You say, 'Hail, Marzooq the Liberated'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Adventurer! Welcome to the Sunken Cathedral. As you can see, it is not what it once was.'

You say, 'You live in here? This place is a dump!'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Hold your tongue! I was imprisoned in a magic lamp for the past 5,446 years. This is a paradise by comparison!'

You say, 'Sounds like a massive bummer. Well, I'm glad you're out. You need me to help with anything? Get rid of all these goblins maybe?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Ugh, these goblins. The place is crawling with them. They gargle and gurgle and wrestle one another all night! I can't concentrate to read my books!'

You say, 'So, kill all the goblins then?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'No! When did I say that? I've learned to be much more tolerant in my advanced age. You look famished. Take this perfectly good sandwich.'

You say, 'A sandwich?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Yes, its perfectly good. I don't see what the problem is. Take the sandwich and I'll see you later.'

You receive Perfectly Good Sandwich.

Find The Treasure Hunter (Sunken Cathedral  •) .

You say, 'Hail, The Treasure Hunter'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'I am The Treasure Hunter! What brings you to the Sunken Cathedral? Is it the rumors of extravagant treasure?'

You say, 'Did they drag you out of the sea or something?'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'My fashion sense is none of your concern. As you can see, I have amassed great wealth.'

You say, 'Looks like you've got quite a bit more than any one man needs. Why don't you pack it up, get a nice place on the shores of Zenn Malath or something?'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'You'd like that wouldn't you? If I just left all the treasure here for you to find? Well, I'll do no such thing. This is a competition! Whoever dies with the most gold and jewels wins!'

You say, 'Great... I'll just head back home then, and leave you to this.'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'Good! Glad to see you've got a head on your shoulders. Hey, before you go - I'm hungry. Have you got a sandwich?'

You say, 'It just so happens that I might.

The Treasure Hunter says, 'Hand it over and maybe we can make a deal.'

The Treasure Hunter eyes the sandwich suspiciously.

You say, 'It's a perfectly good sandwich.'

The Treasure Hunter looks convinced. He clumsily tears the sandwich in half and stuffs his face.

The Treasure Hunter says, 'I knew I recognized this sandwich! The genie!?! He's here? Tell him the treasure is mine and he'll never get even one gold piece.'

You say, 'About that. I found this guy, he's some kind of bum, I guess. Extremely wealthy. He says he knows you.'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Accursed Treasure Hunter! He's here! Unbelievable! See what he wants, maybe if we appease him he will get bored and get out of here. And take this, its  [sic] his favorite.'

You say, 'I... Uh... Maybe you shouldn't have done that.'

The Treasure Hunter wretches and clutches his chest for a moment. Finally, he lets out a massive burp!

The Treasure Hunter says, 'Delicious. Maybe that genie is not as bad as I thought. You seem OK, too. Now! I'll need your help.'

You say, 'My help?'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'Yes, your help. I took in a stray blink dog a few weeks ago, but you know those damned things - always teleporting around, impossible to keep on a leash. If you find him in the dungeon, can you bring him back here?

You say, 'Hail, The Treasure Hunter'

You say, 'Hail, Marzooq the Liberated'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'You look like you know something. Spit it out.'

You say, 'Look, it is a long story. The guy you call the Treasure Hunter, who seems homeless, is holed up in the cathedral with emeralds and rubies as big as your head. I rescued his dog.'

Marzooq the Liberated exclaims incredulously, 'The blink dog is here too? This is worse than I thought, he's moving in here. The Treasure Hunter... He's a bad guy - he's greedy, selfish. He doesn't wash the dishes, he drinks all your perfume, its intolerable!'

You say, 'What do you suppose I should do about it?'

You say, 'Are you OK? What was this place?'

escaped priestess says, 'This cathedral was a place of worship for our ascetic order called the Kecathy. We lived here in peace for decades until that filthy, sodden bum showed up. He wasn't here for even a week before the obscene amount of gold and riches began to pile up, and then the goblin siege began.'

You gain 10,000 experience!!

You say, 'Marzooq sent me. He asked me to bring you this locked box.'

rotten corpse says, 'Ah, I feel so much better now.'

You say, 'I'd say she looks good as new.'

escaped priestess says, 'You must go now... Please, take her back to Marzooq.'

You say, 'Hail, rotten corpse'

You say, 'Oh yeah. You're fine, definitely. Don't worry about it.'

You say, 'I will take you there.'

rotten corpse says, 'Brains.... I mean, uh. I'll follow you.'

You gain 10,000 experience!!

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'They must rest now. I will put powerful sorcery on them so that they can come to our aid later!'

You say, 'Marzooq, don't you think this is a bit crazy now? I've rescued a blink dog, found the escaped priestess, the wealthiest insane bum in the land drinks perfume, and now we reanimated this dead person...'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'We? You did that. I didn't reanimate a dead person. Don't put that on me. I get it, you must want this.'

You receive Variety Pack.

You gain 20,000 experience!!

You gain 20,000 experience!!

Marzooq the Liberated groans.

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'I was trapped inside this lamp for well over 5,000 years. It is a deeply cursed object, made of the purest gold and glimmering with runes.'

