Quests (Infinite Equilibrium)

Back to Underfoot

Level	27
Quest Giver	Skardi
Briefing	Skardi: "Adventurer, I'm sorry it's such short notice, but please head back to Underfoot. Rumor has it the Dark Elves might close their city to the outside world because of their internal situation. Underfoot is the current heart of the Arad Continent, patronized by people at the top of their game. There, you have a better chance to find out about the Black nightmare than you do here. Most members of the Resistance, I for instance, are wanted by the Empire, and it's too risky for us to show up in busy places like Underfoot. But it's not for you. Of course, we'll share with you the information we gather from other sources." <Player>: "Sure, I've been here long enough. I can go somewhere else more crowded for a change." Skardi: "There's a supporter of the Resistance in Underfoot. Tell him I sent you, and he'll be glad to help you. Please be careful. Underfoot is not safe from the scrutiny of the Empire."
Objectives	Relay Skardi's message to Klonter. (If you perform this quest, Vaughn and Queen Maya disappear from Underfoot. You will also have to perform other quests linked to this quest and reactivate the NPCs, or you will not be able to perform certain quests.) Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion	Klonter: "Hello. My name is Klonter. So, you have something to tell me?"
Rewards	9,929 Exp 1,325 Gold

Exploring the Spider Kingdom

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Dungeon	Spider Kingdom
Briefing	Klonter: "I get it. You're curious as to why I'm helping the Resistance. All I want is the peace of Arad, and the Empire is too threatening to its neighboring states including ours. So I'm helping the Resistance to keep the Empire in check. You might not have heard this, since you just arrived, but peace envoys from the Empire are in town for the temporary peace treaty between the two states, and the security around the city is tighter than usual. I don't know much about the Black Nightmare, but if you want to look around the area, then you should start from the Castaway Cave. It's a restricted area, but you're a collaborator of the Resistance. I'll get a special permit for you. Good luck."
Objectives	Search Spider Kingdom. (This quests cannot be completed if Viola dies.)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the Dungeon: Viola: "Are you the special adventurer from Sir Klonter? My name is Viola in the Black Rock Legion. I don't know how you got a special permit, but I'll keep an eye on you until I'm sure you're harmless. The ruins of the Spider Kingdom have long been under Underfoot's management, and there's nothing interesting for adventurers like you." Upon entering Room B1: Viola: "Since the fall of the Spider Kingdom, only a few spiders remain in the ruins. There are strange rumors about the place, but you can't believe everything you hear. Just look around once, so we can get back to Underfoot." Upon encountering Hunter Lotayla: Hunter Lotayla: "*Hiss* Halt, Dark Elf! This land belongs to us Spiders! Did you forget our treaty?!" Viola: "Don't listen to some delirious spider. Why is the Underground Garrison not doing anything about crazies like her?" Upon entering the Boss Room: Viola: "Wait, that's... No way..." Upon defeating the Boss: Viola: "...Adventurer, I have to go report to my superiors. Please don't go astray. Go straight back to Underfoot."
Upon Completion	Klonter: "I'm sorry but you can go only as far as the Spider Kingdom. It's because of security reasons during the visit from the Empire. That place has long been under Underfoot's management. I wouldn't be surprised if there was nothing much to see. Huh? The solider who accompanied you reacted strangely?"

Princess of the Spider Kingdom

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter

Angelina's Proposition

Level	27
Quest Giver	Spider Princess Angelina
Briefing	If character is a thief: Spider Princess Angelina: "Why did you come here? You really don't want to break the old treaty your kind made with us." <Player>: "The old treaty... What old treaty?" Spider Princess Angelina: "The one we made in fall two hundred years ago. Maybe you're too young to know that, but your elders should've taught you properly. You're young, but you're impressive nonetheless. I'm looking for able warriors like you. How about you help me, and I'll forgive you for intruding my kingdom? I also promise my eternal friendship to you. Adventurous Dark Elf, this is not a bad proposition for you. You should think it over." If character isn't a thief: Spider Princess Angelina: "You're not a Dark Elf. You must be an adventurer. It's hard to believe the Dark Elves let other races in their territory. Hm, you look strong. I'm looking for able warriors like you. How about you help me, and I'll forgive you for intruding my kingdom? I also promise my eternal friendship to you. Adventurer from a different race, this is not a bad proposition for you. You should think it over."
Objectives	Relay Angelina's proposition to Klonter. Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion	Klonter: "No way...!"
Rewards	9,929 Exp 1,325 Gold

Prince of the Spider Kingdom

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Dungeon	Spider Kingdom
Briefing	Klonter: "After you headed out to the Spider Kingdom, that thought crossed my mind, but I dimissed it as a crazy idea. But now I'm thinking it wasn't too crazy an idea from the first place. You said you were in the west side of the Spider Kingdom. Could you check the east side? I need more proof, so I can report this to the Queen. Please go check if what I'm thinking is right."
Objectives	Explore the east side of the Spider Kingdom and meet the person in the deepest part. Explore the east side of the Spider Kingdom and meet the person in the deepest part.: 0/1

Nicholas's Proposition

Level	27
Quest Giver	Spider Prince Nicholas
Briefing	If character is a thief: Spider Prince Nicholas: "Dark Elf, did you forget our two-hundred-year-old treaty? Do you have a death wish?" If character is not a thief: Spider Prince Nicholas: "How dare you intrude my territory? Do you have a death wish?" Spider Prince Nicholas: "Hm, but I must admit that you're impressive, taking care of my soldiers so easily like that. All right, I'll let you live, and in return, you'll serve me. Since the passing of the great King Baboon, the Spider Kingdom has been thrown into chaos by a group of traitors. As the legitimate heir to the throne, I, Nicholas, am responsible for the stability of my kingdom. But my sister rebelled against me and she's gained quite a big following. I want you to be my weapon. Help me and get rid of Princess Angelina, and I'll forgive that you broke our treaty and trespassed my domain. You need time to prepare. Hm, I like your attitude. Just don't make me wait for too long."
Objectives	Relay Nicholas's proposition to Klonter. Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion	Klonter: "Ah, my guess was right. Nicholas and Angelina are the two siblings who drove their kingdom to ruin with their rivalry. But they died a long time ago, their existence should only be a record in history. This proves that the Spider Kingdom has been resurrected. I'd better let others know."
Rewards	9,929 Exp 1,325 Gold

Mages' Guild Master Sharan

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Briefing	Klonter: "It's not important why or how the Spider Kingdom is resurrected. We must contain the situation before the Empire takes notice of it, but because of that same reason I can't mobilize my army. This couldn't have happened at a worse time. That's why i need your help, Adventurer. I'll reward you with a free pass to Underfoot and to the Castaway Cave. It's a special privilege not allowed even to most native Dark Elves of Underfoot. What do you say? Thank you. Then please go to the Mages' Guild Master Sharan. She knows about the Spider Kingdom better than I do, so she'll be helpful to you."
Objectives	Go to Mages' Guild Master Sharan. Meet Sharan: 0/1
Upon Completion	Sharan: "Welcome. I'm Sharan, the master of the Mages' Guild, dean of the Magic Academy, and court mage.

