The Alloy Contrivance

Notes

• Found in the Smugglers Hideaway.
• May be examined by an Agent of the Arcanum

You allow Agent of the Arcanum to examine your Alloy Contrivance.

Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "What an interesting ... umm ... mechanism! I have no idea what it's for! But you know, those Arcanum Researchers, they've been working with odd metals like this -- you should ask one of them. You can find them in the libraries in Cragstone, Hebian-To, or Zaikhal."

• May be examined by an Arcanum Researcher

You allow Arcanum Researcher to examine your Alloy Contrivance.

Arcanum Researcher tells you, "Well, look at that. Where did you say you found this?"

The Arcanum Researcher studies the mechanism carefully. She rubs it, tries to dent it with a fingernail, even sniffs at the metal.

Arcanum Researcher tells you, "No, I've never seen anything like this. Although ..."

She tilts her head to the side as she thinks.

Arcanum Researcher tells you, "No, I think I do remember something about a metal like this. Something the undead were working on. Hmmm ..."

Arcanum Researcher tells you, "Why don't you ask the Undead Mechanic, by the waterfall on Marae Lassel? Maybe he can tell you something about this ... umm ... mechanism."

• May be given to the Undead Mechanic in exchange for experience and a page from the Blue Vellum Binder

You give Undead Mechanic Alloy Contrivance.

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Ah, yes, one of our mechanisms. Very good. I have always maintained that Isparians must be good for something."

Undead Mechanic gives you Untranslated Page #10.

You've earned 50,000 experience.

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Here is your reward -- a page from a great work of our literature. Perhaps it will improve your puny mind."

Undead Mechanic tells you, "What do you mean you cannot read it? Illiterate!"

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Well, I will give you a different page for each different part you bring me, and if you collect them all into a volume, I will exchange that for something more suited to your ... abilities ."
