Story: 

Story 31                    Dispelling the Darkness            Told By Taniwha

~ Most of a Drow wandered in here the other day, I say "most of" because large ~
~ bits of him were missing. Left ear, left arm from the elbow down and he had ~
~ a bad limp. He wasn't paying much attention to the barmaids either, but then ~
~~~~~~~~~ being a Mage there could have been other reasons for that.  ~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~ Even the orcs felt sort of sorry for this guy, he looked like he'd been part ~
~ disintegrated.  After a few drinks, everyone mellowed out figuring he was no ~
~ real threat.  An elf mage started to get a bit niggly later though, put up ~
~~ mirrors and starting making nasty jokes. The Drow just smiled, you know, ~~
~ that nasty smile they seem to learn as kids and the elfs mirrors just went. ~
~ I mean like, not there. You could see every spell caster in the place sit up ~
~ and cast a quick detect magic. That poor elf was totally stripped of magic. ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Helluva trick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~ That beat up Drow got a lot more respect after that. All he'd  ~~~~~~~
~~~~~ say about it was that killing elves was a LOT easier than whacking ~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ beholders. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And he smirked some... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Notes

  • Related to Beholder, but not clear what is needed, i did not get solved upon deathblow
  • He casts 1 spell per eye
  • We dont see damage when we attack him, but every now and then it says "You manage to Strike an eye"
  • As he loses eyes he become easier as he casts fewer spells
  • You get the scroll rewards by killing beholder, but quest doesn't get solved
  • You dont need deathblow to study the scrolls
  • Using wax from The Drifter helps avoiding the stun
