Exploring Almraiven is not open-ended as one would want it to be. By this, you cannot click on a street sign and go anywhere you want in the city, you'll have to learn of that street first. Loom Avenue You start the game here and will always be able to return. This street is where your home base is and you'll be returning here often during the course of your investigation. It's a good idea to take the local tour by Purdee, your close neighbour, as he will show you and get you familiar with your neighbourhood and those who call it home. Things to do: The Villa The Villa is a popular location for those coming through Almraiven due to the fact one can find a Runner's Shop here, a central network of sending messages back and forth to other folks scattered in and around the city. Things to do: How to get here: Horseshoe Lane Horseshoe Lane isn't the cleanest part of Almraiven but it's also not the worst part either. Designed as an 'H', Horseshoe Lane will offer you places to shop, abandoned homes to explore and a tavern to get roudy at. Things to do: How to get here: Runner's End is a nice little cul de sac which was named by the street-side that would chase folks here to rob them. There's only one way in and one way out but it does offer the visitor a thing or two to do. Things to do: How to get here: Mandrake Route isn't the best place to live due to the growing number of Stinkers, otherwise known as Werefolk, that seem to frequent this part of Almraiven. A Stinker is known by their smell and you'll know when you're speaking with one if you get too close. Things to do: How to get here: Gypsy Roseway Gypsy Roseway is a place to avoid during the night as it is a haven for members of thief guilds and other dirty scum that hang out in the alley that connects one street with another. Things to do: How to get here: Caravan Run Caravan Run happens to be a very busy portion of Almraiven due to the high volume of merchants and street-side that frequent the street. A shop or two can also be found here. Things to do: How to get here: Benhi's Express A very rich and clean part of Almraiven is what you'll experience when you first arrive in Benhi's Express. It is where the headquarters for the Evelyn Society of Thinkers is located and thus, magic is everywhere! Things to do: How to get here: Just wearing the wrong cloth and stitch can bring down a load of trouble when you first visit Cuttback Kat Alley. It didn't get its name from being a friendly place, so be prepared. Things to do: How to get here: Kingscourt is nestled in a high class ward and one quickly notices this when guard patrols walk on by. It's a street where many wealthy merchants and nobles live. Things to do: How to get here: Nestled in the Dock Ward is Rosetyl Street, which is known for its very popular evening joint, the Twilight Tavern. It also is home to a shop or two. Things to do: How to get here: Also found in the Dock Ward, The Strip is known for its bustle of goods that get shipped in and out of Almraiven. Sailors enjoy calling this particular portion of the city home. Things to do: How to get here: A series of dotted islands that rest between the Shining Sea and Almraiven. Many ships have sunk from running into the many jagged rocks found here. Things to do: How to get here: Located on the south-eastern portion of Almraiven, the Harbor Gate is where many ships come and go, loading and unloading their cargo. Things to do: How to get here: Located on the west side of Almraiven, the West Gate is used by those coming along the Western Passage, such as merchants and traders. Things to do: How to get here: +-----------------------------------------------------+ Amalin's Gazebo Woes +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Kingscourt NPC : Amalin A friendly half-elf by the name of Amalin is in need of some help getting a few resources together to complete a gazebo he is building in his backyard.

In return he'll give you Amalin's Cloak of Lurking. +-----------------------------------------------------+ A Trap to Spring +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Rosetyl Street NPC : Carft This side-quest is nothing more than a warning to the player about future attacks made on the player by the Efreetum Society of Summoners. This little warning is given by a street-side on Rosetyl Street, for the right price and if the player is wearing their Auren Society robe. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Alchemy Investigation +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Caravan Run NPC : N/A You will receive this side-quest after you've spoken with Rune and Jenna.

