The Dragon War Finale

The Dragon War Finale is a quest and the fifth one to belong to the first saga ever of AdventureQuest.

It is the only Dragon War quest currently available—in this case, through the Time Scrolls from the Library in the Isle D'Oriens.

Synopsis
Thanks to the Frozen Claymore, the Chosen defeats the Ultra Magma Dragon, Akriloth, who leaves no body to be raised from the dead by the Mysterious Necromancer as it explodes. The Elemental Spirit of Fire, Nifaria, however, speaks of the imbalance that the dragon's slaying has caused and tells the Chosen of his duty to raise Akriloth's only son so that the element of fire may regain its former state...

Dialogue
Moon Called: Our friends are already on the battlefield fighting... they need your help! I have never seen a battle so fierce. But we must win! We must stop the evil fire dragon!

Adventurer: I am so jealous! I wanted the Ice Claymore from Twilly but he said he was holding on to it for you. You are so lucky! Do not worry, when we finally break through the fire army, I will watch your back when you fight Akriloth!

Evil Firezard Minion: Rarrrwwrrrrraaarrrrr! (Translation: "Akriloth is going to eat you all and go eat your families... ouch, Artix's foot hurts right there.)

Enemy Fire Knight: Help! I've fallen and I can't get up! ... Haha when I do get up I am going to stab all of your friends there in the back! Enemy Fire Knight: OUCH! That was not very nice... I hope Akriloth breathes fire and burns your house down! Enemy Fire Knight: YEOWCH! ... heh... you call that a kick? I bet you get beaten by level 1 frogzards! Akriloth is going to crush your puny human army and eat you as a snack! You do not have a .... Enemy Fire Knight: *Super high pitched voice* ... chance.
 * Kick 'em
 * Kick 'em... again!
 * One more, aim low!

Artix von Krieger: I just knew you would be here! Tis' an honor to fight by thy side! I came here to ask Twilly to heal me so I can get back to helping to defeat the fire monsters. That evil Dragon's days are numbered. Artix von Krieger: Akriloth, the Evil Fire Dragon taunting us from that volcano, has killed many of our fellow adventurers, and destroyed several towns. He even stole the magical Fire Orb which made him nearly invincible! Artix von Krieger: Since he obtained the Fire Orb, he has been attacking everyone on random encounters. The only thing that could stop him was an ancient weapon known as the Ice Scythe... long story... but it is the Ice Claymore now! Artix von Krieger: All of the adventurers in the world came together and beat the impossible odds to recover the Ice Claymore; Fire Demons... Ice Demons... Undead Dragons... Artix von Krieger: ... and now that we have the Ice Claymore, it all comes down to this final battle. All of the adventurers united against the most evil monster in the world! When we get through their troops, you will take the Ice Claymore..... Artix von Krieger: ... and... BRING THAT DRAGON DOWN! ... we are counting on you.

Twilly: *Huggles* Yea! Now that you are here we will win for sure! Twillies has a gift from Yulgar, it's the Ice Claymore! It does good damage against Fire Monsters, but it will do MASSSSSSSSSIVE damage to Akriloth!

You now possess the Frozen Claymore.


 * To Battle!

'''Akriloth, the insanly powerful fire dragon, remains perched upon his volcanic home, commanding his army to block your path. Along with the help of the other Adventurers, you must fight your way to him! The bar to the left shoes how many of Akriloth's forces remain. There are thousands of players on their way to join you in this battle!'''

After 500,000 monsters were defeated...


 * 1 BATTLE
 * Ultra Magma Dragon, Akriloth

'''Amazing! You have defeated the evil Fire Dragon Akriloth!''' '''You did it... you really did it!'''

«You»: It is finally over... «You»: I have saved these lands from the greatest monster of all time. I only wish... I only wish that there was some cool theme music to mark this incredible victory. «You»: Like a... "Da Daaa Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" «You»: Or perhaps a... "Do Da Doooooo" «You»: DadadadadaDAAAAAAA Dooo da dooooo! Dededededadada! DAAAAAA DAAAAAAA DOOOOOOOOOOOM! «You»: ... or something. «You»: The important thing is that we were victorious. History was made here... today... on this very battle ground (and I have a really cool sword now too!) «You»: But now that Akriloth is gone ... «You»: What is next?

