Ray's Mission 1: The Fafnar's Fire Now go to Raymond Striker and ask for a new mission. He will explain you that the pirates have some deals with the alchemist Sandra, in Edron. They are buying a dangerous substance there called Fafnar's Fire. Raymond sends you to talk with her pretending to be the dealer sent by the pirates. Go and tell her: "Hello / Fafnar's Fire / Yes / Your continued existence is payment enough". By doing this, Sandra will be enraged and will cut any deals with pirates. Report back to Raymond Striker

After this you can get acess to Nargor, all you got to do is accept one of the following missions that take place there, and Sebastian will bring you there.

Tortoise Egg from Nargor Mission Ask Duncan for a mission. This time he wants you to rescue some Tortoise Eggs from the Pirates Base on Nargor. Go to Nargor and follow this map:



In the way you will face some Pirate Marauders, Pirate Cutthroats and Smugglers. Go down and go through the door, kill the Thornback Tortoise here and open the tortoise's nest. Now report to Duncan and give him his Tortoise Egg from Nargor.

Ray's Mission 2: Sabotage Now it's time to complete Raymond Striker's second sabotage mission. Go and ask him for a new mission. Striker will ask you to travel Nargor, where he wants you to sabotage an important Catapult with a Fire Bug. Talk to Sebastian and ask him to take you to Nargor. The following map shows clearly how to get to the catapult:



You will meet [Pirate Marauder|Pirate Marauders]], Pirate Cutthroats and Smugglers on the way. Use your Fire Bug on the top left corner of the catapult and you will see a small explosion. Your job here is done and you should head back to Raymond Striker.

Ray's Mission 3: Spy Mission Raymond Striker is pleased, so pleased that he finds you trustworthy enough to give you a vital mission. He even offers you your own ship to complete the task.

You are instructed to infiltrate the tavern on Nargor, and study 3 maps in which the pirates on Nargor have their raid plans laid out. But, to infiltrate their tavern you will need your Pirate Set.

Remember to grab all the Hooks, Eye Patches, and Peg Legs as you need them for one of the addons. Once you have finally got the set, head to the tavern which is located inside the mountain. Follow the image above and go up the stairs marked at the bottom right side of it.

On the first floor it's recommend to use Levitate on the wall just east of the stairs you just came from, or using some boxes that you can find underground.



On the second floor, you will face a Pirate Buccaneer and 2 or 3 Pirate Cutthroat. You can just bypass them, but beware lots of pirates on the upper floor, including Corsairs.

On the third floor use some GFBs and go west to meet Vulterose.



Bring down the pirates in red hp to make them running away. So, if you don't have players to block the spawn, that can save you many runes and potions from waste, because the pirates cannot respawn alive.
 * A good advice for the tavern and vultutenose's floor :



Vulturenose is just outside the tavern. Speak to him while wearing the pirate set. Say "enter" he will let you trough the door.

Once you head up the stairs, chances are you will be surrounded by pirates. Avoid killing them, rather force them to run away, as you will have to return here twice more in a short period of time before completeing the quest. The bar is a quite large room, there are 3 items that look like treasure maps on 3 different tables, these are the plans you are after. Just use them (Ctrl + Click) and you will study them. Once you have studied all of the maps, return to Meriana.

Raymond Striker has one more mission for you involving the tavern. You no longer need your pirate set so either sell it for more runes; or hold onto it for another character. Raymond Striker has been informed that the pirates of Nargor have placed a bounty on his head. Speak to Raymond Striker and ask him for a mission, and he will request that you head back to the tavern and speak to it's proprieter, Klaus. There you are to find out what you have to bring to the pirates to prove you have killed Raymond Striker. You find out you need none other then his most treasured pillow, so head on back to Meriana.