Different Choices, Different Outcome

Level	27
Quest Giver	Sharan
Briefing	Sharan: "History tells the Spider Kingdom declined after King Baboon died from disease, and the two royal siblings, Angelina and Nicholas, were so busy squabbling with each other that they let their country fall under the onslaught of the Dwarves. Based on what you just told me, I assume the Spider Kingdom is resurrected to a point of time that follows King Baboon's death. There must have been an external intervention in the kingdom's resurrection, but we don't have time to look into it right now. Now that both the siblings want you help, you can choose whoever you want to help eliminate the other. They're evenly matched in strength, so we'll respect you decision."
Objectives	Decide your camp, and then talk to Sharan. Meet Sharan: 0/1
Upon Completion	Sharan: "Who do you choose?" <Player>: Select One: "Spider Princess Angelina" "Spider Prince Nicholas"
Rewards	9,929 Exp 1,325 Gold

We must continue to honor his wishes." Spider Prince Nicholas: "Your weak mind is your undoing. The only way we can thrive is by bringing other races into submission. Angelina, I'm sorry, but this kingdom doesn't need weak spiders like you."

Dungeon Dialogue	Upon encountering Spider Prince Nicholas: Spider Prince Nicholas: "Are you ready? Let's go." Upon encountering Spider Princess Angelina: Spider Princess Angelina: "Brother, you came. Father just passed away, and all you're thinking is taking his throne. You should be ashamed of yourself." Spider Prince Nicholas: "Are you talking about me, or you? I was the legitimate heir to his throne, until you convinced Father in his deathbed to change his will. You should kill yourself in front of his tomb for deceiving him like that. Father wanted his kingdom to be strong. He was forced into the treaty with the Dark Elves two hundred years ago, but he always wanted us to rule all of Arad. Instead of honoring his wishes, you manipulated him when he was at his weakest moment and disgraced him. You deserve to be punished!"
Upon Completion	Spider Prince Nicholas: "Goodbye, Angelina. History may remember you as a traitor, but you'll always be my loving sister."

Unwanted Reunion

Level	27
Quest Giver	Sharan
Briefing	Sharan: "I've heard you addressed the situation. Good job. I've already issued you a free pass to Underfoot and to the Castaway Cave, so you can continue with your adventure without restriction. I'd better leave now." <player>: (I don't sense the energy of the Black Nightmare in the Spider Kingdom. A fallen kingdom was brought back... What is going on with this world?

A Cheerful Man

Level	27
Quest Giver	Hartz von Krueger
Briefing	Hartz: "How many times do I have to remind you that I don't want a mouthy underling? And how dare you step in front of me? Do you want to die?" Low-ranking Knight Lenny: "I-I'm sorry, sir.." <player>: "Are you here to escort the peace envoys from the Empire?" Hartz: "Follow me."

Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "Heh, you're the spunky adventurer Deputy Master Krueger told me about." If player is a male slayer Vaughn Walshuted: "Who am I, you asked? Didn't he tell you? Ah, the Deputy Master. He can't be more friendly if his life depends on it. I'm sorry that he dragged you to me. I'm Vaughn Walshuted, master of the Iron Wolf Knights of the De Los Empire. You can call me Vaughn." <player>: (Blade Master Vaughn! He and Aganzo defeated Sirocco together!) "...*Snort* You don't look as busy as I heard you were." Vaughn Walshuted: "You're right. I was bored out of my mind when I heard about you. The stories of you reminded me of my younger self. I was just as bold as you were. I'm envious of you for being able to be so carefree and adventurous. I wish I could just go off on a journey with Emily... She'll probably kill me, though. I wonder if the Emperor would consider it meritorious if I'm beaten to death by my on wife..." Hartz: "...No, he would consider it stupid." Vaughn Walshuted: "Maw hah hah! Did you hear that? He's such a no-nonsense man. Ah, I'm surrounded by the prying eyes of the Dark Elves, sitting around with my thumb up my butt, and my deputy can't laugh at my joke! Right now I miss my Emily more than anything!" <player>: (What the...? Why is he so talkative? Is he really the famed Blade Master?) "If you don't have business, then I want to go." Vaughn Walshuted: "Sure. If you're bored, though, come back and tell me about your adventures. Oh, I'm telling you this because I took a shine to you, but you'd better not trust the Dark Elves too much. They used to live underground because they couldn't trust anyone else, and they still can't. See ya!" If player is a female slayer <player>: (Ah, I saw him with the Empire before!) <player>: "Vaughn Walshuted!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Err? Did my deputy tell you my name already? That's a first." Hartz: "I didn't. How did you know his name?" <player>: (Doesn't he remember me?) Vaughn Walshuted: "Hm, you must have taken notice of my Iron Wolf Knights uniform. You're quire shrewd, lady. Yes, I'm Vaughn Walshuted, master of the Iron Wolf Knights of the De Los Empire. You can call me Vaughn. I was bored out of my mind when I heard about you. The stories of you reminded me of my younger self. I was just as bold as you were. I'm envious of you for being able to be so carefree and adventurous. I wish I could just go off on a journey with Emily... She'll probably kill me, though. I wonder if the Emperor would consider it meritorious if I'm beaten to death by my on wife..."

Ah, I'm surrounded by the prying eyes of the Dark Elves, sitting around with my thumb up my butt, and my deputy can't laugh at my joke! Right now I miss my Emily more than anything!" <player>: (I can't do this. He's going to know that I want to kill him, and the odds of my winning against these two are slim.) "...Let me go." Vaughn Walshuted: "Sure. If you're bored, though, come back and tell me about your adventures." <player>: (Of course, he's too important to remember a test subject like me. It's better this way.) If player is a demonic lancer <player>: (This man...he's Vaughn Walshuted.) <player>: "Vaughn Walshuted!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes, I'm Vaughn Walshuted, master of the Iron Wolf Knights of the De Los Empire. You can call me Vaughn. I was bored out of my mind when I heard about you.

Ah, I'm surrounded by the prying eyes of the Dark Elves, sitting around with my thumb up my butt, and my deputy can't laugh at my joke! Right now I miss my Emily more than anything!" <player>: (I didn't want to meet him this early. I hope he doesn't know who I am.) "...If you have nothing else to tall me, then I'd like to leave." Vaughn Walshuted: "Sure. If you're bored, though, come back and tell me about your adventures. Oh, I'm telling you this because I took a shine to you, but you'd better not trust the Dark Elves too much. They used to live underground because they couldn't trust anyone else, and they still can't. See ya!" <player>: (Of course, he's too important to remember a mere gladiator like me. It's better this way.) If player is from Time Gate <player>: (He looks familiar... Where have I seen this man?) Vaughn Walshuted: "Who am I, you asked? Didn't he tell you? Ah, the Deputy Master. He can't be more friendly if his life depends on it. I'm sorry that he dragged you to me. I'm Vaughn Walshuted, master of the Iron Wolf Knights of the De Los Empire. You can call me Vaughn." <player>: (Who is he...? I can't remember...) Vaughn Walshuted: "I was bored out of my mind when I heard about you. The stories of you reminded me of my younger self. I was just as bold as you were. I'm envious of you for being able to be so carefree and adventurous. i wish I could just go off on a journey with Emily... She'll probably kill me, though.

