Walkthrough
Find Robert Grayes (Northern Newport at -75, -68, 4 • Blue house near Paladin guild (Locked at night)) .
You say, 'Hail, Robert Grayes'
Robert Grayes sighs, 'Poor, poor Adriel.'
You say, 'What's wrong with her?'
Robert Grayes says, 'My fiance... she's as lifeless as the dead - in a deep coma. All because of a foolish idea.'
You say, 'Why was it foolish?'
Robert Grayes says, 'She'd heard stories about lands far from here, called the 'Great Divide' - an icy land filled with many mythical creatures. It was my idea mostly, though she coaxed me into agreeing to use the secret passage.'
You say, 'A secret passage?'
Robert Grayes says, 'Aye, to the north of here - in Everfrost - is a secret passage to those lands. The very thought of it sent chills down my spine, and I should have known how risky it was the moment I stepped into the freezing water.'
You say, 'Sounds scary.'
Robert Grayes says, 'To get to the passage you must swim underwater - below a sheet of ice. There are very few holes in the ice, so you must have strong lungs to reach the cave system which leads to the forest. Adriel... well, as soon as she entered the water she went into shock from its temperature.'
You say, 'That's terrible!'
Robert Grayes says, 'Yes, and from there her condition only worsened until she finally went into the coma she is in today. It's been four years now, but I know she will break out of it... and when she does, I would like to present her a memento of sorts. She'd begged me for days before I finally agreed to her idea of going there through the tunnel... saying she wanted to see the divide. Say, that's it, I want to give her a painting of the Great Divide.'
You say, 'Alright, I'll help you.'
Robert Grayes says, 'Take this brush, I would do it myself but I would like to stay by her side until she wakes from her coma. You'll need to purchase the oils and canvas to paint the picture, but I will reimburse your costs tenfold if you can return a picture of the divide to me.'
You receive Paintbrush from Robert Grayes.
You say, 'Where can I find them?'
Robert Grayes says, 'While I know nothing of the area, I have heard stories of cities in the wastes. Perhaps there is a city close to the divide where you can find the oils and canvas for sale.'
Find Murban Iceshard (Thurgadin at 42, 143, 2 • Northern Rogue guild) .
You say, 'Hail, Murban Iceshard'
Murban Iceshard says, 'Well hello there! Are ye workin' on a painting?'
You say, 'I am.'
Murban Iceshard says, 'Of what?'
You say, 'The Great Divide.'
Murban Iceshard says, 'Well I'll be! I can help ye with that, my sturdy painting canvas is the best in the land! Buy one and see for yerself.' Murban Iceshard digs through his available paint, 'Errh...well now, that's not good. I'm out of the paint yer gonna need. The good news, though, is that I can make some if ye bring me the components for it.'
You say, 'Okay, what do you need for the paint?
Murban Iceshard looks over his list of ingredients, 'Let's see. For the paint ye need, it'll take two chunks of enchanted ice, some oil, and a flask of water. The oil and water are easy to find -- the merchants here should sell them. The ice on the other hand...I've heard stories of some type of creatures made of ice in the Divide.
