Visit Baldric Slezaf, located inside a pyramid at +775, +9665, around the portal area of the Dreadlands.
You say, 'Hail, Baldric Slezaf'
Baldric Slezaf says 'Hello. Don't you think this would be a wonderful place to perform a symphony?'
You say, 'What symphony?'
Baldric Slezaf says 'It has been my dream for years to perform a symphony that would be remembered for ages to come. I have run into a few minor snags, however.'
You say, 'What snags?'
Baldric Slezaf says 'Several years ago I bought sheets of the most beautiful sounding music from a traveling merchant. He did not know the author of the work as it was simply signed 'the Maestro'. The melody I played from them was wondrous and invoked feelings in me I have never felt before. However, as I reached the middle of the music, I discovered it was missing two pages!'
You say, 'What pages?'
Baldric Slezaf says 'The pages that were missing were pages 24 and 25. I have been searching the world for a spot to hold my symphony and I have finally found it. Without the music and a new lute crafted by the famous instrument maker Forpar Fizfla, I do not think I can pull it off.'
You say, 'Who is Forpar Fizfla?'
Baldric Slezaf says 'Forpar Fizfla is an eccentric instrument maker from Ak'Anon. He makes enchanted instruments that enhance the sound of the music. If I am to perform the concert of all concerts, I must have one of his instruments. I went to Ak'Anon, seeking to purchase an instrument from him but he wouldn't even speak to me.'
You say, 'What music?'
Baldric Slezaf says 'It makes me sad to know that the pages of this music may be spread across the world or destroyed. If you find and bring me the two missing sheets as well as a new lute, I would be happy to repay you in some way.'
You say, 'How will you repay me?'
Baldric Slezaf pulls a fantastic looking sword from its scabbard and says, 'I might be willing to part with this wonderful sword if I were able to perform this symphony. You would also gain recognition at the opening of the symphony.' Baldric sheathes his sword and begins to hum a haunting melody.
Baldric Slezaf wants these four items:
1) First Half of Page 24
2) Second Half of Page 24
3) Page 25
4) Lute made by Forpar Fizfla
To get top part page 24 go to West Karana and see Konia Swiftfoot, who may be found inside a guard tower at -500, -2400. She gives you a Torch of Misty and starts a race. Take the torch to Fajio Knejo in Misty Thicket (close to the wall guards). He gives you a Torch of Ro. Then take that torch to Andad Filla in South Ro (close to innothule zone) who gives you a Torch of Rathe. Then take that torch to Misty Tekchita in Lake Rathe (by arena zone). This will get you Proof of Speed. Finally, take this back to Konia Swiftfoot and you will get the top part of page 24.
You say, 'Hail, Konia Swiftfoot'
Konia Swiftfoot says 'Hello there, ______. I am hosting a relay running contest. Would you like to participate?'
You say, 'I would like to participate.'
Konia Swiftfoot says 'Great! The prize will be this silly old music sheet. Let me know when you are ready and I will pass you the torch and tell you where the first stop is.'
You say, 'I am ready.'
Konia Swiftfoot says 'Here you go. Run with this torch as fast as you can to the misty thicket and hand this torch off to Fajio Knejo. He will tell you where to go from there. Hurry! You do not have much time!'
You have entered The Misty Thicket.
You say, 'Hail, Fajio Knejo'
Fajio Knejo says 'Greetings, ______. I hope you are having a fine day.'
Fajio Knejo says 'Run onward, my friend, to the far off Desert of Ro and give this torch to Andad Filla.'
You gain experience!!
You gain experience!!
You have entered South Desert of Ro.
You say, 'Hail, Andad Filla'
Andad Filla says 'Hello, traveler, please do not bother me right now. I am waiting for someone.'
Andad Filla says 'You still have a way to go! Seek out Misty Tekcihta near the arena at Lake Rathe. Run like the wind!'
You gain experience!!
You gain experience!!
You have entered Lake Rathetear.
You say, 'Hail, Misty Tekcihta'
Misty Tekcihta smiles and taps her foot.
Misty Tekcihta hands you a small ring.
You gain experience!!
