ValHeel Chapter Six

## Asheron's Drunken Stupor (Level 8,000+ Recommended)

Overwhelmed by his inability to hold the love of his life, Empress Kou-an, in his arms again, Asheron gives in to the drink, throwing all caution to the wind, and disregarding his duties to protect the people of ValHeel.

Nalicana has come to Adventurer's Haven, unsure of where Asheron went, but worried enough to seek help. Speak to Nalicana. She will direct you to speak with Burt the Bartender in the Holtburg Tavern.

Burt the Bartender will explain Asheron's mood, and will say he hasn't seem him for a bit, however, he did mention wanting to see his buddy Ulgrim in Ayan. He will hand you a beer for the road. Hang on to it for Asheron.

In Ayan, you see Asheron standing next to Ulgrim. You try to speak with him, but he only begs for money. Tell him you will help. He will ask for a beer, so hand him the one Burt gave you. He will then tell you a story about how he bullied some Drudges near the Drudge Fort in Cragstone. Do not take the Cragstone portal as the town is overrun. You will need to find another way.

You must speak with Hartford on the road near the Drudge Fort at 24.2N, 46.6E. He will inform you that Asheron actually terrorized the drudges in the Drudge Fort. In order to protect themselves, drudges were called in to keep them safe. Out of a rage, they decided to overtake Cragstone. You will need to kill 100 Drudges in Cragstone, then speak with Hartford again. Once you do that, Hartford will hand you a Drudge Lush Tincture to give to Asheron.

Go back to Ayan and give the Tincture to Asheron. He will come out of his drunken stupor, and apologize for his actions. He will hand you Asheron's Dry Martini. When you double click the martini, it will give you Drunk Goggles. These must be worn in your Blue Aetheria slot. It lasts for 10 minutes, and gives +100% to XP gain. You can have a martini once every four hours.

In order to get more Asheron's Dry Martinis, you can visit Rosie's Bar at 20.5N, 60.7E outside of Eastham. It will cost you an AshCoin L Note (5,000) and you can't get them unless you have completed this quest.

## Cont'd...

Something has seemed off since Asheron has returned to his place of command over Dereth. The skies have seemed darker, and air colder. You decide to speak with Nalicana at Adventurer's Haven again.

```
"Something horrible has happened... We have found that in his drunken stupor, while he was ravaging the drudges at the drudge fort, he didn't actually teleport a drudge 300 feet into the air."

```

```
"In his attempt to, what he thought was mess with the drudges, he actually casted a forbidden spell."

```

```
"He uttered the ancient words Roiga Quazael. This spell draws its energy from your core..."

```

```
"It takes a part of you, and sends a bolt faster than the eye can see, ripping through the fabric of space and time!"

```

```
"It fractures time and mixes our reality with that of another time line; a much darker timeline."

```

```
"Dimensional Fractures are opening around Dereth around main towns. If you run across you, you must close it!"

```

```
"This is not a task for the weak, or even the strong... You will need a well trained fellowship."

```

```
"Go, friend! Find your team and save Dereth from the darkness that lies in wait!"

```

```
"For every Fracture that you close, speak to the Fracture Arbiter in Rithwic. He will reward you for your knightship."