You will then be told to deliver the Amulet of Reptiles to Horgar, located on Rosetyl Street in the Twilight Tavern. The Twilight Tavern is only open at night and that's when Horgar will be waiting. Give him the Amulet of Reptiles to complete this quest. +-----------------------------------------------------+ An Evening Ambush +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Horseshoe Lane NPC : N/A This will happen if you've been walking around Almraiven telling folks who you really are. Eventually, when you've told enough folks, you will be ambushed the next time you exit the Everburning Log in the evening. A young boy will run up to you, tell you his father has been stabbed and ask you to follow him. It is this moment the sequence will fire and you'll be ambushed by two members of the Hastelet guild. You can attack them, fool them via Charm Person or Scare or even run into the Abandoned Home at the end of the alley. If you've been in the home before, you know what to expect. If not, avoid going into the attic or else the two members of the Hastelet Guild and the Attic Spider will be on you! If you want to escape with the highest reward, don't fight them. If you have your staff/bracers and your ring equipped, no matter what you say or are wearing, they'll know you're an Auren as you fit the description. If you cast Charm or Scare and they fail their roll, you'll receive experience for not fighting them as well as dinars as they feel bad for the mistaken identity. Inside the home, if you hide behind the crates on the first floor and IT WAS NOT RAINING outside, you can watch them slip by as they go upstairs. If it was raining outside, they'll notice your wet footprints on the floor and attack you with your back against the wall. If you go upstairs, running into the first room with the window will allow you to jump out of the window and back down into the alley. Escaping and completing this quest is done by running out of the alley toward the sign post. You'll receive a good amount of experience for escaping from the ambush and avoiding battle. You can also complete this quest by killing the two members of the Hastelet Guild or using Charm/Scare spell during your first chance to converse with them. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Arra's Haunted Home +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Mandrake Route NPC : Arra This side-quest is introduced by Arra on Mandrake Route and she's only available from 11am to 5pm right between Woods and Goods and Luanu's Home. Offering to help her solve her ghostly problems will give you this side-quest. Arra can be found in the Spitting Camel by the grandfather clock if you accept this quest. Her home should only be entered at night, that's when the ghosts appear. You want to wait inside the house for the events to happen. The first event is furniture appearing by the door, then the living room, then the bedroom, then the dining room and finally the kitchen. When the furniture appears in the bedroom, the first ghost will attack. When the furniture appears in the dining room, the second and most difficult ghost will attack. When the furniture appears in the kitchen, the third ghost will attack. Once the attacks begin, the ghosts lock the door to the house. After all three ghosts have been killed, the basement door will unlock and open. Down you go! Rest, replenish your spells if you must, then try the basement door at the far end of the cellar. Banging will resume, the door to the first floor will slam shut and eventually, Zombies will burst through the old wooden door by the wall. Kill them both. Rest, replenish your spells. Go through the door they came from and enter an underground tomb. Here people are buried but one crazy Skeletal Wizard now haunts the graves. He has the ability to toss Fireballs, so use the walls as protection. Kill the skeletal mage, grab what you want and return to speak with Arra. Once you've spoken with Arra at the Spitting Camel about her home being cleared, the quest is over. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Assassination Attempt +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Caravan Run NPC : Ulip You must have spoken with Ulip back on Mandrake Route before this quest can be given to you. Ulip appears on Mandrake Route between 11am to 5pm. Then he'll reappear on Caravan Run between 11am to 5pm in the far north-east corner of The Run. He's hiding behind some crates and the pillar with ivy all over it. Speak with him. He'll want you to find an assassin that has been sent to kill him, an assassin sent by Rotten Rilley himself! Offer to help. You'll want to go and stand by the sign-post and wait. Your journal will update as the assassin walks by and vanishes again as he looks for Ulip. You must spot him THREE TIMES before you're able to return to tell Ulip what he looks like and what he's wearing. On the THIRD VIEW, you can also speak with the assassin. Coax him into meeting you by the water's edge and you can tell him where Ulip is instead. If you save Ulip, he gives you some dinars and thanks, slipping away in the street.

You'll need either a Knock spell for the basement door or the Servant's Key from the Servant's Chamber to get down into the cellar. Finding the meat in one of the cold rooms located in the Estate will help you avoid battle from the guard dog in the cellar and also give you experience for avoiding battle. You can also sneak past the guard dog using invisibility. If you don't have the meat, the guard dog will attack you. It's a tough fight if you're not prepared.

Do so, find the book Voolahoo's Orbanics, read it and learn how to use the message orb. You want to learn as many names as possible, all done by those you're stuck with on your floor.

