Quest text[edit]

Admetus tells you, I once heard a story about a spider that could tell poems. It would weave the words into its web. This caused an uproar in the nearby community. Of course, it was later revealed that it wasn't a spider at all. Rather, it was a tricky dwarf that was using a some sort of weird potion to play a prank.

Admetus tells you, Alchemy and magery go hand in hand, <player>, but they are two very different beasts. While alchemy uses the magical properties of items in the world to produce effects when concentrated, we Mages take the magic of the world directly out of the air. We feel it, form it, and send it on its way doing what we want. Only with much practice can we master plucking all of the magic from the air around us.

Admetus tells you, Now! Enough chat. I want you to slay a spider. Not just any spider - the queen of the nest. She is larger than the rest and goes by the name of Alberha. If you can muster up any bravery in your immortal little heart, go and slay this vile creature. The spiders - called Brown Crawlers - are off to the east. Follow the signs. While you're at it, use the ability of Fireball at least once. It's a stronger version of your regular bolt - use it wisely. If you somehow forget to do so, you can just aim the spell at any old spider or beast afterwards and fire away. It will still count.


Admetus tells you, You lived? Really? Well, I guess we'd have the same outcome if you died, I suppose. Gifted and all. Guess I'm not getting rid of you easily. Well done, I suppose; it seems you're slowly coming in tune with being a mage.

Steps[edit]

  • Listen to Admetus.
  • Kill Alberha, the Spider Broodmother. She roams among the smaller Brown Crawlers to the east of Fortshire.
  • Use Fireball at least once.
  • Return to Admetus.
