Nalri Looks Radiant
Required: Learning Shield Working quest.
→ Go to Nalri Grimtorr
YOU: You look radiant.
-Nalri smiles and blushes a bit, which makes her glow even more.-
Nalri: Oh, you're too kind.
YOU: No, I mean you're actually glowing. What happened?
Nalri: Hmm, actually you're not the first to tell me that.
Nalri: I'm not sure what's going on.
Nalri: Do you want to help me figure it out?
YOU: Sure, I'll help.
-Nalri smiles.-
Nalri: Great!
Nalri: I just can't figure out why this is happening.
Nalri: Do you have any ideas?
YOU: Is it magic?
Nalri: You think someone has cast a spell on me?
Nalri: Who would do such a thing?
YOU: Have you had any disagreements with anyone recently?
Nalri: No, I've gotten along with every…
-Nalri pauses as she considers something.-
Nalri: Wait.
Nalri: It couldn't be…
Nalri: He wouldn't…
Nalri: I had some harsh dealings with Narwin Molstagh not too long ago.
Nalri: I won't go into details, but I thought we had smoothed things over.
Nalri: Maybe you can discretely ask him if he is still angry with me and if he had taken steps to get even.
-Nalri pauses in thought again.-
Nalri: In fact, he owes me some gear.
Nalri: See what you can get from him and pick up my order for me.
Nalri: Then we can test it to see if there is any magic associated with it.
→ Go to Narwin Molstagh
YOU: Nalri sent me to get her gear.
-Narwin briefly shows fear on his face but quickly collects himself.-
Narwin: What does the wh – um, wench want?
Narwin: Oh, yes, I do have something for her.
Narwin: Hold on.
-Narwin reaches in a bag and pulls out a package loosely wrapped in cloth.-
Narwin: These are the shield parts she requested.
-Narwin Molstagh hands you the package.-
Narwin: Here you go.
YOU: So, umm, have you been working with magic lately?
-Narwin looks up and raises his eyebrows.-
Narwin: Hmm?
Narwin: Magic?
Narwin: No, I don't use the art of magic meself.
Narwin: Why do you ask?
YOU: Seems someone has cast magic on Nalri.
-Narwin Molstagh looks alarmed.-
Narwin: Well it wasn't me.
Narwin: Look, I have enough troubles so I don't need to go lookin' for any with – her.
Narwin: We've had our differences but we're square now.
→ Go to Nalri Grimtorr
YOU: Have you been doing anything else new recently?
Nalri: Aha, well, yes, I have been expanding my skills recently and working on these shields.
Nalri: They are called radiant shields.
Nalri: I can explain the process if you like.
YOU: Yes, I'd like to hear how it's done.
Nalri: First we need the following items: A shield handle, six bronze bands, a bronze circle, a round shield shape, and either a round wooden shield core or a wicker shield core.
Nalri: You can buy those cores from a merchant.
Nalri: Gardr in Gugrontid sells some, I believe.
Nalri: Then you just put all of them together to make a radiant shield kit and use a riveter to assemble it.
Nalri: You'll need a good amount of skill in both shield making and blacksmithing to be able to make everything.
Nalri: About fifteen lessons or so in each should do.
YOU: Maybe one of those items has magic energy?
Nalri: Hmm, could be.
Nalri: The ingots for the items I used should be fine, I smelted those myself.
Nalri: Here, take these to Levrus and see if he can detect any magic properties.
Nalri: These are bands made from seven bronze ingots.
-Nalri hands you three bronze shield bands.-
Nalri: Well this is three bands, but you'd need six to make the shield.
→ Go to Levrus Dahrenn
YOU: Can you check these bands for magic properties?
-Levrus attention is elsewhere as he closes his eyes and mutters something, waving his hand over a small decorative box.-
-Suddenly it begins to glow bright blue.-
-Levrus opens the box and a plume of smoke rises up into his face.-
Levrus: Hmm?
Levrus: Oh, I'm sorry.
Levrus: That shouldn't have happened.
Levrus: Oh well, I will try again later.
-Levrus looks at you.-
Levrus: Magic properties you say?
Levrus: Let's take a look.
-Levrus takes the bronze bands and slowly examines each one, holding them right up to his eyes, shaking them, and even smelling them.-
-He then takes one and licks it.-
Levrus: Yep, there's magic in there alright.
-He chants something, waving his hands over them.-
-The bands begin to vibrate and glow bright red.-
Levrus: Red way it seems.
Levrus: These should be handled with much care.
Levrus: I'm not sure what might happen with long exposure.
-Levrus rubs dry the band he licked and hands all of them back to you casually.-
YOU: They seem to be making Nalri glow.
-Levrus chuckles.-
Levrus: Well, I suppose if that's all this is, it's not too bad.
Levrus: Perhaps even helpful if going to dark places.
