Dialogue

Initial dialogue

High Priest Alkar

Come, see the fruits of my labor! I've developed a concoction that should be of value when used against the Destroyers. Unfortunately, its effectiveness is in theory only, as I have not tested it against the real thing. I need you to do something for me. Whilst in the presence of a Destroyer, throw this vial to shatter the glass. When air hits the liquid it will create a gas, which should corrode the Destroyer's hide and cause it significant pain. You know, give them a taste of their own medicine! It should work... but if it doesn't I'll use your pay to finance a nice funeral service instead. How does that sound?

 Accept: "I'll take the Destroyer challenge."

 Decline: "Four out of five adventurers agree this test is dangerous to their health."

 Ask: "Take this vial of my concoction and use it when in close range of a Destroyer. Let me know the results."

Reward dialogue

High Priest Alkar

Fantastic! Did you blindfold the Destroyers before dousing them with my secret formula? Ah, never mind. Now that we know it works, I'll give you this concentrated version I just finished. Don't forget to equip yourself before hunting Destroyers. Have fun!

Notes

• Glint's Challenge, G.O.L.E.M., and A Time For Heroes all have an easily accessed abundance of Destroyers that can be used to complete this quest.
