Dialog

Opening Dialog

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "Ah! Perhaps you can help me. The Queen has asked me to find out all I can about how Varicci crafted that terrible weapon, Heartbreaker. Regardless of your background or political affiliation, I hope you can appreciate how much of a menace Varicci poses. Please journey to the Viamontian Esper Mine at 72.2 N, 3.0 E and see if you can get the gem that the mine's commander carries. I should be able to use that to forge a portal gem into the heart of Varicci's research operation."

Handing in Esper Mine Commander's Gem

You give Royal Guard Qumasha Esper Mine Commander's Gem.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "Ah, how disappointing. It appears that the Esper Mine Commander's gem only has part of the information I need to access Count Dardante's Keep. There is a second installation, in the Direlands... at 8.6 N, 76.4 W. The Commmander [sic] of that mine should have a gem, similar to this one, that will allow me to forge a portal gem."

Handing in Direlands Mine Commander's Gem

You give Royal Guard Qumasha Direlands Mine Commander's Gem.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "Yes, the Direlands Mine Commander's gem. This is what I needed. Allow me to fuse and enchant the gem..."

Royal Guard Qumasha chants softly over the stones, magically fusing the two stones into one.

Royal Guard Qumasha gives you Count Dardante's Island Portal Gem.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "The gem I have given to you should create a portal to take you into the stronghold of Count Dardante, who I believe was instrumental in the creation of Heartbreaker. I have heard that Dardante keeps his notes in a locked chest in his office. If you cannot pick the lock, you will have to ransack his desk to find his key."

Handing in Count Dardante's Notes

You give Royal Guard Qumasha Count Dardante's Notes.

Royal Guard Qumasha gives you Necklace of the Elemental Adepts.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "This is valuable information. We should be able to use this to take measure to keep Varicci from creating more of those fiendish blades. I thank you."

You've earned 78,000,000 experience.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "This necklace may be useful to you, should you have to encounter any more of those Viamontian Elemental Adepts. If you do not find it useful, give it to me and I shall reward you with knowledge to improve yourself in whatever way you see fit."

Handing in Necklace of the Elemental Adepts

You give Royal Guard Qumasha Necklace of the Elemental Adepts.

Royal Guard Qumasha tells you, "Ah, so you do not find the necklace useful. If that is th ecase, allow me to reward you in another way.... Knowledge is power, as you should have learned from your mission."

You've earned 6,891,000 experience.
