1.First Aid

Hail, traveler! If you're not in a hurry, could I have a moment of your time? As you can see, I'm injured. I've been out here, alone, for some time... I could use a friend. Other passerby's were too frightened to come near me... Can't say I blame them. But you... I think you aren't afraid of me, are you? Haha! Good, good! In spite of my fearsome appearance, I am still a mortal man. Even I can be hurt... My injuries were so severe that I couldn't move for months. Even now it still hurts to move. ~ I'm getting better, but I'm not as fit as I used to be. By any chance, do you have some Elixir? A drink of that should make me feel much better...

Mission: Elixir [III] x10

~

Ha ha! You have some, huh? Great! Thanks! You helped a wounded hero. You are more than enough to be a friend of the hero Beowulf. Hahaha!

Reward:

• Experience: 50,000
• Gold: 65,000

2.Where are you from?

I hail from the faraway land of Sweden. Just a few months ago, I was travelling the Swedish countryside, going on epic adventures... Until without warning, an evil dragon emerged from nowhere and threatened my hometown. When I was younger, I would have challenged him immediately, but now I find myself wanting to resolve this peacefully... Hmm... it's not that I feel any particular fear of this dragon. It's just... I want to avoid any unnecessary bloodshed. So, I followed it to its lair to learn how I could do that... ~ I've been away from home for quite some time. He told me he would take his time, but I'm still worried. You look like you can travel quickly... would you mind checking on my hometown of Stockholm?

Mission: Go to Stockholm

~

Ah, it's a relief to hear that he hasn't struck yet. But I can't let my guard down yet. He hasn't acted yet, but it doesn't mean he won't.

Reward:

• Experience: 50,000
• Gold: 65,000

3.Unfavorable Circumstances

Anyway, as I was tending to my wounds, those White Bears charge into my camp and stole my belongings... Damn it! Were it not for my injuries, I'd have reduced those bears to rugs! ~ It's clear that you're just as strong as me. Would you go kill those White Bears for me?

Mission: Kill White Bear x30

I knew it! Haha! Now I can breathe again. Those lazy beasts will get into anything. You've done me quite the favor. I appreciate it!

Reward:

• Experience: 60,000
• Gold: 85,000

4.Achievements

My exploits are known throughout the land. But I would have to say that my battle with Grendel is one of the most famous. Now, that was a monster. Even now, just thinking about it chills my bones. However, I could not yield to that beast. My honor would never allow it! ~ I tell you, there is nothing like hearing an epic retell one's own exploits. Do you want to read this?  The Story of Grendel?

Mission: Read The Story of Grendel

~

Well? There are many just like it, all about my adventures. Hmm... It was no easy task, defeating that monster. I nearly died, myself. But... I've not told anyone else this, but after that day I started to ponder many things.

Reward:

• Experience: 50,000
• Gold: 65,000
• Item: The Story of Grendel x1

5.The Evil Cure

The mother of Grendel was not easy to defeat... Oh... she was a vicious woman. Grendel's blood melted one of my great swords, but I had to waste another sword when I killed Grendel's mother. And as she lay dying, she put a curse on me... Other than the occasional chill, nothing bad has happened to me yet. However, I can't underestimate a curse placed upon me by something like her. ~ Since I am here at Lost Volcano Valley, there are some secret recipes I would like to try to rid myself of the curse. If I'm lucky, I can be free from this annoying curse. In the Volcanic Wasteland, there are Raptors, Pterosaurs, and Basilisks. Can you bring Volcanic Ash from their bodies?

Mission: Volcanic Ash x50

~

Thank you. Let's see if this works. Augh... that old witch! However... The wrenching cry of a mother who's lost her son... I cannot forget it. I've never hesitated to slay a monster that threatened humans... But since I killed that old witch, I've felt hesitant about killing the beasts.

Reward:

• Experience: 60,000
• Gold: 85,000
• Item: Enhance Stone [III] x3

6.Speed

I don't want any more bloodshed. Isn't there a way to do this in peace? That's what a real hero does. Resolve things in peace... But I doubt such a resolution is possible here. The Lost Volcano Valley is a treacherous place... If you wish to help me, you must be prepared. ~ Don't go into the valley covered in cuts and bruises. Heal up, then we'll talk.

Mission: Fully heal your characters

~

That was quick... unexpected. Let me tell you what to expect.

Reward:

• Experience: 50,000
• Gold: 75,000

7.Coming to an End

I mentioned that the valley is treacherous, yes? I was forced to retreat by the monsters of the volcano interior, and as I ran those worthless Volcano Goblins tried to kill me. If I wasn't injured, I would've killed all of them effortlessly, but I barely escaped from those goblins as well... ~ The more I think about, those bears and Volcano Goblins anger me. Would you deliver to them my wrath? You can find them in Volcano Valley.

Mission: Kill Volcano Goblin x35

~

Thank you. I feel better now.

Reward:

• Experience: 60,000
• Gold: 85,000

8.Obtained Information

I actually have another reason to be here. Flame Giants and Fire Dragons are supposed to be extinct, but they're swarming inside Lost Volcano Valley. I was shocked to find out that they were still alive. I don't suppose I've mentioned that I'm a descendant of Fire Dragon kin? Hmm... It seems I haven't. The dragon's blood coursing through my veins has made me strong. Most of my equipment is crafted using ancient Flame Giant secrets. Their armor and weapons are masterworks... I imagine you've figured out why I'm really here. I wanted to confer with the Flame Giants and Fire Dragons, to see if they could help me resolve the situation in my homeland. But, somehow they've gone insane, and I couldn't even deliver my message... Even though I had no intention of hurting them, they attacked me as if I was there to kill them. ~ However, I did manage to obtain something that might help me.  It's this Secret Map of Volcano Valley. I think this map shows the location where a Secret Scroll is hidden in the Volcanic Wasteland or Volcano Valley. Since I am not completely well, would you go look for this scroll, my friend?

Mission: Secret Scroll of Volcano Valley x1

~

Excellent. This Secret Scroll will prove useful. I'll be able to increase my prowess in battle and improve my equipment with this. This is better than what I expected! Ah, I don't sound like I'm after a peaceful resolution? Oh... didn't I just tell you that I've changed my mind? A peaceful resolution is out of the question at this point. While I was dragging myself out of that valley half dead, I thought to myself, trying to talk peace when faced with those determined to kill you is nonsense! I don't have the time or energy to show those evil bastards mercy!

Reward:

• Experience: 50,000
• Gold: 75,000
• Item: Secret Map of Volcano Valley x1

9.Resources of Volcano Valley

My friend, if you are planning on staying here for a while, would you mind helping me? I'm planning on making some arms with the knowledge in this scroll. My body still feels weak, but this could be a good opportunity to focus on my craft. But, I doubt I'll be able to gather the materials I need in my current state. According to this scroll, the equipment here requires fire from the volcano spirits. ~ You will find Flame Spirits and Skeleton Spirits in Volcano Valley. They probably contain the Fire of Volcano Spirits. I think that's what this scroll is talking about. Can you bring some to me?

Mission: Fire of Volcano Spirit x30

~

Oh, you brought it! Hmm... this looks very mysterious...
