Quest Object

Ficheiro:DF-Mage Map.png

The dungeon map

If you want to embark on this adventure, travel to the town mentioned by the raven. The town will be in the region where you got the very first quest from the questgiver of the Mages Guild. Enter the tavern mentioned by the raven and talk to Baltham Greyman. He will say:

It was good of you to come. I have a new project that I think you might be interested in. It will involve a little raid on our friends at the Mages Guild, however. What do you say?

If you accept his offer, he will continue:

I knew you couldn't resist! Here's the plan. For some time now, I have been searching for the location of (magical item's dungeon), reputedly the resting place of a hoard of magical objects, including one (magical item) that I need for my own purposes -- another story for another time. The issue at hand is that I have learned that the Mages Guild of (Mages Guild's town) has come into possession of a map to (magical item's dungeon). I still have a few friends in the Guild, despite the official ban against me. The Guild has no idea what they have, so it is up to us to liberate the map so that it can be used to its full potential.

Travel with him to the town where the Mages Guild is located and enter the guildhall during the opening hours. Find the dungeon map within and grab it. As soon as it is in your possession some mages will show up to stop you from leaving. Take care of them and exit the guildhall. Once you are outside Baltham Greyman says:

I think it would be best to separate for the time being, to let this hornet's nest calm down a bit. I have one more matter to attend to before we can enter (magical item's dungeon) ... unless you would like to handle it for me?

The magical key, in this case a Holy dagger

Choose whether you want to handle this matter yourself, namely retrieving the magical key needed to enter the dungeon housing the magical item, or let Baltham Greyman do this task. You will not get anything if you do the task yourself; the only reason to do it is if you feel like doing some dungeon crawling. If you want to get the key, travel to the dungeon where it is located and find it within. The "magical" key will be a miscellaneous non-magical item; you will get a notification when you pick it up.

Meet Baltham Greyman in the same tavern where you first met him at the start of this quest. Show up at the tavern six days after you got the dungeon map from the Mages Guild. Talk to him and he will accompany you once again on the quest to find the magical item. Read (use) the stolen dungeon map with the magical key in your inventory and the location of the dungeon will be marked on your map. Travel to this dungeon and enter it. Find a battlemage within and take care of him/her. When you hit him/her for the first time he will shout:

You are too late, (Baltham Greyman)! It was a simple matter to follow you to (current dungeon), once you had found the (magical key) for me. The (magical item) is now mine, and mine alone!

Once the battlemage is dead, loot the battlemage's corpse to collect the magical item sought by Baltham Greyman, along with two other magical items, a random amount of gold, and the remaining loot. Exit the dungeon, at which point Baltham Greyman asks you to give him the magical item. He will say:

Well, friend (player's first name), an enjoyable little jaunt eh? I'll take the (magical item) and be on my way.

If you refuse, he will be very disappointed by your greed and will try to kill you. Defend yourself and kill him instead. If, instead, you give him the magical item he will thank you and bid his farewell for good.

Quest End

If you gave Baltham Greyman the magical item he wants, he will bid his farewell by saying:

Until next time!

If you didn't give him the magical item, he will say angrily before attacking you:

So, your true colors at last. I only asked for one small thing, yet your greed apparently knows no bounds.

Reputation Gain/Loss