Right now I miss my Emily!" <player>: (Ah, I can't remember him. Maybe I was too young... But I thought I remembered every horrible detail of that time...) Vaughn Walshuted: "Ah, I'm sorry, I talked too much. You can leave now. If you're bored, though, come back and tell me about your adventures. Oh, I'm telling you this because I took a shine to you, but you'd better not trust the Dark Elves too much. They used to live underground because they couldn't trust anyone else, and they still can't. See ya!" <player>: (...I can't remember him. Maybe I just mistook him for someone else.) If player is a thief Vaughn Walshuted: "Who am I, you asked? Didn't he tell you? Ah, the Deputy Master. He can't be more friendly if his life depends on it. I'm sorry that he dragged you to me. I'm Vaughn Walshuted, master of the Iron Wolf Knights of the De Los Empire. You can call me Vaughn." <player>: (He's in the Imperial Army!) "...To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence, Sir Knight Master?" Vaughn Walshuted: "I told you to call me Vaughn. I didn't have special business with you. I was bored out of my mind when I heard about you. The stories of you reminded me of my younger self. I was just as bold as you were. I'm envious of you for being able to be so carefree and adventurous. i wish I could just go off on a journey with Emily... She'll probably kill me, though. I wonder if the Emperor would consider it meritorious if I'm beaten to death by my own wife..." Hartz: "...No, he would consider it stupid." Vaughn Walshuted: "Mwa hah hah! Did you hear that?

Right now I miss my Emily more than anything!" <player>: (He's so talkative...) "It's your empire that provoked us first. You're lucky we're letting you stay in our land, alive." Vaughn Walshuted: "Touche. But I want to be friends with you Dark Elves. so why don't you drop by sometime and tell me about your adventures? See ya!" If player doesn't know Vaughn Vaughn Walshuted: "Who am I, you asked? Didn't he tell you? Ah, the Deputy Master. He can't be more friendly if his life depends on it.

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Dungeon	Hero's Catacomb
Briefing	Klonter: "Adventurer, you said you were investigating the Black Nightmare. Am I right? Haven't you found any traces of it in the Spider Kingdom?" <player>: "Not at all. Why?" Klonter: "While looking into the Spider Kingdom case, we've learned that a similar event is taking place in a different area. none of us has firsthand experience with the Black Nightmare, so we need help. Adventurer, Morgan said you are very reliable. Could you help us investigate the event?" <player>: "Morgan? Do you know Morgan in Silver Crown?" Klonter: "Yes. He's a friend. In his recent letter to me, he wrote how you helped Silver Crown." <player>: "I see. I want to know everything about the Black Nightmare. I'll help you." Klonter: "Thank you so much. I'll repay you one day."
Objectives	Investigate Hero's Catacomb. (This quests cannot be completed if Viola dies.)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the Dungeon: <Player>: "I knew someone was following me. It's you, again." Viola: "Why, is there a reason that I cannot come with you? I want to keep an eye on you in case you defile the tombs of our great ancestors." Upon entering Room C1: Viola: "Who are they? I've never seen them before. Why are they hostile to us? Are they under the spell of the Empire?" Upon entering the Boss Room: Viola: "Isn't that... Deviana?!" Deviana: "Our descendents... Our rest has been disturbed by an evil force... I'm losing my mind... Please... send us... back to..." Upon defeating the Boss: Viola: "This can't be happening. Deviana..."
Upon Completion	Klonter: "The dead heroes have come back to life? How is that possible? The greatest seven heroes of us Dark Elves rest in peace in there. What kind of evil force has swept across the catacomb?" Viola: "Deviana wants us to send them back to their graves first, and then find out the cause later." Klonter: "First the Spider Kingdom, and now this. Things are getting out of control. We must investigate." Viola: "The rest of our greatest heroes have been disturbed. What else do you want to know so much that you insist on an investigation? Underfoot doesn't have that kind of time. I'm leaving. I have to report to Saffron." Klonter: "No, wait!"

Back to the Catacomb

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Dungeon	Hero's Catacomb
Briefing	Klonter: "Ah, I was afraid this would happen. The Elders have decided to bury the catacomb case without reporting to the Queen. Those fools! They're trying to ignore the problem that won't go away on its own. This is different from the Spider Kingdom incident. The kingdom was above the ground, so anything that happens in that place is hard to miss, whereas the catacomb is an underground sanctum closed off to the public. That's why the Elders can get away with their negligence. Also, it doesn't help that everyone else's attention is on the Empire." <player>: "I didn't sense the energy of the Black Nightmare in the catacomb, but I agree the situation is serious. I'll look further into this before the Elders decide to do anything else." Klonter: "Thank you."
Objectives	Investigate Hero's Catacomb again. Hero's Catacomb cleared
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon encountering Fourth Hero: Dark Priestess Deviana: <Player>: "Oh, no. They're completely out of their minds." Upon defeating the Boss: Bador: "Ghosts... Ah... I can't take this anymore..."
Upon Completion	Klonter: "You're back. The guards of the Elders didn't come. Hows the inside? ...Ghosts? But I don't believe there's a ghost powerful enough to raise the dead heroes from their graves. Maybe he's misinformed. We should go ask help to Sharan. Please come with me... Mm? Why are there so many people over there?"

Upon Completion	Iris: "Klonter. Did you come to seek my prophecy?" Klonter: "What do you think you're doing? People from the Empire are everywhere, and you're speaking of an ominous prophecy out loud. Let's not forget that you also spoke of the strange phenomenon taking place in the Castaway Cave!" Iris: "You misunderstood. I didn't know until you told me that something is happening in the Castaway Cave. I just spoke of the oracle I've received. Look around you. No one thinks danger is lurking in the Castaway Cave. But now I'm worried that they might have heard what you said and spread it to others."

Are you by any chance the one who discovered the strange phenomenon in the Castaway Cave?" <player>: "I'm sorry to cut you off, but you mentioned the Apostles. Are you saying they are responsible for the return of the dead?" Iris: "Yes. Not only did they raise the dead from their graves, but they also called forth the Black Nightmare to this land that is already devastated by the Great Metastasis. They will attack every living thing in Arad, make them suffer, and then invade in full force to fatten themselves. You don't look like you believe me. Then why don't you let me join your investigation? I'll prove to you that I'm not a scaremonger." If player is from Pandemonium Iris: "By the way, may I ask who you are? You must be a really skilled adventurer, considering you're with Klonter. Oh... You're also from Pandemonium. I can't believe I met someone from there in a place like this... Are you by any chance the one who discovered the strange phenomenon in the Castaway Cave?" <player>: "Yes. By the way, you mentioned the Apostles. Are you saying they are responsible for the return of the dead?" Iris: "Yes. Not only did they raise the dead from their graves, but they also called forth the Black Nightmare to this land that is already devastated by the Great Metastasis. They will attack every living thing in Arad, make them suffer, and then invade in full force to fatten themselves. You don't look like you believe me.

Objectives	Collect Unknown Energies in Hero's Catacomb.  Unknown Energy (20)
Upon Completion	Iris: "This is as I expected. This is called the Metastatic Energy, proof of the Apostles' invasion of Arad." Klonter: "What do you mean this unfamiliar energy is proof of their invasion? Iris, you need to elaborate on that." Iris: "Sure, but... someone's waiting to see me right now."

