note to my son Jusean in Qeynos. He'll be able to transcribe a proper song for you from it. I must stay here and attempt to save the other miners from the dark insanity of the mines.' a crazed miner says 'Tell Jusean. . . 'Suddenly you hear a bowstring snap as an arrow sails through the air and strikes Heltin in the chest. He lies twitching before you for a moment before he stops and lies completely still.'' Return to South Qeynos and give the stained parchment to Jusean. You gain experience!! Jusean Evanesque says 'My father gave you this just before he died?! So he's been alive all these years in the mines of Brokenskull Rock. What a bitter end for such a talented minstrel. I will transcribe this song for you Katarin, but you must promise to use it to help those like my father, trapped in an unnatural insanity. I pray that you will not fall to the same fate.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
