Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'All right. All right. One more riddle. This one will truly challenge your lore-mastery. Again, I give you a key to a chest. Again, I challenge you to show even a thousandth part of the brilliance of Humfrey Rumming, wisest of the Wise! 'So, er, here you go:   Lesser get of Ancalagon's spawn   Taloned claws and fang-gaped yawn.   Scatha's tears would surely flow   Saw he his children laid so low.' Background The lore-master Humfrey Rumming must know something about the salamanders of Tyl Ruinen, though he seems to be hiding some sort of secret. Objective 1 Solve Humfrey Rumming's riddle There are chests hidden all around Tyl Ruinen, and one of them contains the solution to Rumming's riddle. The riddle goes:   Lesser get of Ancalagon's spawn   Taloned claws and fang-gaped yawn.   Scatha's tears would surely flow   Saw he his children laid so low.' Objective 2 Bring token of the worm to Humfrey Rumming Humfrey Rumming is by the ruins of Tollobel on Tyl Ruinen. You have obtained the token of the worm from a chest on Tyl Ruinen. Bring it back to Humfrey Rumming, if you believe it is the solution to his riddle. Humfrey Rumming: 'Well. I suppose you think you've won? Well, you haven't won! Not by a long shot! You'll never beat me! Not Humfrey Rumming! No! 'Oh, yes, right. The salamanders. Ah, I had forgotten. Well, since you acknowledge my greatness, my preeminence amongst all lore-masters.... 'I suppose it would be all right to share my secret, since you have proven yourself worthy...barely. Not one in a thousand, one in a million, could have solved my riddles! So, now...listen closely....'
