This solo task begins with Sorcerer Xycl at location +5, -100, +8 (the port-in room) in Katta Castrum.
You say, 'Hail, Sorcerer Xycl'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Good day _____. Have you come to be a [patron] on Katta Castrum?'
You say, 'A patron?'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Yes. We have need of enterprising individuals that can help us against those opposed to the empire. With the help of patron we can wrest control of the habitats back from those within. Might you be interested in giving [assistance]?'
You say, 'I will give you some assistance'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Very good. We have various tasks for you to complete in [Thalassius]. All of them will require some combat prowess on your part, and you may want some friends of similar ability with you. Are you ready to choose your [task]?'
You say, 'Tell me about Thalassius'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Ah. That is one of the habitats. In it we kept the kedge. That choice lead to one of our greatest disasters and the very reason that Katta Castrum is underwater. It seems that Prexus did not appreciate our [interactions] with the Kedge.'
You say, 'Interactions?'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Um yes. Well. We were just trying to find a cure for Tsaph Katta, but Prexus seemed to think what we were doing bordered on torture. We of course had no such intent, but that misunderstanding lead to the actions that Prexus took against us. We have since made a law that forbids any more experimentation on the Kedge.'
You say, 'What task?'
Sorcerer Xycl says 'Return to me when you are victorious.'
You are offered five tasks, one of which is 'The Incursion'.
You have been assigned the task 'The Incursion'.
Search the library within Thalassius for artifacts. I have given you an aura that is undetectable to anything but the containers that hold the artifacts. As you get really close to the containers it will allow you to grab the artifacts. Unfortunately the artifacts are extremely sensitive to teleportation magic and if you leave the zone in any way, or even die, it will cause the artifact to become unstable. While I want you to try and bring me all nine artifacts, I will be happy if you bring me at least six. Also, I expect that each artifact will have a personal guardian that you will have to deal with and nothing will deceive them for long. Be very careful with this, and you will likely need the help of others to complete this. Additionally, kill some of the kedge to teach them to stay away from the artifacts.
Collect an artifact from one of the display cases (Thalassius, the Coral Keep)
