Chapter 15: Chapter 15
"Radermin"
"In the Face of Death. The spell is cast on you. Your wounds are healing.
Regeneration: +35%
Duration: 1 hour."
Will read the message, completely exhausted. Maximum sensitivity was no joke. The machine was right about the reward — it was too generous. Nonetheless, he wasn't sure he would ever do it again. The pain felt too real. Shivers would, every now and then, run down his spine, paralyzing his entire body for a short period of time.
Two hours later, when his vital signs had returned to normal — the spell was, apparently, on a legendary level — the executioner spoke.
"How are you holding up?" asked the man.
"Do you really want me to answer, Radermin?" he asked disrespectfully. "That's right, I saw your name before my eyes exploded, you bastard."
Radermin's expression flickered from impressed to furious and back again.
"Ravens are harbingers of either change or bad news. Which are you?"
"I'm the one that can help. I'm not clairvoyant, but I know you need me." Will staggered to the other chair and sat in it.
The hunter gave a groan of disapproval, but didn't rebut Will's assertion.
"You didn't answer." Radermin paused, then continued. "You're not as tough as I thought you'd be. Your body is weak, but your spirit is like that of a dragon — tempered in battle. I have a mission to offer. It won't be a walk in the park, but we're running out of time. A sorcerer from Taargada Forest currently possesses a box that belongs to me. I can't reveal details, all you need to know is that I want it back. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it."
"Do you want me to kill the sorcerer?"
"Hahaha! You? Kill him? He will end you in a blink of an eye! Even I, with all my powers, couldn't kill him. He tricked me, and took my last chance… I mean, my box. You're a rogue, aren't you? So, I want you to steal it. If you bring back what's mine, I'll thank you."
"You've earned Radermin's approval by demonstrating your willpower.
Pandora's Box (Epic quest chain, part I).
Find the sorcerer and locate the box. The sorcerer must not know anything about your mission, otherwise you will never find the box. You have three months.
Reward: +11000 XP
+100 gold
+15 Approval points
Also, you get to ask Radermin one question and get one answer."
"No pain, no gain," said Will, and gave the hunter a crooked smile.
Generally, Epic quests were not single-player quests unless stated otherwise. But three months? That didn't sound like a lot of time to Will. He tried to imagine what level the sorcerer might be.
"Accept? Yes/No."
