Strange Haunting

Did we miss anything in this section? Is there something we didn't discover? Let us know!


Background

Avarosh has sent you here to find out what's been haunting his mine. Ungram has warned you it is a bosnickel, and that you can not fight him by traditional means. You will need to learn his names. There are four petrified dwarves, each of whom knows a letter of his name. With each dwarf you'll have to answer a riddle posed by the bosnickel, or bribe him with 10x Rat's Tails, or use the Die from Sanraya to depetrify him, or use the Rescindere spell on him. The method by which you depetrify the dwarves does not influence your AP gain.


1 - Tusker Craggrim

The bosnickel will approach you for the first time, and introduce himself as your worst nightmare. Keep saying he's not, and switch to "are too" when it becomes available to receive the Leprechaun Gift.

The answer to the this riddle is Niame. The letter Tusker gives you is N. Depetrifying Tusker nets you 20AP.


2 - Bosnickel tonguetwister

The bosnickel stops you for another challenge, repeating his tongue-twister perfectly. If you have a very high Perception talent you will be able to do this correctly. If you answered correctly, the Amulet of Intuition is added to the rainbow chest, but you can pass on either way.


3 - Shaftsweeper Toppel

The answer to this riddle is Ogre. The letter Toppel gives you is O. Depetrifying Toppel nets you 20AP.

If you answer the question wrong and then choose to fly, Bosnickel will transport you to #4.


4 - Secret Chamber

This chamber can only be entered by answering the question at #3 wrong. In it you'll find a chest containing an Old Key to the Delvings, 2x Mouse Trap, Ring of Phex, 78x Rat's Tail, 3x Marbles, Gold Chain, Storm Sentinel Leg Greaves. The key opens the door so you can leave.


5 - Hidden Treasure

Behind a secret door you will find two craft chests and a locked chest containing a Wyrmslayer, a Dwarfmallet, 64x Rare Coin, 86x Old Bronze Coin.


6 - Sapper Pagrosh

The answer to this riddle is the Great River. The letter Pagrosh gives you is G. Depetrifying Pagrosh nets you 20AP.

Pagrosh will also start the quest the Water Pump, which you will not be able to resolve until you return here later.


7 - Climber Grimmnash

The answer to this riddle is Ottas. The letter Grimmnash gives you is O. Depetrifying Grimmnash nets you 20AP and 20D


8 - Bosnickel

The bosnickel is waiting here. Tell him his name (Nogo) and he will disappear, netting you 50AP. Return to Avarosh with this news for another 50AP. Additionally, if you compliment Avarosh's decision making, he gives you 10D.


9 - Rainbow Chest

Once the bosnickel is gone you can reach this chest. It contains a Stonesplitter, Malmarangroshom, Dwarven Plated Boots, Master Key and - if you solved his riddle tonguetwister at #2 - an Amulet of Intuition.