Levrus: It doesn't sound like it does much harm otherwise.
Levrus: The effects should wear off after spending some time away from the affected items.
Levrus: If you like, I can remove their magic for you.
YOU: No thanks, I'll bring these back to Nalri.
Levrus: Very well.
Levrus: You can tell this Nalri to see me and I'll remove the magic energy from all the items she has.
Levrus: Herself too.
-Levrus smiles, gives you back the bronze bands, and turns his attention once again to the ornate box.-
Levrus: Now, what are we going to do with you?
→ Go to Nalri Grimtorr
YOU: The bands have red way magic.
Nalri: So it's the bands.
Nalri: Hmm, I made them myself.
Nalri: I refined the ore, too.
Nalri: Unless, well, if it's red way, maybe the magic remains even through intense heat.
Nalri: After all, red way is based on the element of fire.
Nalri: I got the ore from…
-Nalri eyes narrow.-
Nalri: Wait.
Nalri: It couldn't be.
Nalri: He wouldn't.
Nalri: I had some harsh dealings with Narwin Molstagh not too long ago.
Nalri: I won't go into details, but I thought we had smoothed things over.
Nalri: Maybe you can discretely ask him if he is still angry with me and if he has taken steps to get even.
-Nalri pauses in thought.-
Nalri: In fact, he owes me some gear anyway.
Nalri: I hope that doesn't contain magic, too.
Nalri: See what you can get from him and pick up my order for me.
Nalri: You can find Narwin near the plaza.
→ Go to Narwin Molstagh
YOU: Nalri sent me to get her gear.
-Narwin briefly shows fear on his face but quickly collects himself.-
Narwin: What does the wh – um, wench want?
Narwin: Oh, yes, I do have something for her.

Narwin: Well it wasn't me.
Narwin: Look, I have enough troubles so I don't need to go lookin' for any with – her.
Narwin: We've had our differences but we're square now.
Narwin: So don't be causin' no trouble.
→ Go to Nalri Grimtorr
YOU: Your package.
-Nalri opens the cloth slightly and peeks in.-
Nalri: Yep, looks good.
Nalri: So what did you learn about Narwin?
YOU: Narwin says he doesn't deal with magic.
Nalri: Hmm, maybe it wasn't him.
-Nalri ponders.-
Nalri: Please return to him and see if you can find out where that ore came from.
Nalri: And do apologize on my behalf.
Nalri: I did not mean to accuse him of anything, though he may not be off the hook yet.
Nalri: We shall see.
→ Go to Narwin Molstagh
YOU: The ore you gave Nalri has red way magic.
-Narwin looks up and raises his eyebrows.-
Narwin: What?
Narwin: You know this for sure?
Narwin: Well it wasn't me.
Narwin: Like I said, I don't use magic.
Narwin: I got the ore in a deal with Thorian Gronk.
Narwin: You'll have to ask him where he got it.
YOU: Nalri said to apologize. She didn't mean to accuse you.
-Narwin raises his eyebrows then smiles a bit.-
Narwin: Aww, well that's surprisingly kind of her.
Narwin: I didn't know she had it in her.
-Narwin grins.-
Narwin: Here, take this shield part.
Narwin: It holds a shield together.
Narwin: You may find a use for it.
-Narwin hands you a wicker shield core.-
→ Go to Thorian Gronk
YOU: You sold Narwin some ore and it contained magic energy.
-Thorian narrows his eyes.-
Thorian: So?
Thorian: I'm sure it's harmless.
Thorian: The ore is perfectly fine.
Thorian: Why, is someone complaining?
YOU: The red way magic is making Nalri Grimtorr glow.
-Thorian pauses a bit, then chuckles.-
Thorian: Eheheh, sounds like an improvement.
Thorian: Look, here's what happened: I was in a bit of a, umm, time sensitive situation.
Thorian: I had lots of orders for ore, but very little time to get it.
Thorian: There was this Lemur who offered to help.
Thorian: He didn't look like the mining type and he had one of those fancy red way wands, so maybe he blasted it out.
Thorian: I suppose one could use red way magic for that.
→ Go to Nalri Grimtorr
YOU: Red way magic was likely used to get the ore. It was not Narwin.
Nalri: I see.
Nalri: Thank you for getting to the bottom of this.
Nalri: I'm glad it was not Narwin.
Nalri: What can I do to make this go away?
YOU: You must see Levrus. He will remove the magic for you.
Nalri: Ah wonderful.
Nalri: Thank you so much for your help.
Nalri: Now maybe folks will stop looking at me funny.
-Nalri smiles.-
Nalri: You know what?
Nalri: I think I have had enough with crafting these shields.
Nalri: Here, take this diagram.
Nalri: Maybe you can make use of it, or know someone who can.
-Nalri hands you a shield diagram along with some coins.-
