Mathemagician Relue: Hail, Tashiro! Now is the time. I need your help.
-What's in it for me?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: I currently have nothing I can give, but if you help restore me to my
original glory, we can easily discuss such matters then.
So will you help me?
-Okay, but what are you?
-Buzz off, deadbeat.
-Exit
I once was a great mathematician. I calculated sea routes, mapped out coachmaster paths,
and programmed...
-Programmed what?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Uh, nothing, never mind. Bottom line is, I've crossed someone I shouldn't
have, and thus have been cursed.
Mathemagician Relue: There are ten rings scattered about Tunaria, that have passed from one hand
to another over the past few decades. I need them.
Mathemagician Relue: Only when I have all ten can the curse be lifted. I know the locations of
the first two. I'll write them down for you.
Will you retrieve them for me?
-Sure thing.
-Buzz off, scoundrel.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Bless you, Tashiro!
You recieved a quest!

Mathemagician Relue: Yes, yes... you are indeed powerful enough to find the next two. One of them
is near Greyvax's Caves, the other, in Sslathis.
-What are these rings?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: I was young, and like you, hungry for power. I studied magic, and alchemy,
and connected them with mathematics.
Mathemagician Relue: I drew out schematics for their construction, convinced ten smiths to each
forge one, and a machinist to finalize the project.
Mathemagicain Relue: ... Enough about me. What's your story?
-Me? Uh, well, I...
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Enough! I don't care! Just find me the rings, I'll reward you later!

-The fifth and the sixth rings...
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Yes. One of them is in the Northwestern Ro, and the other is near the Moss Mouth Cavern.
-Why did you need ten different smiths?
-Do your own dirty work. I quit.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: No one would agree to make more than one. Too much power, they'd all say.
They made me promise not to have any more made.
Mathemagician Relue: That's a promise I quickly broke. LOL!!1!!1!
Mathemagician Relue: ... What's with that look?
-Nothing. You're a little creepy. Probably your curse.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Curious about the curse, are you? Let it suffice to say that my mind and body
are encased within the rings.
Mathemagician Relue: My very existence is spread all about Tunaria. Thus, I know well where the rings are.
Mathemagician Relue: Go, retrieve the rings... and keep in mind not to wear them. They certainly won't
do you any good.
You recieved a quest!

Halfring: A curse-'elper, are ye? What d'ye mean?
-Well, you look cursed. I can help.
Halfring: That so? If yer such an expert, what kinda curse do I 'ave an' what's it like?

Halfring: Git outta here, jerk!
-The ring is cursed. The ring is cursing you.

Get Ring of Charisma from a 'halfbox' on top of the entrance to Moss Mouth Cavern.

o' the cursed box!"
Mathemagician Relue: Give me the rings, give them to me, I need them...

Mathemagician Relue: Gahaha... preciouss rings... mine again...

hero, paragon of altruism!
Mathemagician Relue: ... What's with that look?
-I have concerns about from whom I'm getting the rings.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: The rings are as cursed as I am. Autonomy of one's own mind and body become ineffably
foreign to one who would wear the rings.
Mathemagician Relue: Don't wear them, lest you desire to lose control over your own mind and body. There
will be illusions of control, yes...
Mathemagician Relue: Once you realize what it's done, you'll likely be too far gone to abandon your delusions.
Mathemagician Relue: Don't waste your time listening to an old man chatter. Gain strength, and return.

Level 40:
Mathemagician Relue: Hail, Tashiro! Now is the time. I need your help.
-Tell me where the other rings are.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Your will to help is a treasure amongst all beings. When this is over, you'll be
delighted to find out who I am.
Mathemagician Relue: A ring is held by a dwarf atop a mount at Widow's Peak. The other is in the possession
of a wisp in Spirit Talker's Wood.
-I'll go get them.
-Wait, don't give me this quest yet.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Absolutely splendid. Return as soon as you find them.
-How did you become cursed?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: There was one who felt I wielded too much power. He attempted to bring me down, but
was easily laid waste to.
Mathemagician Relue: A party of individuals who shared similiar beliefs about my power and some who sought
to avenge the first raided my dominion.
Mathemagician Relue: One amongst them, the last to fall, was well versed in the tongue of curses.
Mathemagician Relue: With her final breath, she muttered words unrepeatable here, or else we'd have a
higher ESRB rating. I have since been cursed.
Mathemagician Relue: Go, find my rings. It is difficult for me to wait much longer.

