Dialog

Nests 1 - 3

Rippeas Mule rends the nest in the Gharu'ndim lands. The beacon crumbles, and with it the will of the olthoi. They flee the surface and in their wake other creatures return to the surface.

The room begins to shudder, the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long. Hurry to the portal!

Zen Tek Ken of FF sends a new report: I manage to find all 3 lvl 1-19 matron nymphs and defeat the nest inside the dungeons they summoned.

A crushing blow from Rippeas Mule rips the olthoi nest in the Aluvian lands apart. The beacon that called the olthoi to these lands has been destroyed. As the chitin warriors are driven from the surface, the former denizens return to claim the land once more.

With a mighty blow, Rippeas Mule shreds the nest in Sho lands. With the beacon that called them to these lands destroyed, the olthoi retreat from the landscape. As the olthoi dig beneath the surface, other creatures find their way back to the surface.
Nest 4

In the southern desert, an Olthoi Matron has stormed through the sands to lay waste to all. Brave adventurers are needed to destroy her.

Insane Killer rips the Olthoi Matron apart with their blow. As the matron crumples to the ground, a portal swirls into being.

The nest in the southern desert of Osteth is destroyed by Bella Raven. The olthoi still cover the landscape.
Nest 5

The central desert of Osteth shudders as an Olthoi Matron breaks through the surface of the land. The horde there is bolstered by her appearance.

In the central desert of Osteth a brave warrior, Vidorian Malkav, destroys the olthoi nest there. The olthoi remain undeterred by the effort of the warriors, and the invasion continues.

The room begins to shake and become unstable. The portal appears to be the safest route from this place.

In the central desert of Osteth a brave warrior, Touch of Julian, destroys the olthoi nest there. The olthoi remain undeterred by the effort of the warriors, and the invasion continues.
Nest 6

The northern desert of Osteth shudders as an Olthoi Matron breaks through the surface of the land. The horde there is bolstered by her appearance.

Nest is shattered by your assault!

Beneath the sands of the northern Osteth desert, Touch of Julian has struck a mighty blow against the Olthoi Horde. As the nest crumples beneath the assault, the olthoi retreat beneath the sand. The invasion is driven away from the majority of central Osteth.

The room begins to shake and become unstable. The portal appears to be the safest route from this place.

In the southern desert, an Olthoi Matron has stormed through the sands to lay waste to all. Brave adventurers are needed to destroy her.
Nests 7

Near Kara an Olthoi Matron stalks the land. Her brood swarms about her and makes their way toward the settlements of the area.

Jarfirak caves the chest of the Matron in. As the olthoi falls, a portal is created into the darkness.

As Ahms Merahk levels a final blow against the nest in the southeastern mountains of Osteth, the cries of a matron can be heard in the vicinity of Crater Village. Beneath Kara, there are sounds of a swarm scurrying beneath the surface.
Nests 8

Dead-eye De'Marco carves the nest in the northern mountains open. As the foul gas and liquid of the nest spill to the cave floor, the sound of olthoi thundering beneath the caverns grows louder. Reports of another matron stalking the southern land bridge require immediate response!

The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long. Hurry to the portal!
Nests 9

Quazar'The Brave' smashes the carapace of the Olthoi Matron inward, as she crumples to a heap, a portal beckons you toward the nest beyond.

The nest folds in upon itself crushed by the relentless pounding of El Paso. Gunther Danby reports hearing a high pitched squeal coming from north of Danby's outpost. The sound of olthoi thundering beneath the surface of northern and southern Osteth grows louder, as though the olthoi are scrambling to rebuild their nests. The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long. Hurry to the portal!

Nests 10

While brave warriors fought, new reports came in about previously defeated nests being rebuilt!

The Olthoi have rebuilt their nests in northern and southern Osteth. The Matrons that once guarded the nests dig deep beneath the world, until they are needed to call the olthoi back into action.

Near Kara an Olthoi Matron stalks the land. Her brood swarms about her and makes their way toward the settlements of the area.

As the Olthoi Matron falls under Dariiua's blows, a portal opens into darkness.