Totally two different Halflings that are identical only by name. Speak with Jax on Runner's End between 11am to 5pm and he'll invite you to meet up with him at the Spitting Camel in the evening. Meet him in the evening at the Spitting Camel and he'll offer you a little job. He's been tracking someone in the city and has come to learn they're staying at the inn on Runner's End. He's too busy watching the common room to do the job on his own and he'll offer you a cut, 50-50 if you help him out. Accept and he'll ask you to pick up something from one of his contacts. This person is just outside in the evening on Runner's End, in a dead-end alley washing her clothes. (Right across from The Piked Boar). Give her the secret phrase to attain the Suldolphor Robe. Return to Jax. Now you can just hand over the robe and get your dinars and the quest will end. Or, you can put on the robe as per his request, head upstairs and knock on Room 88. The door will not open from the one inside, so you'll either have to bash it down via a conversation option (9+ strength), cast Knock on the door or use a spell/potion to boost your strength to get inside. Once inside the one inside has fled out the window but you'll also pick up a slice of a robe, which you can now use to make a Brewed Tracking Potion, more on that later. Return to speak with Jax downstairs (he will only speak with you about this quest inside of the Spitting Camel and not outside on the street). He won't be very happy and he drops everything to work on other clients. He'll offer you the robe and some dinars for your time, completing the quest. When you exit the Spitting Camel at this point, you'll receive the Suldolphor Refugee side-quest, which is now a full blown continuation of this quest. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Laboratory Assistant +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Home NPC : N/A You'll need to do this eventually if you want to make full use of your laboratory as well as advance the story. You will gain information from Luanu by asking about where to find a corpse for your laboratory assistant. She'll direct you to Flaux at the Everburning Log and do know, he's only there AT NIGHT! You also must be wearing your Auren Society ring when you speak with him so he knows who you are. Follow him into the room so he can speak with you. Close the door or not, it's up to you. Sit down or not, it's up to you. BLOOD RUNNER Pay 25 dinars for this quest. The Blood Runner can only be done in the evening as you'll have to take care of the crew during the day and you want to use stealth, right? Inside of the Blood Runner are four salt water troughs that must be filled with salt water from the barrel in the kitchen. Use the empty bucket to fill up the water and pour it into each water trough to unlock the door to the captain's cabin. Inside of the cabin, examine the stuffed parrot and see where its eyes are pointing. Search that area to find the secret trap door. Go down. This is the real cabin of the captain. Search it and get the key to the storage deck. Head down into the storage deck and find the coffin that has the body you can use as your laboratory assistant. Once you have this, return to your laboratory and summon your assistant from the Land of the Dead. Quest complete. SPECTRAL'S CALL Difficult and puzzle heavy but a little more rewarding compared to the Blood Runner (although the Blood Runner does have its own rewards). You have to press eight runes scattered in Spectral's Call while doing your best to avoid getting spotted three times by one of the guards. The order that you must press the runes is listed right at the entrance inside of Spectral's Call. Have your compass facing north and read the runes left to right, top to bottom for the proper order. 1234 5678 You'll get some extra experience if you pass a Lore check when you walk over the runes. Make sure you do not let the guards see you open the stone door leading down below and CLOSE it after you go through. If they spot you, you'll have to kill them all before you can venture down. Down below in the depths the puzzle continues, this time with either red pillars and blue pillars, all controlled by twelve runes on the floor. The runes must be walked over carefully and in the proper order. If the order is correct as you step on the runes, pillars of either red or blue light will appear. You can only open one door, not both, so pick either to step on the runes that make the pillars red or the runes that make the pillars blue. Pressing either a BLUE or RED rune in the incorrect order will reset the puzzle. You can step on BLUE and RED at the same time, just as long as you remember to step on them in the proper order. [FACING COMPASS NORTH] 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 BLUE ORDER 8, 2, 11, 4, 6, 10 Order is displayed right of the top North-Western locked door. Passed Lore Check will mention a little hint. RED ORDER Order is displayed to the RIGHT of the twelve master runes, separated by stone coffins. Passed Lore Check will mention a little hint. 1, 9, 5, 12, 3, 7 BLUE TOMB Blue tomb has a clock puzzle. You must activate the two runes on the floor to activate the clock hands. The combination is written on the coffin, so examine it for the description. Turn the clock hand to the first number using the rune that turns them clockwise. Use the other rune to turn the clock hand counter clockwise until you reach the second number in the combination. Finish it off by using the rune that turns the hand clockwise to unlock the coffin. The combination is: 724 RED TOMB Red tomb has a rope and design puzzle. You must pull each rope and make sure the second arrows match the first display of arrows. Doing this will unlock the coffin. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Lair of the Two Sisters +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Cuttback Kat Alley NPC : N/A Head to Cuttback Kat Alley once you learn that there is a Medusa in the city.

Reloading experience will be set at 100 experience. For every time you are killed below and have to reload, your experience goes down by 10. The minimum reload reward you can receive is 50.

