Kash Dion Castle Town
Quest to acquire occupation change item, 'Mark of the Challenger.' Kash says he will tell you who has the Mark of the Challenger, if you manage to kill the medusa, Shyslyssys, and bring forth the old parchment. She lives in a cave in the Neutral Zone, which is between the Elven and the Dark Forests. He advises you to go in parties, for she is a strong enemy who has lived for hundreds of years.

You may keep all of the treasure you find, but if you by chance find a piece of old sheepskin, please give that to me. What do you think?
Player choice:
Hu hu... At least your courage measures up. But you should not think about going alone. Not that I don't trust your abilities... But this is a medusa that has lived for hundreds of years! There must be something there, don't you think? It would be best to gather some friends to go with you.
There is a keyhole in the middle of the chest.
Player choice:
The gold is inside the chest.
There are glittering materials inside the box.
You cannot open the chest if you do not have the correct key!
What am I to do? What if the shield is really destroyed? Arrgh! I can't even think about it!
Hmm, must stay calm.
If someone wanted to destroy the shield... Where would they go? Ah-Hah!! There is only one place I know of! The deepest parts of the Mithril Mines, where the Earth Worm was slain and its blood spilled! The shield is most vulnerable in places where evil is rampant. Could it be that those who seek to destroy the magic shield are led by the evil Queen of the Succubus? In fact I am quite sure of it!
You must leave at once and foil their evil plan! Please!
You fool! Why are you still here? Can you not even manage such an easy task on your own?
Well... I understand the burden of having the responsibility of saving the world on your shoulders... But if you want to prove your valor to Fighter
Raldo, you must take care of this!
Go to the deepest parts of the Mithril Mines and put an end to the monsters that are attempting to destroy the shield! Leave at once!
I thought
Raldo would send me a skilled fighter. You are useless. You would not last one minute in battle. Go and train yourself!
Hey, you!
Raldo was looking for you... Something about giving you the Mark of the Challenger...
He has gone to the Mithril Mines, saying that the Queen of the Succubus may appear at any time. Why don't you meet him there?
You wish to earn the Mark of the Challenger? Of course, you already know that it is not an easy task, right? It is not something that can be taken lightly, especially by unskilled persons like yourself... Do not act so rashly, but think of your abilities...!
(This quest may only be performed by Warriors, Elven Village Knights, Palus Knights, Orc Village Marauders, or Orc Village Monks of level 35 or higher.)
You say you are looking for the Mark of the Challenger? Hey, you! Are you sure you are not mistaken? That mark is not something that you would be able to possess.
(This quest may only be performed by Warriors, Elven Village Knights, Palus Knights, Orc Village Marauders, or
You wish to earn the Mark of the Challenger? Of course, you already know that it is not an easy task, right? Plus, I do not have the mark in my possession. Don't be impatient. I know where it is, though. If I tell you where it is... will you do something for me?
Player choice:
It has lived off of many warriors in its hundreds of years of existence. I do not want to take you lightly, but I am sure that there are better Warriors than you that have ended up as the creature's lunch. By the way, I have received additional information that its cave is within the cave near the waterfalls. Bear that in mind.
You are true to your word. Yes, this is it! I am sure of it... He he, only one more to go... Ah, don't pay any attention to me. I am just talking to myself.
Yes, the Mark of the Challenger. I have entrusted it to Martian, a friend that lives in the Giran Castle Town. Go to him and ask him for it. I will write you an introduction, so show him my letter.
Martianis a person of great influence within Giran Castle Town. So it is hard to meet him unless you have an introduction letter... Hmmph, acting all busy and all!
Hey, what a pleasant surprise to see you again. Nice to see that you are still alive. I see you have yet to complete the task assigned to you by Martian? Hey, don't frown. You know. Martian is the bad one, not I. I have never told a lie in my entire life. He he!
What , Cash? Bloody man... I guess I will have to thank you for reminding me of a person that I miss. Of course, I have the mark with me. But I can't simply give it to a person who is not even qualified... Do you mind if I test you?
Player choice:
Let me see then… What would be good? Right, this one seems good enough. I heard that there is an evil creature attacking the villagers of Floran Villagethese days. People call him'Gore'. He lives in a cave near Floran Village and messes up the village whenever he feels like to.
I want you to go and kill the evil creature. The hero who saved a village... Don't you think that you should hold such a title at least to receive the mark?
So, you have killed the Gore? But just before, the villagers of Floran Village were attacked again by another evil creature.
This time the creature is called'
Baraham'. Perhaps he came to revenge the death of his fellow. Anyway, how about searching the other caves near the 'Gore's shelter?
Find the evil creature '
Baraham' and kill him for us. I suggest that you search the other caves near the one where 'gore' was found.
I won't push you for this. After all, you weren't qualified to receive the
Mark of Challenger... That will remain as a fact.
This man,
Kash... I don't trust him... Who was it that said he was an idiot and that I'd easily be able to push him around? He is smarter than I thought!
All right, I admit it. I took advantage of you. I don't have the mark of the challenger... So what? You can't do anything.
Player choice:
Hikk...! D,d...did you meet
Raldo? I,i...in case he asks about me, t,t...tell him that you have never seen me...! I beg you...!
Player choice:
D,don't know...! He is always wandering around everywhere...! He is the watcher of the magic field... I suppose you'll be able to meet him near the Cave of '
Baraham', which you have killed ...
Did you kill
Baraham? Magnificent! You have fulfilled your task well. Concerning the Mark of the Challenger...
Player choice:
You rascal! Who provoked you to harm the guardians?
Player choice:
What the hell are you talking about? I know everything that's going on in the Floran Village! Tell me the truth. Who sent you here?
Player choice:
You fool! The two devils completely took advantage of you! They have no right to receive the
Mark of Challenger. The only person who has the qualifications is me,
Raldo!
You have some fault in the weakening of the magic field, so you are responsible for it also.
Player choices:
Good! I shall go and look at the other magic fields, meanwhile you should to to the Dwarven Village. It is likely that it is their next destination.
Ask the Elder
Filaur of the Dwarven Village about the location of the magic field. I suppose they sent the succubus flock to break down the magic field. Keep watching the place and when the evil creatures show up, kill them all! Perhaps this is the last chance! If the magic field is destroyed as well, 'the thing' will revive!
So that means that you'll give up the Mark of the Challenger... Damn you! I see! So you have no intention of going to the Dwarven Village to meet Elder
Filaur, or to protect the last seal?
What are you doing here? Set off for the Dwarven Village right now! Confirm the location of the magic field from Elder Philar and kill all the succubus so that they cannot destroy the magic field!
It seems that the girl was their leader. Never mind about the common soldiers from now on. My friends took charge of the other places. You don't need to worry a bit, since they are more trustworthy people than just you. ...anyway, if it weren't for you, things could have got worse...
Here, take this! It is a present from me, Battle King
raldo, as an acknowledgement of your braveness. It is the Mark of the Challenger which you have sought so hard! I will trace those scoundrels and root them out, including the one who is behind the scenes. See you again
Hmm, it takes longer than I had expected... Hey dude, even at this moment when you are taking a rest, the woman and children are trembling with fear. Some are even getting killed...
I repeat once more. That evil creature called 'Gore' lives in a cave near Floran Village
