The Dain monster mission series may be completed in any order.
Dain`s Historian Duggans can be found in a small room near the throne area at the top of Icewell Keep. (He /cons Coldain faction, but will not attack no matter what your status. His roommate may, however.)
You say, 'Hail, Dain`s Historian Duggans'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'Welcome ______, welcome! It's always a pleasure to speak with an Outlander such as yourself. All Coldain appreciate the services you have rendered us and the blows you have dealt to our Giant foes. Have you come to learn more of our [history]?'
You say, 'What history?'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'The Coldain are a proud people, and with good reason! We have proven ourselves time and again in this unforgiving land, flourished and thrived. Of course all Coldain must acknowledge the [leadership] that has brought us through the dark times we faced.'
You say, 'Leadership?'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'Yes indeed, we have been blessed with leaders beyond compare. All Coldain know the story of Colin Dain, and I'm sure you have heard of our great first leader. But even after Colin fell the Coldain have always been guided as if by Brell's own hand through each Dain's reign. Would you hear more about [Dain Frostreaver the First]? Or perhaps [Dain Frostreaver the Second]? And who can forget [Dain Frostreaver the Third], the father of our current magnificent leader?'
You say, 'I want to hear about Dain Frostreaver the Second.'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'Ah yes, a brave one was he! Dain Frostreaver the Second made quite a name for himself with his [daring exploits] in battle. It was said that just the mention of his name was enough to send any Kromzek or Kromrif Giant into a frenzy, so much did they hate him!'
You say, 'Daring exploits?'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'Of all his amazing feats in battle, and there were many, none can compare to Dain Frostreaver the Second's daring raid deep into the very heart of our hated enemies stronghold of Kael Drakkel itself. Some say it was on that [day] that the Giants learned to fear the Coldain for the first time.'
You say, 'That day?'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'Well I could tell you about it, or I could [show] you. What do you say?'
You say, 'Show me.'
Dain`s Historian Duggans says 'A wise choice indeed ______! Happily Brell has gifted me with the power to bring the exploits of our great leaders to life. Prepare yourself and let me know when you are [prepared].'
You have been assigned the task 'A Daring Raid'.
Facing a steep rise in attacks on his outer defenses by the Kromzek scouts of Kael Dain Frostreaver II decided to lead a small and daring raid against the stronghold of Kael. While there they sought to strike a mighty blow against the Giants by slaying Omref Stompsmash, the crafty and dangerous head of the Kromzek scouts. It was the hope of Dain Frostreaver II that this blow would fill Kael with confusion for a time and gain his city a measure of safety.
You are given a list of six dwarves to play:
Dain Frostreaver II (required)
Mustum Frenkler
Dandbin Frostcleaver
Lo`ren Dirkins
Aiden Underbelly
Jonn Dirkins
You say, 'I am prepared.'
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Kael Drakkel.
Do some damage! Defeat 10 Kromzek Master scouts 0/10 (Kael Drakkel)
In addition to the master scouts, you will also encounter regular scouts. At 70% they run in the direction of a master scout, so be sure to snare them otherwise you will be in for a train.
Enter the Scout headquarters 0/1 (Kael Drakkel)
The scout headquarters are located in Iceshard Manor (stick to the south).
Kill Omref Stompsmash 0/1 (Kael Drakkel)
Omref is located inside Iceshard Manor.
Escape!
Return to the city exit as quickly as you can! The Giants are alerted to our presence!
After you kill Omref, "An Enraged Giant"'s start spawning all along the path to Eastern Wastes (the zone in where you started). The new giants spawn near the house where Omref is located, and then spawn along the way. The Dain needs to reach the zone for the mission to be a success. Only the dain needs to escape. So, the dain should loot his shard as soon as possible and start running for the zone. The other people in the mission need to loot their shards quickly too. Once the dain zones, it appears to be about 60 seconds before the mission ends. If the dain zones, the other characters can stay in the house and wait for the mission to end.