The nest in the northern forest shudders and collapses under Orinoco's assault. A tumerok voice is carried on the wind saying, "Niarltah! Wharu comes like a black tide and sweeps us off the land!" Dryreach has been overrun by a swarm led by an Olthoi Matron.
The tumerok forces fall outside the gates and the residents cower in fear.

The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long. Hurry to the portal!
Nests 11

Death comes swiftly to the Olthoi Matron. Kaelic has struck the fatal blow and as all rejoice, a portal to darkness is formed.

A thunderous blow splits the nest beneath Dryreach apart. Zeral stands atop the ruined mass and cheers as the olthoi are driven from the landscape. The renegade tumeroks seize this time to begin their siege anew.
Nest 12

In the northwestern reaches of Osteth, the beleaguered city of Stonehold issues a call for help, as an Olthoi Matron [sic] is spotted somewhere outside the cities boundaries.

As the brave adventurers led by Cederian, destroy the nest guarded by the Olthoi Queen near Stonehold, new alarms are sounded. Settlements in the southern portion of the newly scarred landscape north of the mountain pass are besieged by an Olthoi Queen. Also, travellers through the forests near the northern Beach Fort report seeing a new Olthoi Queen.
Nest 13

Syrtis has crushed the nest near the northern Beach Fort. As the nest is destroyed, reports filter from Stonehold and the settlements to the north of the mountain pass that Olthoi Queens have returned to the surface.
Nest 14

The Olthoi nest to the immediate north of the mountain pass has been vanquished by Santiago Raedwulf. As it falls, new warnings are reported from near the Beach Fort in the north, and near the hidden valley areas.

The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long. Hurry to the portal!

Nest 15

Near Stonehold, travellers report seeing a Queen wandering the outskirts of the city. Near the northern Beach Fort, waves of Olthoi have been attacking with renewed vigor.

To the north of the mountain pass, settlements are reporting seeing heightened Olthoi activity; and in the northernmost mountains of Osteth, a Queen stands amongst the whitecaps challenging those who would dare face her.

Tara Malkav leads a band of brave souls against the nest near the hidden valley. Revelry over its defeat is short-lived, as four Queens return to the surface of the northwestern and northeastern landscape.

The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to may take too long.

Hurry to the portal!

Olthoi began to spawn inside again after the global and we all rushed back outside, hehe. This was when we went back to Stonehold rather than getting to the Northern Esper Mountains where part of our fellow spotted another queen. --Tara "Tasha" Malkav
Nest 16

Driden strikes a fatal blow on the Olthoi Queen. The fiery light of her eyes dims to a cold black, as a portal to the nest she guarded is opened.

Seeing that the Olthoi have fled the landscape, the former inhabitants filter back into the world. The north is not safe, but the olthoi are driven off.

Nest's death is preceded by a sharp, stabbing pain!

As Tara Malkav strikes the final fatal blow against the nest in the northern most reaches of Osteth, the Olthoi on the surface recoil and begin to dig into the earth.

The room begins to shudder; the portal looks to be a safe escape from this place, as waiting to recall may take too long.

Hurry to the portal!

NPCs at Candeth Keep

Aun Xalenua tells you, "We await the coming of Elysatah, slayer of Wharu's Betrothed. She will command us as budhis against the Children of Wharu. Then shall this world know peace, and Palenqual will once again know respite."

Janek, Lugian Juggernaut tells you, "We shall hold the peace here until your High Queen, Elysa, has had proper time to discern the location of all the olthoi nests upon Dereth. Without her, our people would still make war. I prefer peace, do you not as well?"
Elysa Strathelar, Antius Blackmoor and Nuhmudira arrive

High Queen Elysa Strathelar and her entourage arrive at Candeth Keep. They pour over plans to assault a vast network of hives that extends beneath the majority of Dereth. Antius Blackmoor stands at her side as forward scout, and Nuhmudira acts as her chief advisor. The three join the forward guard there and await assistance from any who would aid in removing the Olthoi from Dereth.
High Queen, Elysa Strathelar

High Queen, Elysa Strathelar tells you, "I wish that our meeting were under less dire circumstances. Alas, we are not afforded such an advantage. I thank you for heeding this call and ask that you listen to the words of my councilors, Antius and Nuhmudira."

