NPC: Shmendrik Lavawalker
Spoken Text: (when hailed) Shmendrik Lavawalker says 'Hail, good
[your name here] !! Be wary near the waters of Lake Rathe! The Riptide
goblin king, Lord Bergurgle has been commanding his minions to murder and
rob all who come near it! I am here seeking his death but I am afraid I
am no match for all of his subjects. I shall reward you greatly for the
death of Lord Bergurgle. I simply ask that you bring me his crown as proof.
(when attacked) Shmendrik Lavawalker says 'I shall sear the flesh from your bones and your soul shall be carried to oblivion by my flames!
(when given "Lord Bergurgle's Crown") Shmendrik Lavawalker shoves
the crown into a scorch marked leather satchel and cackles uncontrollably
as madness twists his features and flames dance in his eyes. You Ebina
have reduced the Riptides into chaos! Without a king to keep them in control
they will ravage the settlements surrounding this lake! After the slaughter
I shall return and easily burn the remainder of the villages and fishing
shanties to the ground! None shall escape the fires of the Tyrant!!
NPC: A Spirit of Flame
NPC: Lord Bergurgle
NPC: Natasha Whitewater
Shmendrik Lavawalker says, 'I'll slay you like I slaughtered your fellow missionaries! The Triumvirate can not decide the fate of a follower of the Tyrant!!
Natasha Whitewater says, 'Enough!! Your existence has come to an end!
Natasha Whitewater says 'This conflict has been destined by the waters of the Triumvirate!
(when hailed) Natasha Whitewater says 'The Riptide goblins must have their crown returned to them. If you would be so kind as to give me the crown I will make sure that it reaches them. Hopefully they are capable enough to repair the damage that has been done to it.'
(when given the crown) Natasha Whitewater says 'I will have this
crown returned to the Riptide Goblins immediately! Should you ever come
across an Erudite named Omat Vastsea, give him this sea shell. The waters
of Norrath shimmer with awareness of your deeds here today!
NPC: Omat Vastsea
Spoken Text: (when hailed) Omat Vastsea bows deeply. 'I have
been expecting you, <your name> . The waters have foretold your arrival.
I am High Priest Omat Vastsea of the Triumvirate missionaries. Please feel
free to enjoy the quiet solitude of this inn.'
You say, 'who are the triumvirate'
Omat Vastsea says 'The Triumvirate of Water are: E'ci, the mistress of ice; Tarew Marr, the lord of water; and Povar, the formless master of vapor and mist. We Triumvirate missionaries are granted great divinatory powers and wisdom through our devotion to the Triumvirate and must defend the waters of Norrath from the ravages of the Tyrant of Fire, Fennin Ro.
You say, 'who is fennin ro'
Omat Vastsea says 'The Tyrant of Fire, Fennin Ro, is the merciless lord of fire in all its forms. The rivalry between the tyrant and the Triumvirate is as old as the gods themselves and is an eternal battle. We witness the struggle every moment of our lives as the Oasis of Marr succumbs to the heat of the surrounding desert and is replenished by the swelling of the Lifire River. That fragile balance between the elements must be maintained but the Plasmatic Priesthood threatens that balance.
You say, 'who are the plasmatic priesthood'
Omat Vastsea says 'The Plasmatic Priesthood are worshipers of the Tyrant of Fire, but they have been driven mad by their fanaticism and have forgotten the importance of the balance. In their madness they would set the whole world aflame, leaving nothing but lifeless ash.
(after turning in the shell) Omat Vastsea says 'So, you are a friend of Natasha's? That is good to see. She is a very wise and gifted woman. The Riptide goblins have adopted a new king but are still in a vulnerable state until his subjects accept his rule. The Plasmatic Priesthood is aware of the weakened state of the Riptides and has convinced the Fire Peak goblins to strike against them. Although I do not agree with the mannerisms or actions of any goblin clan, such a war would be detrimental to all who are caught in its path. Lord Gimblox of the Fire Peak clan has been meeting with a member of the Plasmatic Priesthood in the Temple of Solusek Ro. Locate the Plasmatic Priest, hand him this statue to hinder his powers, then eliminate him and bring me his robe.
