Drill Master Vygan may be found at the top of Fortress Talishan. You say, 'Hail, Drill Master Vygan' Drill Master Vygan says 'I am a Drill Master of the Legion of Cabilis. I have no time for idle chitchat. Be off if you were not summoned to this fortress! Find that guild which was chosen for you as an egg.' You say, 'I am a true warrior of the legion.' Drill Master Vygan says 'If you are you will have proof; else you will have the wrath of the Legion upon you for such a claim.' Give him your Legionnaire's Mancatcher. Drill Master Vygan says 'Ah, I have heard much of your deeds as of late ______, but there is still much to be [done].' You say, 'What is to be done?' Drill Master Vygan says 'It seems as though there is an uprising starting to brew and the War Baron would like a [legionnaire] to handle the situation.' You say, 'I am a legionnaire.' Drill Master Vygan says 'Yes you are. I see you are willing to possibly sacrifice yourself for the cause. That is good. Take this container and hunt down their messengers. They are the ones that relay battle plans to the different tribes. Their combined messages will reveal the master plan. Go now and do not return until you have them all.' He hands you a Book of Bindings, a 4-slot TINY container. You need to gather four different pieces called An Unfinished Note and combine them in the book. 1. The first may be found off A Goblin Messenger in Warsliks Woods, near the southern entrance to the goblin fort. 2. The second may be found off A Sarnak Messenger in The Overthere. 3. The third may be found off A Goblin Messenger in the Frontier Mountains near the entrance to the Mines of Nurga. 4. The fourth may be found off A Sarnak Messenger at the Lake of Ill Omens near the zoneline to the Frontier Mountains. ? Combine the four pieces in the book to receive ________________, ? give this to Vygan. Drill Master Vygan says 'Hmm. . . even if the writing wasn't as smudged as it is, I still would not be able to decipher the hidden message. You must now take this and find someone with the ability to read it. I hear there is such a person on patrol but I cannot recall where.' You receive the note back. The person you're looking for is Trooper Drix, on patrol at the small ruins north of the pit in the Field of Bone. You say, 'Hail, Trooper Drix' Trooper Drix says 'Can't you see I am busy on patrol!' Give him the note. Trooper Drix says 'Ah, I see you know my true [calling].' You say, 'What calling?' Trooper Drix says 'I am the leading authority on restoring and deciphering hidden messages. I can probably make out the message if you can bring me back some [items] I commonly use.' You say, 'What items?' Trooper Drix says 'I will need your message, a frost crystal, a sarnak war braid, and some silver oxide. Bring these items back to me and be quick about it.' ? You receive "______________", a 4-slot container. + ("Drix's Satchel" is not in Lucy's database.) 1. Frost crystals are droppable and may be foraged in the Dreadlands. 2. Sarnak War Braids drop from a Sarnak berserker in The Overthere. If they have one, it will be equipped. 3. Silver Oxide drops off of a A Bloodgill Goblin Scavenger in the Lake of Ill Omen, found on one of the pillars underwater near the entrance to Veksar. Combine the note and the three other items in the box to make ? "______________", give this to Drix. + (This "Drix's Satchel" is not in Lucy's database either.) Trooper Drix says 'Let me see now.' Trooper Drix uses the mixture you brought him and spreads it evenly across your document. It settles into all the wrinkles and with the speed of a Master, Trooper Drix uses the sarnak braid to seal the pieces as one. You receive a sealed note. Trooper Drix says 'Take this sealed note back to whoever you need to. I dare not say what it reads out loud.' Return to Vygan and give him the note. Drill Master Vygan says 'I see you have returned in one piece. That is good. You have shown that you are a true warrior of the Legion indeed! Take this, and show that you are more than a legionnaire. I fear we may need just that [before this issue is over].' You receive Champion Crown Plans. You say, 'Before what issue is over?' Drill Master Vygan says 'Do not concern yourself for now. Rejoice instead and seek out Weaponsmith Grugl to guide you in forging your new weapon. I must speak to War Baron Eator regarding the welfare of Cabilis now.' + There are quests after this one, has this text changed? + Perhaps you could speak to War Baron Eator yourself. To Weaponsmith Grugl (also in East Cabilis, just outside the fort): You say, 'Hail, Weaponsmith Grugl' Weaponsmith Grugl sets down a blood-spattered mace. 'Come to assist in the testing of the bashing equipment? Nah. Not you. You are too small. You must be here to practice your forging.' You say, 'How do I forge a Champion's Mancatcher?' Weaponsmith Grugl says 'To forge a Champion mancatcher a blacksmith of great skill would need a steel rod, a forge hammer, and a forged Champion mancatcher crown. That crown is forged with a geozite tool, crown plans, a raw crown, and an opal.' Grugl sells the rod, hammer, and a mancatcher crown. Opals may also be purchased in East Cabilis from the jewelery merchant. Combine the plans, an opal, the geozite tool, and the mancatcher crown in a forge to craft a Champion's Mancatcher Crown ? (trivial?). Combine the Champion's Mancatcher Crown, a steel rod, and a forging hammer to craft the Champion's Mancatcher ? (trivial? no-fail?). Congratulations, you've received your Champion's Mancatcher! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reward(s): Champion's Mancatcher MAGIC ITEM LORE ITEM NO TRADE Slot: BACK PRIMARY Skill: Piercing Atk Delay: 30 DMG: 12 AC: 6 Sv Magic: +10 WT: 12.0 Size: GIANT Class: WAR Race: IKS Slot 1, Type 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------
