During Legend's Quest
First time/Player lost their Dark Dagger
- (A thick, green mist seems to emanate from the water...)
- (It slowly congeals into the shape of a body...)
- (Which slowly floats towards you.)
- (In a rasping, barely audible voice you hear the entity speak.)
- Echned Zekin: Who disturbs the rocks of Zekin?
- (There seems to be something slightly familiar about this presence.)
- Er...me?
- Player: Er...me?
- Echned Zekin: So, you desire the water that flows here?
- Yes, I need it for my quest.
- Player: Yes, I need it for my quest.
- Echned Zekin: The water babbles so loudly and I am already so tortured.
- Echned Zekin: I cannot abide the sound so I have stoppered the streams...
- Echned Zekin: Care you not for my torment and pain?
- Why are you tortured?
- Player: Why are you tortured?
- Echned Zekin: I was robbed of my life by a cruel man called Viyeldi
- Echned Zekin: And I hunger for revenge upon him....
- Echned Zekin: It is long since I have walked this world looking for him
- Echned Zekin:to haunt him and raise terror in his life...
- Echned Zekin: but tragedy of tragedies, his spirit is neither living or dead
- Echned Zekin: he serves the needs of the source.
- Echned Zekin: He died trying to collect the water from this stream,
- Echned Zekin: and now I hang in torment for eternity.
- What can I do about that?
- (See below)
- Can't I just get some water?
- Player: Can't I just get some water?
- Echned Zekin: Yes, you may get some water, but first you must help me.
- Echned Zekin: Revenge is the only thing that keeps my spirit in this place
- Echned Zekin: help me take vengeance on Viyeldi and I will gladly remove
- Echned Zekin: the rocks and allow you access to the water
- Echned Zekin: What say you?
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- (See below)
- No, I won't take someone's life for you.

- Why are you tortured?
- Not really, I just wondered if I could push that big rock.
- Player: Not really, I just wondered if I could push that big rock.
- Echned Zekin: The rock must remain, it stoppers the waters that babble.
- Echned Zekin: The noise troubles my soul and I seek some rest...
- Echned Zekin: rest from this terrible torture...
- Why are you tortured?
- (See above)
- What can I do about that?
- (See below)
- Why are you tortured?
- Yes, I need it for my quest.
- Who's asking?
- Player: Who's asking?
- (The hooded, headless figure faces you...it's quite unnerving...)
- Echned Zekin: I am Echned Zekin...and I seek peace from my eternal torture...
- What can I do about that?
- (See below)
- Do I know you?
- Player: Do I know you?
- Echned Zekin: I am long since dead and buried, lost in the passages of time.
- Echned Zekin: Long since have my kin departed and have I been forgotten...
- Echned Zekin: It is unlikely that you know me...
- Echned Zekin: I am a poor tortured soul looking for rest and eternal peace...
- Why are you tortured?
- (See above)
- What can I do about that?
- Player: What can I do about that?
- Echned Zekin: I was brutally murdered by a viscious[sic] man called Viyeldi
- Echned Zekin: I sense his presence near by, but I know that he is no longer living
- Echned Zekin: My spirit burns with the need for revenge, I shall not rest while
- Echned Zekin: I sense his spirit still.
- Echned Zekin: If you seek the pure water, you must ensure he meets his end.
- Echned Zekin: If not, you will never see the source and your journey back must ye start.
- Echned Zekin: What is your answer? Will ye put an end to Viyeldi for me?
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- Player: I'll do what I must to get the water.
- (The shapeless spirit seems to crackle with energy.)
- Echned Zekin: You would release me from my torment and the source would
- Echned Zekin: be available to you.
- Echned Zekin: However, you must realise that this will be no easy task.
- Echned Zekin: I will furnish you with a weapon which will help you
- Echned Zekin: to achieve your aims...
- Echned Zekin: Here, take this...
- (The spiritless body waves an arm and in front of you appears)
- (a dark black dagger made of pure obsidian.)
- Echned Zekin: To complete this task you must use this weapon on Viyeldi.
- (You take the dagger and place it in your inventory.)
- Echned Zekin: Use the dagger I have provided for you to complete this task.
- Echned Zekin: and then bring it to me when Viyeldi is dead.
- Ok, I'll do it.
- Player: Ok, I'll do it.
- The formless shape shimmers brightly...
- Echned Zekin: You will benefit from this decision, the source will be
- Echned Zekin: opened to you
- Echned Zekin: Bring the dagger back to me when you have completed this task.
- I've changed my mind, I can't do it.
- Player: I've changed my mind, I can't do it.
Echned Zekin: The decision is yours but you will have no other way to
Echned Zekin: get to the source.
Echned Zekin: The pure water you seek will forever be out of your reach.- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- (See above)

- No, I won't take someone's life for you.
- Player: No, I won't take someone's life for you.
- Echned Zekin: Such noble thoughts, but Viyeldi is not alive.
- Echned Zekin: He is merely a vessel by which the power of the source
- Echned Zekin: protects itself.
- Echned Zekin: If that is your decision, so be it, but expect not to
- Echned Zekin: gain the water from this stream.
- I'll do what I must to get the water.
- Why are you tortured?
- Why are you tortured?
- (See above)
