Starting out

Talking to Commander Veldaban

Commander Veldaban: [player name]! Have you heard?
Player: You mean, half the world has suddenly become a farmer?
Commander Veldaban: No, not that. It's the Red Axe!
Player: What have those grumpy little guys done now?
Commander Veldaban: They've left the city! They were already boycotting the trade floor, but now they've completely left the city.
Player: Oh dear, is that serious?
Commander Veldaban: It's never happened before! At the moment it's unclear yet if they've left the Consortium as well. The directors are in turmoil!
Player: So what happens now?
Commander Veldaban: Well... I may require your services again. Are you interested in hearing more?
Select an Option
Very interested!
- Player: Very interested!
- Commander Veldaban: We need some more information about what the Red Axe is up to.
- Player: Are you asking me to... spy on them? Isn't that treason?
- Commander Veldaban: The other directors of the Consortium don't think so and are likely to expel the Red Axe completely anyway.
- Player: So where would you like me to go?
- Commander Veldaban: That's the problem. We don't know where they moved their headquarters to. But we may have one lead...
- Player: Yes?
- Commander Veldaban: There is a dwarf, all the way to the northeast in Keldagrim-East. He talks about kebabs a lot. Don't suppose you've met him?
- Select an Option
- Yes.
  - Player: Yes, I do believe I have. Smashed glasses, wrecked house? Poor personal hygiene standards? Brother or cousin to that other drunken dwarf?
  - Commander Veldaban: That's him, poor fellow. He didn't always used to be like that.
- No.
  - Player: No, I don't believe so.
  - Commander Veldaban: He lives in his brother's house.
  - Commander Veldaban: Or was it his cousin?
  - Commander Veldaban: In any case, he's a bit of a drunk these days. Well, when I say a bit, he's actually smashed all the time.
- Commander Veldaban: But he seems to know something about the Red Axe for some odd reason. He speaks of them sometimes in one of his many rants.
- Commander Veldaban: Problem is, no one believes him. Everyone thinks he's completely mad. And perhaps they're right.
- Commander Veldaban: But if he does indeed know something about the Red Axe or where their headquarters may be, we need to find out.
- Commander Veldaban: What do you say then, [player name]? Do you want to help the Black Guard with this?
- Start the Forgettable Tale... quest?
- Yes.
  - Player: Sounds like just the job for me!
  - Commander Veldaban: Excellent, good luck to you in your quest! May Guthix protect you!
  - A cutscene plays, showing the statue from The Giant Dwarf. "Rise of the Red Axe, Part II, Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf" appears on the screen, and the camera pans to the drunken dwarf's house. The player ends up in front of the house after the cutscene.
  - Player: Well, here I am... at the drunken dwarf's relative's residence, who is also drunken. I wonder what drunken tales he can tell me.
  - (End of dialogue)
- No.
  - Player: No, I try to stay away from drunken dwarves.
  - Player: Although I wish they would try to stay away from me too...
  - Commander Veldaban: Very well. Come back when you change your mind.
  - (End of dialogue)
Some other time, perhaps.
- Player: Some other time, perhaps.
- Commander Veldaban: Very well.
- (End of dialogue)

Player: Say, you know a lot about beer, right?
Gauss: A fair bit if I say so myself, yes. What do you want to know?
Player: Do you know anything about Kelda stout?

Player: I need some help.
Rind the gardener: Yes, [player name]? What can a humble gardener like myself help you with?
Player: I have four Kelda seeds here, but need some advice on growing them.
Rind the gardener: Marvelous, those seeds are quite rare don't you know!
Rind the gardener: First of all, you must remember that these seeds only grow underground. Sunlight is harmful to them, for some strange reason.
Rind the gardener: There is a patch in the palace garden that you're more than welcome to use.
Player: Thanks! Is there anything else I need to know?
Rind the gardener: Just take care of the weed in the patch and plant your seeds. They'll grow into hops very quickly, if you're lucky. Kelda seeds have a remarkably fast grow rate.
Player: Thank you! Your advice is much appreciated!
(End of dialogue)

Talking to Rind again

Player: I need some help.
Rind the gardener: Yes, [player name]? What can a humble gardener like myself help you with?

Player: Do I have to wait here all this time then?
Rind the gardener: Yes and no. Yes, you do have to wait, but no, you don't have to stay here. You can help out people in the city, for instance, there's always someone who needs help with an urgent job.
Player: You mean the mining companies? I did jobs for them, they're not very profitable.
Rind the gardener: No no, just people like shopkeepers and such, they're quite willing to teach you things in exchange for the jobs as well.
Rind the gardener: But here, tell you what, I'll give you some seeds if you can deliver this letter to a friend in Falador.
Player: Do I have to do that? I just want to grow my hops and get on with my quest for Veldaban.
Rind the gardener: Oh no, you don't have to do it all, I just thought you wanted something to do while you were waiting.

