Ruins of the Ancients 17'That two timing, scum seeking, Sommlending fawning, son of a Gourgaz. This insubordinate idea of his will surely bring him dire consequences.' Her starting phrase raises your eyebrows and you wait expectantly hoping to hear further explanation of what and where you are going next. 'He has pressed his regulations too far this time, and you,' she raises a clawed finger and points toward your chest 'yes you, will be our revenge.' 'Get to the point, Sorceress,' Lakaast growls, 'You are beginning to try our patience.' She shuts her mouth momentarily and stares and the Xagash, seeming to weigh her options before continuing. Flicking her eyes from the Xagash to you she smiles as she readies herself to reveal the next step of your quest. 'It seems that The Ghoulag has decided that our payment was not enough to give our young protégé passage.' The sarcasm in her face in her reference to you is filled with envy. Her hard flat voice at the reference to The Traitor is filled with even more hatred. 'The creature has decided a test is in order. He wants to see for himself whether or not our young Drakkar could possibly be anything to put his faith in. Thus he has ordered a test. If our young leader here passes, the Ghoulag will not only give the youth a ship to bring him to Vassagonia, but also will provide the exact location for the tombs of Majhan where the Haakon Doomstone is hidden.' She pauses then waves her hand. By her feet the ground suddenly parts to show a wide dark hole leading to an underworld passage. From this hole, climbs a swarthy man missing his right hand, and a platinum ring in his left ear. Smiling, he gets up and stands next to her. 'This is Captain Mosk, a Pirate Captain that will be waiting for you.' At this point she looks straight at you, a dark gleam in her eyes. 'You must enter this passage,' She says indicating the hole at her feet, 'and find the Palladium Gauntlet. Once found the captain is to fulfill his duties and secure your way to the Tombs.' 'Is that all?' you ask, 'Simply find the Gauntlet and I finish the quest?' Goragik nods affirmatively. 'Ha, not such a hard task, you laugh, and ready yourself to enter the hole. Lakaast's hand prevents you from being so hasty. 'You do not know The Traitor as we do.' He says seriously. 'There is much more to this then there seems. I am certain that the Traitor has something planned that could foul all our plans. You must be wary, and must equip yourself before leaving.' If you decide to get equipment before setting off on your quest, turn to 23 If you decide to proceed without any equipment, turn to 39 |