Elder Saffron

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "Iris, I've been told you're the source of some ominous rumors circulating in Underfoot. What are you doing? Don't you know envoys from the Empire are in town?" Iris: "Welcome, Elder Saffron. As I told Klonter, oracles come to my mind like poems would to a poet's mind, and once they do, they wouldn't stop burning until I release them. I can't hide them or twist their meanings. But don't worry. The wind that vibrates the strings of my marrelete is just an ordeal, not true doom." Elder Saffron: "Tell me a prophecy about me. I cam here despite the protests from the other Elders who want to seal off the catacomb."
Objectives	Go to Elder Saffron and continue the conversation. Meet Elder Saffron: 0/1
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "The Metastatic Energy. Do you mean the Great Metastasis that raised Underfoot above the ground?" Iris: "In a way, yes. The Great Metastasis is also an handiwork of the Apostles."

The Power that Raised the Dead

Level	27
Quest Giver	Iris
Dungeon	Hero's Catacomb
Briefing	Iris: "Do you know the Metastasis? It's a power that transports animals, plants, ghosts, and even Apostles to different dimensions, like this Arad. Only the most wicked and strongest entities like Apostles can exert such power. The Dark Elves that have appeared in the catacomb are the puppets of the Apostles, a part of their scheme to throw Arad into confusion." <player>: "Are you saying the Apostles are responsible for the rising of the dead heroes?" Iris: "I can't say yes, just yet. I need to know more about the returned." If player isn't a thief: Elder Saffron: "We have a man named Vaughn in town, and he's very cunning. We can't mobilize our army while he's in Underfoot. Adventurer, I want you to go check the catacomb. Seeing that you're an adventurer, it'll be an honor for you to see our greatest ancestors in person." If player is a thief: Elder Saffron: "We have a man named Vaughn in town, and he's very cunning. We can't mobilize our army while he's in Underfoot. Adventurer, I want you to go check the catacomb. I can't trust adventurers, but you're at least one of us." Klonter: "Adventurer, I don't mean to impose on your kindness, but please help us. If the prophecy holds true, all of Arad is in danger."
Objectives	Collect Mana Cluster from Eastern Star S'halla in Hero's Catacomb.  S'halla's Mana Lump (1)

Back to Sleep

Level	27
Quest Giver	Iris
Dungeon	Hero's Catacomb
Briefing	Iris: "Adventurer, during your adventure, haven't you sensed similar energy to this? Try to feel the dark, heavy energy settled at the bottom of the mana of the dead." <player>: (Iris is right. I can feel something familiar from S'halla's mana cluster.) "It feels similar to the energy of the Black Nightmare!" Iris: "That's right. I'm familiar with it too because I encountered those enthralled by the Black Nightmare during my trips. You could have failed to take notice of its energy in the Castaway Cave because the place is still heavily under the influence of the Great Metastasis. I'll sing a song of rest for your weapon. You may not be able to avoid fighting the returned, but at least my song can make sure they will never return."
Objectives	Put all the heroes in Hero's Catacomb back to eternal sleep. Hero's Catacomb cleared
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon defeating Seventh Hero: Demon Executioner Galion: Galion: "Mwa hah hah! I see the light!" Upon defeating Sixth Hero: Flame Devourer Runbert: Runbert: "Ah, finally...

Upon defeating Fourth Hero: Dark Priestess Deviana: Deviana: "(Deviana silently nods, and then disappears.)" Upon defeating Third Hero: Steel Swordsman Bador: Bador: "I was lost in the dark, but I'm grateful that I was able to fight a worthy opponent..." Upon defeating Second Hero: Eastern Star S'halla: S'halla: "Oh... Ooohhh..." Upon encountering First Hero: Fairy Knight Lungel: Lungel: "...Venus... Do you still condemn me? Women can hold a grudge for eternity..." Upon defeating First Hero: Fairy Knight Lungel: Lungel: "My distant descendant, thank you for sending me beyond history. Farewell... I can no longer hear that wicked voice that woke me..."
Upon Completion	Iris: "They were glad to go back to sleep. Their minds weren't completely consumed by the Black Nightmare." Elder Saffron: "*Snort* They were named heroes for a reason. Especially Lungel, who was the greatest hero in the history of us Dark Elves. No way they would let some evil force push them around. They returned to protect their descendants from the evil influence of the Black Nightmare." Klonter: "Of course. I'm glad we contained the problem before it gets out of control. Adventurer. Iris. Thank you for your help." Iris: "Don't thank me. Everything was as in the prophecy. It was the adventurer who overcame the ordeal."

Klonter's Suspicion

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Briefing	Klonter: "I've been wondering: why didn't Elder Saffron stop this? That preseident of the Elders is proudful and distrusts strangers. He opposed the Queen's open policy more vehemently than anyone else. But this time, not only did he encourage you to enter the catacomb, but he stopped the other Elders who wanted to seal off the catacomb. I don't understand this about-face."
Objectives	Go to Klonter and continue with the conversation. Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion	Klonter: "I don't know what your impression is of the Elder, and you may not be old enough to understand this, but he's not to be underestimated. Maybe it's because of Iris's prophecy. Everyone tends to believe everything Iris says, but she's...I don't want to sound as if I doubt her prophecy. After all, it was she who saved Underfoot and the Dark Elves in the Castaway Cave" during the Great Metastasis. But this time... there's something about her prophecy that doesn't feel right." <player>: "Klonter?" Klonter: "I'm sorry, I was just blabbering. I shouldn't have said that. I've just made you worried. Please don't mind me and continue with your adventure. Oh, and you don't have to be so polite to me. Anyone who's friends with Morgan is my friend. You've made such great contributions to Underfoot. I want to be on more friendly terms."

Tyrant's Altar

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Dungeon	Tyrant's Altar
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "The Black Nightmare is wreaking havoc inside the Castaway Cave, and we're too short-handed to contain the problem internally. You need to help us. Inside the Castaway Cave, the Dwarves have built an altar that they call the Tyrant's Altar. Go check that place. I'll reward you accordingly." <player>: "What's happening in there?" Jakarna: "*Snort* Why, are you scared? There's nothing the Dark Elves want from us that is not dangerous. If you're too scared, then you can go home, greenhorn."
Objectives	Search Tyrant's Altar. Tyrant's Altar cleared
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering Room B3: <Player>: "Are these Dwarves? They're really angry. I'd better go back... The path is blocked!"

Stop the Resurrection of the Tyrant

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Dungeon	Tyrant's Altar
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "We sealed the altar after we took over this area, but it's recently been invaded by some Dwarves who have learned that their king Tanictar was awakened by some evil force. The Queen needs to focus on the conference with the Empire. I can't afford to distract her with an issue like this. We can take care of the Dwarves on our own." <player>: "But the Dwarves are only trying to reclaim their land." Elder Saffron: "What the Dwarves are trying to do is dig through the Castaway Cave under the command of their king Tanictar, whose greed for gold got him cursed for eternity. There's a gold mine deep inside the cave, but it's all but sealed off, its tunnels blocked after Tanictar's death. If we let them, the Dwarves will get in there and mine gold, demolishing the cave that is already unstable, causing it to collapse on all of us. Do you understand now? We must stop the tyrant from resurrecting. First, go stop his followers. Show no mercy to those foolish Dwarves."
Objectives	Defeat 20 Dwarf Warriors and 15 Dwarf Barbarians.  Dwarf Warrior: 0/15  Dwarf Barbarian: 0/10
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "I cut down their number, but that doesn't seem to affect their mining speed."