Mathemagician Relue: What else did you want to know, Tashiro?
-Were you worthy of the claim that you wielded too much power?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: My work as a mathematician improved the world for sure! Trade became more efficient,
travel times were reduced...
Mathemagician Relue: I did good for society, and, of course, was rewarded with tunar up to the ears.
What I did with my tunar is my own business.
Mathemagician Relue: So I wanted to have some rings crafted, no big deal, right?

it's nothing to worry about.
Mathemagician Relue: Good luck finding the rings. Remember, swim in the direction the skull faces...
and you'll find that squid.
-Squid?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Yes, a flying squid. Anyway, please, just go find the rings.
*Quest Log*
Retrieve the rings from Centaur Valley and Broken Skull Rock.
Mathemagician Relue: What is it, Tashiro?
-Where did you say the rings were?
=So these are the last two rings, right?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Face the entrance of Centaur Valley, and travel along the outer edge of its
mountain border, to the right.
Mathemagician Relue: For the other ring, find Broken Skull Rock, face the same direction as the skull,
and swim until you find the kraken.
Mathemagician Relue: Do not be long.
Centaur Valley (C/W) Along outer north mountain by a tree, giant greater ghast, ring of Intelligence
Broken Skull Rock (E) Close to island east of BSR, flying kraken, ring of Wisdom
Mathemagician Relue: Good... you have the rings... give them to me.... ha... haha...
-... Sure.
-Wait just a bit longer.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: All ten rings... I think I'm drooling...
-So what is it that remains to be done?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: The precious, precious rings, have their own curse in addition to my curse.
Wearing all ten will lift my curse, but...
Mathemagician Relue: ... but then, the rings will overwhelm and destroy me. There are bracers that
once belonged to me. They would protect me.
Mathemagician Relue: The descendant of the woman who cursed me stole those bracers from me. You are
not yet strong enough to face him.
Mathemagician Relue: So, Tashiro... please return when you are strong enough. The task is so close
to completion...
You have recieved 80405652 exp. You have recieved 101 tunar.
You have finished a quest!

Mathemagician Relue: Hail, Tashiro! Now is the time. I need your help.
-Tell me about that minor final task.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: A scoundrel by the name of Sethlans spends his days on the piers of Qeynos.
Mathemagician Relue: Vanquish him, and loot the bracers he wears; they belong to me, and they are
the key to lifting this curse.
-Has he done you wrong besides owning the bracers?
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Excuse me?
-Well, the bracers aren't cursed, so he's just a normal guy.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Excuse me twice?
-If the man is sane, I can convince him to give them to me.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: I see what you are saying. But this is no ordinary man. He is one with a
silver tongue, and will tell you disgusting lies.
Mathemagician Relue: He is one to hold no value to truth. He is tricky and deceptive, so use
extreme caution when engaging him.
Mathemagician Relue: The Machinist Sethlans is a truly dangerous foe, but I anticipate that your
ongoing quest for power has truly prepared you.
You recieved a quest!
*Quest Log*
Retrieve the bracers from Machinist Sethlans at the piers of Qeynos.
Mathemagician Relue: Sethlans keeps at the western end of Qeynos, by the water. Kill him, ask
questions later.
Qeynos (W) Right on the docks west of Qeynos, Machinist Sethlans
Machinist Sethlans: I've given up my trade. Just taking it easy now...
Machinist Sethlans: ... Who are you? What do you want with me?
-You've something I need. Comply, and there'll be no violence.
-Exit
Machinist Sethlans: What are you after and why?
-The bracers. I am attempting to lift a curse.
-Exit
Machinist Sethlans: You'll get no bracers from me. Begone!
-Please, sir, it's absolutely necessary.
Machinist Sethlans: I've been warned of this day all my life. It is my duty as heir to the
bracers to keep them from the hands of Relue.
-Then you know him. You know what curse he suffers.
Machinist Sethlans: I know well what curse he suffers. It was my great-great-great-great-
grandmother who set that spell upon him.
-Great-great-great-great?!
Machinist Sethlans: In this day, the man is well over 200 years old. He is a corruption upon
our lands. His power and wealth was too great...
Machinist Sethlans: Such gifts are curses in of themselves to those who would wield them for
personal benefit with no regard for other life.
Machinist Sethlans: Good or evil were of no matter to him, totally separate from his base
agenda. Heroes and villains were mere pawns to him.
-His mathematical ingenuity brought great change to Tunaria.
Machinist Sethlans: We can credit the efficiency of our services to him, but before he was
ousted, he was insane. Drunk with power.
Machinist Sethlans: He wielded the most arcane of magic, a spell he called "the blue screen
of death."
Machinist Sethlans: Those he cursed would lose all sensory perception, effectively becoming
frozen with no choice but to respawn.
Machinist Sethlans: At least other evil beings protect each other, and share common goals.
This man did not deserve to live.
-What exactly did he do that was bad?
Machinist Sethlans: He cast the "blue screen of death" on anyone within his range, and
attempted to sell products that would protect them from it.
Machinist Sethlans: That is where he made bank. And the more money he had, the more
dangerous he became.
Machinist Sethlans: A party of both good and evil alignments ended his reign. I will not
see the fruits of their sacrifices undone.
Machinist Sethlans: Giving you the bracers will ensure a return of those times. I cannot
give them to you.
-He warned me of your silver tongue.
Machinist Sethlans: And he would. How else would he convince you to loot the bracers off
of one uncorrupted by the curse of his rings?
Machinist Sethlans: Why don't we devise a machination of our own, and find out if what I am
saying is true?
-How do we do that?
Machinist Sethlans: I have a replica of the bracers. Give them to him, and see what his
intentions are once lifting the curse.
Machinist Sethlans: If he is what I say he is, you should bring it upon yourself to
eliminate him. If not, come back here and do what you will.
Machinist Sethlans: Do you accept those terms?
-Yes, give me the replica.
-Let me think about it.
-Then I shall strip them from your limp arms, knave.
-Exit
You finished a quest!
You recieved a quest!