Nifaria comes out from the volcano.

Nifaria: Do you know you have just done, human!? «You»: Whew... I was worried things were going to get boring here for a moment. Erm, *coughs* I mean... Who are you? Nifaria: I am Nifaria, the Elemental Spirit of Fire! (Read my name tag next time.) «You»: I have never seen an elemental spirit before. Nifaria: That is because you are the first human to do so... Nifaria: Thou hast slain Akriloth, the most powerful fire creature in this world... are you aware of the consequences of thy action? «You»: *Obviously this will require some roleplaying* Mi'lady Spirit... Akriloth was a dragon of evil. He was defeated fairly in battle to protect the innocent. Nifaria: That may be true, but slaying him has caused a great imbalance in elemental power. Nifaria: Human, this may be difficult for you to understand... but this world is a battleground for the great elemental beings... Nifaria: ... by slaying Akriloth you have put all fire beings in grave peril. «You»: Are you trying to say by killing Akriloth, that I have endangered all fire beings in the world? Nifaria: Yes «You»: Then why did you not just say that in the first place? Nifaria: Do not anger me human! «You»: (This discussion is getting really heated) Nifaria, what can I do to reset balance? Nifaria: In my hand is a fire dragon egg... it is about to hatch. Nifaria: When it hatches in a few moments... it will be the only great fire dragon left in this world... «You»: ... (Does this mean I get to kill two dragons in one DAY!?!?!?! OMG OMG OMG OMG!) Nifaria: You will raise it... «You»: RAISE IT!? You want me to raise a baby dragon? Nifaria: Yes. You will raise Akriloth's only son. Take him with you on your adventures and raise him as you see fit.

Nifaria gives you the egg.

Nifaria: Akriloth's son will grow much faster than the other dragons you have seen... Nifaria: Try not to let him eat you. «You»: *Gulps* I will do my best to raise him to be a noble dragon.. a protector of humans... Nifaria: *Chuckles* Thou art so going to be dragon food. «You»: ... Nifaria: Farewell...

Nifaria leaves.

«You»: ... «You»: First I slay a dragon... then I get a lecture from some elemental spirit... Now I need to raise a baby dragon? What else could happen today?

Mysterious Necromancer walks in.

Mysterious Necromancer: Mwahahahahaha... *hrmph!?* Excuse me... what are you still doing here? «You»: I guess that dialogue took a bit longer than I thought. Um... aren't you the Mysterious Necromancer that created the Undead Dragon from the dead Darkness Dragon? Mysterious Necromancer: Yessss... You have not seen a dead Fire dragon laying around anywhere by chance have you? «You»: Why yes... "laying all around" was a good way to put it. He exploded. *Wipes some goo off his foot* Mysterious Necromancer: Seriously «You»: Yes Mysterious Necromancer: I am leaving. «You»: ... Mysterious Necromancer: Are you sure you exploded him? I mean... an undead super ultra magma dragon would really own in another undead war. «You»: He definitely exploded... Mysterious Necromancer: DANGIT! Mysterious Necromancer: By the way, I just thought you would like to know that I have used evil magic to create an indestructable force of mutant worm monsters which I will unleash on the small defenseless town of Battleon soon.... Mysterious Necromancer: Enjoy your victory while you can... DragonSlayer. *mumbles something about exploded dragons under his breath*

Mysterious Necromancer leaves.

«You»: Evil army of Worm monsters? Elemental spirits engaged in an epic battle? ... looks like things are getting interesting again... and I liked the way he said "Dragonslayer" (Now would be a good time to look at your class)

You gain the class Dragonslayer.

«You»: It is time to start training this baby dragon... «You»: This is weird... what is this "Dragon Armor" option under armors?

You gain Dragon Rider.

«You»: Wow... the baby dragon hatched. «You»: OMG!!! He is huge!!!!!!

The Dragon War Saga SUCCESS!!!!!!