Secretive Woman

Level	27
Quest Giver	Minet
Briefing	Minet: "I've heard the Elder is sending you to the Tyrant's Altar. Did you know that an ancient Dwarf king was buried in there after he got cursed by Venus? You're healthy, so I'm not worried about you, but his anger permeating the area is so strong that many people who visited the place fell ill and died." <player>: "No one told me that. I'd better not go." Minet: "But you need to continue to cooperate with the Elder. I don't know if you know this, but what you're doing affects not just Underfoot but all of Arad. You want to know what I'm talking about? I'm sorry, but I can't tell you. At least not now. You should focus on whether or not you want to accept my proposition. But I can tell you this: you're about to go on the greatest adventure of your life. You could leave, or you could accept my proposition, get the self-defense device, and continue to explore. Which would you want to choose?"

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Dungeon	Tyrant's Altar
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "The Dwarves have reappeared at the Tyrant's Altar because they want to get to the Gold Tunnel. The path to the tunnel is so confusing that only Tyrant Tanictar could navigate it without being lost. He tore the only map into pieces and hid them in different places. I want you to go find the pieces of that map. The Dwarves will continue to pour in. For now, it's more important that we keep the map away from them."
Objectives	Collect map pieces from Dwarves in Tyrant's Altar.  Gold Tunnel Map (10)
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "You came. Some of the map pieces you found are false, and we can tell which ones are real. Turn in your map pieces to me." <player>: (There are even fewer adventurers left now. Some of us look much paler than they did before.)

The Desirers of the Black Nightmare

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Briefing	Klonter: "Adventurer, you're safe! Are you feeling okay? I was looking for you because Sharan said you need some magical protection to avoid the curse of the altar." <player>: "I'm fine. Someone made me a protection charm." Klonter: "Did he? I'm glad!" <player>: "Anyway, how did you investigation go?" Klonter: "I've found out about a few things. Please come this way."
Objectives	Follow Klonter and continue with the conversation. Meet Klonter: 0/1
Upon Completion	Klonter: "The Elders sent a large number of troops away from Underfoot. I don't know why they did it in times like this, but that left us no troops to send to investigate the Black Nightmare in the Castaway Cave. Because of that reason, the Elders wanted to seal off the cave and wait until the Imperial envoys left, but Elder Saffron insisted on the investigation and rallied adventurers. He saw the incidents at the catacomb and at the Tyrant's Altar as an opportunity to pick out skilled adventurers and make them do his bidding. Also, it was him who kept you from meeting the Queen and has controlled her surroundings. I'm suspicious of his reason to keep things secret from her. Adventurer, what are you going to do now? Things are getting more complicated around here. Underfoot is under lockdown, but if you want, I can help you leave." <player>: "I'll continue to do what he asks. I have to investigate the Black Nightmare, anyway, so it's a win-win for everyone." Klonter: "I'll see. I'll keep in touch. Please stay safe." <player>: (Both the Empire and Saffron are investigating the Black Nightmare, but for what? I can't let them drag me into their fight. I'll have to stay informed about the Black Nightmare for my own survival.)

Rumor about the Gold Tunnel

Level	27
Quest Giver	Annis
Briefing	Annis: "Hello. It's a beautiful day today, isn't it? I know you've been busy. Are you taking a day off today? How are you doing with your investigation on the Black Nightmare." <player>: "I think I've made some progress. At least now I know the Black Nightmare is causing a lot of damage." Annis: "I've done my own research on the Black Nightmare, and did you know about the catastrophe that took place in the Castaway Cave? I heard the ground caved in, snakes were born out of the arms of militiamen, food rotted, teeth yellowed..." <player>: (I thought we were careful, and still we couldn't stop the rumors. Does the Empire know about it too?) Annis: "...The dead rose from their graves, mushrooms grew on people's faces... Ugh... So terrible! A-and people say all these things happened all because of gold. Maybe the Black Nightmare is attracted to gold, but it opened the path to the forgotten Gold Tunnel. Canna said she would go in there herself as soon as the place is open to the public." <player>: (The path to the Gold Tunnel? Does that...?) "Oh, I'm sorry, but I just remembered something I have to do immediately. Let's talk later."
Objectives	Go ask Saffron if the path to the Gold Tunnel has been opened. Meet Elder Saffron: 0/1
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "Mm..." Vaughn Walshuted: "So let us help. The conference drags on, and my soldiers are so antsy that I can hardly control them. Err? What are you doing in here? Have you heard the rumors about the Gold Tunnel? So have I. Aren't you curious about the gold mine? Ah, Elder, don't worry. We in the Imperial Army are not interested in gold. We just want to help you eliminate the troublesome Dwarves, as a gesture of goodwill." Elder Saffron: "*Snort* No, thanks. You're here as our guests. I expect you to behave accordingly. Adventurer, go back. I don't know where you've heard about the Gold Tunnel, but I didn't call you. Leave."

Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "I really looked forward to letting some steam off. I also wanted to see the Dwarves in person. You've seen them, haven't you? Are they as hairy as people say they are?" <player>: "...How do you know I've been in the Castaway Cave?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Ah, it was just a guess. So tell me how the place looks like." <player>: (He's playing me.) "No. I'm leaving." Vaughn Walshuted: "No? All right, I'll see you later, then. But I want to hear about it if you ever go to the Gold Tunnel." Low-ranking Knight Lenny: "Knight Master, that imbecile will be able to explore the Gold Tunnel. If he's smarter than he looks, then he'll run. If not, he'll come out of that place dead, or worse Devolved." Vaughn Walshuted: "You're wrong. It's that type of people who live longer than everyone else expects. Remember the swordswoman I told you about? She..." <player>: (...They're chattering like two friends. Now I feel foolish fro being wary of them... ...Hm, I thought the path was difficult to find. When was it opened? Maybe I should check the situation inside...)
Objectives	Explore the Gold Tunnel. Gold Tunnel cleared
Upon Completion	<player>: "Thank the gods, the guards didn't see me. I can't believe the Gold Tunnel is teeming with so many Dwarves. Did I only wast my time at the Tyrant's Altar?"

Upon Completion	Ludmilla: "Hello. You must be the adventurer Captain Luther told me about. I'm Ludmilla. I can open that letter for you. Please let me see... Hm, so Captain Luther and you have agreed to exchange information with each other. What have you found out about the Black Nightmare?" <player>: "It's prevalent in the Castaway Cave. The dead have risen from their graves and created chaos, giving the Dwarves an opportunity to sneak in to the cave. The Empire wants to investigate the authenticity of the rumors about the cave, bur Elder Saffron isn't letting it." Ludmilla: "I see. So it's true that the Black Nightmare can resurrect the dead. Just confirming the rumor is an accomplishment. Anyway, the content of this letter is pretty short. 'The Black Nightmare is leaking from Empyrean.'"

Quest Giver	Ludmilla
Dungeon	Gold Tunnel
Briefing	Ludmilla: "Once upon a time, the people of Arad and of Empyrean visited each other. But the Sky Tower that acted as their bridge was destroyed in the Great Metastasis. Now even Magathas can't reach Empyrean because of a powerful magical barrier formed above the Middle Ocean." <player>: "But the Black Nightmare was able to come down through the barrier." Ludmilla: "Right. It's possible whoever created the barrier only wanted to stop stuff from going up, not from coming down, or the Black Nightmare is strong enough to penetrate the barrier. Now, that's all for the message from the Resistance. I don't want to raise suspicions by talking to you for too long. Let's go our separate ways for now." <player>: (The Black Nightmare from Empyrean, and the path to Empyrean is blocked by a magical barrier. If I use the power of the Black Nightmare, can I reach Empyrean? I'd better find out.)
Objectives	Find someone in Gold Tunnel who knows about the Black Nightmare better than anyone else.