Alright, I'll deliver that letter for you.

Player: Hello there. Are you Elstan?
Elstan: Why yes, I am. Have I become that well known?
Player: Well, I've got a letter here from your friend in Keldagrim.
Elstan: Ah, you mean Rind? Great to hear from the little fellow again. Can I see it please?
Player: Of course.
(Player gives Letter (Forgettable Tale...).)

Player: I need some help.

Rind the gardener: Wonderful, that's just wonderful! Here, have these two seeds as a reward. They may not be Kelda hop seeds, but you should be able to grow a decent amount of herbs with them.
(Player receives two marrentill seeds.)
(End of dialogue)

Talking to Rind after finishing or refusing his letter delivery

Rind the gardener: Haha, it doesn't quite work like that, I'm afraid!
Rind the gardener: You will have to bring your hops to a brewery.
Player: Where's the nearest brewery then?
Rind the gardener: Oh, there's one in Keldagrim-East, upstairs in the Laughing Miner. They brew their own beer they do.
Player: How does it work though?
Rind the gardener: I'm sure someone there will be able to help you out, it's not my specialty you see.

- Cart conductor: Why, that part of the mines hasn't been used in a long time. I don't rightly know what you would find behind there.
- Player: I need to go through there. Can you open up the tunnel for me?
- Cart conductor: I don't have the authority to do that kind of thing.
- Player: Then who do I talk to? I really need to get in.
- Cart conductor: I don't know. Perhaps you have an influential friend?

Talking to Veldaban after speaking to the cart conductor

Commander Veldaban: How goes the search for the Red Axe?
Player: I think I may have a good lead now!
Player: But I need some boarding removed, I need to go through some disused mine cart tunnels.
Commander Veldaban: I see... I cannot make that decision, I'm afraid. Speak to the director of [company name], he may be able to help you.
Player: Ah yes, I'm a member now, they must be able to help!
(End of dialogue)

Talking to the company director

[company name] Director: Hello [player name]! Have you seen the statue? It looks beautiful! It's a pity it's been overshadowed by the departure of the Red Axe.
Select an Option
(Non-quest dialogue) It's an honour to meet you!
(Non-quest dialogue) Do you have any more tasks for me?
Can you help me with a boarded up tunnel?
- Player: Can you help me with a boarded up tunnel?
- [company name] Director: Ah, and what would be lurking behind this particular tunnel?
- Player: I think it leads to something that might be related to the Red Axe.
- [company name] Director: The Red Axe!
- [company name] Director: This is indeed an important issue. They've gone too far this time. A major company willingly leaving the Consortium has never happened before.
- Player: Can you help me get the boarding removed then?
- [company name] Director: Forthwith, [player name], forthwith! I'll order the removal at once!
- Player: Thanks! I'll investigate the tunnel immediately!
- (End of dialogue)
(Non-quest dialogue) Thank you for your time.

Room 1

Entering the tunnel

Camera pans across the railroad.
Player: I'm deep underground now, but how am I supposed to get across here?
(End of dialogue)

Returning to Keldagrim on the cart

Return to Keldagrim?
Yes.
No.

Attempting to control the dwarven machinery without any square stones

You look at the strange machinery and feel as if you're missing something... perhaps something to put into those strange holes in the stone slab?

Riding the cart before the junction is switched

Player: This junction is blocked. I'd better go back to the start and find some way to make it go left or right.
(End of dialogue)

Searching the first box

You find a green stone and a yellow stone in the storage box. You wonder what you can use these for...

Searching a box again

There is nothing more inside this box.

Attempting to drop a square stone

You'd better hang on to this, it looks important.

Searching the second box

You search the box and find another stone with a green marking on it. Perhaps you should take the cart back to the start and see what you can do with it?

Riding the cart back to the start

You take the minecart back to the start point.

Searching the third box

You search the box and find another stone with a yellow marking on it.

Riding the cart to a dead end

Player: I've come to a dead end. I'd better get back to the start.
(End of dialogue)

Room 2

Listening in on the Red Axe

Red Axe Henchman: What's the new plan?
Ogre shaman: Me dead human!
Red Axe Director: No, not yet. He may still prove useful to us.
Red Axe Henchman: My axe on his head would be more useful!
Red Axe Director: Forget about the human and the statue for now. Our experiments are more important.
Red Axe Henchman: We are nearly ready with our next test.
Ogre shaman: More little fire lookers?
Red Axe Director: This time they'll survive, I hope.
Red Axe Henchman: Our slaves are too weak, it will never work.
Red Axe Director: Yes, things would have been so much easier with the statue.
Red Axe Henchman: It was a great plan! Sabotaging the base of the statue and bribing that boatman to crash into it!
Red Axe Director: And we would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that pesky human.
Player: Pesky human, huh? Well, I think I have enough info now. I'd better explore the rest of these mines.