(after turning in the "Blood Soaked Plasmatic Priest Robe") "You
have proven yourself to be one who is willing to take responsibility for
his own actions. Such a trait is desired by all deities to be present in
their faithful. I pray that you had the wisdom to slay Lord Gimblox as
well as the Plasmatic Priest in order to prevent further advancement in
the incursion against the Riptides. Priestess Natasha awaits inside the
inn for Lord Gimblox's ring, make haste for she is a busy women and will
depart soon"
NPC: "A Seeker"/Plasmatic Priest
a seeker says 'Solusek Ro is the Master of Fire and the Keeper of Power.
You say, 'what plasmatic priest'
a seeker says 'You speak of things that should not be spoken! It would be in your best interest to leave this temple at once and return to lands less consumed by flame!
(when given "Coral Statue of Tarew") A seeker shakes violently as his hand closes on the coral statue and flames dance in the depths of his eyes! The statue begins to emit a reddish glow then shatters in a burst of fire and smoke! The flames in the plasmatic priest's eyes vanish with the explosion and only madness remains! 'The Triumvirate thinks that destroying my spirit of flame will stop me?!! I will kill you all now, the goblins will continue to war, and when my spirit is restored I will ensure that Ixiblat Fer consumes all of Norrath in his flames!!'
Tactics: AE Tremor spell can aggro surrounding temple mobs on him.
If they get the kill, you lose the corpse and have to start over. Pulling
him to the zone after turning in the statue is one way to avoid this result.
He summons, so be sure not to damage him until you reach the zone. Another
potential way to manage the situation is to use Atone or another memory
wipe spell to clear aggro on the mobs.
NPC: Lord Gimblox
Step Two: Obtain the Orb of Clear Water
Immediately after completing the previous step, turn in "Lord Gimblox's Signet Ring" to Natasha and receive the "Ornate Sea Shell (II)". Turn in the "Ornate Sea Shell (II)" to Naxot Deepwater, receive "Message to Natasha" and kill Ixiblat Fer, looting "Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer". Kill Overking Bathezed, looting "Singed Scroll". Turn in "Sceptre of Ixiblat Fer" and "Singed Scroll" to Omat Vastsea, receiving "Orb of Clear Water" and causing Natasha Whitewater to spawn.
NPC: Natasha Whitewater
NPC: Naxot Deepwater
(after turning in "Ornate Sea Shell (II)") "Praise the Triumvirate!
Natasha sent you just in time! Those twisted sarnak summoners are summoning
Ixiblat Fer as we speak! We must stop Ixiblat Fer while he is still weak
or all of Norrath may be set aflame! Please do me one more favor, should
I perish to this beast of fire. Give this note to Natasha when you next
see her, and if you should perish and I survive, I will make sure the waters
never forget your reflections of your deeds this day."
NPC: Ixiblat Fer
Tactics: This is a high level (52+), multi-group (24-30 person)
encounter. Most people pull him to the Skyfire zone before fighting, and
report that he follows pullers reliably without aggroing additional mobs.
His magic resistance is reportedly average to below average for his level,
and he is NOT immune to fire-based spells. Mage fire pets will be immune
to his AE fire proc, however. He will attempt to flee when low on health,
and he apparently has a high regen rate which will take effect near the
end of the fight if he is not finished quickly. Slowing/debuffing him is
highly recommended. Charmed wurms do good damage as well.
NPC: Overking Bathezed
Tactics: This is a high level (55+), multi-group (24-30 person)
encounter. The best location for the fight is a matter of opinion. If you
fight in his room, you must be careful not to aggro the queen, plus Gravity
Flux may aggro mobs in above rooms (Herbalist room) if they are not kept
clear. If you fight in the hallway, he may gate (cannot be interrupted)
and begin summoning people to their deaths. People have reported success
and failure in both locations. He has approx. 6 guards (avg. level may
be ~54) with him.
