OT - Looking for an NPC quest text

[Cigarskunk]

There used to be these "hero" quest NPCs which you were supposed to give GM awarded tokens to in order to complete thier quests.

The troll NPC had a great story about getting an illusion high elf ring and feeding the high elves elf meat pies.

Now that he's gone from Grobb, I can't seem to find him and his story - could anyone link it for me?

[Pojodan]

I wonder if these tokens are given out any more.

In all my days playing EQ I've only ever seen a title of any sorts other than the AA-granted titles once... once!

Granted it makes sence to not have a great many of these, but still..

[Morani]

Do you remember what the Tokens are called or who the NPC was?

[Cigarskunk]

The guy in question was a troll NPC - there's apparently an NPC in every starting city that will tell you some story having to do with them doing some great act of heroism or evil which earned them a place with that race's prefered god.

The tokens in question were supposed to be handed out by GMs on occassion for characters doing different quests and participation in GM events - you hand in the tokens and the NPCs are supposed to give you various rewards.

I'm simply looking for the chat text this guy has - he told a story about finding a magical ring that cast illusion high elf on him so he went into the high elf city and started killing elves, cooking them into pies and then serving the pies to the other high elves.

I suddenly remembered this guy as I was working on the crown of deciet quest with my troll SK who's a GM baker - the paralels are fantastic, especially considering that I've become infamous in my own guild for offering folks the various cooked versions of their race whenever they cheese me off.

Woot - found it!

This text is a fantastic read if you've never seen it before - it was part of what inspired me to make my troll a GM baker - now with the crown of deciet quest, I can imitate my hero!

Rasrok The Blotched

You say, 'Hail, Rasrok the Blotched'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Hail, yerself. What you want? Youse shud know dat youse talkin to a hee-ro. Me give many peeples [nightmares] and dat make Cazic-Thule happy soes he tooks me to da [Realm of Heroes]. I live dere a long time but now me back here agin. My job iz ta reward dose dat urned favor in da eyes of da gods.

You say, 'What about nightmares?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Dis a long story but I like tellin it cuz it about me. Trolls is gud cooks but youse need da right ingredients to make da really gud stuff. Meez always liked da taste of dem [high elves] da best so meez went to where day live over on Faydwer. Sometimes day hard to catch and day get away. Den day bring back dair friends and try to git you and dats bad.

You say, 'Tell me about high elves'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Uh-huh. Day taste da best all right. Tink it is cuz day eat so many vegetables and stuff. Makes dem taste kinda like a rabbit. Soes anyway, meez saw one alone one day so meez run it down and kills it good. But it weren't a high elf. It wuz really one of dem dark elves dat had a [ring] dat made him look like one of dem udder elves. I ates him anyway but he wuz kinda stringy.

You say, 'What about that ring?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Yup. Soes meez gots dis ring and I can use it ta look like one of dem high elves. Meez thought it wuz a good way to git dem. Soes I walk around in dair villages and stuff for a while and thought about all dem tasty elves. But meez had a [problem]. Even though I could get close to dem lookin like day do, day wouldn't follow me away from dair towns soes I could eat dem.

You say, 'What problem?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Da problem is dat dose elves talk in a funny accent. Day would look at me funny when I talks to dem. Soes this is what meez do. I looked fer one of da smart ones ta leave from his shop one night and I caught him but didn't eat him. I took him back to da [cave] I was stayin in. I kept da ring on still but meez told him I wanted him to learn meez to talk like da udder elves. After learnin me dat, meez said meez would
let him go.

You say, 'What cave?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Soes he learn me ta talk like da elves do. Took a few months but I learned it. I figgered it was worth all da effort since meez would have all da high elf meat meez could want after dat. After meez tink he did a good job at teachin me to talk like da udder elves, meez ate him. Want meez ta [show you how] dose elves talk over dere?

You say, 'Yes, please show me how'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Day go like dis. . . ''How are you gentlemen!!! It is a fine day today you must agree. Would you care to have a look at my wares? Perhaps you would be interested in purchasing one of my savory meat pies.'' Day are stoopid like dat. Meez could say enough tings like dem dat day weren't no longer scared. Soes what I did next wuz what [started] meez on da [path] dat urned me da favor of Cazic-Thule.