After informing Raymond Striker that he must part with his pillow, you receive Raymond Striker's Lucky Pillow in which you are to make one last trip to Nargor in which you are to deliver the pillow to the tavern's keeper. The Pirates throw a party, you are their hero because they seem to think you killed their arch-enemy. Be sure to kill those few pirates you left running in case they drop some more of the Pirate Set which is a big money maker, and head back to Meriana.

Raymond Striker is impressed, but sadly he has no ships in his fleet, instead he gives you a Model Ship. You receive the ship right away.

Now you can follow the Pirate Outfits Quest for the outfit and addons.

Since I don't want him to get into trouble for receiving a letter from a pirate I ask you to deliver it personally. ... Morgan: Of course it's a long journey but you asked for it.

I need you to travel to Edron and pretend to the alchemist Sandra that you are the one whom the other pirates sent to get the fire ... Raymond Striker: When she asks for a payment, tell her 'Your continued existence is payment enough'. That should enrage any member of the Edron academy enough to refuse any further deals with the pirates. player: bye Raymond Striker : May there always be wind in your sails.

Sandra in Edron
player: hi Sandra: Heloo player. player: Fafnar Fire Sandra : Pssht, not that loud. So they have sent you to get... the stuff? player: yes Sandra: Finally.

I will have no further dealings with the likes of you!

Raymond Striker (3rd meeting)
player: hi Raymond Striker: Be greeted. player: mission Raymond Striker: I think that means 'mission accomplished'. Hehe. I guess that will put an end to their efforts to buy any alchemical substance from Edron. player: mission Raymond Striker: The mission on which I will send you is vital to our cause. It is a sabotage mission. Nargor is guarded by several heavy catapults. ... Raymond Striker: I need you to sabotage the most dangerous of those catapults which can be found right in their harbour, aiming at ships passing by the entrance. ... Raymond Striker: Get a fire bug - you can buy them in Liberty Bay - and set this catapult on fire. ... Raymond Striker: Make sure to use the bug on the left part of the catapult where its lever is. That is where it's most vulnerable. ... Raymond Striker: If you see a short explosion, you will know that it worked. I will tell Sebastian to bring you to Nargor, but beware. ... Raymond Striker: Of course, he can't drop you off directly in the pirate's base. However, we have discovered a secret way into the Howling Grotto. ... Raymond Striker: Try to make your way through the caves of Nargor to reach their harbour. This is where you will find the catapult in question. player: mission Raymond Striker: Sail with Sebastian to Nargor and make your way to the pirate's harbour. Once arrived there, find the catapult and use a fire bug on the left part. ... Raymond Striker: A small explosion will show you that you have succeeded. Afterwards, report to me about your mission. Good luck! player: bye Duncan: Good bye.

Duncan(second meeting)
After 3rd meeting of Raymond striker player: hi Duncan: Hi, come closer. Have a look at my wares. player: mission Duncan: You did some impressive things. I think people here start considering you as one of us. But these are dire times and everyone of us is expected to give his best and even exceed himself. Do you think you can handle that? player: yes Duncan: I am glad to hear this. Please listen. The pirates on Nargor are breeding tortoises. They think eating tortoises makes a hard man even harder. ... Duncan: However I am quite fond of tortoises and can't stand the thought of them being eaten. So I convinced Captain Striker that I can train them to help us. As a substitute for rafts and such ... Duncan: All I need is one tortoise egg from Nargor. This is the opportunity to save a tortoise from a gruesome fate! ... Duncan: I will ask Sebastian to bring you there. Travel to Nargor, find their tortoise eggs and bring me at least one of them. player: bye Duncan: Good bye.

Try to enter their tavern, which meansthat you have to get past the guard. ... Raymond Striker: You will probably have to deceive him somehow, so that he thinks you are one of them. ... Raymond Striker: In the tavern, the pirates feel safe and plan their next strikes. Study ALL of their maps and plans lying around ... Raymond Striker: Afterwards, return here and report to me about your mission. Player : bye Raymond Striker: May there always be wind in your sails.
