Worlds in Peril

Worlds in Peril is the fifty-eighth quest in the Devourer Saga. It requires level 52.

Dialogue
Falerin contemplates the next steps in the struggle against the Devourer even as his friend, last seen in Greenguard, returns to Lore after running an errand for Falerin on another world.

???: The unmitigated nerve! Those are no elves! They are gnomes with a glandular problem. And he himself is an overgrown dwarf!!!

Falerin: You are being distracted. You can settle your problem with Nicholas at a later date.

???: Jolly Elf indeed. And why in the world is it decorated such now? The holiday is more than a month away.

Falerin: You are supposed to be the good one you know. Focus please.

???: But, the Gully Dwarfes of Caelestia are more elven than they are!

Falerin: Eldron!

Eldron: Sorry, did you say something?

Falerin: What have you learned on Terra?

Eldron: Cartwright lived among the humans for years. He was Matthew Twain's adopted son and for years he went by the name Robert.

Eldron: He apparently killed Twain and took over. After that, he went back to his birth name.

Falerin: That is little new. Anything of his activities since? Or news of his ties to Omega?

Eldron: There was a document. It apparently informs the armies as to the orders of The'Galin. Unfortunately the document has been taken to Cartwright at the Brilhado gate here on Lore.

Falerin: Well then, since you are "The Good," I guess you will just have to aid our friends in the retrieval of that document. I can send Galrick along to aid you.

Eldron: Wait...

Falerin: Galrick.

Galrick enters.

Falerin: What is that on your hat?

Galrick: Have you seen the Huntress?

Eldron: Viscum album.

Galrick: Huh?? Falerin: Mistletoe??

Eldron: Apparently on Terra it is a tradition that you must kiss anyone you find standing under the mistletoe. Viscum album, scientific name for mistletoe.

Falerin: You really ARE asking for trouble, Galrick.

Galrick: Well, you can't fault a guy for trying.

Falerin: Try that logic with Celestra. If you survive be sure to let me know how it worked out. I am sending you along with Eldron to address trouble.

Eldron: .....

Falerin: Or you can just go back to your comfort on Caelestia and let the problem go. It's not, after all, your problem. Why get involved?

Eldron: That would not be an act of good.

Falerin: Wouldn't it?

Eldron: Furthermore, you are involved and the Farpoint needs to be aware of your activities.

Falerin: Tirlerion is not an immediate concern. I am sure you can just let it go for now. I will survive... somehow.

Eldron: You are manipulative as always, but very well, I will aid them. Afterward however, I am going back to Terra to address those so-called elves once and for all.

Falerin disappears,

Galrick: So the mistletoe might be a little to much, you think?

You enter.

«You»: You again? What are you and Galrick doing here?

Eldron: You may call me Eldron. Falerin has requested my aid in a matter of some importance.

«You»: What is going on?

Eldron: We will attempt to steal a command document from right under the nose of the Network and replace it with our own.

«You»: Steal a command document? Under the nose of the Network?

Eldron: First you may wish to do some research. I have located some resources and other people which may help you, or you can go ahead and try by trial and error.
 * Research the Network (opens in a new window)
 * Continue

Eldron: Now I will disguise you to look like a Devourer agent and then you must bluff your way through.

Eldron disguises you as a Brilhado necromancer.

Eldron: This is what you will look like to a member of the Network. But if you begin a battle with them, the illusion will evaporate.

Eldron: If you choose to bluff your way past the Network, you will need to answer their questions. Otherwise, you can choose to just battle your way to their command center.

Eldron: Good luck!
 * Try to bluff your way through!
 * Just fight your way through!

If you bluff:


 * Guard: You there! Halt! Before any may pass, we must be sure you are one of us. You will answer my questions well, or you shall perish.


 * You are then given 20 questions. If you answer them all correctly you go straight to the end-dialogue of the quest. If you give the guard a wrong answer, you will fight one battle, then proceed to the next question.

If you fight:


 * 10 BATTLES


 * Full Heal after every battle

«You»: Okay, we got through. Let's go in there and get that document!

«You»: Oh. A nice heavy-duty safe. Either of you a professional safe-cracker?

Eldron: It is ALL yours. I'd say it will take a good bit of dexterity and intelligence, and a pinch of luck, to open it. How are you holding up on those stats??


 * Safe Cracking!


 * How good are you at opening this safe? It will take DEX, INT, and a little LUK to do it!


 * Difficulty: 30


 * Stat Used: Dexterity


 * How good are you at opening this safe? It will take DEX, INT, and a little LUK to do it!


 * Difficulty: 30


 * Stat Used: Intelligence


 * How good are you at opening this safe? It will take DEX, INT, and a little LUK to do it!


 * Difficulty: 30


 * Stat Used: Luck

Eldron: Good work! Now to read the document...


 * Cartwright,


 * The master wishes to observe matters peaceably here. As per previous orders, signs of union should be carefully evaluated. If it is true that the people of Lore are willing to put survival among their immediate needs, then there is hope here. Do not take further action at this time.


 * Louis M. Zephyr.

«You»: So The'Galin is ordering them to wait?

Eldron: Curious. This is, I think better than any forgery we could hope to make. Let us reseal the envelope and leave at once to make our report.

Galrick: Er-- someone is coming!

Eldron: No time to run! I will make us all invisible. Just be very, very quiet!

Ryuusei enters with a Brilhado necromancer.

Necromancer: The orders were magicked into your secure safe, Lord.

Ryuusei Cartwright: Very good. It is time to determine our moves...

Necromancer: What does the Master command, Lord?

Ryuusei Cartwright: We launch our attacks as planned, and show no mercy to our enemies.

Necromancer: Yes, Lord.

The two leave.

Eldron: It seems that Cartwright is making his own initiative.

«You»: He lied directly about his orders.

«You»: Tell me again why you couldn't make us invisible the whole time?? Seems that would have been easier...

Galrick: Yeah, right?

Eldron: I can only cast Invisibility once per day.

Galrick: MP potion doesn't do it for you, huh?

Eldron: Time to return to Falerin and report.

Eldron: I have arranged some things that might offer you further aid.

Eldron: Since you cannot always have help with you directly on your journey, these spells will allow you to summon a spirit double of your allies to aid you.


 * Quest again!
 * Leave!
