Walkthrough

You say, 'Hail, Nikko Canti'

Nikko Canti says, 'Oi, you there! Are you the one who's been sneak thieving my fish!? Well come on now was it you or [not]?'

You say, 'not'

Nikko Canti says, 'Bah! And I suppose you [haven`t seen] anyone else around here then? Maybe with an arm full of half cured fish?'

You say, 'haven`t seen'

Nikko Canti says, 'Dagnabbit! This has been happening more and more these days. I can forgive a fish or two taken by a hungry traveler, but my whole stock is missing. Again! How am I supposed to [feed] my family when cured fish are pilfered away right before they are ready?'

You say, 'feed'

Nikko Canti says, 'Would you be willing to [help] me restock my catch so that my family may eat?'

You say, 'help'

You have been assigned the task 'Something Fishy'.

Nikko Canti says, 'That's so kind of you! Here I have an old fishing pole you can use, and some bait!'

You receive Rickety Fishing Pole

You receive 20 Fishing Bait

Fish in the nearby lake until you've caught 3 Fresh Fish, then give them to Nikko.

You offered 3 Fresh Fish to Nikko Canti. Your task 'Something Fishy' has been updated.

Nikko Canti says, 'Oh wow, you actually managed to catch something other than a piranha? These piranhas have been becoming a huge nuisance, eating the fish I've hooked, snapping my lines, and, well, eating up the actually edible fish. I even got bit by one yesterday! I don't think we`re going to have any luck reducing the piranha population through fishing alone. You seem pretty competent and skilled. is there anything you can do to quell their numbers?'

Kill 2 A large piranha in the river just south of the lake and return to Nikko

You say, 'Hail, Nikko Canti'

Nikko Canti says, 'Great, thanks for that, however while you were gone I reeled in something awful. I cut my line before I could get it all the way to shore, but it looked like some kind zombie fish! If the Blight thats been spreading across this land has corrupted the river and lake then we are all in serious danger! The ghosts and animated skeletons are awful, yes. But infection of the waterway could mean the loss of the only remaining clean food source in the area. We need to gather proof and validate what I saw immediately!'

Kill a ghost gill in the lake for Defiled Fish Scales and give them to Nikko

You offered 1 Defiled Fish Scales to Nikko Canti.

Nikko Canti recoils in horror from the corrupted fish scales you hand him. Oh no, this is bad. This is very bad! We need to get help. I know an alchemist who may be able to help stop this foulness. Dorian is no friend of this blight and its possible he can leverage his alchemical arts to help. He has been spending his time at the tradespersons building with the foreign alchemy merchants. Bring him these disgusting scales to him and maybe he will have a solution.

Your task 'Something Fishy' has been updated.

You receive Defiled Fish Scales

You have been assigned the task 'Alchemical Solution'.

Your faction standing with Nerius Trade Association has been adjusted by 10.

You gain experience!!

Notes

You are required to fish up the fish during the quest to get credit.
If you already have the defiled scales, you can trade them with Nikko to get credit for killing the ghost gill and immediately trade them again

-After finishing [[What's going on here]], [[Nikko Canti]] sends you back to [[Dorian G`Wyn]] in [[Lake Nerius]].
+You say, 'Hail, Nikko Canti'
-You say, 'who'
+: Nikko Canti says, 'Oi, you there! Are you the one who's been sneak thieving my fish!? Well come on now was it you or [not]?'
-: Dorian G`Wyn says, 'Ah, I hoped to avoid endangering you with that knowledge. I am who I claim to be in most regards. I am not, however, a human. I am an Elf. a [Half Dark Elf].` He looks about to ensure no one is watching and unclasps a bracelet he is wearing. As soon as the clasp is undone, Dorian shimmers for the briefest moment and looking at you is a different face, a new face. Clearly elven but cerulean in color, and distinct from the Elves you're familiar with.'
+You say, 'not'
-You say, 'Half Dark Elf'
+: Nikko Canti says, 'Bah! And I suppose you [haven`t seen] anyone else around here then? Maybe with an arm full of half cured fish?'
-: Dorian G`Wyn says, 'Don`t be alarmed. It`s the same me.` He quickly snaps his bracelet back on and again Human, he checks to see if anyone was looking. `My people are in hiding. We`ve always been in hiding. The world will not accept us and so we stay hidden. However since the tumult within Castle Nektropos, our safety has been [jeopardized].'
+You say, 'haven`t seen'
-You say, 'jeopardized'
+: Nikko Canti says, 'Dagnabbit! This has been happening more and more these days. I can forgive a fish or two taken by a hungry traveler, but my whole stock is missing. Again! How am I supposed to [feed] my family when cured fish are pilfered away right before they are ready?'
-: Dorian G`Wyn says, 'Activity within the castle has been different recently. And bizarre: Abnormal visitors, screams echo the halls at all hours, errant magical commotion causing chaos, the smell of death and rot. Our spies on the staff claim there are offal piles inside the castle. They say carts of corpses have been coming into the castle, and that same cart driver left with his cart empty. One claimed he saw some multi-limbed rotting horror shamble past a door way. Something is amiss in Nektropos, and I fear it involves dark magics. Whatever it is, it endangers my people's [hidden home] and something must be done to [alleviate the threat].'
+You say, 'feed'
-You say, 'alleviate the threat'
+: Nikko Canti says, 'Would you be willing to [help] me restock my catch so that my family may eat?'
-'''Your task 'Call for Aid' has been updated.'''
-: Dorian G`Wyn says, 'I have been working franticly to find a way to end these threats. The tricky part is doing so while still keeping my people's existence hidden from the world that will never accept us. I tried alchemy, but my experiments including the most recent ones keep failing to prove effective. And so I've been quietly searching for the right contacts to petition for aid. With help from the nearby cities, I`m certain we could put an end to the undead and sort out whatever is happening behind the castle`s closed gates. You're involved now, and you would forever be an ally if you can get these requests for aid into the hands of those who may be able to field aid with discretion!'
+You say, 'help'
-'''You receive [[Plea to Freeport]].'''

-Hand [[Plea to Freeport]] to [[Sir Mollin]] in [[North Freeport]]:
+Fish in the nearby lake until you've caught 3 [[Fresh Fish]], then give them to Nikko.
-: Sir Mollin says, 'Hah. We've no capacity nor willingness to go traipsing all over Antonica in search of potential threats. We have our own problems to tackle. Here's an official response for your master. It says: 'no.''

-: Pishtian F`Lok says, 'Hmmm, fulfilling this request seems like it would be extremely costly. I'll give you an estimate on mobilizing some forces, but only because our brother has set up shop out that way.'

We will send you Solusek's blessing and with it you will surely overcome the obstacle you face. The power to do so will please the Burning Prince and he will smile upon your prowess.'
