Children of Flame

From EQ KnowledgePit

This task can be done solo easily by any class capable of dropping aggro. If there is a group camping the bottom of the crumbling towers near the zone in, if you politely ask if you can click the eggs they'll most likely let you, making this task trivial to solo.

[edit] General

This quest is given by Jenray, Envoy of Ro at location (3000, -300) just below the cliffs leading to Ashengate in Direwind Cliffs.

“	Hail, Jenray, Envoy of Ro' Jenray, Envoy of Ro peers down at your weapons with a glaring eye, 'You had best sheath those weapons before I take them from you, ____.'	”

Moron, take off your weapons, if you hail again with them equipped, he'll attack you.

“	Hail, Jenray, Envoy of Ro' Jenray, Envoy of Ro says 'Welcome, Troll, to our humble encampment. Warm yourselves by our flame and rejoice in the many [gifts] that Solusek Ro bestows upon his faithful.' You say, 'what gifts?' Jenray, Envoy of Ro says 'You may have been blinded, as I once was, by the mundane powers of Norrath's pantheon. But look around you now. Evidence of Solusek's influence and omnipotence abound. What would this world be with a sunless sky, hmm? And this simple campfire has the ability to warm, to cook meals, or to burn the unfaithful. Now consider the earth upon which you are standing. This extended mountain range exists because HE WILLS IT SO. What other deity can claim that kind of [superiority]?' You say, 'superiority?' Jenray, Envoy of Ro smiles, 'Ah, ____. You deserve to see for yourself. Allow me to show you the miracles so you will understand.'	”

Hail, Jenray, Envoy of Ro'

Jenray, Envoy of Ro says 'Welcome, Troll, to our humble encampment. Warm yourselves by our flame and rejoice in the many [gifts] that Solusek Ro bestows upon his faithful.'

You say, 'what gifts?'

Jenray, Envoy of Ro says 'You may have been blinded, as I once was, by the mundane powers of Norrath's pantheon. But look around you now. Evidence of Solusek's influence and omnipotence abound. What would this world be with a sunless sky, hmm? And this simple campfire has the ability to warm, to cook meals, or to burn the unfaithful. Now consider the earth upon which you are standing. This extended mountain range exists because HE WILLS IT SO. What other deity can claim that kind of [superiority]?'

You say, 'superiority?'

Jenray, Envoy of Ro smiles, 'Ah, ____. You deserve to see for yourself. Allow me to show you the miracles so you will understand.'

At this point you are assigned the task Children of Flame.

The description within the task window reads:

“	The bite of a drake is dangerous and yet their fire is deadly. Take but a moment and consider this: are flame-spewing drakelings evidence of the power of Veeshan, or the great Solusek Ro? Though my bias inclines me to believe that master Solusek is responsible for their existence, I cannot be sure without sample to study. Bring me several of the diminutive creatures from the depths of the temple and I will judge for myself. Look in the ruins of Ashengate for drake eggs and an incubator to speed up their hatching process. When you have found a suitable drake, use the incubator again to catch them. The lasso on the side should keep them from getting away.	”

[edit] Suggested Concurrent Tasks

Slicing Clay OR A Brim Task- whichever step you're on (you won't need to get far in the zone, but might end up killing a golem or two)
Evidence of Corruption - very long, you can collect some pieces during this task

[edit] Task Objectives

Objective Instructions	Status	Zone
Hatch four drake eggs	0/4	Ashengate, Reliquary of the Scale
Capture four baby drakes	0/4	Ashengate, Reliquary of the Scale
Deliver four captured baby drakes to Jenray	0/4	Direwind Cliffs

At this point you will receive an Ashen Incubator in your inventory which is equippable in your primary slot.

Both the first two stages of this task are available immediately. The third stage opens after the first two are complete.

[edit] Hatch four drake eggs

The eggs spawn all throughout the crumbling towers in the west wing of Ashengate. The easiest ones to find are at the bottom of the first tower. Though there are only a few there, they have a quick respawn rate.

To hatch an egg, equip the Ashen Incubator, target the egg and right click the incubator. This casts a 5 second spell which will cause the egg to break and a drake to pop out.

[edit] Capture four baby drakes

Once the drake pops out, target it and, with the incubator still equipped, click the incubator again to cast the 5 second spell again. When the spell finishes casting, a baby drake will appear in your inventory.

Repeat these first two steps three more times.
