ToA: Quest Log

The following is a list of the jobs undertaken by D-squad. The game is obviously not as mechanical in nature, so this section is more of a general outline of what needs to be done, as well as what has been done.

Active
Tasks that are still underways.

The Rundown (Main Quest)
Quest giver: Syndra Silvane

Location: Somewhere in the jungle.

Promised reward: Land in New Cyre.

Started: Session 1

This is the main reason for D-squads presence in Xen'drik. The task is straightforward: Locate Artus Cimber, and bring him back. After pressing her for a reason, she revealed that she was mostly interested the source of his longevity, and that he was of lesser concern. He was last seen leaving Stormhold with a strange lizardman.


 * Most likely would have stopped by either Camp Justice or Camp Righteous before heading even further into the jungle.
 * Artus Cimber carries a ring that belongs to the frost giants. It is most likely the same item Syndra wants.
 * According to Asharra, The Guardian Naga of Orulunga is the best bet on acquiring Cimber's whereabouts.
 * Syndra is Sick! She has conrtracted the jungle disease, and it seems her life might depend upon our quest.
 * Syndra has also revealed that the land we have been promised might be more difficult to acquire, given current tensions between New Cyre and Breland. Looks like we're gonna get shafted.

The Pursuit of Knowledge
Quest giver: Syndra

Location: Xen'drik.

Promised reward: Gold

Started: Session 1

Of secondary concern, Syndra wants us to document the local gods and spirits. Progress can be seen under Gods and Spirits (Once we get around to updating that section).


 * During our audience with Syndra, we handed over documents detailing what we had learned so far (up to session 17). A stunned Syndra handed over X gold for our efforts.

The Oracle of the Jungle
Quest giver: Asharra of Kir Sabal

Location: The jungle

Quest started: Session 9

Deep in the jungle lies Orulunga, a once mighty ziggurat.


 * Asharra has told you of a Guardian Naga who resides there
 * The Guardian Naga is an oracle, and thus sees much of what goes on within the jungle

The Naga might be one of the only people who would know where to find Artus Cimber.

Completed
Tasks that have been completed to some level of satisfaction.

Well of the Dead
Quest giver: Apolie

Location: A well on the outskirts of Beggars Palace.

Promised reward: Information on Artus Cimbers whereabouts, and information on some local spirits.

Started: Session 1

Finished: Session 1

A local water source had recently been overrun by undead. In order to cement his rule, the beggar prince Apolie tasked us with clearing it out in order to cement is position of power (and help his people I guess).


 * Observing the well from afar, the area was indeed infested by undead. More specifically, 4 zombies (2 of them big) and 1 tiger.
 * Someone may have died.

After killing them all, Apolie shared that is Cimber had entered the jungle, he was most likely headed past either Camp Justice or Camp Righteous. He also noted on how weird it was for a lizardman to guide a human into the jungle.

Ghoul Bounty
Quest giver: Liara Portyr

Location: The jungle (and the Ghoul Cave).

''Promised reward: 20 gold pr. ghoul head. (200 of which is needed for "necessary papers")''

Started: Session 3

Finished: Session 5

Ghoul attacks have been plaguing Fort Beluarian for quite some time. Liara has tasked D-squad with killing some of them to lessen the burden on the fort.


 * Following tracks into the jungle, we came across their lair, about a day away from the fort.
 * The ghouls were led by the ghoul king Adun Anagonye.

In the end, we managed to kill 11 ghouls (including the king). We got an extra 40 gold for the death of the king. We furthermore expect that the ghoul attacks on the fort will end, since their main organizer is dead.

Flowers of Nangalore
Quest giver: Matzen

Location: Nangalore

Promised reward: A cure for Daedalus

Started: Session 6

Finished: Session 9

Daedalus has come down with the sickness (ghoul fever), and his condition is worsening. Matzen has taken us back to her village, where we were told the only known cure was a certain black lotus found only in Nangalore. While a single flower is enough, 2 would truly help the locals


 * To aid us in our quest, the locals tied Daedalus' fate to the village triceratops. He thereby regained his powers for a limited time.
 * After a fruitless search, we manage to secure as many flowers as we want from Queen Zalkoré, as long as she receives Bucket in return.
 * The queen changes the deal, we only get 1 flower each, and no help in finding the lotus.
 * The queen is clearly not there mentally there, but we mange to get a single flower of her. Neb attempts to steal a second lotus, but fails. Battle ensues.
 * We manage to kill the queen, but Daedalus gets turned to stone. We recover 5 flowers.

Choosing to skip returning to the village, we instead make a long and arduous journey to the Monastery of Kir Sabal. (that we in no way just skipped over).

Abandoned/Failed
Tasks that have either been abandoned or failed.

The Frost Giants Cometh
Quest giver: Liara Portyr

Location: The jungle.

Promised reward: Information from the other camps on Artus Cimber, and updated bullshit papers.

Started: Session 5

Abandoned: Session 14-15

New info: session 24

There have been troubling reports of frost giants in the jungle near Fort Beluarian. Liara want's to know where they are heading, and why they are here.


 * In a random encounter with the frost giant Thyra of Permafrost, we learned that the frost giants are searching the jungle for Artus Cimber, and have for years. Seems he has a ring that belongs to them.
 * Deciding that it wasn't worth the hassle, and that the deal wasn't good enough anyhow, we decided to forgo the fort entirely on our return to Port Nyanzaru.
 * After a discussion with the Brontosaurus Salina, the heroic leader of the D-squad Daedalus learned that the frost giants are also actively hunting in the western part of the jungle.
