Prerequisite Task: The Body of the Beast
This task starts with Private Vesk in The Chambers of Puissance at /way -422, 669, -681. He is located on the find tool CTRL F. You say, 'Hail, Private Vesk' Private Vesk says, 'Oh hello, ____! I want to thank you for your samples. We're already learning some [interesting things] about this great beast, if you'd like to hear about it.' You say, 'What interesting things did you find?' Private Vesk says, 'I'm glad you asked, ____! So, the tissue samples were our first clue that something was amiss. The areas that were less 'worked' by the Aureate scalewrought were of greater structural integrity. The [blood] was also of interesting and inconsistent quality.' You say, 'What did you find with the blood?' Private Vesk says, 'Honestly, I sent that over to Thedran over there to look through into deeper detail. You'll have to give us some time on that. With that in mind, are you [interested] in doing more for us?' You say, 'I'm interested. What would you like for me to do?' You have been assigned the task 'A Wrench in their Plans'. Private Vesk says, 'Perfect. While Thedran continues to look into the blood, I think you could reach out to Adalaide.' The monk's head nudges in the half-elf's direction. 'She's fairly comfortable with their tools at this point, and might have some recommendations.' Private Vesk Is working on analyzing the samples they were provided, and has asked you for some help with getting some additional information on the spanners that the Aureate use. Vesk has indicated that Adalaide Galender has been looking over the spanners and may have some information regarding them. Adalaide Galenrider is in the same room with Private Vesk at /way -427, 688, -682. She is on the find tool CTRL F. You say, 'Hail, Adalaide Galerider' Adalaide Galerider says, 'Mmmm, I'm [busy] right now.' You say, 'You're busy with the spanners?' Adalaide Galerider says, 'Oh wait, you're ____, the one who brought them back, aren't you?' She sheepishly smiles. 'Well, sorry about that then. Did you know these tools aren't [mechanical] in nature? Thank Tunare, because I would hate to have to try to get an expert in tinkering down here.' You say, 'They aren't mechanical?' You have been given: Tagged Aureate Spanner Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Adalaide Galerider says, 'Correct! These interface with magic, directly into the creature's parts. The same magic that our allies in the floors above have been attempting to study. As a result, we're going to request that you bring one of the spanners up to Researcher Rosinda within the Aureate Covert and get her feedback.' Digging into the box behind them, Vesk pulls one of the tools out, labelled with a small tag, and offers it over towards ____. 'This one would be perfect. See what she recommends.' Researcher Rosinda Wrannstad is at the zone in of Aureate Covert, coming from The Theater of Eternity. You offered 1 Tagged Aureate Spanner to Researcher Rosinda Wrannstad. You have been given: Modified Aureate Spanner Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Researcher Rosinda Wrannstad says, 'Fascinating... This tool is from Drenesh and Vesk?' She looks over the mechanisms of the spanner, finding the patterns matching much of the magic of the invading forces that she's seen thus far. With a slow shake of her head, she gives the most minor tweaks to it with a twitch of her hand. 'I do not want to think of what can be done with this, but I do want to ensure it cannot be done again.' The tool is offered back to ____, and she adds, 'I hope I have made the proper adjustments to short-circuit their interfaces. I still understand so little of their magic, but by subjecting it to a touch of Norrathian magic, its lack of comptatibility with their magical machinery may lead to problematic outcomes. I have a [request], however.' You complete the trade with Researcher Rosinda Wrannstad. You say, 'Hail, Private Vesk' Private Vesk says, 'Wait, she made adjustments to the tool? Is it [safe]?' Sebb is enveloped in an enchanter's aura. You say, 'She believes it to be safe, but if it hurts the leviathan, we are to cease its use.' Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Private Vesk says, 'An honorable approach. Since you still have it, please do the honors. You know her wishes.' Passing over a roughly sketched diagram, Vesk points out the details of a small building formation with a central magical device along a "hallway". 'From information we obtained from Trais, some of these buildings have outer rooms flanking it, particularly on the top level of the Chambers. We believe there may be some of these rooms on the heart level, as well. Try interfacing the spanner with the central magical devices on whichever of these devices you find, and we'll see how it behaves. Good luck, ____.' This was on the very top floor at /way -565, 489, -171 You right click the Modified Aureate Spanner next to the magical device. It will knock your invis off, so be prepared if there are mobs in the room on this step and the next. You might want to clear the room out first. You begin casting Perform "Maintenance". The compromised magic starts to arc from the spanner. After a slight delay, the device interfaces with the magical machine, and the machine swiftly slows to a halt.

You right click the Modified Aureate Spanner next to the magical device. It will knock your invis off so be prepared if there are mobs in the room. You begin casting Perform "Maintenance". The compromised magic starts to arc from the spanner. After a slight delay, the device interfaces with the magical machine, and the machine swiftly slows to a halt. Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. /way -656, 576, -733 on the floor where the giant heart is in the middle. Same thing, you will need to clear out the room. You begin casting Perform "Maintenance". The compromised magic starts to arc from the spanner. After a slight delay, the device interfaces with the magical machine, and the machine swiftly slows to a halt. Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. /way -477, 389, -732 on the same floor not far from the step above, clear the room out. You begin casting Perform "Maintenance". The compromised magic starts to arc from the spanner. After a slight delay, the device interfaces with the magical machine, and the machine swiftly slows to a halt. Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Just as it says, kill scalewrought manipulators. They usually surround the magical devices. If you have been clearing out the rooms, you have probably killed these anyways. You offered 1 Modified Aureate Spanner to Private Vesk. Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Private Vesk says, 'You did something and they are scrambling, but if Thedran's findings are to be believed, it's only a temporary measure. Go speak with him. You'll want to hear it from the source.' You complete the trade with Private Vesk. Theran Narrok is right across the room from Private Vesk. You say, 'Hail, Thedran Narrok' Thedran Narrok says, 'Hrm... You heard, eh? The blood samples you returned had some troubling findings. The samples from the locations closer to the blood pool and heart had troubling levels of some venom, or poison... some unknown material that seems to be weakening the blood. I'm checking to see if purification spells or potions may be able to counteract it, but if something is affecting their blood, anything we try is only going to [slow them down], not stop them.' You say, 'I can slow them down in the meantime.' Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. Thedran Narrok says, 'That's what we want to hear. Go see what havoc you can bring upon our invaders, get them occupied, while I test what we can do on this blood. Vesk will verify your progress.' Kill anything with scalewrought in their name. You say, 'Hail, Private Vesk' Your task 'A Wrench in their Plans' has been updated. The scalewrought are confirmed to be doing something to the large leviathan. Master Alchemist Penigan has some theories from here. You receive 2 silver . You receive 1 gold . You receive 267 platinum . You have gained 19 ability point(s)! You gain experience! Private Vesk says, 'You bought us some great time, ____. Thank you.' They smile warmly. 'Well, we sent our findings to Master Alchemist Penigan, and it seems not to contradict her theories. You've done what you could for us here, but perhaps she might have something for you and some fellow adventurers to get to the bottom of this. Good luck out there.' 267 platinum 1 gold 2 silver Experience | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