NPC: Omat Vastsea
Step Three: Obtain the Orb of Vapor
Immediately after completing the previous step, give "Message to
Natasha" to Natasha Whitewater to receive "Shimmering Pearl". Turn in the
"Shimmering Pearl" to Zordak Ragefire. He will transform from a level 60
vendor to a level 55 NPC and attack you. When he is killed, Zordakalicus
Ragefire, a named fire dragon, will spawn on the spot. Kill him and loot
the "Heart of Zordak Ragefire". Turn in the "Heart of Zordak Ragefire"
to Omat Vastsea, receiving the "Orb of Vapor" and causing Jhassad Oceanson
to spawn.
NPC: Natasha Whitewater
Spoken Text: (when given "Message to Natasha") Natasha Whitewater
lowers her head in mourning and whispers a prayer. It is a shame that fate
has decided one so young and from such a background should perish, but
we must not attempt to change what was destined to be. Priestess Naxot
sacrificed herself selflessly so that others may be spared the horrors
Ixiblat would have brought to Norrath. May the waters of Norrath forever
remember her reflection. I thank you for delivering Naxot's message to
me and give you this pearl imbued with the power of the Triumvirate. Should
you find Zordak Ragefire, speak with him before all else and hand him this
pearl. No mortal enemy of the Triumvirate can resist its enchantments.
NPC: Zordak Ragefire/Zordakalicus Ragefire
Spoken Text: (when hailed) Zordak Ragefire stares at <your
name> with unblinking eyes. A wide grin crosses Zordak's face and flames
flicker in the depths of his eyes. 'Welcome to the new fortress of the
Plasmatic Priesthood! It's a shame about Lord Nagafen's untimely death,
really it is! Such a powerful and noble creature should not perish at the
hands of mortals.'
(when given "Shimmering Pearl") Zordak Ragefire laughs maniacally as he crushes the pearl in his hands with inhuman strength. 'The Triumvirate missionaries think their petty magic can affect me!! I will send your heads to Omat as a symbol of what is to come for all of his missionaries!'
Tactics: After being given the pearl, Zordak Ragefire will attack
you. When he is killed, his true (dragon) form, Zordakalicus Ragefire,
will spawn on the spot where he dies. Zordakilicus Ragefire is a clone
of Lord Nagafen, but will not banish level +53 characters. Normal Nagafen
tactics apply.
NPC: Omat Vastsea
Spoken Text: (when given "Heart of Zordak Ragefire") Omat Vastsea
says 'I see now that Zordak Ragefire and the exiled elder dragon Zordakalicus
were the same being. That explains how he resisted our attempts to divine
his affairs and past. Each of these orbs I have granted you represents
one of the Triumvirate. Jhassad Oceanson awaits on the shore below to perform
the ritual that will merge the orbs into a single Orb of the Triumvirate
and summon an avatar from the Plane of Water. Present the Orb of the Triumvirate
to the Avatar of Water when it arrives and allow your destiny to be unraveled.
Step Four: Obtain the Orb of the Triumvirate
Immediately after completing the previous step, turn in the "Orb
of Frozen Water", "Orb of Clear Water", and "Orb of Vapor" to Jhassad Oceanson,
receiving the "Orb of the Triumvirate" and resulting in "Avatar of Water"
spawn.
NPC: Jhassad Oceanson
Spoken Text: (when given "Orb of Frozen Water", "Orb of Clear
Water", and "Orb of Vapor") Jhassad Oceanson kneels in the sand and places
the three orbs into a large abalone shell bowl. A blue glow surrounds his
hands as he waves them over the orbs resting in the bowl. The orbs crack
and fall apart, releasing their contents, then reform into a single glowing
orb. Jhassad Oceanson gently removes the Orb of the Triumvirate and places
it in Kerania 's hands. 'The Avatar of Water approaches. You must hand
him the Orb of the Triumvirate and it will be decided if it is your destiny
to wield the Nem Ankh Sprinkler.
Step Five: Obtain the Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh
Immediately after completing the previous step, turn in the "Orb
of the Triumvirate" to the Avatar of Water, receiving "Water
Sprinkler of Nem Ankh".
NPC: Avatar of Water
Congratulations to Kerania von Krieger, the first destined to wield the Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh!
