The Fate of Captain Umbertroe

Level 15 · Crafting · Tursh Village · Thestra

Objectives

Discover the fate of Captain Kasey Umbertroe.

Description

Talk to Osmal again about the much-admired Captain Umbertroe. She's disappeared into parts unknown, and the people of the village (Osmal very much included) want to know of her whereabouts. The only suggestion that Osmal has to give you is that she first left for Renton Keep, and that you might try to pick up her trail there. Go next to Renton Keep, and speak to Riley McLare, the Utility Vendor within the northeast tower. She gives you the idea of conferring with one of the Vulmane seers to find the halfling's location, and sends you off to Dakhnarg to talk to Ghostclaw Ramur. She gives you an old skinning knife of Kasey's to give to the Seer. Before you go on this leg of the trip, make sure you have a rare item from your crafting class, as you'll need it once you reach the town. The list of required items is: Artficiers: Thorn Timber Outfitters: Scraggy Hide Blacksmiths: Nickel Ore Note: If you have not done the "The Herbalist's Equipment" quest in Halgarad, you can do this quest to obtain a choice of 3 T2 rares, so you can pick what you need for this quest along the way by doing "The Herbalist's Equipment" quest in Halgarad. Once in Dakhnarg, find Ghostclaw Ramur. Location is -20493, -52313, 18400 just past the crafting area and speak with her. She tells you that she can perform the task once you create a Seer's Amulet for her to use, at which point she gives you the recipe. You can craft the item yourself, or use one crafted by another player. Be forewarned that this recipe is difficult: you now need a high quality item (A quality) to successfully make it, and a bad run of complications could make your rare item go *poof*. Once you have an amulet speak to the seer, who takes the amulet and performs the ritual needed. She tells you of her vision: she sees Kasey Umbertroe in a land filled with sand and sun, ie: probably Qalia. The quest is complete at this point - you DO NOT have to track the halfling down in Qalia itself, at least not for this quest. (As it seems a bit of a cliffhanger, this may or may not be the end of the chain in the long run, but it is the end of this quest.) Return across Thestra to Osmal to collect your hard-earned reward.

Notes

Follows The Captain's Old Sword from Osmal Maradin in Rindol Field; needs 25 Tursh and Rindol Field artisan faction to be offered. More a walk across Thestra than an adventure, wanting one tier-2 rare resource that varies with the crafter's profession. The Seer's Amulet recipe stays after the quest and can be remade at one rare each: ten charges, each a ten-minute +10 to dexterity, awareness, combat awareness and problem solving. The medal's activated effect gives +5 to all attributes; its finishing-skill bonus was raised by Game Update 1 (thrain, Dolia, molden, suzyblue, mondespersistants.com, 03-19/03/2007). The thread spells the captain Umbertoe.

Description as recorded by mmodb

Osmal shakes his head sadly. "I don't know what to do! I can't wait any longer. The Captain needs us. I have to find out what happened to her." The halfling looks at you pleadingly. "Surely you can help. You helped me before! The mayor has offered a reward and a medal to anyone who can find out more." "She was last seen at Renton Keep, but no one has heard form her since she left. Please help me...."