Konia Swiftfoot says 'Excellent! You are quite a runner. Here is half of the sheet music. I decided to keep the other half because it has this wonderful signature. I think it might be quite valuable. It is probably worth as much as an instrument the great Mahlin used.'
You gain experience!!
To get the bottom half, you need to give Konia Swiftfoot Mahlin's Mystical Bongos. Talk to Baenar Swiftsong at location -15, +100 in South Karana. He will give you an invoice after you ask "what doll?". Go to Solusek A and give the gnome vendor Marfen the invoice and you will receive a doll. Take the doll to the Estate of Unrest and find Serra (next to the gnomish spelunker):
You say, 'Hail, Serra'
Serra says 'H..h..hello? Can you help me? I lost [something] and I need it so I can go back home.'
You say, 'Something?'
Serra says 'I never got my doll for my birthday. Before he could bring it to me I was h..hurt by the bad man. I cannot leave without my doll. Will you please help me?'
You say, 'What doll?'
Serra claps her hands. 'Oh goody! But... I cannot seem to remember his name. He gave me this note before I...'
You say, 'What note?'
Serra says 'I hope it will help you out. Please find him so I can leave this place?'
You receive a Ripped Qeynos Bards Guild Flyer.
Give her the Mechanical Doll:
Serra says 'Oh! You have the dolly! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can go home now. Please give this to my father, Baenar. He will understand when he gets it.' Serra begins to fade away. 'Bye bye!''
You receive a Note for Baenar.
Take the note to Braenar, who will give a new note for Maligar. Take the note from Braenar to Maligar. Maligar's Enraged Doppleganger will attack at this point (bring a group). Kill the Doppleganger and loot his head. Take the head back to Braenar and receive "Mahlin's Mystical Bongos". Take the bongos to Konia Swiftfoot in West Karana to get the bottom of Page 24.
To get Page 25 go to South Karana and talk to the wood elf bard named Kelkin Mekia.
You say, 'Hail, Kelkim Menkia'
Kelkim Menkia sighs as she looks over her lute. 'My lute was mangled by those damnable gnolls! I have no idea how I'm going to get a new set of strings for it. They were so rare.'
You say, 'Why are they so rare?'
Kelkim Menkia says 'I only use the finest lute strings on my lute. My uncle got them for me from across the world. His name was Zendrik the Wurmslayer. As his name implies, he killed many wurms and drakes. The strings for my lute were all made from the guts of the wurms and drakes he slew.
You say, 'What wurms and drakes?'
Kelkim Menkia says 'The strings were from a chromodrac, a red wurm and a huge onyx drake. It always sounded so wonderful.' Kelkim sighs, looking off to the horizon. As she shakes her lute angrily, she says, 'I'll kill all of you dirty gnolls!'
Find these three items and give them to her to receive Page 25:
Chromodrac Gut (dropped by Eldrig the Old, a named chromodrac in Skyfire)
Red Wurm Gut (dropped by Nezekezena, a named wurm in the Burning Woods)
Onyx Drake Gut (dropped by Blackwing, an onyx drake in Rathe Mountains)
Kelkim Menkia snatches the gut strings from your hand and immediately begins to string her lute. 'This is wonderful, I will be able to play my lute again soon! Take this old sheet of music I found - I don't think I will have much use for it. My new desire is to bash gnoll heads in with my lute. Safe travels to you, Kenayne.'
You gain experience!!
Now you need Forpar's Lute. This is rewarded as head, body and strings.
First you need to get horn from Ocean of Tears (Alluring Horn from Quag Maelstrom). Take the alluring horn from Ocean of Tears to a half elf bard in Butcherblock, by the docks (Vedico). Take the note she gives you to Forpar. He then gives you a note and a list of items he needs:
1) Backbone of an Ancient Fishman - Kedge Backbone from Phinigel Autropos in Kedge Keep.
2) Amalgam Tentacle - Amygdalan Tendril from Plane of Fear.
3) Petrified Skull of a Lycanthrope - Petrified Werewolf Skull from Karnor's Castle off a Drolvarg Warlord.
Take all 3 items and the note back give to Forpar.
Forpar Fizfla says 'Wow! I didn't think a Human like you would be able to gather all of those things.' Forpar rambles around and works with small tools for a good ten minutes before handing you a very fine looking lute head. 'Now, do you want to gather the next pieces for me?'
