Arch Duke Xog appears surprised at your words. 'You know of Greenmist? The Unholy Khukri of Rile? We once had knowledge of this weapon, but when our great cities were destroyed in 1056 A.G., so, too, were all the great libraries. We lost all records. An explorer named [Argest] claimed to have found one library still intact. Pure babble.' You say, 'Who is Argest?' Arch Duke Xog says 'Once a Lord of Pain, Argest is now a great explorer. No lizard has seen more of Kunark than he. He returned one season ago to tell tales of an [ancient library]. He said that he believed that there he would find a tome which would reveal the location of the ancient crusader weapon, Greenmist.' You say, 'What about the ancient libraries?' Arch Duke Xog says 'There are many ancient libraries yet to be discovered. Our once great cities have been decimated, if not by our foes, then by nature itself. Within the outlands are many ruins which have yet to reveal themselves. We look forward to the discovery of these ruins by such explorers as Lord [Argest] the Great.' You say, 'Where is argest?' Arch Duke Xog becomes despondent at your question. 'Alas, our chance of locating Greenmist is lost as long as Argest remains missing. Reports have come in from the Legion's deep range patrols that he may be in the Frontier Mountain range. At least, that is where the patrol captain found Argest's walking staff. He might have been captured, killed or even digested!!' PART I ------ First you must collect six scrolls. The scrolls are located in the following places: I: Kaesora - from the "failed crypt raider." (He also drops a tattered note that reads: I have found one more of the scrolls and have learned the final three were en route to be rescribed in some ancient city called Torsis. When I find them I shall see that the final four are rejoined in my masters realm.) The Reference to Torsis leads you to the City of Mist. II, III, and IV: Dropped by Spectral Courier. V: Castle Mistmoore - drops off the dark librarian. VI: Also Castle Mistmoore - drops off the Dark Librarian Assistant. PART II ------- After collecting the scrolls, you must see and free the imprisoned Argest. Argest, the lost and imprisoned crusader is located in the Frontier Mountains. Kill many, many penskeepers and penmasters (and their place holders) until you obtain the keys listed below: * A Bone Key * A Bone Necklace * A Stone Key Next, use the keys to get to the inner jail area. Now wait until an iksar prisoner wearing gold chain type armor spawns in the iksar jail cell (during daytime). This is Argest. Give him the three keys and receive the dagger looking object which will operate the stupendous machine he mentions (directly across in the main jail area in the Temple of Droga, looks like a pottery wheel). Take the six scrolls and the dagger object from Argest, combine the items in the machine and recieve a "stupendous tome" lore, no drop. Turn in the Stupendous Tome and your Hero's Khukri to Arch Duke Xog, who says: 'A legible tome of the scrolls of Vok Na Zov! What a find this is!! May the unholy curses of Cazic flow through you. Please accept the weapon of a Lord of Pain. To abandon it is to abandon our ways and earn yourself the hatred of our order.' Your faction standing with Crusaders Of Greenmist got better. Your faction standing with Legion Of Cabilis got better. You gain experience (about a blue AAXP at 59!) You receive the Grand Lord Khukri. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reward(s): (updated, still needs FRG tag) Lord of Pain's Khukri MAGIC ITEM NO DROP Slot: PRIMARY Charges: 3 Skill: 1H Slashing Atk Delay: 24 DMG: 12 STR: +5 WIS: +5 INT: +10 SV MAGIC: +25 Effect: Enduring Breath (Any Slot, Casting: Instant) at Level 20 WT: 4.0 Size: MEDIUM Class: SHD Race: HUM ERU DEF TRL OGR GNM IKS Slot 1, Type 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