She wants you to lift the Amulet of Reptiles before she'll hand over any information about the Floating Weaver. The estate can be entered a few ways. One is to wait until night falls. One of the guards leaves his post to wander the estate at night. Cast KNOCK by the door he was guarding to gain entry. Another option is to CHARM/SCARE your way via conversation on the guard posted at the front door or the other posted at the side door. You can also pay them if you CHARM them. They'll be so spooked via SCARE that they'll let you right in. Once inside you can do a few things. TIPS: If you open a door, remember to CLOSE IT! The guards will notice that a door has been left open and sound the alarm. STEALTH VIA MAGIC If you can cast Invisibility and Knock, you can simply move around invisible, cast KNOCK on the doors by the fountain to enter Springwine Jones private room. Inside is a key to the locked STONE DOOR in the fountain room. That's where you'll find the Amulet of Reptiles BUT to get out without sounding the alarm, you'll need the CANDLE from the display case out in the hall. Examine the window when you've picked up the CANDLE and MELT the window. Grab the Amulet of Reptiles. Cast Invisibility if you're able to again because you'll need to sneak past the GUARD DOG. If you have the MEAT from the cold storage room found on the main floor of the Estate and are not invisible, you can feed the Guard Dog. He'll let you pass once you give him the meat. If you're invisible, you can walk right on by, loot what you want and take the sewer grate out of the estate to escape. NON-STEALTH / NON-COMBAT Listen at the doors when they're closed for the footsteps. If you open the door and a guard is really near, you can close it quickly enough without them spotting you. Think of it as if you were opening it just a crack to take a peak. When you can't hear any more footsteps, it's safe to open the door and move around. You want to find the SERVANT CHAMBER. (North-East part of the estate). Remember to close all DOORS, even when you enter the servant's chamber. You can rest inside. Take the servant garb, the key, anything else you want and put on the servant garb. You can now walk freely and leave doors open AS LONG AS YOU WEAR THE SERVANT GARB! The guards will approach you on sight to speak with you. The guard walking the north-east portion of the estate is Raf. He/She will want some Orcish Wine/Ale, offer to help. This will give you an excuse to the other guard on the west side of the estate when he questions you. Before you head down, find the cold storage room and pick up the MEAT. You'll want it for the Guard Dog. He'll let you pass if you feed him. If you don't have ROPE, you'll find some down in the basement along with the Orcish Wine/Ale. Return to give Raf whatever you want, it does not matter. Now wait until Raf gets drunk. He/She will pass out in the pantry. This is where you need ROPE and a PILLOW CASE. Stuff the pillow case in his/her mouth and tie him/her up as well. This is to keep Raf from sounding the alarm when he/she wakes up. Now put on the gear Raf was wearing. Helmet, armor, staff, etc and head to the west part of the estate. Walk down the corridor where the sign reads "NO SERVANTS ALLOWED!" If the guard patrolling there isn't close by, you can enter the last room BUT CLOSE THE DOOR! The alarm will sound if it's open, regardless of Servant/Raf gear. Find the key that will unlock Springwine Jones private room. Do your best to sneak out of the room. If you're caught in the corridor with both DOORS closed, the guard will think you're Raf and want some Ale or Wine. You can get away by not having any, he just won't be happy with Raf when Raf wakes up :) Visit the display case if you haven't yet and pick up the CANDLE, then head to Springwine Jones private room. Loot what you want and grab the final key. This key unlocks the stone door in the fountain room. Inside is a window. Melt the window with the candle. Smashing the glass will trigger the alarm. Take the Amulet of Reptiles. Now it's time to get out! Head back into the basement and go to where there's a sewer grate. Enter it to escape the estate. ALARM SOUND / COMBAT If any of the guards suspects you of being someone you're not (a servant), they will engage in battle via a conversation. The alarm will sound. All Springwine Jones Estate guards that were outside will enter the estate to being guarding the exits. The City Patrol guards will be on high alert and will attack you if they catch you outside of the estate when you finally escape. Feel free to kill them all if you wish. The quest will complete once you get your hands on the Amulet of Reptiles. +-----------------------------------------------------+ Stolen Swordfish +-----------------------------------------------------+ [TOP] | [NEXT] | [PREVIOUS] Location : Mandrake Route NPC : Firien Firien can be found speaking with Arra between Luanu's Home and Woods and Goods on Mandrake Route between the hours of 11am to 5pm.

This merchant is found on Caravan Run and ONLY when you've received this quest and ONLY during the day. Head to Caravan Run to speak with the fish merchant and he'll tell you about how his fish are getting stolen at night. So, now you want to return to Caravan Run during the night and meet up with a Half-Orc and a Halfling (located near the Imp Cage). Talk to the Half-Orc and the Halfling who "smells like fish" will begin to walk away. If you fail to follow the Halfling to see where he's stashing the fish, when you return to speak with the merchant the quest will end. The merchant will have had all his fish stolen and be forced to begin living on the street. If you follow the Halfling, stay close enough until he vanishes in the alley. You'll learn of where the fish are being kept. Return during the day to speak with the merchant and tell him where his stolen fish are. He'll give you a reward and not go out of business.