High Queen, Elysa Strathelar tells you, "Nuhmudira has set aside her differences with Asheron to see that we rid this menace from our land. She needs our help in collecting very fragile organs from the olthoi that now plague the direlands."

High Queen, Elysa Strathelar tells you, "The efforts of others have done well in freeing the remainder of Dereth, I only hope that we can succeed as well as they."

High Queen, Elysa Strathelar tells you, "Antius has information on the movements of the olthoi, he has insight into possible locations of the queens."

High Queen, Elysa Strathelar tells you, "I am preparing plans for an assault on a hive that we have discovered in the northeastern area of Dereth. But I cannot bring the breadth of the unified forces of Dereth to bear against them until we have a weapon to bring the ancient queen down."
Antius Blackmoor

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Since joining the High Queen's council I have served as chief diplomat and scout. In the last few weeks we have found large concentrations of olthoi at several focal points across Dereth. Most of these focal points have already been eliminated by other hunters; their efforts will not be forgotten, or go without reward. There are still five locations that have a higher concentration of olthoi than we have ever seen before."

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We know that vibrations attract the olthoi. Preliminary reports about previously dismantled nests indicated a powerful humming noise emanating from the structure. We believe that the olthoi have been digging from the north and south for quite some time, having used the chaos that has been brewing amongst the lugian and tumerok raids, and heightened presence of Aerbax's virindi, as a cover for their expansion. This shows a heightened intelligence akin to what they exhibited upon our first arrival to Auberean."

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "Additionally, I am certain that smell has something to do with their movements. I've visited the former sites of the nests and found that each had a peculiar scent about it. Perhaps the potency of the scent attracts the different Matrons and Queens, who in turn control the movements and actions of the horde. I cannot fathom the level of intelligence necessary for organizing so many minds at once, but I am certain that such intelligence must have a weakness."

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "We have Asheron and Nuhmudira, despite their differences, working on finding and exploiting that weakness. Nuhmudira is collecting the glands from the olthoi queens, while Asheron attempts to duplicate the process that he used for the original poison. There is still one concern however. We are not as advanced as the Empyrean and so our attempts at harvesting the glands will likely be clumsy. For that very reason, I have found the location of five other massive concentrations of olthoi. We are presuming that these areas are lead by a queen."

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "I have detailed the locations in this book."

Antius Blackmoor gives you Olthoi Queens: Locations and Findings.

Antius Blackmoor tells you, "When you find the queens, kill them and harvest the glands. Return those to Nuhmudira. I will be departing with Elysa at some point to find the location of the final one or two nests. Good Luck."
Nuhmudira

Nuhmudira tells you, "I have come to assist the High Queen however I may. I have put aside my distrust of Asheron for the betterment of all and welcome your assistance as well. My goals are simply to assist in the crafting of a poison that will rid us of the Queen once and for all."

Nuhmudira tells you, "This olthoi menace must be stopped if we are to live free and fulfilling lives. To this end I charge you to assist us, in this hour of need, by hunting and killing the Olthoi Queens that control the Direlands, and Obsidian Plains. Harvest the glands that produce the acid that they spit and return them to me."

Nuhmudira tells you, "Be very careful in the collection process. Asheron has explained that mishandling the glands can corrupt and ruin the specimen. Bring any specimen that you harvest to me. I will know which ones are complete when they are delivered. Antius seems to know the location of these queens. Speak to him and perhaps he will give you some guidance."

Nuhmudira tells you, "Be safe."

[Player's Name] rends the nest in the Gharu'ndim lands. The beacon crumbles, and with it the will of the olthoi. They flee the surface and in their wake other creatures return to the surface.

"A crushing blow from [Player's Name] rips the olthoi nest in the Aluvian lands apart. The beacon that called the olthoi to these lands has been destroyed. As the chitin warriors are driven from the surface, the former denizens return to claim the land once more."

"With a mighty blow, [Player's Name] shreds the nest in Sho lands. With the beacon that called them to these lands destroyed, the olthoi retreat from the landscape. As the olthoi dig beneath the surface, other creatures find their way back to the surface."
