Quest text[edit]

Welcome back <player>. It is once again time for you to demonstrate your skills to me. I am interested in seeing how you have grown in skill since your last trial.

When you are ready, step up to the training dummy and begin by showing me your basic attacks. Welcome back <player>. It is once again time for you to demonstrate your skills to me. I am interested in seeing how you have grown in skill since your last trial.

Hasera says: "Good. Let's talk about your Kata."

Now show me your Kata. You should have learned to change your style as often as you need. Prove it and follow my instructions!

I'm satisfied with your performance. You already know what is next. Shatter it with one hit. Ready?

Your next opponent is already waiting for you. Show me your moves! Fight!

You are doing well, <player>. Are you ready to prove your skills in the field?

I've received a letter from the tower of wizardry in Char from Senetal, and I would like you to handle this task. Senetal has noted that one of the tower's residents has decided that they wish to study the local golems to see what makes them tick.

Senetal has too many students of his own to attend to, aside of protecting the wizards. He just does not have the ability to leave the tower to handle the request.

He has asked if you could gather core samples from various Obsidian Golems. In particular, the request is for 5 golem hearts of obsidian, 5 Golem Hearts of Obsidian Boulder, and Tashka Lusa's Obsidian Heart. When you collect these items, deliver them to Senetal in the Tower of Wizardry.

Greetings. These are for me? Thank you. I will see they get to the individual who requested them here. Say hello to Hasera for me when you arrive back in Kion.

Welcome back <player>. I hope Char was not too hot for you?

As you have assisted Senetal - I now declare you to be an Expert. Please hand me your Green-Tipped Sash.

Please take your new sash, and wear it with pride.

Hasera takes your sash in hand. She dips the ends into a terracotta jar filled with a strong-smelling substance. Nothing seems to happen. She then dips the ends into a second pot filled with another strong smelling substance.

As Hasera lifts the ends of your sash from the second jar, a reaction occurs and the ends of the sash change color from green to a deep blue.
