MeI demand the Test of Fire.
HyglasThe Test of Fire is from the olden days and has not been held for a long time.
HyglasWhat you are demanding is far too dangerous. So just don't think about it any more.
HyglasI am Master Hyglas, Guardian of the Fire and Keeper of Knowledge.
HyglasSo Master Parlan has given you permission to study the scriptures.
HyglasThen it's up to you now to do exactly that. Study, so that you may find enlightenment in the scriptures.
MeWhat are you studying, Master?
HyglasMy research focuses on fire - the power of Innos.
HyglasIt is his gift and, at the same time, a mighty weapon - and I create runes which contain this power.
MeVery enlightening. Can you teach me that?
HyglasIt is Innos who grants the magic. Only to his servants, the Magicians of Fire, is it given to learn how to wield this power.
MeI have demanded the Test of Fire. Ulthar gave me the task to create a fire arrow rune.
HyglasAnd now you want me to teach you the formula?
MeI don't know how else I could do it.
HyglasHmm ...
HyglasAll right, I shall teach you the formula. But first you need to find all the necessary ingredients.
MeWhat ingredients do I need for a fire arrow rune?
HyglasRead up on it - it's right there in the books.
MeTeach me to create the FIRE ARROW rune.
HyglasIn order to create a fire arrow rune, you need to join the sulphur with the runestone at the rune table.
HyglasThe power of the fire arrow spell scroll will flow into the rune, and you will possess a tool of Innos.
HyglasSo, once you have all the raw materials, walk over to the rune table and create your rune.
MeWhere can I find a runestone?
HyglasHey, it's you who demanded the test of the Fire - not I. Finding that out is part of the test.
MeI've created the rune.
HyglasWell, well. You seem to have passed this test. That wasn't so hard, after all.
HyglasThen go to Ulthar now and show him your work.
MeTeach me.
MeAny news?
HyglasHm, yes. Well, you have probably noticed those black-robed figures.
MeI've met them.
HyglasThis brings us to the core of the matter. At the moment, we are observing a very rare constellation of stars.
HyglasTo be more exact, the sign of the Ox currently stands in direct correlation with the sign of the Warrior. I suppose that you know what that means.
MeHmm. Well, to be honest ...
HyglasYes, right, I see. Well, I cannot explain the entire background to you now, but it definitely signifies great changes. And I do not like changes.
HyglasTherefore, I want you to get me a book from town. It is called 'The divine power of the stars'. You may have to rummage around for it a bit, but I'm sure that you can find it.
MeGet the book yourself.
HyglasYou dare speak to me in such a tone? Your behavior does not show the respect that is due to me.
HyglasGet out of my sight and think about your behavior.
MeWhat's in it for me?
HyglasWhat do you mean?
MeI'd like to know what you'll give me if I bring you the book.
HyglasNothing. What were you expecting to get? If you have time to run an errand in town for me, it is even your duty to help me.
MeI'll see whether I can find it.
HyglasThat's good - it frees up my time so I can follow some other trails as well.
HyglasBut don't take too much time. Time, I'm afraid, is what we have the least of.
MeI've got the book for you.
HyglasVery good, give here.
HyglasSo you changed your mind after all. Very good. So where do you have the book?
HyglasYou may withdraw now. I shall retire and study.
MeFound anything out yet?
HyglasWell, I cannot be completely sure, but the current constellation of the stars seems to indicate many dangers.
MeWhat kind of dangers?
HyglasWell, the structure between the worlds seems to be very weak. It only takes a small portion of the power that would be necessary otherwise to tear a hole into this structure.
HyglasDemons could use those portals to enter our world without encountering resistance.
HyglasNo, I am still waiting for that book.
HyglasI told you that I am still doing some research, but of course that will take longer if I do not have the necessary materials.
