I apologize for my outburst earlier, [%username]. It was unworthy of me as an Asmodian.
I discovered other magical creatures that could provide the necessary power. In fact, the Balaur themselves took advantage of one of these species.
The undead energies of Acheron Drakes could be exactly what we need.
Actually, it's exactly what we need. I'd stake my reputation on it.
That's because I've discovered the existence of a particularly powerful Acheron Drake dwelling in the Forgotten Storeroom.
With its energies, you can finally activate the Rift Orb and see Stormwing with your own eyes. Please take this final step with me.
When you kill [%dic:STR_DIC_E_IDCatacombsN_BonedrakeNmd_55_Ah], you can extract its Magical Essence. Once you have it, return to the [%dic:STR_DIC_OBJ_IDCatacombs_BigOrb_Q30211].
Use the Magical Essence and the Quartz Rod. The two will resonate on their own, providing the power the Rod needs to activate the Orb.
You can then teleport to the place where Stormwing is imprisoned. If you decide to enter the portal right then and there--and you need not--I suggest bringing powerful and staunch allies with you.
The Shedim watch over you, [%username].
This is the last step in this long journey. I beg you not to give up now.
We need to confirm whether Stormwing is safely imprisoned or not. I know it may be difficult to contemplate having to fight something feared by Tiamat.
But if you need time to think about it, I understand. But please don't take too long to come to a final decision.
(The Rift Orb glows softly.)
(The Orb explodes in a dazzling light.)
(An Abyss Gate to the Prison of Ice opens. You shouldn't step through unprepared.)
(The Orb's light fades away.)
(You need the Magical Essence to produce the energy needed to activate the Orb.)
You've returned, [%username]! Herka has given me a report on all you have learned thus far.
Stormwing sounds like a grave threat indeed. I know that we had incomplete information, yet I regret my rash decision.
Herka said you were going to its prison personally. What happened?
Knowing that something as vicious and powerful as Stormwing lurks there...it's almost unimaginable.
But now we know what we're up against. We can prepare for a monumental battle. You should consider leading that charge, [%username].
You have done well in this pursuit. The Shedim Lords must be proud to see one such as you serving them.
Hunt [%dic:STR_DIC_E_IDCatacombsN_BonedrakeNmd_55_Ah] to obtain Magical Essence and activate the [%dic:STR_DIC_OBJ_IDCatacombs_BigOrb_Q30211].
[%collectitem]Report to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Hler].
Obtain the Magical Essence and activate the Rift Orb.
Herka discovered that other species of monster could be used to power the Quartz Rod. She sent you after Thurzon the Undying, a powerful undead in the Forgotten Storeroom.
You defeated it and recieved the Magical Essence, which was finally able to recharge the Quartz Rod and activate the Rift Orb.
The Orb opened a portal to the Prison of Ice. Richelle had high praise for your dedication.
