Quest text[edit]

Step: Defeat Surtheim ten (10) times.

I am glad to see you, <player>. I have one last request of you. You see, I was thinking into Surtheim as I lay in my lair at night. While he is less of an enigma to me now, I still wondered truly how much energy that behemoth contains. I've acquired a very unique crystalline vessel - one made specifically for capturing flame magic. I wish for you to fill it. Not only will it give me an indicator of how powerful the golem is, it will give me a piece of him for myself to study further.

Game Feedback: After Surtheim has fallen for the tenth time, the vessel truly seems to be topped off. Ononyndriss will be delighted.

<player>, I felt you approaching. I can sense the flame energy rising from that vessel without even looking. May I see it?

  • <You hand it over.>

Thank you. This only took ten fights? That is insane, to say the least. Allow me to try something. <Onyndriss produces another vessel, and gently coaxes some of the flame magic into it.>

  • What is that for?



Step: Smash the crystal.

It is for you. I hope you do not mind me making you a test subject, but I wish to see what this form of flame magic does to a soul. This small amount should not harm you that badly, but well, let us just say I would not try this with a nongifted. When you are ready, smash the crystal.

Game Feedback: An inferno seems to gather around you, covering you in flames and heat. It's hot - too hot. Painful. Onyndriss greatly underestimated the strength of Surtheim's flame!

Game Feedback: You can't say you didn't expect that, but you also hoped you didn't have to die today.


Step: Speak to Onyndriss about your... untimely fate.

I am... I deeply apologize, <player>. I had no idea the magic contained within was so powerful. I thought there was only a very slight chance of such a powerful inferno. I will be far more gentle in my studies. Your sacrifice may have saved my life. From now on, however, you can truly claim you were touched by flame - and with it comes a greater resistance to it in the future!

Game Feedback: %sn% has been Touched by Flame!
