- (Before starting the quest:)
- I can start this quest by speaking to Seren on the first floor of Burthorpe castle.
- (After starting the quest:)
- Seren is concerned that time is running out to track down Kerapac. Her aura has begun to affect the council and she fears if the council remains with her much longer then they will find themselves ensnared by the aura's coersive nature. She has told me that Thok and Charos are on Anachronia and on the trail of Kerapac.
- (Before talking to Mr Mordaut:)
- I should speak to Mr Mordaut on Anachronia and ask him about Thok and Charos.
- (After talking to Mr Mordaut:)
- Mr Mordaut informed me that Thok and Charos had visited Anachronia not long ago and were looking for Kerapac's lair.
- (Before talking to Charos and Thok:)
- I need to search for Tok and Charos. Mr Mordaut tells me that they are investigating dragonkin ruins to the north of the base camp.
- (Before listening to Thok's story and after talking to Charos and Thok:)
- I should listen to Thok's story about what happened when he got to the island. I suspect it might be a little exaggerated.
- (After listening to Thok's story:)
- Thok told me a rather outlandish story about him reaching the island. It sounds like Kerapac has set up his lair inside the volcano.
- (Before talking to Charos:)
- I should speak to Charos by the volcano lab entrance.
- (Before restoring a dragonkin device and after talking to Charos:)
- Charos has suggested that I excavate excavation sites near the volcano lab entrance.
- (Before showing a dragonkin device to Charos and after restoring a dragonkin device:)
- I have excavated a dragonkin artefact. I should show it to Charos.
- (Before uncovering the soil and after showing a dragonkin device to Charos:)
- The first artefact I discovered hasn't given us the insight we need. I should excavate excavation sites near the volcano lab entrance to see if there's anything else that can help me.
- (Before restoring a dragonkin tablet and after uncovering the soil:)
- I should excavate excavation sites near the volcano lab entrance and restore any artefacts I uncover, before I bring them to Charos.
- (Before showing the dragonkin artefacts to Charos and after restoring a dragonkin tablet:)
- I should bring the restored artefacts to Charos.
- (After showing a dragonkin tablet to Charos:)
- On Charos's advice, I excavated the ruins beside the volcano on Anachronia. I found a strange crystalline device and an ancient dragonkin tablet written in a very different style.
- (Before talking to Hannibus:)
- I should go and speak to Hannibus, who is currently talking to Great Granny Potterington on her ranch on Anachronia.
- (Before entering the ruins and after talking to Hannibus:)
- Hannibus translated the dragonkin tablet. The tablet directed us to a dragonkin chamber in the north-east of Anachronia. I should go and find him.
- (Before entering the shared dream and after entering the ruins:)
- I should talk to Hannibus to learn about the sleeping dragonkin.
- (Before entering the lower chamber and after entering the shared dream:)
- I can enter the Nodon dream by speaking to Hannibus. I should explore this dream by studying the dragonkin to learn their secrets. There appears to be a lower chamber that I should try to reach.
- (Dragonkin passcode:)
- (Before memorising the dragonkin passcode:)
- I need to work out how to disable the barriers in the chamber below.
- (Before entering the dragonkin passcode and after memorising the dragonkin passcode:)
- I have learned a dragonkin passcode. I should enter it into the pylon in the real world.
- (After entering the dragonkin passcode:)
- I have disabled the barriers in the lower chamber by entering a dragonkin passcode into the pylon.
- (Before memorising the dragonkin passcode:)
- (Dragonkin passphrase:)
- (Before memorising the dragonkin passphrase:)
- I need to find a way into the lower chamber.
- (After memorising the dragonkin passphrase:)
- I have discovered the passphrase which will let me access the lower chamber of the Nodon hibernatorium.
- (Before memorising the dragonkin passphrase:)
- (Before listening to the Kindra council and after entering the lower chamber:)
- I should speak to Hannibus in the lower chamber and see what the dream of the Kindra council will reveal.
- (After listening to the Kindra council:)
- Hannibus was able to connect me to the dream network of the sleeping Nodon dragonkin. There I learned about Kerapac's device. This device creates something called 'shadow anima', which appears to have angered the elder gods. I suspect this is the device Kerapac is using to continue his battle with the elder gods.
