Grand Tour

The Grand Tour is a quest available in Pre-Alpha, designed to test the quest system as well as get players to travel between the various locations in the game.

Information about the Grand Tour in previous versions is available on the History page.

Release 19 Grand Tour
To begin the Grand Tour, speak with the Tour Guide, who can be found near the starting area in Soltown.


 * "Good day, avatar! I regret to inform you the Grand Tour has been cancelled." 

Asking why it was cancelled will give you the quest.


 * ''"Unfortunately, all our tour guide automations have been kidnapped. It is really most peculiar. They were last seen being held prisoner by a group of kobolds in Quel, in the southwest of Novia. If you have a chance, could you look into what has happened? Thank you, avatar!


 * I wrote of this in my journal.

Additional responses by the Tour Guide:

Head to the Kobold Expeditionary Camp and speak with Commander Kormag.


 * "Hrmph. I will speak. I am sure you are here about our captives." 

Ask about the captives, and he will reply:


 * "Yes, we took your robots prisoner. You humans send them everywhere and then case after them. We see they are important to you. Now we have them. We will have them until you return what is ours." 

Agree to return what is theirs, and he will update your quest.


 * "H'RRRRR'K! A powerful kobold weapon was stolen from our armory! Humans cannot use it, only kobolds. But humans steal it anyway because humans have no honor and are thieves. Humans even steak from humans! HRR'RRK! You find this weapon. I do not know where it is. YOU FIND IT. You return this weapon. Then we will leave and let our prisoners go home. HRRR'RRK! Those are the terms of Kormag, leader of this expedition. I speak for Korabar! I speak for kobolds! You go now. Find weapon. Return weapon." 


 * I wrote of this in my journal.

Additional responses by Commander Kormag:

Head down to the prisoners and speak to the human named Ned.


 * "Finally, someone who isn't a kobold threatening to kill me." 

Ask him about the threats, and he will let you know what you need.


 * "They keep asking me about their stupid weapon. It's right where my boys left it, in the Etceter Crag Mines... I keep telling them... but they won't listen! They say everything I say is a lie because I'm a human, but then why do they keep asking me questions? It doesn't make any sense." 


 * I wrote of this in my journal.

Additional responses by Ned:

Head to the Etceter Crag Mines, and on the table just within you will find the stolen Nonfunctional Kobold Air Cannon (and some handy about it). Take it, return to Commander Kormag, and tell him you have his weapon.


 * "SK'RRRRK! Good human. I take that now. You might harm yourself. Here is a reward for you. It is a mask that makes you look not hideous. You will still stand bad and talk funny but you at least will not be so ugly. HR'RRRK! Prisoners can go now. We can go now. You go. Go." 
 * A reward has been added to your account!
 * I wrote of this in my journal.
 * Item added to your inventory!

The steps needed for the quest can be found in the following locations:

Travel from Soltown to Kobold is described here:

Reward
Players who complete the Grand Tour are flagged to receive a Kobold Commander Mask.

Trivia

 * The clockwork guides captured by the kobolds are malfunctioning, but asking them where the weapon is will give you the correct clue:  "ERROR in interrogation/response/Etceter Crag Mines!"
 * Asking the guides their names results in an error, and you learn the primary designation for each. The Spectral Mines Tour Guide is TSE-1221, the Necropolis Barrens Tour Guide is SLT-1221, the Grunvald Barrens Tour Guide is SFT-1221, and the Perennial Trail Tour Guide is SMT-2017.  "EXCEPTION: primary designation SMT-2017 reporting has thrown errors. Halted."
