Lore
BELOW THERE BE SPOILERS! This is the dialogue as collected on the Beta server with a good aligned character.
You say, "Hail, Field Marshal Vishra"
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "Cyliena, I have been trying to devise the best way to go about investigating the Tear of Veeshan without divulging its presence to others."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "You mean the Awakened?"
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "They are my main concern, yes. But an object of such potential power could easily attract any number of other personalities across Norrath: Mistmoore, Najena, Miragul, Nagafen."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "Especially when we are not sure what type of power it holds."
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "Precisely. I am also concerned that it may reveal itself to be a trap targeting members of the New Combine council."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "A mysterious item corrupting a land then claimed by the advancing army. Yeah, it could be a trap."
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "That is why I want you for this investigation. I trust you, and know that you are fully capable of handling any situation that may arise."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "Thank you, Field Marshal. May I make a suggestion?"
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "I encourage it, Cyliena!"
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "Artimus Klangfangle, the gnome that outfitted the ballistae to use arcane bolts... I want him to help."
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "Klangfangle, eh? I have no objections. But the Tear cannot leave this tent."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "I'll bring him in here for the investigation."
You say, "Hail, Artimus Klangfangle"
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "I'd watch where I stepped if I were you. Oh my, yes."
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "I remember, Artimus, believe me."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Well, if it isn't... er... "
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Cyliena. My name is Cyliena."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Of course it is! Now, don't distract me... I'm working on my best plan to date! I just need to magically enhance some bolts for the ballistae. It'll put those wurms in their place!"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Wurm conflagrating bolts? You created those already."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "I did? Did it put them in their place?"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "I should say so. Those that fly by are mortally wounded by your bolts."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "You don't say! And to think that the Academy labeled me too unstable! Do you think the Field Marshal would write me a commendation?"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Oh, he might. That is if you help me investigate something for him."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Me? It would be my pleasure! What are we investigating?"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "A mysterious item of power that was the source of the necrotic curse here, in Cobalt Scar."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Oh! Necromancy? Decaying flesh ready to do your bidding. How exciting! We'll need some different components for these tests."
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "What do you need?"
You receive \aITEM 816635166 -855636424:Animated Gelate\/a.
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Several samples of reanimated gore. It better be encased though! Take this animated gelate, and throw it at the blighted buccaneers down in Howlers Cove. They may fight the process, but I'm sure you can handle that!"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Without a doubt, Artimus."
You say, "Hail, Artimus Klangfangle"
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Were the samples of encased reanimated gore difficult to claim, Cyliena?"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Maybe, but I got them."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Oh my, Yes. I'll take them. It'll take a bit to prepare the test. Light that candle, will you? The one next to the Tear of Veeshan."
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Okay."
Artimus Klangfangle says, "Uh oh..."
Artimus Klangfangle says, "Look out!"
You say, "Hail, Artimus Klangfangle"
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "That was exciting! Such a success!"
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "That was the test?"
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Oh my, no. That was a happy, bombastic accident! I guess I shouldn't have set the candle on a boom barrel. At any rate, we now know more about the Tear."
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "It seemed to make the explosion bigger."
Artimus Klangfangle says to you, "Precisely! It is an arcane amplifier, which means that it poses no threat to anyone by itself. Just watch out what spells or energies it is exposed to."
You say to Artimus Klangfangle, "Thank you for your help, Artimus!"
You say, "Hail, Field Marshal Vishra"
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "What was that, Cyliena!? Were we right, the Tear of Veeshan was a trap?"
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "No, thankfully. It is an arcane amplifier, increasing magics, whether they are necrotic or explosive in nature."
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "You tested for necrotic amplification?"
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "We didn't have to. Remember, it was the true source of the necrotic curse that tainted Cobalt Scar."
You gain 15258 XP!
You receive 1 Platinum, 35 Gold for completing Darkness Ascending: Tear of Mystery.
Field Marshal Vishra says to you, "Ah, you tested it using explosive amplification. It is a relief to know that it poses no inherent threat. We'll just have to keep it away from Klangfangle's tent."
You say to Field Marshal Vishra, "That would be wise, Field Marshal."