You say, 'What started you on da path?'

Rasrok the Blotched laughs maniacally and says, 'After meez ate dat elf what learned me to talk funny like dem, meez went to his house and took da stuff he didn't need. Meez yoozed da money ta buy a small [shop near Kelethin]. Meez sold stuff in da day and at night meez went after da high elves. Day were easy ta catch at night cuz dair is less people around and day was drunk lots of times.'

You say, 'What shop near kelethin?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Meez made a lot of money in dat little shop sellin da meat pies I made outta all da elves. Udders like da humies and dorfs started ta come to meez shop ta buy da meat pies too. Everybody loved da meat pies and thought day was good. So many peeples wer commin ta meez shop dat I had ta [step up production]. Troll cookin is da best cookin, course day thought meez was a high elf.

You say, 'How did you step up production?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Yeah. Meez needed lots more meat soes I could fills all da orders. Pretty soon though, peeples started ta notice all da missing elves and started gettin worried. Da streets of Felwithe started lookin kinda empty actually. Da stoopid elves thought it was vampires from Castle Mistmoore dat was takin peeple. Anyways, meez had ta lower da standards and started mixin in some wood elf and even humie and dorf once in a while. But it still wasn't [enough].

You say, 'what eas enough?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Usually meez go out and get da fresh meat I needed fer da pies but I came up with a better idea. Meez stay open late and let da meat come to me! Dat way meez need to hunt less and could spend more time at da shop cookin up da pies. Dat worked good for a while. Something [bad] happened one night though.

You say, 'What bad happened?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'It was late in da night and dis dorf came stumblin into da shop. He was real drunk and I thoughts he might add a tangy zip to da pies with all da liquor in em. Soes when he turns around I swung meez cleaver to take his ugly head off but it broke when it hit sumthin hard around dis dorf's neck. Come to find out da dorf has dis big [iron collar] around his neck. Of course, he starts screaming like a dorf.

You say, 'What iron collar?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Yeah. Some stoopid peeple dat thought it was vampires started wearin dese big iron collars around dair necks at night to keep from bein bit. So I gots dis dorf bellowing all loud soes I put my hand over his head and tries to smother him. Dem dorfs are pretty tough. He bit meez finger clean off. Turn out ta be da finger dat had da ring on it. So now da dorf knows meez am a troll and he start yellin even louder. Den meez started hearin [voices coming] toward da shop.

You say, 'What voices were coming?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Da dorf attracted a lot of attention with all his yellin. A pretty big crowd showed up so meez started runnin. Since day no like da trolls, day was pretty mad. I got away okay but all dem wizards and druids and magicians day got over dere burnt me up pretty good. Dats why I have all dese nice blotchy scars. [What happened next] was da best part. Cazic-Thule was really happy.

You say, 'What happened next'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Meez was pretty popular before day knew dat meez was a troll. Everyone in Faydwer knew about da pies I made and most of dem peeples dere liked da meat pies a lot. But when day searched da shop after meez ran away, day found all da heads of da peeples dat turned up missin. Dats when day finally realized dat da missin peeple were in da pies day all liked. Dis is da [fun part] dat really got Cazic-Thule's attention.

You say, 'What fun part'

Rasrok the Blotched laughs and says, 'When day all found out dat day had been eatin dair friends all dis time word spread real fast. Peeples all over was hor-ee-fied. Some didn't sleep for weeks and many refused to eat for a long time. Dem elves live a long time and dose dat still remember still have nightmares about it and are still scared to eat. All dis fear I caused made
Cazic-Thule really happy so he took me from dis plane. And still my [legend] is told quietly by some of dem elves.'

You say, 'What legend?'

Rasrok the Blotched says 'Oh yeah. Day tell dair little elves if day ain't gud, Rosrak will come bake dem into a pie and eat dem. Some tink dat dis is only a legend told ta scare peeples. But whether day knows it's true or not, day still feed Cazic Thule with da fear caused by dat story. Heh. Meez not know what da big deal is with eatin a good pie but elves and dose udder peeples are pretty stoopid ta start with.