Hah hah! It's a gift from my ancestors!" <Player>: "What? You need to explain..."
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "You sneaked in like a rat and let the Dwarf king run. You'll pay for this." <Player>: "Wait! He ran while I was distracted by the guards!" Elder Saffron: "No excuses. It doesn't change the fact that you went in there against my warning."

Dungeon	Gold Tunnel
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "What are you doing? Throw that arrogant adventurer into prison!" Klonter: "Wait! Elder Saffron, that adventurer has saved Underfoot from danger time and again. He may have entered a restricted area, but he doesn't deserve to be locked up." Elder Saffron: "Are you out of your mind? His previous meritorious service doesn't justify the crime he committed." Klonter: "Of course, <player> is in the wrong, but letting him rot in prison is a waste of a skilled adventurer. Why not make him do the best, for us?" Elder Saffron: "Hm... You have your point. All right, Adventurer. Enter the Gold Tunnel and drive all the Dwarves away. The more gold they steal, the more unstable the Castaway Cave becomes. Don't forget: you're a convict now. Don't expect respect from me."
Objectives	Destroy 6 Gold Furnaces. Gold Furnace: 0/6
Upon Completion	Elder Saffron: "So, adventurer, did you drive all the Dwarves away? What? The Dwarves were using the furnaces to melt gold?" <player>: ... (I destroyed the furnaces as I was told, but I felt that I should investigate them first.)

Suspicion

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "Adventurer, tell me everything you've found out about the Black Nightmare from the Gold Tunnel." <player>: "I haven't... Oh, I saw some Devolved Dark Elves in there." Elder Saffron: "Those Devolved traitors. I don't know where they came from, but they've been attacking their own kind in their fits of delirious rage. They can't be left alive." <player>: (Devolved Dark Elves... Lenny had a slip of tongue the other day and I wondered if she knew about the Metastasis effects in the Gold Tunnel. The Imperial Army is not allowed in here. How does she know about this place? I'd better talk to her.)
Objectives	Ask Imperial soldiers about the Gold Tunnel and its Metastasis. Meet Hartz: 0/1
Upon Completion	Hartz: "What? You want to see Lenny? She's away on a mission." <player>: (Is Vaughn not here? It's better this way, actually. Hartz is more sensible than he is.) "Let me ask this: how much do you know about the phenomenon inside the Gold Tunnel?" Hartz: "Ah, you must mean the Dwarves in the gold mine. Why do you want to know?" <player>: "An Imperial soldier I know had a slip of tongue, and I had this idea that either she'd been there herself or heard about it from the horse's mouse. The Castaway Cave and the Dark Elves allowed in the place are off limits to all of you in the Imperial Army. If none of you ever set foot in the cave, then did she know what was waking place inside it?" Hartz: "What's your point?" <player>: (It's time to test the water.) "The Black Nightmare started spreading inside the Castaway Cave around the time your envoys arrived. It has raised the dead from their graves and sicced monsters on innocent people. Maybe your empire..." Hartz: "What are you saying? Do you think we're spreading some smoke to kill people? Do you think I came here to do that?" G.S.D.: "Enough."

The Envoy from Empyrean

Level	27
Quest Giver	G.S.D
Briefing	G.S.D: "I can feel the murderous intent rolling off you in waves. You're making children cry. My eyes see nothing but darkness, but my ears can hear better than anyone else's. You sound like an Imperial Knight, and figures like you shouldn't make a scene out in the open. It doesn't suit you." Hartz: "*Snort* This is non of your business, old man." G.S.D: "He left. Young one, your aura is familiar to me. I guess you're the hot-blooded adventurer that recently has stirred up Underfoot. I like that you're high-spirited, but you shouldn't attract unwanted attention by squabbling in the middle of a busy street." <player>: "I understand. Sir, this may sound silly, but do you know how to get to Empyrean?" G.S.D: "Empyrean? Why, do you want to go there? You're quite ambitious, aren't you? That's not a bad thing. I can't answer your question, but there was a commotion in the market just a while ago. I heard people talking about another visitor from Empyrean. She's at the Underfoot Harbor." <player>: "Really? I'll go check it out. Thanks!"
Objectives	Go to the Underfoot Harbor and meet the envoy from Empyrean, Marlene Kitzka. Meet Marlene Kitzka: 0/1
Upon Completion	If character is a M/F Gunner: Marlene Kitzka: "Hello. My name is Marle... Oh, you...?" <Player>: "You really are from Empyrean! How did you get here? Oh, I'm sorry, but do you know how to go back to Empyrean? You came down here because you know how to get back to Empyrean, right? Right?" Marlene Kitzka: "I'm sorry, but I can hardly remember how I passed through the Middle Ocean and crashed at this harbor." <Player>: "Okay... Why did you come here if you don't know how to get back up?" Marlene Kitzka: "To ask for help. I don't know when or how you came here, but the situation up there is pretty bad. I'm sorry, but I can't talk to you right now. I'm on an urgent mission, and I have to meet the queen of this kingdom. Can we talk afterward?" <Player>: "Okay, then I'll come back later. (Did she come because of [the] Kartel or the Black Nightmare? But there was nothing like the Black Nightmare when I was still up there. What if Empyrean is also infested by it?)" If character is not a M/F Gunner: Marlene Kitzka: "Hello. My name is Marlene. You're looking for a way to go up to Empyrean. I'm sorry, but I can hardly remember how I passed through the Middle Ocean and crashed at this Harbor." <player>: "I see. Do you mind if I ask you a few things about Empyrean?" Marlene Kitzka: "I'm sorry, but I do. I'm on an urgent mission, and I have to meet the queen of this kingdom. Can we talk afterward?" <player>: "Okay, then I'll come back later." (Did she come because of the Black Nightmare? Maybe she has an answer to the phenomenon.)

The Seal Breaker

Level	27
Quest Giver	Elder Saffron
Dungeon	Heart of the Genesis
Briefing	Elder Saffron: "The Balrogs are corrupt Fire Demons. When we first built Underfoot, they crawled out of the ground every chance they got and invaded us. Our brave ancestors wiped them out of existence, but their king couldn't be killed. So the ancestors separated his spirit in different vessels and sealed the place where the vessels were buried. Since the Dwarves are not strong enough to break the seal, someone from the outside might have done it. I want you to go check."
Objectives	Find a stranger lost in Heart of the Genesis. (If you perform this quest, Queen Maya appears in Underfoot. If you do not perform this quest, you cannot perform quests that feature Queen Maya in Underfoot.) Find the seal breaker.: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the Boss Room: Jakarna: "Hmph, stop following me!" <Player>: "You're one of the adventurers summoned by Saffron. Why are you here?" Jakarna: "Why would I tell you that? You'll have to beat me if you want to know!" Upon defeating the Boss: Jakarna: "Damn it, I'm caught... Well, it's better than being lost in this dark underground cave."
Upon Completion	Minet: "She must be the one who broke the seal. Good job. Let's go see the Elder."

