Ixototon - Catch of a Lifetime (Open)

[Deeza]

This is a simple quest that's centred around a tense buildup to a single, epic fight.

Xitoton is a simple fishing village on the south coast, that's lately been terrorised by a monster from the deep. Fingers-of-Frost was, until recently, the wife of the village's finest fisherman, who was devoured by the beast. She has vowed to destroy it, but the rest of the villagers are too terrified to help her.

Enter stage left the "Dobhar-Chu", or swamp leviathan. First of all the player must prepare for the fight, helping Fingers-of-Frost enchant numerous items and brew potions to assist you. You can start the fight at any time, but the more preparation you do, the less tough it will be.

When you're ready, you have to smear yourself in fish blood then swim out into the bay in order to attract the monster. From then on it's a one-on-one brawl between wandering hero and gigantic marine reptile.

If you kill it, the grateful villagers make a necklace out of the thing's teeth, and your reputation among the Sea People rises enormously.
