Lore & Dialog

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "If you are stealthy enough, you can sneak right up to a banderling who is too busy looking around nervously to notice -- sadly, I have not found this to be the case with dancing drudges."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "I have learned the deadly and secret arts from Dereth's greatest assassin -- so do watch your back, please."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "I can move with complete invisibility, using no magic trick or power. I use only skill to move unseen, or to strike, or to evade the onslaught of war magic -- you do know what skill is, aye?"

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "Well, you do seem to be pretty wealthy, and this is broad daylight, after all -- so how's about you consider loaning me one of those crisp new 250,000 pyreal notes? Consider it payment for the two gifts I am giving you: Protection from imminent danger, and a bit of advice to be imparted upon payment."

You give Hemmik the Sly Trade Note (250,000).

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "A wise decision -- one I may ask you to make again sometime. For now however, I will make good on the promise of advice, with a little bit of secret information thrown in for free. Consider it another gift, heh."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "The advice: "Always seek to gain advantage when your enemy is involved; double the advantage when the enemy is a friend.""

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "And now, the information. I suggest you keep this to yourself, lest we end up with every arch mage and their vassal running around this place like gromnies with their heads cut off."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "I know of a well-hidden complex of deep tunnels called the Elemental Caverns. You look like you get around, so I'm sure these directions will be quite easy for you."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "In the southern Direlands, there is a dungeon called the Lightless Catacombs. It is here that a winding valley begins, running westward. Head west through the valley until you reach two small in ground structures. One filled with undead, the other housing a portal to Zaikhal."

Hemmik the Sly tells you, "Nearby, you will find a steep slope that will take you to the top of the mountains. You will find the entrance to the caverns in the rocky peaks."