Holding Saffron Accountable

Level	27
Quest Giver	Minet
Briefing	Minet: "Elder, this woman stole the completed map of the Gold Tunnel for the Dwarves and broke the seal on the Heart of the Genesis." Elder Saffron: "Hmpf, I knew it would be an adventurer. You're even a Human! I fed you when you were starving, and is this how you repay me? Lock her up and set up a date to execute her!" Jakarna: "What? Wait, that's...!" Queen Maya: "What's this commotion? It seems something unpleasant happened while I was away." Elder Saffron: "Your majesty!" Queen Maya: "I've just returned from the conference. It's been a while, Elder. Thank you for choosing the far Aphelia for the conference. I wasted days on the road." If player isn't a thief: <player>: "Queen of the Dark Elves! Wasn't she in Underfoot?" If player is a thief: <player>: "Your majesty! All this time I thought you were in Underfoot." Klonter: "I thought she was. It seems only a few Elders and a few offices of the Imperial Army knew the new conference location."
Objectives	Receive an audience with Queen Maya. Meet Queen Maya: 0/1
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "Elder Saffron, thank you for switching the conference location to somewhere 'more private' without my knowledge. My magatha broke down twice on my way back home, giving me plenty of time to make a thorough tour around my kingdom." Elder Saffron: "I apologize. I should've told you, but I was afraid our enemies might find out your destination." Queen Maya: "No worries. While I was away, I didn't worry about my kingdom because I knew you'd take good care of it in my absence. By the way, what happened? I was told one of the adventurers you recruited caused trouble." Elder Saffron: "...Yes. She'll be punished accordingly and made an example for the others." Queen Maya: "Of course, and everyone who's involved in her crime one way or another will be punished." Elder Saffron: "..." Queen Maya: "I will punish her myself. Elder, you can leave. Klonter, thank you. You found out my location through the Elders and crossed over the Aphelia Mountains to take me home. I'll remember your meritorious service." Klonter: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Weren't you uncomfortable riding Lamina Viento?" Queen Maya: "No, he was very gentle. Please praise him for me."

Queen of the Dark Elves

Level	27
Quest Giver	Queen Maya
Dungeon	Heart of the Genesis
Briefing	Queen Maya: "Adventurer, I know Saffron gave you a hard time while I was away and that you've made great contributions to my kingdom. I'd like to keep you close to me, so I can listen to your advice." <player>: "Thank you. But what happened to Elder Saffron?" Klonter: "He used the conference with the Empire as an opportunity to send Her Majesty away and rule her kingdom as he pleased. He exaggerated the phenomenon in the Castaway Cave, so he could declare a national emergency and play king. He recruited adventurers to extend the feigned national emergency, but that backfired on him. That arrogant man probably thought he had everything under control." Queen Maya: "But I'm back, and my kingdom is back to normal. Adventurer, I'd like to encourage you to continue with your mission. The Elder probably didn't think the situation would get worse, but the monsters in the Heart of the Genesis are a great threat to this kingdom. The Heart of the Genesis is teeming with gargoyles that have the ability to turn their bodies to stone. They look like statues, but the moment you turn your back, they'll come to life, sinking their claws into your flesh. If you want to successfully finish your exploration of the place, you'll have to find out which ones are the gargoyles and which ones are actual statues."
Objectives	Hunt 10 Gargoyles and 10 Gargoyle Spearmen.  Gargoyle Spearman: 0/10  Gargoyle: 0/10
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "Adventurer, good job." Sharan: "Your Majesty, the adventurer who was locked up in jail is dead!"

The Dead Don't Talk

Level	27
Quest Giver	Sharan
Dungeon	Heart of the Genesis
Briefing	Sharan: "As you ordered, I went to use a truth spell on the adventurer named Jakarna. She was found dead inside her cell. The wardens said she was still alive at least an hour before my arrival and that no one came to see her before me." Queen Maya: "Jakarna? My guess is that she was killed by her own accomplice who helped her steal the map of the Gold Tunnel and break the seal on the Heart of the Genesis." <player>: "Didn't the killer leave any trace behind?" Sharan: "I used a trace spell, but to no avail. I'm sorry." Queen Maya: "That means whoever he is, he's good. All right, Sir Mage, you may leave us. Adventurer, please head out to the Heart of the Genesis and see if you can find any traces of Jakarna in there."
Objectives	Look for Jakarna's traces in Heart of the Genesis.  Tightly Sealed Small Jar (1)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon defeating the Boss: Dwarf Gold Warrior: "Ugh, I'll give you this. Please don't kill me! This is the only thing I've found in here!"
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "A small bottle. Its design can't be from the Dwarves. By the way, what's inside it?" <player>: (I loosen the seal, and tendrils of hair-raising energy leak out of the bottle.) "The Black Nightmare!"

Emptied Bottle of Sinisterness

Level	27
Quest Giver	Queen Maya
Briefing	Queen Maya: "What's going on? Why is the bottle filled with the Black Nightmare?!" Klonter: "Your Majesty, please stay away. It's too dangerous." <player>: (Jakarna broke the seal... This energy of the Black nightmare... A magical barrier around Empyrean... The Black Nightmare comes from Empyrean...) "What if she broke the seal with the power of the Black Nightmare?" Klonter: "That's possible, but how did she bottle it? I don't think even Sharan knows a spell that can do such a thing. Who did..." <player>: "There's something I want to check. Mind if I take this bottle with me?"
Objectives	Show the empty bottle of the Black Nightmare to Vaughn. Meet Vaughn Walshuted: 0/1  Emptied Bottle of Sinisterness (1)
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "Hey, did you really put Elder Saffron in his place? I've heard lots of interesting rumors about you." <player>: "Vaughn, I have a question."
Rewards	9,929 Exp 1,325 Gold

Vaughn's Complaint

Level	27
Quest Giver	Vaughn
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted:: "Hm, so you think someone from my empire gave this bottle to a random adventurer in Underfoot and sent him out to the Castaway Cave. That's an interesting theory. But so what? To me it's just a creepy-looking bottle. Where on the bottle does it read, 'Black Nighmare bottle by the Empire?'" <player>: "Nowhere. But you and Lenny knew about the Metastasis effects inside the Gold Tunnel, and that makes me suspicious... Why are you looking at me like that?" Vaughn Walshuted:: "Hmpf, I may not be as famous as Aganzo, Siran, Branga, but I'm accomplished in my own right. I'm one of the youngest knight masters in history. I fought the Apostle in the Screaming Cavern when I was younger. The Metastasis is one of many abilities of the Apostles. I've found them enough times to know the signs of the Metastasis from anywhere." <player>: "Mm..." Vaughn Walshuted:: "Mm, what? Hmpf, you're ticking me off the more I think about this. I wanted to be friends with you because I thought you were funny. Well, not anymore. Now I want to give you a good beating with my sword! Stop right there!"
Objectives	Avoid Vaughn and report back to Queen Maya. Meet Queen Maya: 0/1
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "I thought you had something in mind. It didn't work out, did it?" <player>: "No. I thought the Empire was connected, but I think I was wrong."