Mathemagician Relue: Excellent! You've succeeded in vanquishing that fool Sethlans!
-Indeed. Here are the bracers.
-Uh... no. Give me more time.
-Exit
Mathemagician Relue: Gahaha... after hundreds of years... finally! I can summon my true form at
the place I was cursed.
Mathemagician Relue: I haven't forgotten about your reward, Tashiro! Come meet me at the
Permafrost and I shall reward you with a "blue screen."
Mathemagician Relue: Just what it is, you'll have to see for yourself! Ta ta!
Mathemagician Relue: I will rematerialize in northwest Permafrost. When the transfer completes,
my existence here will be no more.
You have finished a quest!
You have recieved a quest!
You have recieved 10 000000 exp. You have recieved 201000 tunar.
*Quest Log*
Meet with the Mathemagician Relue at the Permafrost, defeat and loot him, return to Sethlans
in Qeynos.
Mathemagician Relue: My last bind point was at the Permafrost. Near the sea, at the base of the
mountains.
Machinist Sethlans: I can tell by your look that you have confirmed what I've said to be true.
You have a battle ahead of you, but worry not.
Machinist Sethlans: He only needs the ten rings to lift his curse, but with the fake bracers he
will not be protected from his own rings.
Machinist Sethlans: When he realizes this, he won't dare cast "the blue screen of death." He'd
be nearly invincible with the real bracers...
Machinist Sethlans: I've long given up my trade, but if you defeat him and loot his rings, I can
craft somethign good for you.
Machinist Sethlans: Put Relue out of his misery. His existence harms both good and evil.
Permafrost (NW) By west coast mountain range, M. Relue's true form (level 60), Relue's Loot
Machinist Sethlans (Perma NW): Relue's bind point is just beyond this corner. I've been
suppressing his reappearance.
Machinist Sethlans: Continue northwest along this shore and you'll find him. I'm letting him
out now! Finish him.
Machinist Sethlans: Good Work, Tashiro! Let us reconvene at Qeynos.
Machinist Sethlans (Qeynos W): You have his loot?
-Indeed. Here you go.
-Not quite...
-Exit
You have given away Relue's Loot.
You have finished a quest!

Machinist Sethlans: Was the whole thing a bit strange to you?
-Yes, I've never encountered such cursed beings.
Machinist Sethlans: Let it please you to know that no beings were cursed or killed in the making
of this presentation.
-What?
(A bunch of images load up of the mobs during quest with rings)
Mathemagician Sethlans: Bwahaha... don't you get it? It was just ME the whole time.
Wahahaha... thanks for playing!
