- Fires Flame Bolts • Summons Altars and Minions
- Metrica Province is a bustling bit of wilderness filled with the labs of krewes looking to work outside of Rata Sum. The Inquest have a strong presence there.
- This tournament seems like a lot of hoops to jump through just to win these frog-folk over.
- If it works, it will be more than worth the effort.
- The next challenge seems to be about boasting. I could give you a pointer or two, but I think you can handle this on your own.
- It's an open area for some of the larger experiments, or experiments that require outdoor space or additional security. Councillor Flax has a lab there, as well.
- We're one step closer to winning over these hylek. Good work, %str1%.
- The clock's still ticking. Get back on that turret!
- Bug Hunt
- Good luck, %str1%. I'll be cheering you on, and watching your back in case anything goes wrong.
- This is a dawn that Tyria shall never forget.
- Stay close to me. If the chief or the high priestess object to your participation in the tournament, let me speak on your behalf. I know what to say.
- Thanks, Ikniu.
- Now, the Challenge of Words. You must speak of your past, the things you've done, and the person you are because of them. Chief Quecuan will judge your deeds and the way you describe them.
- Good. I've got quite a story to tell.
- Now for the Challenge of Might. Defeat the savage and hungry creatures of the marsh to prove you deserve the Sun God's favor. Good luck.
- Congratulations. No outsider has ever participated in the tournament before, much less won it. Speak to Chief Quecuan so he can announce your victory!
- Right away.
- You haven't completed the challenge yet. Get back to the turret!
- One gate will take you to the Snaff Memorial Lab, Zojja's private lab. Another will take you to Antidawn Anchorage, more city docks. Lastly, you can travel to your own lab.
- So far, so good. Now you must speak to Ecolotl. She will explain the next challenge, the Challenge of Vision.
- Also, for your own protection, you should stay at my palace. Temporarily, of course. I insist.
- This is going to be fascinating: a real hylek ritual tournament with the Sun God's blessing at stake, and we're in the middle of it.
- I'd feel better if there weren't so many lives at stake.
- The Challenge of Words is next. I wish I could help you on this one. Talking comes naturally to me, you know.
- I do know. But don't worry, I won't embarrass us.
- Target practice, then bragging, and now pest control? Granted, they're fearsome, dangerous pests, but still...
- It's all part of the show. Leave it to me.
- This gives us all the pull we need with Ikniu's people. You did great, %str1%. Congratulations.
- I don't think the challenge is over yet, Explorer. Get back on that turret!
- You can travel to Snaff Memorial Lab, private lab of the esteemed Zojja, or Antidawn Anchorage, more city docks. The third will take you to Applied Development Lab, though I doubt you'll find much.
- Okay, we're in. Now let's see what the hylek have to throw at you—and how well you handle it.
- Another tournament. Well, at least there probably won't be any drinking in this one. I just hope I get to keep my race and gender intact.
- Heh. Me too, but we'd better prepare for every eventuality, just in case.
- Challenge of Words, eh? You should have no trouble spinning a yarn for these nice folks.
- Leave it to me. I'll think of something.
- Almost there. Think you can handle a passel of swamp beasties to clinch the title?
- You know it.
- Outstanding performance, Agent %str1%. Maybe now these hylek will let us help them.
- I'm ready. Let's get started.
- You ain't done yet, partner. That turret still has ammo, and there are plenty of pots left to smash.
- That could have gone better.
- I'm still a unclear on all the details, but it looks like we're on. That high priestess, Ecolotl, should be able to give you the full rundown.
- I'l check in with her as soon as I can.
- Which gate would you like information on?
- Brackwater Hat
- The stones are at the top of this mountain, but so are the jotun.
- Then that's where we need to be. Forward!
- Lead on, Pastkeeper. We're right behind you.
- Keep going, Oldoo. We'll make sure you get there in one piece.