He gives you the Mystical Lute Head.
You say, 'What next pieces?'
Forpar Fizfla says 'The next pieces are a little harder to come by than those. To make the body of an instrument that will last ages to come, I need something very special. The scales of a big red dragon and the scales of a big white dragon will make it unbreakable, as well as giving it a unique look. Some metal bits will allow me to hold the body together. Please, if you gather up these things, bring them to me as soon as possible. I have not felt this good in years!'
The body requires the following items:
1) Red Dragon Scales from Talendor, Lord Nagafen, or Echo of Nortlav.
2) White Dragon Scales from Gorenaire or Lady Vox.
3) Metal Bits (regular smithed metal bits). (There's been some confusion because the name of the item is plural, but you really only need one copy of this. Verified in-game.)
Forpar Fizfla says 'Woooooo! You are doing a wonderful job, ______. I wish I could go out and gather these things myself.' Forpar sits back down at his desk and pulls several very strange looking tools out. Eventually he looks up at you and says, 'The body is done! Only one more piece to go!'
You say, 'One more piece to go?'
Forpar Fizfla says 'The lute has a head and body. The only thing missing is a set of strings that will never break! I have heard rumors of a living dead poison dragon in the lands of Kunark. If your were somehow able to get your hands on his guts, I could finish the lute. You would have to bring me the head, the body and the undead dragon gut for lute strings!'
Find An Undead Bard in Old Sebilis at -2085, -705.
You say, 'Hail, An Undead Bard'
An Undead Bard says 'Hail, ______. Are you perchance a minstrel?'
You say, 'I am a minstrel.'
An Undead Bard says 'I, too, am a bard, or was rather. I have been cursed by that blasted pile of bones who calls itself, Trakanon'
You say, 'Who is Trakanon?'
An Undead Bard says 'He is the undead dragon who rules this realm. I came on a quest seeking strings for my new instrument.'
You say, 'What instrument?'
An Undead Bard says 'I sought to create a Magical Lute.'
You say, 'What Magical Lute?'
An Undead Bard says 'One that would make me the greatest bard in all the lands! Are you on a similar quest?'
You say, 'I am on a similar quest.'
An Undead Bard says 'Well then, I would ask you a favor for one in return. If I bring that cursed dragon here, will you kill it for me?'
You say, 'I will kill it for you.'
An Undead Bard says 'Excellent. I have stayed here far too long and I wish to go to my eternal slumber. But before I do so, I ask for one last request'
You say, 'What last request?'
An Undead Bard says 'Give me the Mystical Lute Body you have. I will return it, don't worry. I only wish to hold an instrument one last time before I leave.'
Give it the Mystical Lute Body.
An Undead Bard says 'I feel so powerful once again...a strange feeling is overcoming me!'
You get the Mystical Lute Body back. It respawns and attacks. Kill it to spawn the triggered version of Trakanon. Loot the Undead Dragongut Strings from this triggered version. If the real version is up, it will kill An Undead Bard and you must wait until UDB spawns again.
Once you have all three lute parts, give the following to Forpar to receive the mystical lute: the head, body and gut strings.
Forpar Fizfla says 'Goodness! I can hardly contain myself! This will be my greatest creation ever!' Forpar sits down, slides the lute head into place and screws it together. After a few minutes, he begins to string the lute with the gut strings of the poison dragon. A wonderful sound fills the air as he strums the lute once and hands it to you. 'I hope you find a good use for that! I bet you could play it from the mountaintops and the people below would hear you. Thank you, ______, for making my lifelong dream come true!'
You gain experience!!
Now head back to Baldric Slezaf and give him the following items:
1) Maestro's Symphony Page 24 Top
2) Maestro's Symphony Page 24 Bottom
3) Maestro's Symphony Page 25
4) Mystical Lute from Forpar
Baldric Slezaf looks shocked as you hand him the pages and the mystical lute. 'I will put on a symphony the likes of which the gods have never seen. Thank you so much, ______. Please take this sword as a token of my gratitude.'
You gain experience!!
He will reward you with the Singing Short Sword. |