If you offer to walk away, you receive some experience and dinars for your services. Quest complete. If you attack, you'll have to kill her and get the key to the room. Now if you killed her, enter the room and you'll catch just a glimpse of a foot climbing out the window. Dash to the window to follow the person! To the roof-top you go! Keep a quick eye on what she does and where she jumps from because that's your jumping point too. Spot checks during the chase will activate. If they pass, you'll spot someone else chasing her too! Follow her and stay on her until she enters a darkened alley. Save your game for the best result. You're going to have to deal with another member of the Shadowed Panurgk, who corners you for killing one of her sisters of the guild. Kill her as quickly as possible. The one you're chasing is now hiding out somewhere in the alley and you'll need to find her within 4 minutes REAL TIME or the quest is over. The three places she might be hiding: #1 From the alley you're in - Climb the ladder to the top patio - Climb down the other ladder on the other side - Enter the dead-end.

There you can find three hidden items under the wooden floor. BONUS : If you have yet to visit Cuttback Kat Alley and you do not pay the 10 dinar fee to pass Chelles' corner and get attacked, Lilly will be there to help you out.

Wundra, one of his girls was cut up pretty bad but her brother Falis does not want to see or even speak with Elthorian. So, Elthorian will mention to you were Wundra lives if you want to look into it. Falis just might warm up to you because you're not in the same business. Visit Runner's End during the day and knock on Wundra's door where Falis will answer. Offer to go in and look at Wundra for Falis and he'll invite you inside his home. Now you'll want to explore his home and even the blood stains at the base of her bed. You're going to have to brew a Substance Lifter Potion [SL] to learn more about the look and smell of the blood. To brew a Substance Lifter potion, you will need : - Empty Potion Bottle (!) * Bought on the flying Imp on Caravan Run. * Bought at Veiled Crystal on The Strip. - Bonding Agent (!) * Bought at Herbalore in The Villa. * Bought at Memnon's Fingers on Benhi's Express. * Bought at Jar of Flies on Gypsy Roseway. - Spider Silk (!) * Bought at Herbalore in The Villa. * Bought at Memnon's Fingers on Benhi's Express. * Bought at Jar of Flies on Gypsy Roseway. - Palm Sap (!) * Bought at Herbalore in The Villa. * Bought at Memnon's Fingers on Benhi's Express. * Bought at Jar of Flies on Gypsy Roseway. Pour it on the blood to learn what you can, then return to your personal library to study the different blood of the wild kingdom. At this point, read the book and learn you need a Remove Curse spell (found at the Tweleve Orbs on Loom Avenue) and Belladonna (Bought at Herbalore, Memnon's Fingers or Jar of Flies). Return to speak with Falis and let him know his sister can be cured and he'll give you some dinars for the items you purchased. Exit and re-enter his home to trigger the next stage of this quest or you can speak with Falis first, get the dinars, then buy the items, then return. Either way you do it, the next event is entering the home to find Falis down on the ground and two Werefolk in the house. Kill both Werefolk and speak with Falis. He'll explain how they surprised him and he's going after them to save his sister Wundra. Offer to help and enter the sewers below the city. You'll want to work your way down to the third level, battle the Werefolk until you meet up with the ring leader sitting in his chair. He'll be calm, no worries kind of attitude. Speak with him to engage the final battle and event. Once you've taken care of him, take the key on him to unlock the stone door on the third level that will lead you to the cells. This is where you'll find Wundra. BONUS: If you've done everything you need to do for Darwien's Disappearance, your opportunity to heal and save her has arrived. NOTE: If you have not talked to Jaer and found Darwien's shoes and clothing to update the Darwien Disappearance, you won't be able to heal Darwien period. If you have not received the Darwien's Disappearance side-quest at this point, you will not be able to attain it later on. So do you save Darwien or Wundra? If you pick Wundra, Darwien turns into a Werefolk and attacks you. If you're on both the Darwien's Disappearance and Wundra's Wonder quest, Darwien's Disappearance quest will fail. If you pick Darwien and you've spoken with Jaer and found Darwien's shoes and clothing, Wundra turns into a Werefolk and attacks you. If you have Falis with you and you save Darwien, Falis will kill his sister and then turn on you! If you attempt to save Darwien but have not been given the Darwien's Disappearance side-quest, the healing will fail and both Darwien and Wundra turn into Werefolk, Falis will also turn on you. If you heal Wundra and Falis survives the adventure, Falis will offer his services to you as a companion if and when you leave Almraiven. If you heal Darwien and return her to Annex, Annex will offer her services to you as a companion if and when you leave Almraiven. The choice is up to you. Quest complete. |
