Nilia: Thanks for meeting me here. I knew I could trust you... Listen, there is someone called Goborah that you need to see. in the Oragh Swamp... Nilia: ...in the lowlands between the Dwarfhold Mountains and GreenGuard Forest. She knows where this insidious "ZardMaster" is. You: How do you know that knows what you say she knows ? (hrmf) Nilia: Let's just say I have a way with others. My chariams is maxed *wink* ... Cloudzard: SQUAWWWKK!!!! You: Watch out !! Cloudzard takes Nilia and flies off. You: What in the name of Akriloth's beard was that ?! Moved so fast I could barely see it. Must have been one of those mutant zards... You: I need to hurry on to Oragh Swamp and find this "Goborah" before these new zards can strike again! Although you move quickly, you are not able to outrace nightfall. And Oragh Swamp is not a place to be after dark... You: Eegh! This place gives me the creeps, even more than Granemor Cemetary! Undead, I can deal with undead. It's buzzing, slithering, slimming things that bug me the most. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ You: I shouldn't have said " bug" ... 1 BATTLE Skeeter You: Ah yes... No better mosquito repellant than cold steel and bits of magic. Swamp Trog Ergh... That wasn't very nice of you to kill my pet! You: Uh....Hello? I am sure we can talk this over... 1 BATTLE Swamp Trog Goborah:oh well, insects are kind of hard to get really attached to. I've always like leechrats more anyway. So cuddly, and smell so good roasting. *slobbers* You: *shivers* Uh, sorry for nearly beating you to a pulp just then, but I was wondering if you could help me find someone named Goborah? Goborah: Haha *SNORT* ! That's me! I'm Goborah. They call me "Goborah the Lovely" around here. So what do you want, Clean-Skin? You: Nilia sent me here to find you. She's the sister of the famed Frogzard Hunter. For awhile now a new breed of Zards has been terrorizing the countryside. You: These Zards captured the Frogzard Hunter, and a short time ago captured Nilia as well! Nilia said that you know who or what is behind this. So, uh... do you? Goborah: You humans are CRAZY...always lookin' to get yourselves into trouble. You got some NERVE coming into my territory asking for my help. But, yes, Nilia was right. I do know. Goborah: Nilia onced saved me from a rabid Zarlath so I guess I owe you humans something . The person behind this mess calls himself the ZARDMASTER.... Goborah: ....and it's no wonder -- his given name is DILWOD SACKELBERRY. He is a fallen mage's apprentice who has always believed that Zards and thier kind should be the REAL rulers of Lore, not you human-types. You: Dilwod Sackelberry? Hehe. * clears throat* Do you know where this freak is? Goborah: Yeah, I do. And it is SUICIDE for you to go there. He's at the old VORADAK TEMPLE in the coastal jungle, about two days journey east of here. Goborah: You don't have very many health potions do you? Here, you can have some of mine. You may need 'em. You: Potions. Everywhere I go someone wants to give me potions. And it's always two or three potions, as if that would do any good. You know what, KEEP your potions. Goborah: Again, I rest my case, humans certainly are CRAZY. TAKE THE POTIONS. Goborah gives you potions until your total number of healing potions is 10. You: Well, okay...thanks for all the potions. I really hope I don't need them. They kind of make me giggly if I take too many. Goborah: You probably won't NEED them all. You probably won't live long enough to drink'em. Goborah: I gotta get going! I can smell my B.U.R.P. burning in the oven. Two long days later.... You: Whoa. Voradak Temple! A place of worship for many Elemental Lords. You: Until recentl, anyway, Rumor has it that the temple lost its magical connection to the world, so high elemental priests found it useless as a place to call upon thier Lords'energies. ZardMaster: Energies that are useless to fools who fail to recognize the TRUE lords of Lore! The ZARDS! You: ZardMaster!! Or should I say... DILWOD SACKELBERRY! What have you done with the Zard Hunter and Nilia? ZardMaster: They await you in the sanctum of the temple, dead or alive, I don't know. ZardMaster: *cackle* You see, I left thier fate to my beautiful SuperZards! And now, you shall face them all by yourself! ZardMaster: Heehee... Muuhahahahahahahaaa!!!! 1 BATTLE InfernoZard WhaleZard CloudZard NightZard LightZard ToadZard BlizZard StormZard ZardMaster: I ... I can't believe it... You SURVIVED!! My poor beautiful little SuperZards!!! *sniffle* You: Cry all you want to, Zardmaster! You're next! Your plan to conquer the world is finished! ZardMaster: We shall see about that! The Zards aren’t ALL I have been mutating!!! Come and get me! 1 BATTLE <>ZardMaster Nilia: Thank you. thank you, thank you!!! I couldn't take another minute being chained in that filth and listening to the ZardMasters incessant babbling. Frogzard Hunter: Crickey!! Me either sis! You'd be surprised how much more, er, ZARD-POO these superzards make than the regular variety, mate! Nilia: Is there some way you can repay our friend here, brother? Frogzard Hunter: Why---Sure! Let's make this adventurer an HONORARY FROGZARD HUNTER! Here you go, mate! You gain Frogzard Hunter Armor Frogzard Hunter: Your new armor gives you higher level earth protection, and makes your hits stronger against all types of zards! Frogzard Hunter: Your new armor gives you higher level earth protection, and makes your hits stronger too! Go find and exterminate the last of those mutant Zards!! | ||
