That new quest is pretty cool I like it. You should make more of those type of quests, time permitting. However I do think there should be a higher difficulty level quest, like a 5-6 maybe, one that you can't use barding on.

How do you reset the Ogre Lord Quest..? the guards stay on the island and keep slaying ogres, lol

That's the first I'd heard of the guards surviving. They do eventually despawn.

Aye. Thanks. We're going to try and do a lot mor of these and some bigger ones for sure. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Sweet! Another quest. Wicked Derrick, Looking forward to checking it out when I get home tonight.

I've occasionally noticed the town crier in Britain saying there's something weird going on north of town. Is this a quest too?

It is. But it's not the town crier, it's a quy near him. To trigger the quest you'll have to talk with and inqure of the NPC's. You recieve a note in your pack when you've been given the quest.

[alatar]

Could you list the keywords for the NPC's..? Some of them are hard to trigger.

[Derrick]

If you question them, like "what", "where", "how", or offer "help" or answer their yes and no questions appropriately they should run pretty smooth. I see a lot of people walking around them just saying "quest", or saying nothing at all.

Hehe! It's like playing the old Sierra games. I remember getting stuck in one of the Police Quests because I couldn't figure out how to give the drunk guy a breath test. "Give drunk test" and "give test" didn't seem to work. I can't remember the exact line that triggered it in the end. I do remember the feeling of joy when my brother and I figured it out though.

Hmmm, perhaps I need to get out more...

[ecetres]

The ogre quest was freaking great!!! +100! Thanks! Keep em coming!

[Chemistry]

Gotta bump this. Love the ogre quest at despise. I did this quest two times, once with a friend and once alone. On my run i got a +25 Longsword of force and a +15 Bow of might, along with two wands (Greater healing 4 and 2 charges i might add). Couple of magic clothing. My friend however got +15 Bardiche of power, and a short spear of vanq.

As long as the rewards dont become to grand, this is a great idea. Keep them coming derrick. Let me know in game if you need any help with development, or testing.

Lol, less healing slippages. That's going to piss off all the self-righteous pure-mage pvpers.
Muahaha! Feel my poisoned kryss!