Attempting to enter the next room before the dialogue is finished

Player: I should stay and listen for a bit longer...

(End of dialogue)

Overhead text when listening in on the Red Axe

Blah blah...
Yak yak...
Yadda yadda...

Camera pans across the railroad.

The box turns out to be completely empty. And after all that effort to get here!

Room 4

Attempting to enter the next room without inspecting everything

Player: I should explore this room fully before moving on. I should be able to find out a little bit more.
(End of dialogue)

Searching the crate with administrative info

Player: Statistical data, salary structures, shopping lists... no, I don't think there's anything interesting here.
(End of dialogue)

Searching the crate with the boatman's letter

You find a copy of a letter, addressed to the boatman that brought you to Keldagrim a while back.

I am writing to advise you that our secret preparations to the statue have been completed. All you need to do now is hit it with your boat. Take some gullible human along when you do, the mines are crawling with them these days. The human will surely get the major blame.
After this, the statue is going to be rebuilt in the image of our great director. You need not concern yourself with the how and why, but rest assured you will be compensated greatly.
Regards,
Colonel Grimsson of the Red Axe

Searching the third crate

You find something that seems to shed some light on what happened to the drunken dwarf in Keldagrim. You should read it carefully before moving on.

Report on Intruder
We found a dwarf wandering in our mines. We weren't sure if he was a spy or simply an explorer, but we couldn't take any risks. We decided to send him back with his memory wiped, rather than put him to use as one of our test subjects. We can't afford having to explain another mysterious disappearance at this point. Additionally, we added something to the spell that would make him hungry for kebabs and thirsty for beer, so that whatever he can remember will be dismissed as the ravings of a drunken fool. Grunsh did a good job, he seems to be fitting in well. Nevertheless, the spell seems to have been a little bit too strong, the subject is unlikely to recover from his condition. His obsession with kebabs is a bit too extreme. Will tell Grunsh to adjust his spell next time.

Searching the bookcase

You find an interesting book that seems to contain a lot of data about Red Axe employees. You should read it fully before continuing.

Red Axe Employee Records

Hreidmar, director of the Red Axe (employee #1)
Information classified.

Grimsson, the butcher of Barendir (employee #4297)
Grimsson was once a soldier in the dwarven army and quickly made his way up the ranks, up to colonel. He served with the Black Guard at Ice Mountain and in Kandarin. He was present at the battle of Barendir when he fought against an army of trolls. It was here that he got his nickname, the Butcher of Barendir, as he mercilessly killed the trolls even as they retreated in defeat. Here, also, he got his distinctive scar running across his forehead in a hand-to-hand battle with a particularly ferocious troll. After this battle Grimsson became more and more aggressive, even to his fellow dwarves. Following a particularly vicious attack on a comrade, he was dismissed from the Black Guard. Soon after, he was recruited by the Red Axe. Here he's learned to control his rage and become even stronger. By now, he has become the right hand dwarf of the director. While he holds no official rank, he is still often affectionately referred to as 'The Colonel'.

Grunsh, Ogre Shaman (employee #38262)
Found lost and near death in the ice cold mountains above Keldagrim, Grunsh was nearly mistaken for a troll at first. Taken in by the Red Axe and nursed back to health, it turned out that he was in fact a powerful ogre shaman. Intelligent by ogre standards, and steadfastly loyal to his rescuers, he has taken up a prominent position in the ranks of the Red Axe. This is primarily due to the fact that since dwarves cannot use magic, they must rely on other races as spellcasters. Grunsh fits the bill perfectly.

Searching the bookcase again

You take the Red Axe Employee Records book from its shelf again.

Colonel Grimsson: The test subjects are still alive, director. They will suffice as soldiers.
Red Axe Director: Excellent! We are improving. Laneel!

Post-quest

Talking to Veldaban

Commander Veldaban: What happened, [player name], did you finish your assignment?
Player: I think... I think I must have. It's so hard to remember.
Commander Veldaban: Please, try to!
Player: I have this terrible headache.
Player: I don't know, I think something terrible has happened, but everyone seems to think I'm an idiot for some reason...
Commander Veldaban: Don't worry, [player name], I believe you. You must have been put under a spell of some sort to make you forget.
Commander Veldaban: I suppose we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