Heat Fist Vartarucis

Level	27
Quest Giver	Queen Maya
Dungeon	Heart of the Genesis
Briefing	Queen Maya: "I see. Vaughn is a here who saved Arad, and we can't accuse him of something so serious without proof. But that doesn't mean I believe everything he told you. I'll look into this further. Adventurer, I'd like you to continue to deal with the Demons of the Genesis. The only one left is Heat Fist Vartarucis, but he's the greatest form of Vartarucis, so be careful."
Objectives	Defeat Heat Fist Vartarucis in Heart of the Genesis and collect Balrog's Fireball.  Heat Fist's Fireball (1)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon defeating the Boss: Heat Fist Vartarucis: "You're sending me back to sleep... You may be safe from my inferno now, but don't celebrate just yet. The darkness will consume Arad soon..."
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "Good job. The fireballs you brought will be sealed again with magic, and this time we'll make sure Vartarucis will never wake up again."

Rumor about an Epidemic

Level	27
Quest Giver	Klonter
Briefing	Klonter: "Ah, Adventurer. I don't look well, you said? I haven't slept well since I heard a rumor about an epidemic that is prevalent in my hometown, Noire Ferra. Her Majesty sent out a group of investigators escorted by the Black Rock Legion, but we lost contact with them. If they don't come back soon, Morgan and I will go look for them." <Player>: "That explains why Viola hasn't shown up every time I go to the Castaway Cave. (She worked for Saffron, but I'm worried about her. Maybe I should ask Her Majesty about this.)"
Objectives	Ask Queen Maya about the rumor of the epidemic. Meet Queen Maya: 0/1
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "You've heard the rumor about an epidemic prevalent in Noire Ferra. I've been looking into it. My investigators have returned and confirmed that an epidemic has really broken out. I'm planning to send healers and mages to contain the situation." Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Majesty, the conference between the two states ended and I don't want to overstep my bounds, seeing that I'm only a knight, but I'd like to make a suggestion on this matter as a member of your ally state. Most rumors are just rumors, but something about the rumors from Noire Ferra doesn't feel right. I suggest you send another group of investigators before medical aid."
Rewards	3,310 Exp 1,325 Gold

To the City of Noire Ferra

Level	27
Quest Giver	Queen Maya
Dungeon	City of Noire Ferra
Briefing	Queen Maya: "I value your opinion. You're a hero of the Screaming Cavern battle." Vaughn Walshuted: "Thank you, and I'd like to be included in the investigation group. At the end of the peace conference, a criminal from my country was killed in your city. That reflects badly on both states. I'd like to see through my mission as the head security for the peace envoys before I leave your city. Please allow me." Queen Maya: "...I guess it'll be rude of me to turn down such a friendly offer. Then I'll assign a Dark Elf warrior to escort you." Vaughn Walshuted: "If I have a companion, I'd like it to be <Player>. The adventurer's experience and combat prowess will be very helpful." Queen Maya: "Adventurer, you decide." <Player>: "(...I just came and you have to do this to me. WHY?!)" Vaughn Walshuted: "(Why not? Come on, it's going to be fun. Consider it a payback for your insult last time. I don't think she'll let me go by myself anyway. You cut me deep last time, don't you remember?)" <Player>: "(...Hmph, all right.)"
Objectives	Explore City of Noire Ferra with Vaughn. (City of Noire Ferra is inside Castaway Cave.)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Vaughn Walshuted: "You took the medicine you got in Underfoot, didn't you? This place remains underground. The effects of the Great Metastasis must have not reached this far. What's this pile of stones? Did the ceiling cave in?" Upon encountering the Dark Elf Militia Commander: <Player>: "Dark Elves? But something's off about them." Vaughn Walshuted: "Don't let your guard down." Upon encountering Grim Seeker Noubillus: Grim Seeker Noubillus: "My superiors were right about adventurers being attracted to this place like fireflies to light. I don't have time to enlighten you about the terrible consequences of your ignorance and recklessness. Why don't you just die in here quietly? I'll keep your abundant vital force." Vaughn Walshuted: "(...Hm...?)" Upon encountering Small Interdimensional Rift: If player is a Priest <Player>: "Imposters!" Vaughn Walshuted: "The rift in that space... Hm, I think the epidemic has sneaked in through that rift." Upon encountering Phantasmal Delezie: If player isn't from Pandemonium <Player>: "The air is thick with poison!" If player is from Pandemonium <Player>: (This swirl of poison and mana reminds me of Delezie.) Vaughn Walshuted: "...Hey, take a look over there. Isn't that the lass you were talking about?" Upon defeating Phantasmal Delezie: <Player>: "Viola!"
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "Hey, wake up. We'd better get back to Underfoot as quickly as possible. It's good that I brought some first-aid remedies with me."

Making a Treatment

Level	27
Quest Giver	Alchemist Morgan
Briefing	Morgan: "Are you two okay? I'll make you some antibodies right away." Vaughn Walshuted: "No rush. It seems this disease is more deadly to the Dark Elves than anyone else. We used some first-aid remedies I took with me, so we're not in bad shape. You need to report to your queen first. All the people of Noire Ferra are dead. And tell me how many investigators returned to Underfoot." Morgan: "...Only one returned, but by the time I arrived, he was..." Vaughn Walshuted: "I see. The epidemic spread in Noire Ferra came through an interdimensional rift, and its host was an illusion of Delezie." Morgan: "Delezie?! This is bad! I'll tell Klonter to report to Her Majesty right away. But for now, you need to be treated. ...Oh, no. I don't have enough ingredients..."
Objectives	Deliver the following ingredients to Morgan, so he can make a treatment.  Clear Cube Fragment (100)  Red Cube Fragment (50)  White Cube Fragment (50)
Upon Completion	Morgan: I'm sorry. I left in such a hurry that I forgot to bring enough ingredients. I'm ashamed that I'm asking my patients for help." Vaughn Walshuted: "It's understandable. You didn't know this epidemic was alien."

Defeat Phantasmal Delezie

Level	27
Quest Giver	Queen Maya
Dungeon	City of Noire Ferra
Briefing	Sharan: "Your Majesty, our people are struck with terror. They think Iris is right about the Apostles closing in on Arad." Queen Maya: "We must exterminate the illusion of Delezie and reassure the general populace." Vaughn Walshuted: "I'll get on it right away." Queen Maya: "No, you're the Imperial Knight Master. I can't risk your life or our treaty with your state." <Player>: "Then I'll go. I'm familiar with the structure of the place, and there's also something I want to check. And... Delezie killed someone I knew. We didn't know each other for long and she wasn't my friend, but I still want to avenge her death."
Objectives	Go to City of Noire Ferra and defeat Phantasmal Delezie. (If you complete this quest, Vaughn disappears from Underfoot.)  Phantasmal Delezie: 0/1
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon encountering Phantasmal Delezie: <Player>: "Ugh...! Too strong... But I wont be beat!" Upon defeating Phantasmal Delezie: <Player>: "It's gone... But this energy..."
Upon Completion	Queen Maya: "Adventurer, welcome back. You defeated the illusion of Delezie singlehandedly. I'm deeply impressed." <Player>: "The illusion is gone, but the energy it radiated was similar to that I felt at the Spider Kingdom, the Hero's Catacomb, and the Tyrant's Altar. The energy is similar to that of the Black Nightmare, and yet different. Iris said the energy of the Black Nightmare was eclipse by the lingering influence of the Great Metastasis, but..." Queen Maya: "I see. Then we should continue to investigate this matter. Thank you for your hard work. The spirits of Delezie's victims will now rest in peace. You've earned the privilege to ride the royal Magatha of Underfoot. It'll be useful for travelling a long distance."
