LOIO: A Mechanical Disguise

Almik sent me to gather more parts for his disguise idea. Structural plating from the Southwest, and Radiant coral from the fish. I hope there is nothing else under the waters of that lake...

Find Almik (Lake of Ill Omen  at 1788, -2083, 262  • By the river just in from the zone in. He is invisible, so need some form of see-invisible.) .

You say, 'Tell me about this area

Almik muses out loud, 'Thinking back... I can still remember these lands when they were lush and green; But not now. Every since the Kaezulian army returned from some oversea victory, the presence of clockworks has increased. Now the lake has been tainted with yclistine and the sky with clockwork soot. Listen, I've been separated from my colleagues and I'm in desperate need of assistance.

You say, 'How did you get separated?'

Almik says, 'My people have only survived by hiding in the northwestern hills, deep underground. The only entrances have been shielded, only allowing access to those who yield a key. I...uh...lost my key.

You say, 'What do you need me to do?'

Almik says, 'I've needed to find an auxiliary method of reuniting with my friends. There is a...contraption...far to the south; The Clockwork Beacon. It can perhaps serve this purpose but it's power is locked. I believe the answers to this beacon will be found within this area's Kaezulian stronghold. You must infiltrate.

You say, 'I suppose you have a plan for this 'infiltration'...'

Almik says, 'Right you are! We'll need a disguise, a mechanical one at that. Bring me an attenuator from one of those rusty automatons. We'll need one in salvageable condition.'

You say, 'I will return with an attenuator.'

Gather and give Uncalibrated Attenuator‎ to Almik.

Note: This turn in may fail. The Uncalibrated Attenuator will be destroyed and you will have to get another. "Almik closely inspects the attenuator. 'This one is junk'"

Almik closely inspects the attenuator. 'Perfect! Now we need to calibrate.'

Almik returned Uncalibrated Attenuator to you.

You say, 'Calibrate?'

Almik says 'To calibrate you'll need to stand near a strong piece of Kaezulian machinery. Unfortunately our only options are the sentinels which patrol these lands. Lucky for you I've heard they have a large blind spot behind them. Don't get seen!'

You say, 'And what if I am seen?'

Almik says 'Then you go - SQUISH! And I continue on.

You say, 'Charming....'

You glance at the open sky (it does seem a bit hazy) and wonder how big the sentinals must be.

You receive Calibrated Attenuator.

Give Calibrated Attenuator to Almik.

Almik marvels at what's placed before him. 'AmazIng! I see your sti#l alive, good. Next we need parts for the s structure. Can't walk in there with only your flesh. Skin. Your -skin-.'

You say, 'Which parts do you need?'

Almik drones out, 'Hello? We were talking, it concerned p particular parts I ne@ded!'

You say, 'Yes. WHICH do you need?'

Almik pauses momentarily before speaking, 'Thirty structural plating from the southwest region for the exterior, and something to power the disguise. The excess yclistine waste dumped into the center lake has cause radiant coral to grow wildly. Parts of these can be used as a sufficient source; bring thirty of those as well.'

You say, 'I will return with thirty of each.'

Almik drones out, 'Hello? We were talking, it concerned p particular parts I ne@ded!'

Gather and give Structural Plating‎‎ x30 and Yclistine Infused Coral‎ x30 to Almik.

Almik says, 'These parts will do. I will disappear for a bit, but don't worry. I will return with our, well, your disguise. Speak to me again when I return, I'll be ready then.

Note: Almik will despawn at this point.

You say, 'Hail, Almik'

Almik says, 'Its time, are you ready for your disguise?'

You say, 'I am ready for the disguise'

Almik says, 'It's. AMAZING! I am so taaaaaa....'

The sudden silence catches you off guard.

Almik continues, startling you '....aaaalented! Show yourself before a patrol, they often return malfunctioning clockworks to their fortress for repairs and analysis. If you make it inside, we need the access codes to the Southwestern Clockwork Beacon. Do not escape without those. If you fail, escape with your life; or do not. No matter to me. But you may return and I can fix your diguise, should you need another.'
