I. Forgotten Treasures[]

Objective[]

  • Talk to Arses

Journal Entry[]

Keyx has told me of the existence of a great treasure hidden in the tunnels beneath Tesso. He has asked me to investigate the tunnels and find the hidden chamber. Apparently placing a jewel from a pedestal into an indentation in a door will open the hidden chamber. He has told me that the jewel is locked to the pedestal using a word of power. The word, and accompanying curse, was set by a Stygian mage and Keyx has suggested that I search for this mage in the southern city of Khemi.


II. Buying Words[]

Objectives[]

  • Get Sour Wine
  • Give the Sour Wine to Arses

Journal Entry[]

I have found the old mage, who is wily enough not to give up the password without getting something in return. I should buy him a drink from a wineseller and hopefully that will convince the old fool to speak.

There must be a wine seller somewhere in the Souk.

Note[]

The wine seller is Kalutma the Wine Merchant.

III. The Magic Word[]

Objectives[]

  • Get the Jewel from the Pedestal
  • Place the Jewel in the Cavity

Journal Entry[]

For the price of a cheap skin of wine I have discovered that the password for releasing the jewel is ervin'. I should return to the tunnels beneath Tesso and retrieve the jewel at once.

IV.[]

Objectives[]

  • Find the Forgotten Smugglers Wares

Journal Entry[]

I placed the jewel in the cavity beside the door and the hidden chamber opened on a treasure room beyond my expectations. A huge pile of gold covers the floor and chests are stacked against the back wall.

V.[]

Objectives[]

  • Give the Sealed chest to Keyx

Journal Entry[]

I have killed the golden golem that was guardian the smugglers treasure. The apparently huge piles of gold were nothing more than a clever illusion and I have plundered what was left of the chests, except for one. I will return this last chest to Keyx as his share of the loot.