- (Before failing to kill Kerapac:)
- I should speak with the others at the upper entrance to the hibernatorium.
- (After failing to kill Kerapac:)
- After we discovered the sleeping Nodon, Kerapac arrived and threatened us all. Thok, Charos and myself attempted to fight him but we discovered that all our attacks were harmless. His mastery over the Needle has allowed him to reverse any harm he takes, making him invulnerable. A direct confrontation won't work against him.
- (Before talking to Seren:)
- I should speak with the others at the upper entrance to the hibernatorium.
- (Before talking to Primose and after talking to Seren:)
- Seren has suggested that we speak to a previous owner of the Needle. I should go and speak to Primrose in her house west of Piscatoris.
- (After talking to Primrose:)
- I spoke with Primrose about the Needle. Unfortunately, she could not tell me of any way in which the Needle can be destroyed, or its user defeated. She mentioned that the Needle forges a strong connection with its user, but she did not have any suggestion of how to take advantage of this.
- (Before talking to Seren:)
- I should go and speak to Seren in Burthorpe.
- (Before receiving the Eye of Jas and after talking to Seren:)
- After we were unable to find a solution from the previous owner of the Needle, Seren suggested that we need to speak to the creators of the elder artefacts. She has arranged a meeting with the elder god Jas and I should meet Seren by the Heart in the .
- I need to be careful with this conversation with Jas, as the fate of mortal life rests on her reaction to my questions.
- (After receiving the Eye of Jas:)
- I spoke with the elder god Jas. She revealed that Kerapac is protected by a barrier of shadow anima that she refers to as the 'toxic substance'. She has given me an object that she claims will 'correct the problem' with regards to Kerapac and his mastery of the Needle. I need to resolve the situation quickly. Jas has made it clear that, if we aren't able to fix the problem soon, she'll destroy the island of Anachronia and the tidal forces will decimate other settlements as a result.
- (Before fighting the dinosaur waves:)
- I should go and speak to Charos, Hannibus and Thok at the Anachronia base camp.
- (After fighting the dinosaur waves:)
- Kerapac, angry at us for not just laying down and dying, sent waves of rage-filled dinosaurs at the base camp in an attempt to destroy us. With the aid of Thok, Charos, Hannibus and Laniakea, we were able to protect the base camp from destruction.
- (Before talking to Charos:)
- I should speak to Charos.
- (Before measuring anima and after talking to Charos:)
- I need to use the Measure at certain points around the volcano ruins on Anachronia. I should look for Charos around these ruins and use the Measure near where he's waiting.
- (Before talking to Charos and after measuring anima:)
- I should speak to Charos.
- (After talking to Charos:)
- I used the Measure to investigate the 'cosmic energy' that the dragonkin use for their technology. According to Charos, cosmic energy is another form of anima and can be manipulated just like any other enchantment. While investigating, we also discovered that the anima reacts oddly to me. It looks as though what makes me the World Guardian is actually a manifestation of shadow anima, which Guthix grafted to my soul when he made me the World Guardian.
- (Before entering Kerapac's lab:)
- I need to enter Kerapac's lab through the volcano entrance.
- (Before powering down a pylon and after entering Kerapac's lab:)
- I need to work out how to power down the barrier blocking my path through the lab.
- (Before powering down all pylons and afterpowering down a pylon:)
- I have managed to deactivate a pylon by setting the correct symbols.
- Maybe if I can deactivate all four pylons in the lab the barrier will power down too.
- (After powering down all pylons:)
- I managed to power down the barrier within the lab.
- (Before defeating the black stone dragon:)
- I need to defeat the black stone dragon in order to take down Kerapac's barrier.
- (After defeating the black stone dragon:)
- I defeated the black stone dragon, sister to the on in the Dragonkin Laboratory. In defeating here, Kerapac's shadow anima barrier is no longer active.
- (Before escaping Kerapac's lab:)
- I need to get out of Kerapac's lab before it is destroyed.
- (After escaping Kerapac's lab:)
- I managed to escape Kerapac's lab before it was destroyed.
- (Before talking to Seren:)
- I need to speak with Seren about what has happened.
- (After talking to Seren:)
- I have informed Seren that Kerapac and the Nodon have been bound to Jas via the power of the Needle. Ful has destroyed Kerapac's lab, so his device should no longer be a problem.
