Druidic Ritual

1. Talk about Druidic Ritual.
2. Can you tell me what I need to do to earn a skillcape of Herblore?

What brings you to our holy monument? I sense the hand of Guthix in your arrival. Maybe you can help me with something.

1. What do you need help with?
2. Who are you?
3. Did you build this?

I have a worth while quest for you, actually. You have about you the air of a wandering hero, and I sense you can aid us. You are aware, are you not, that we worship Guthix, the god of balance?

1. I'm pretty sure I've heard that before.
2. Not really. What can you tell me about him.

Well, anyway, we wish to contribute our strength to those solders who are fighting to protect us. However, Guthix sits in balance on the matter. All the omens show that he favours neither side more than the other, because on a global scale the trolls' chaos and disorder are relatively minor.

* How can I help with this?

In Taverley there is a herbalist, Sanfew. He is researching a potion we can offer to Guthix to bring our plight to this attention. The trolls represent disorder. For us it is a major, immediate imbalance of the elements of harmony. But we need to call upon Guthix to right it with all haste. The potion is specifically called the ointment of imbalance. If it is applied to the stone it will ball Guthix's attention to our plight. Once he sses the chaos the trolls have brought, he will turn his power against them, and our star will once more be in the ascendant. I would ask you hero, to go and help Sanfew with whatever he requests. With your help I am sure we can create the potion and perform the ritual.

Accept Quest.

* Ok, I will try and help.

Excellent. Go to the last house on this side of the riverbank to the south of Taverley and speak to Sanfew who is working on the potion for the ritual. He knows what is required to complete it thanks to his studies.

* Will do.

What can I do for you young 'un?

1. I've been sent to help make an ointment of imbalance for Kaqemeex.
2. Actually, I don't need to speak to you.

Have you now? Well, aren't I the lucky one? You may be good at bashin' trolls, young 'un, but this will take a little more thinking for you to get done. I've got a list of things I need you to retrieve for the potion. Don't you go worrying about mixing it up, just leave that to me. Now, let me see, what was it I needed again? Oh, I remember. I need you to get me a vial of 'untainted living water'.

* Thanks!

After that, you can get me some wandering wyrmwood. And while you're by the lake, you can catch me a stone fish and get some of the scales.

1. Where can I find the water? It's said that there is a spring of living water. I've heard some trolls have gone and mucked about with it, but what we need is untainted by whatever modern hokum they have brought. Just take a vial and fill it up from that water source. That's all you need from there.

2. Where can I find the wandering Wyrmwood? Well, I heard there is a patch of land on the southern shore of the lake to the south of Taverley where the ground is so fertile the plants can get up and walk. You can't really miss it, because of...you know...all the plants walking around. Wait until one of them gets up and walks off, then pluck some leaves off it, if you try it when it is still planted it will not work, as it has to be from wandering, wandering wyrmwood.

3. Where can I find the stone fish? The magic in the lake to the south of Taverley makes stone fish appear from time to time. The pebbles at the bottom of the lake just up and start swimming about, and before you know it, they've turned into a fish. They love gold, so go down there and bait a hook with a gold coin and you'll be sure to catch one. I don't need the whole thing, just scrape off some of the scales with a chisel and let it go free again.

1. Where can I find the water?
2. Where can I find the wandering wyrmood?
3. Ok, I'll do that then.

Well thank you very much! So nice to see some polite young people around for a change.

4. Ok, I'll do that now.

Sanfew:
Did you bring me the required ingredients for the potion?

* Yes, here you go.

Sanfew:
That's the stuff! Well, now I think about it. You've got it all for me! Right. Let's get this potion sorted than. Sanfew mixes up the potion. There we go. Now, take this back to Kaqemeex at the stone circle and we'll be fixed up and ready!



Kaqemeex:
Guthix, lord of balance, hear us! In the name of all beasts and plants, from the humblest mouse to the mightiest of dragons. From the tiniest blade of grass to the tallest oak...

Sanfew:
What are you gabbling about, young Kaqemeex? The ritual just calls for you pouring the Ointment on the stone. Are you trying to put us all to sleep?

Kaqemeex:
Well forgive me for trying to add a little gravity to the moment. Accept our sacrifice, Guthix; witness our devotion!

Sanfew:
Well, did it work?

Kaqemeex:
I feel that our prayers been answered. Guthix will has turned against the trolls!

Sanfew:
Well, this calls for a celebration! Where's the mead?