You say, 'Good thing I have it now, eh?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'It's not for you. Can you think of anybody around here afflicted with overwhelming avarice and bad judgment? The kind of person who might make a wish upon this lamp?'

You say, 'Oh... I know just the guy.'

Marzooq the Liberated returned Magic Lamp to you.

Return to The Treasure Hunter.

You say, 'Hail, The Treasure Hunter'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'I haven't seen you in a while. I have collected even more riches in the time you have been away!'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'A magic lamp! The kind that grants wishes! Hand it to me right away!'

You gain 40,000 experience!!

The Treasure Hunter turns the lamp in his hands, admiring its craftsmanship.

The Treasure Hunter says, 'The value of something like this is unimaginable! Who can even put a price on wishes! Eternal life! Endless riches! My will visited on my enemies!'

You say, 'And what will you wish for?'

The Treasure Hunter says, 'I wish for endless wealth! I wish for eternal might! I wish for the power of a god! I wish for....'

The Treasure Hunter's voice trails off as the lamp rattles and strobes with magic.

The allure of the magic lamp proves too much for The Treasure Hunter to resist. Anyone nearby with common sense recoils in horror as The Treasure Hunter formulates his wish and rubs the lamp. Billowing smoke pours from the lamp's spout. The smoke gathers around The Treasure Hunter, tearing and gripping at his body. The tendrils of smoke shove The Treasure Hunter inside the lamp where his soul is imprisoned for all eternity.

You receive Magic Lamp.

Return to Marzooq the Liberated.

You say, 'Hail, Marzooq the Liberated'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'That's an old trick, but its a good one. I'll tell you, some time in that lamp will change you. I've never been the same since.'

You say, 'Oh, yeah?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'No question about it. Time passes much, much slower in the lamp. The Treasure Hunter has already been in there for an eternity. See it with your own eyes: take the lamp back to the Treasure Hunter's treasure chest and use it yourself.'

You gain 20,000 experience!!

Return to The Treasure Hunter's room and stand in the chest there and use the magic lamp on yourself. You will spawn the Avarice Demon 6-man raid encounter. Defeat the Avarice Demon.

Avarice Demon looks upon his old lair and screams with madness.

Avarice Demon says, 'You tricked me! I spent 2,325 years in that lamp! I will have my revenge now!'

Upon death:

Avarice Demon's spirit becomes permanently imprisoned in the lamp.

Return to Marzooq the Liberated after the demon is killed.

You say, 'Hail, Marzooq the Liberated'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'I bet that was a surprise. That Avarice Demon, always popping up when you least expect him. Glad to hear you survived. Hand me back the lamp, four massive purple sapphires, four gargantuan honey topaz, and four broken greater emeralds, then I'll see about your reward.'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'This awful lamp again. I'll stash it away before the allure becomes too great. And for the gems, well, who doesn't love riches and what riches bring.'

You say, 'Marzooq, did you just want the Treasure Hunter out so you could steal his horde of coins and gems?'

Marzooq the Liberated says, 'Don't worry yourself thinking about that. Thank you for ridding me of the Treasure Hunter and his accursed blink dog. Please, take this.'

You receive Consumerism.

Return to the escaped priestess.

You say, 'Hail, escaped priestess'

escaped priestess says, 'You... You bear the mark of the consumer! You vanquished the treasure hunter? Incredible.'

You say, 'Yes, I did. Strange guy. Are there any last secrets of this cathedral?'

escaped priestess laughs ominously.

escaped priestess says, 'I suppose the genie never told you about the indignity of the hag. For a small tithe to the Kecathy I can tell you more.'

You say, 'Small? How much?'

escaped priestess says, 'Donate 100 platinum pieces and I will help you understand the depths of her suffering.'

You say, 'I would like to know more, here is the money.'

You lose 100 platinum pieces.

escaped priestess says, 'The hag was a priestess like me, once. Over the years the greed of this place consumed her body and her mind, leaving her a husk. The rumors say you can still find her down here somewhere.'

A hag's cackle disturbs the silence.

Note: The sunken hag will now spawn in zone temporarily, if she despawns you can speak the the priestess again and respawn her for 100pp

Find sunken hag (Sunken Cathedral  •)

You say, 'Hail, sunken hag'

sunken hag says, 'I feel the burden of the years of decay, the greed and the thefts which have taken place here.'

You say, 'I will say you look like you've seen better days.'

sunken hag says, 'Perhaps we can help each other.'

The hag cackles, and you begin to feel uneasy.

sunken hag says, 'Wax fruit. Wax fruit! Hand me a bowl of wax fruit and you shall learn of the indignity of the hag.'

Give a Bowl of Wax Fruit to the sunken hag.

sunken hag cackles again, and with a guttural slurp devours the wax fruit. Bits of wax stick in the hag's disgusting maw.

sunken hag says, 'There is only one thing that can ease my suffering... You must BEAR THE INDIGNITY OF THE HAG!'

<Player Name>'s face contorts as they age decades in seconds. The grungy slime of the sunken cathedral consumes their flesh.

sunken hag says, 'More items for my collection! Show me what you have brought!'

Note: The sunken hag will now engage with you as a vendor. You can respawn her as many times as you wish by spawning her from the priestess for 100pp and handing her a bowl of wax apples.
