I'mul says 'I wonder how challenging your research task can be.. I can offer you different levels of challenges, based on your preference. Small research tasks are rather quick and easy to complete whereas hard ones are, well.. hard and more time consuming.'
3: I am sure I can handle hard task

-----------------------------------------------------
I'mul says 'Here you are, remember to read what the research note says and use this vase to complete the task.'
I'mul hands you the research note attached to tiny vase.
-----------------------------------------------------
I'mul says 'As a master evolutionist, it is my duty to make sure research for our evolution progresses as scheduled. It is important that everyone do as much as they can to help, as Lord Nergal doesn't tolerate delays. You can help by completing tasks for me. These tasks require you to find
specific specimen of a race or certain monster of which I need research from.'
Aarun, one of the Legates of Lord Nergal
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun asks 'My name is Aarun. I am one of the chosen Legates of Lord Nergal here in this realm. What can I do for you young one?'
2: I want to help! Where do I sign up?
3: What powers does Lord Nergal grant to his followers?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'This is our base of operations. From here, we study the evolutions of all living things, and spread the teachings of Lord Nergal, the God of Rot.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'In the temple of chaos, not far from here. You will need to pledge yourself to chaos before Lord Nergal can accept you.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Too many to list. Some must be earned, and others improve as you gain more insight into our ways. '
1: Tell me about our basic abilities.
2: I'd like to improve my own fighting abilities.
3: Tell me more about minions.
4: Tell me about auras and diseases.
5: Tell me about our studies of evolution.
7: Tell me about the Nergal masteries.

-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Lord Nergal grants you use of parasites. Through these, you may capture minions and control their actions. You can also call forth a parasitic swarm, which inflicts periodic damage. There are also diseases which can be transformed into auras, and your minions can infect other living
beings with those auras.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'To raise your stats and resistances, go speak to Eevo'c about the evolution trees. To gain fighting skills, you'll need to seek elsewhere. Our guild is focused on minions and boosting their behaviour.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun asks 'There are two types of minions - common minions, and enthralled ones. Which type interests you?'
1: Tell me about the common minions.
2: Where can I find common minions?
3: How about the enthralled minions?
5: How can I train enthralled minions?
7: How do enthralled minions learn skills or spells?
8: How do I issue orders to my minions?
9: What is the cost of summoning and using minions?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Common minions are creatures of the wilds, brought under our control. They retain the characteristics, skills, and spells that they had before, and these skills and spells are at our disposal. Common minions are disposable, they cannot survive the Armageddon, nor the departure of their master.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'To control common minions, you will need to venture into the world and study its lifeforms. When you find a suitable one, you can use the 'enthralling parasite' spell to command the parasite to root into its spine and attempt to gain control over the creature. The creature must be
sufficiently weakened for this to work, and your power determines how strong minions you can capture. Some types of creatures cannot be captured at all, and others will lose some of their powers. The 'evaluate host' spell can be used to check if a minion is suitable.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Enthralled minions are fully under the control of their parasite. They remember nothing at all about their previous life, and lose all the knowledge and powers that they once had. Thus, when seeking to enthrall a minion, the only factor that matters is its race.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'At the altar behind me, just bring a common minion and pray there to get started. Remember that race matters - ogres or trolls make poor spellcasters, you'll find. Don't forget also that freshly awakened, their minds are blank, like those of a newborn, and must be trained first. The
enthralled minion can be dismissed with the 'end enthrallment' spell, and called back later with the 'awake enthralled' one. All you need to know is its true name - the parasite will report this to you, and you can check them at the altar as well. You can get rid of unused enthralled minions at
the altar behind me.'
1: Where can I summon enthralled minions?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'For that, you'll need to harvest the life energies of other beings - we call these energies 'vitae' and 'potentia'. Again, there are spells for that - 'harvest vitae' and 'reap potentia'. The process takes a while, so don't run off anywhere. Then, use the 'nourish enthralled' spell to
empower your minions. Depending on which energy you use, the minion can become one of several types.'
2: How much potentia or vitae do I need?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'The 'nourish enthralled' spell, again. Not only does it improve your minions, it also heals them. You can also use the regular healing spells, if you know any.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'First, you'll need to capture a common minion that knows the desired spell or skill. Then, have the minion use it - after some uses, your parasite will learn the spell. The more your common minion uses the spell, the better it gets learned - check out 'nergal knowledge'. You should also
note that there is a chance for you to forget some of the teachings over the time due complexity of them.Then, summon the enthralled minion and drink from the bowl in the guildhall to get started. Training spells costs vitae and potentia, as well as some of your own experience, depending on how
well your parasite knows it - but worry not, you'll get it back when you reincarnate. Remember that unless you're evolved enough to be able to sustain more than one minion at a time, you'll need to dismiss the common minion first.'
1: Can minions lose the trained skills and spells?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Spreading diseases is an important duty of a follower of Lord Nergal, as they grant us insights into the evolution of various races. The diseases also weaken the targets, of course.'
1: What diseases are available?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Go talk to E'voc about that.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Aarun says 'Gain enough power, and you may just stumble upon the knowledge of one. As a fresh Nergal, you needn't worry about these.'
Eevo'c, one of the Legates of Lord Nergal
----------------------------------------------------
Eevo'c exclaims 'Halt there! I am Legate Eevo'c!'
2: How do I get evolution points?
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Eevo'c says 'To expand our own abilities - right here behind me, in the chambers of evolution. There are three evolutionary trees available. As you improve your knowledge of evolution, you can expand your knowledge in one of the evolutionary branches - Minions, Stats, and Disease. Remember that
knowledge is linked - you cannot learn the more advanced topics until you have learned the basic ones.'
1: Tell me about the minions branch.
2: Tell me about the stats branch.
3: Tell me about the disease branch.
Enter your choice: 1
-----------------------------------------------------
Eevo'c says 'This branch empowers your minions. The first abilities are crucial, as they grant them basic combat skills. Later, you'll learn how to improve their stats and resistances, speed up their casting, and even how to control more than one minion at a time. A very important branch for any
Nergal to learn.'
-----------------------------------------------------
Eevo'c says 'By expanding your knowledge of evolution of various lifeforms. Also, the 'Evolutionary apex' mastery skill is granted to you by Lord Nergal to keep track of these things.'
1: Cool, but how to I gain this knowledge?
