The Time Lord looks relieved.

"Then I have a mission for thee."

"Then away with thee!" END

"I am known as the Time Lord."

"I ensure that time flows smoothly through space." He shrugs his shoulders. "Do not ask me to explain this. It is beyond mortal beings' comprehension."

"It was I who sent the red moongate to thine homeland to lure thee to Britannia! It took every bit of my strength to make it functional, and still something went wrong. Thou didst arrive in Trinsic, which was not mine intention. It has therefore taken thee much longer to reach me than I anticipated.

"Once thou didst arrive in Britannia, the only other way I could contact thee was via the Wisps. After the considerable rest I had since creating the red moongate, I managed to repair the one Orb of the Moons location that would bring thee to me. I cannot roam freely through time and space, doing my work, whilst I am trapped here."

"The land is under attack by a powerful and malicious being from another dimension, and thou art the only one who can stop him! I have been trapped here by a trick, due to a sorcery which The Guardian has performed. The Guardian has put a wrinkle in the space-time continuum by creating a powerful 'generator' which has made the Moongates and thine Orb of the Moons mostly inoperable.

"Thou -must- free me and we must work together in battling The Guardian. The fate of thy people depends upon it. Dost thou accept?"

"I knew thou wouldst not let me down.

"Go at once to the Serpent's Spine area. Search for the entrance to a dungeon somewhere northwest of Britain. I believe it may be called 'Dungeon Despise'. This will lead thee to the generator causing the problem. If mine hunch is correct, it will resemble a large Sphere.

If been there: "Thou may have already seen it.

If not: "Thou must find a way to destroy it.

"It may have a defense mechanism. If thou canst not conquer it, return here and describe the defense to me. Perhaps I can help thee more. It might be wise to use the spells Mark and Recall to save thyself the trouble of finding thy way through the entire dungeon a second time, should thou have to travel there again."

"Its defense, as thou dost know, is an unusual Moongate."

"Oddly aloof creatures. They have made good messengers in the past."

"He is an embodiment of supreme evil. He must be stopped. He thrives on domination and control."

"It is a magic generator that The Guardian was able to send from his world. Its purpose is to disable the Moongates. Thou must break its outer defense and enter the structure, taking the smaller Sphere floating inside. Keep the small Sphere, as it will be useful later."

"The Sphere's outer defense sends thy party back to a specific position in space. Until this defense is broken, thou canst not enter the generator. Thou must find Nicodemus' hourglass.

"If I am correct in mine hypothesis, the Sphere's inner defense will involve Moongates. Look for a visual pattern to help thee solve this mystery."

"It is an enchanted hourglass which will help thee if it is used at the site of the Sphere. Once I am free of the power of the generator, thou canst summon me by using the hourglass."

"It is of no use to thee now, unless thou dost want to summon me again."

"He is a mage that lives west of the forest of Yew."

The Time Lord thinks a moment.

"The ether must be repaired before the mages in Britannia can use magic again. I suggest that thou seest Penumbra in Moonglow. She may be able to help thee with this problem."

After fixed: "Magic must be functioning properly now, Avatar. Use it wisely."

"It is a magic generator that The Guardian has sent from his world. It is controlling the ether which is depended upon by the mages to perform magic. Like the Sphere, thou must penetrate its outer defense, enter the structure, and take the smaller Tetrahedron floating inside."

"It is not surprising that the Tetrahedron has such a defense. Penumbra in Moonglow should be able to help thee with that. It is obvious now that the Tetrahedron must be destroyed before thou canst destroy the Sphere.

"I am not sure what kind of inner defense the Tetrahedron may hold. It may be dangerous. Be sure to be well-armed when entering it."

"She is an elderly mage who lives in Moonglow."

"It is a magic generator which The Guardian has sent from his world. From what thou dost say, it sounds to me like the device he uses to 'speak' to his followers and charm them into submitting to his wishes. I am afraid that before thou canst destroy it, thou must take care of the other magic generators which The Guardian has placed in Britannia."

"It is the third and final magic generator which The Guardian has sent from his world. It is the device he uses to 'speak' to his followers and charm them into submitting to his wishes. Tis in a dungeon near Serpents Hold. Thou must destroy its outer defense, enter it, and take the smaller Cube floating inside."

"This outer defense can be conquered by using special helmets which cover your ears. The helmets must be made from a rare mineral called 'Caddellite'. It is present in meteors. Seek out Brion, at the Observatory near the Lycaeum. He can give thee more advice on finding this mineral.

"The inner defense will most likely involve The Guardian himself. Do not listen to what he might tell thee."

"Farewell, Avatar. Good luck to thee." END
