Subject: RE: INtresting stuff, Bard related is at the bottom.... .SPOILERS TO SOME OF THESE


Spoilers to some of this.....




















While I was hanging around in the Seafarer's Roost in East Freeport, the
bard there did some performances..... here we go:

Palana Willin says:

"Within my head and inside my brain, I hold the power to set free Ogguk
city. Open up it's doors to all that is pretty. Instead, here I am in a
pile of my own dung smelling quite dingy. Drinking Ogre Swill with which i
am stingy. I may have the key, but the point is quite moot. For you see, I
am nothing more than a dumb, smelly Ogre brute. Thank you, I hope you
enjoyed that one."

Talym Shoonstar says:

"Ha! That's right. Them Ogre's are as thick as they come."

This is a reference to the Bartender's Compendium Quest. The bartender and
an ogre in Ogguk are involved.
----------------------------

Palana Willin says:

"My city is mighty and all shall learn to cower. We are nothing more than
the ultimate power. My city is pure and filled with beautiful charm. I
shall conquer you to save you from harm. My city shall first send it's
guards to back you in times of need. Soon you shall learn to live under my
laws, indeed. So now down when you see me and give out my favorite cheer,
All Hail Antonius Bail, my city is Qeynos and there is nothing to fear.

Taylm Shoonstar says:

"Antonius Bayle is a blithering fool"

**NOTE** Palana refers to Antonius Bail, while Taylm refers to Antonius
Bayle. (Reminds me of princess Lenya/Lenia in Highkeep)

This is a reference to the fact that Antoniu's brother, Kane Bayle is
impersonating Antonius and trying to take over the city. Kane is evil and
aligned with the various corrupt Qeynos guards like Lt Dagarok, ever seen
him with his skeletal pet? Nobody has gotten much farther than this on this
one that I could find. I am currently at dead ends and probably not high
enough level to get any frather at the present.
---------------------------

Ok, in my screenshot I missed some of this one, but I can tell you this, she
is singing about Joffrey Clay.

Palana Willin says:

"...You took the lute. It was my favorite one. A little white lute, and
went off to Qeynos. You took the songs. They were all special ones.
Packed them all up. Off to Qeynos. You killed the plant. Put in a deep
freeze. Dumped it in the trunk. With the rest of the refuse. You, left to
Qeynos. You, left to Qeynos. You, left to Qeynos. You, left to Qeynos.

Biggle Lobokker says:

"That voice must have scared him away."

Talym Shoonstar says:

"Get off the stage lass. Can't ye see he left becase you can't carry a
tune."

No idea, are you certain it refers to Joffrey and not the broken Lute fellow
in Qeynos? Joffrey is learning the flute, but it wouldn't be the first time
a quest item could be given to multiple people. I'll try it next time I go
to Qeynos.
-----------------------

Those are the three songs I heard. I went to see Joffrey Clay in the bard's
guild in Qeynos, but I couldn't get him to say anything about Palina, or a
lute, white, little, or otherwise. Or special songs, a plant, a deep
freeze, etc. But then again, the more minds on that the better.

Something else intresting I talked to Joffrey Clay about was the brought on
by his opening statement after hailing him. He said .... and I am trying to
learn to play the [flute]. So I asked him "What about the flute?" And he
said something like "Do you like my flute, Jusean made it for me", so I say
"Who is Jusean?" and he says (paraphrase) "Jusean is blah blah, his father
was a master instrument crafter, and Jusean has taking up the technique
quite well", so I say "Where is Jusean?" and Joffrey says he is close by.
Well, it turns out Jusean is right outside the door, he is the guy who
gives you the bard report quest. I intergated him about being a instrument
craftsman with no results. I tried giving him instrument parts in various
combinations (there are 2 places in Qeynos to get instrument parts, a
merchant in the guild sells some and the guy on the dock also does, and
they DO NOT sell completely the same parts, either.) to no avail. For
example, I have him an unfinished brass trumpet, Horn mouthpiece, and
Trumpet Vales. Then I gave him the same thing, and some money. Tried Raw
Bamboo and Flute mouthpiece, nothing... etc etc.

We've discussed this a while back. No one has been able to get anywhere on
this and it may be broken. I would sugest giving Justean the broken flute
from the Winds of Karana quest. Perhaps he will fix it and give it back as
a magical flute of some type. About the only lead I have. I have found
that Herman the hermit has such a short life span due to druids camping him
for faction that it may be tough to do. Still the druid's may happily give
up the flute, which likely has little use to them.

Anyway, I hope this sparks some new discussion and maybe something will
come out of this. All I ask from you guys is that you share any info you
find with the other bards who read this site/mailing list.

Sincerely,
Mr. Pink
