Missions & Quests

My brother Drupa and I thought that finding the keys to Kazham would be a rather easy task. We were sorely mistaken.

He is a Black Mage (BLM), level 24 and I am a White Mage (WHM), level 25. Between the two of us, we knew we could beat the beastmen who carry the keys. Our strength was the one thing we weren't worried about. We decided to first face the Orcs in Fort Ghelsba.

In Fort Ghelsba, the key carriers we targeted were Orcish Cursemakers, Orcish Fighters, and Orcish Serjeants. They weren't so hard to take on but other weaker Orcs had a tendency to be a little aggressive and try to take us on to. They were easy prey but they wasted our valuable time and resources. After killing 10 or so Cursemakers and not finding a single key, I started to shout in frustration.

My shouts were heard by a fellow adventurer. A level 40 Thief (THF). He decided to help us and said we'd have an easier time in Yughott Grotto. He led they way and began killing Orcs left and right. It took a long time but eventually we got two keys (one for Drupa and one for me). We thanked the Thief who helped us (it is much easier finding items with a Thief in your group) and left Yughott Grotto headed for Bastok and the Palborough Mines.

This time we were after Brass Quadavs, Copper Quadavs, and Old Quadavs. We started looking for these Quadav but, not knowing Palborough Mines too well, we had trouble finding them. I yelled out again and got three responses. Two of the adventurers who answered my call decided to help us. They were down in the mines mining and I guess they had grown bored of the tedious work. It took a while even with the help, but eventually we got the two keys we needed. Drupa and I headed next to Giddeus near Windurst.

In Giddeus, we found an adventurer who was waiting for a party so he could kill a Notorious Monster and gain some pieces of Artifact Armor. He agreed to help us while he waited. After a while, a few of his friends showed up and they joined us too. Like in Fort Ghelsba, these adventurers were much higher level than Drupa and I and they made quick work of the Yagudo Priests, Theologists, and Votaries we were after. It took forever still but finally, Drupa and I had gotten the keys we needed. After thanking our new friends we left Giddeus.

We returned to Jeuno, weary but happy, and handed the hard-earned keys over to Guddal. He awarded us both with Kazham Airship Passes and Drupa and I went into our rented Mog Houses and collapsed from exhaustion.

I dreamt that night of Kazham. I have never seen it. Visions of a dense jungle ran through my mind all night - I am eager to see if my dreams were accurate.
