Welcome note
Warlic: Interesting... very interesting. I am Warlic, the blue mage. How can I help you, <class name>?
Elementals
Pressing Elementals Random Quest
Warlic: Something has thrown the elementals in the area out of balance.
Warlic: My friends in the mining town of Lymcrest are having some problems with them.
A Named Elemental
Warlic: Out in the quarry several very strong elementals are causing havoc.
Warlic: Please go and stop the first one that you run across, to help them keep in check.
What's mine is mine
Warlic: Several of the mine shafts in the area have become infested with dangerous elementals.
Warlic: If you can clear out one of the shafts, the humans and dwarves who live there, can start to get their town back on track.
Miner's Barracks
Warlic: The Barracks where the miners live is being swarmed by furious elementals.
Warlic: Miner Thirtyniner, the foreman, thinks that they might be after a special item inside the barracks.
Other Quests
Warlic: Lymcrest needs help, and there is the matter of the letter I sent to you...
Save Lymcrest!
Warlic: I will make these quests available to you in exchange for Elemental Essences from the Elemental Quests.
Warlic: Recently the mining town of Lymcrest, to the west and south of here, has been having a lot of trouble with the local elemental population.
Warlic: Something has thrown off the balance between the elements and has driven them mad.
Warlic: To add to their troubles, the river that runs beside the town... the river itself... has been set on fire.
Warlic: I would like you to go investigate this river of fire. See if you can help the miners. I will see if I can find the source of the elemental imbalance.
Warlic: I see, Xan is behind the river of fire. All of the elemental disturbances are most likely his doing as well.
Warlic: You may have already found this out for yourself, but I should warn you if you wish to continue helping me. Xan is a very dangerous foe.
Warlic:: He has been after me for years, and if he sees you as my ally, he will also be after you at all costs. His hate for me runs very deep.
Warlic: It all goes back to the time that we both spent at the magic academy in Swordhaven. Xan and I were always competitive...
Warlic: ... but when it came to the affections of Jaania, we were out of control. One day there was an... accident...
Warlic: Xan was engulfed in flames, and the only thing that I could do to save him was to change the normal fire to a healing fire.
Warlic: The flames that surround his body are the only things keeping him alive, but he lives in constant agony.
Warlic: For all his madness and hatred, I am glad that I was able to save him... but poor, beautiful Jaania...
Warlic: Excuse me, I was lost in thought. Back to the threat at hand. I think I can change the river back to its natural water state.
Warlic: But I will need a sample of the flaming water from its source. It flows from a fire cave in the elemental mountains.
Warlic: Bring me a sample of the pure flaming water, so that I may test my theory. We will save Lymcrest together, <player name>!
Warlic: Xan has actually changed the nature of the water itself. Any normal water poured into the river will set on fire.
Warlic: I might be able to reverse the process. There is a spring of purest elemental water in the mountains.
Warlic: To get the spring you will have to clear the mountain pass. It is normally guarded by wind elementals...
Warlic: But there is a Wind Cyclops guarding the mountain pass now. Any traveler who gets too close gets blown off the mountaintop.
Warlic: If I enchant the bottle before you clear the pass, the magic will wear off before you can get the water sample...
Warlic:: ... and the water will lose its purity. A way must be cleared before you can get the sample.
Warlic: If you can defeat the cyclops and clear the pass, return to me and I will enchant a container for the spring water.
Warlic:: The enchanted bottle is ready for you to get a sample from the purest part of the Pure Pool, the waterfall that feeds the pool...
Warlic: ... but I learned something in Lymcrest that you might find interesting. Many years ago before the village even had a name...
Warlic: ... a baby boy named Xan was born under unusual circumstances. As he grew it became apparent that he possessed some natural skill in magic.
Warlic: The miners were made nervous by his skill with magic, which is common with the magically gifted, we are often misunderstood.
Warlic: In this small mining village, there were no other children to play with, and young Xan was hungry for attention...
Warlic: So Xan tried to get attention the only way he knew how, by causing bad things to happen and hurting innocent people.
Warlic: Xan, of course, was too clever to get caught but everyone suspected that the strange fires in the village were his doing.
Warlic: As Xan grew to be a young man, he became proud of the villager's fear... which he mistook for respect.
Warlic: Eventually, tragedy struck and Xan's parents were killed in another mysterious fire, the day that Xan left for the Magic Academy in Swordhaven.
Warlic:: The fires stopped that day in Lymcrest. I'm not sure if Xan just couldn't control his power or if he was just always dangerously insane...
Warlic: ... but it appears that Xan has returned to punish the miners of Lymcrest who he felt always treated him with less respect than he deserved.
Warlic:: We HAVE to stop Xan and change this river back before Lymcrest is "punished" further! We have no time to waste!
Warlic: Now that the pass is clear, head to the Pure Pool and take a sample of the pure elemental water for me, while I prepare the counter-spell.
Warlic: I have great news! You did it!
Warlic:: The pure elemental water worked. We've started a reaction that will change the river of fire back to water. Lymcrest is safe...
Warlic: ... for a while. Lymcrest is still in danger. It will always be in danger... as long Xan is in possession of the Pyronomicon.
Warlic: We don't have any choice, <player name>. We have to try to sneak into Xan's volcanic fortress and take the Pyronomicon any way we can.
Dragon Egg
Warlic: A Dragon Egg is not a matter to be taken lightly. Let us be swift with this most interesting quest.
Warlic's Tent
Warlic: A Dragon Egg? So you have five eggs and can't tell them apart? Interesting. Please, step into the tent and tell me more.
The Tome
Warlic: You must re-enter my Mage Tower and recover the Tome of Summoning from the upper-most floor.
Strings of Flame
Warlic: We must summon an unspeakably powerful creature to determine which egg is the right one. To summon "IT" I require several reagents! #1 Bag of Fire Yarn - Venture into the Fire Cave, north of here, and see if you can find Bag of Fire Yarn.
Brickhead
Warlic: The creature we are summoning is incredibly dangerous. Let's see, I still require several more reagents. Indestructible Litter - Go into the Earth Cave to the east. It is a dirty job, but you must defeat a Stone Head boss and take his rubble.
You're All Wet
Warlic: I fear the creature we summon might be too difficult to control. Just in case you should get a powerful water weapon. Bag of Fish! - Travel to the southern waterfall and bring back a bag of Salmon.
Ol' Wind Bag
Warlic: We just need one more thing to summon the monster that will show us which egg is the Dragon Egg. Bag of Wind-nip! - Mmm, wind-nip. Wind elementals just cannot get enough of the stuff. Search the wind cave to the North.
The Summoning!
Warlic:: We are ready to summon the monster who can determine the egg. I must warn you again, this is extremely dangerous.
THE EGG!
Warlic: We did it! You should return to Twilly and find a safe place to hide the egg until it hatches.
Talk
Elementals
Warlic: Elementals? Indeed, this is why I am here. Xan has twisted these mountains creating monsters of elemental evil.
Xan
Warlic: Xan? Alas, our conflict has continued for some time. I do regret what happened between us that caused his affliction.
Blue Mage
Warlic: Blue Mage? Ah, you see Black, White and Red were already taken. Interesting, indeed!
Portal
Warlic: Portals? Portals are magical gateways th... oh, you already know that. They have been quite handy since I found them and turned them on.
Weapon Shop
Warlic: <Player name>, I appreciate you helping my friends in the mining town. To thank you, I would like to make special elemental weapons for you.
Warlic: Bring me one of the metal weapons and some elemental essences you will find in the quest.
Warlic: I will enchant the metal weapon with the element of your choice... Fire, Water, Stone or Wind.
