"Cult, mwahaha! It would be grand to have another soul at my disposal.."

Nerzuul flips through a tome.

"Well, lets see.. ah! Yes. To prove your worth to me, go locate this 'fountain of money' I read of in a tome in the Great Library. Read this tome, then go locate."

[Bashae]

"Indeed... Uh... Master. As a matter of fact, I have already read this tome you speak of. The fountain is located somewhere on the High Road. However, where it exactly is I do not know but a man in Aderon claims to know. Should I... 'persuade' him to tell me the location?" Krytos grins.

[X Zolon]

"I like like your thinking. Somehow, I think you'll fit right in.

Now.. go and "persuade" him. I wouldn't mind having another soul to torment..."

[Bashae]

"I have returned, Master. The fountain is behind a tree on the High Road, I trust you will be able to find it. Went there myself to check if what he said was true. Planned to kill him if it wasn't."

[X Zolon]

"You should have killed him anyways, Acolyte.

Ah well, as you heard, you are now an Acolyte in my cult. I'll give you a hint to something.

If you become a Dark Acolyte by performing another cruel act for me, you gain access to my house, for a furnace and an anvil. Also, I will teach you how to make some items from iron.

Now, are you ready for another mission?"

[Bashae]

Krytos laughs at his master's comment.
"Master, the last thing I would give to any man or woman is the peace of death. Anyway, yes, I am ready."

[X Zolon]

"That's right, you don't have the power to steal souls yet, you are too weak.

Okay, there is a rock deposit in Zolandor. Take this flag, and place it in the deposit. My cult will control it. After, you can get some ores if you like. I'll be at the fountain of wealth."

He leaves.

[Bashae]

Krytos leaves, taking the flag with him. He also takes a pickaxe to mine some ore.

[X Zolon]

Nerzuul appears in his shop again.

[Killerconvic]

Tym Herod enters the store.

"How are you, Nerzuul? I've brought those items you sent me for."

Tym Herod plops down the strange, black orb, and an Iron knife (+5 DP).

[X Zolon]

"What? No treasure?! You may keep your orb and knife, but were there no gems, no money?"

He glares angrily.

[Killerconvic]

"Fine.."

Tym Herod puts the sapphire, emerald, and half of his UC's on the counter.

[X Zolon]

"Heh, I like your style, Dark Acolyte."

He smirks, indicating that you have been improved greatly in rank.

"I'll take the 215 UC's and the sapphire. You can keep the other half of the UC's and the emerald."

He smirks with a knowing smile.

"Are you ready for your advancement quest?"

[Killerconvic]

Tym picks up his items.

"Yes I am."

[Bashae]

"I have returned once more. The flag is in as you have ordered, Master. Also..."
Krytos places his 2 iron ores on the table.
