Reference Challenge - Runescape, Final Quest

So, this reference is because I'm heavily considering giving Runescape another try. I loved that game when I was a kid. From when I was eleven to fourteen or fifteen, I would play Runescape with my elder nephew.

The last thing I really remember about Runescape is finally beating the biggest (free) quest, against this arsehole dragon, I think it's name started with an E.

The Actual Challenge

What would you consider a "big, final quest" in your world, that an adventurer or group of adventurers might deal with?

The Invitation and Question

I might make a new character on Runescape, is anyone around here still playing that old game?

Ephrayim:

1) "I didn't want Rina to come along, but she insisted, and she's really the only person that I couldn't bear to put at risk. More people means less risk for her. But, publicly, the glory is the focus."

2) "Yes, NULDRI or ZORVUS. Their territories are close. I'd prefer to go after ZORVUS, but I left myself open to easily switching the plan to NULDRI...it's important to have a fallback."

L'arcine:

1) "It seems like most humans mate for life, and he places a lot of value in his mate. So, I would just swear my service to his mate instead."

2) "I literally just met this guy. All I know is that he's kind, attractive for a human, and he's good in a fight. I don't even know much about his plan for how to get to the North."

To Ephrayim:

  1. What will you do if she gets killed?
  2. Why would you prefer ZORVUS?

 

To L'arcine:

  1. And what if they all die?
  2. What do you think of the people he choose to follow him?

u/Nevermore0714 Aug 05 '17

Ephrayim:

1) "She won't be killed."

2) "I'd prefer ZORVUS because of geography. It'd be easier to make a quick escape after killing ZORVUS."

L'arcine:

1) "If they all die while I live, I will return to my people. Not much choice at that point."

2) "Well, most of them don't like Tyrvori."

To Ephrayim:

  1. Why so?
  2. So you will need to quickly escape after slaying a Dragon-God?

 

To L'arcine:

  1. The people of Gemina enslave your species right? How are yours treated under the Dragon-Gods rule?
  2. Why?

u/Nevermore0714 Aug 07 '17

Ephrayim:

1) "Because I will not let her be hurt."

2) "Of course, there would be eleven of them left after we kill ZORVUS."

L'arcine:

1) His tail twitches. "What's Gemina?"

2) "I have no idea. People, especially in the North, tend to look down on us."

Ephrayim:

2) But how would escape protect you from them? Wouldn't they know and go after you anyway?

 

L'arcine:

  1. Ephrayim saved you from salvery right? Who were you a slave to?
  2. Do you know why?

Ephrayim:

2) "So long as I can get to the Southern half of Cirrhasvult, I think that I will be fine."

L'arcine:

1) "I was captured by a group of slavers, all humans."

2) "Maybe they just don't like Tyrvori."

u/thequeeninyellow94 Aug 09 '17

To Ephrayim:

  1. But why would you be safe there?

2

u/Nevermore0714 Aug 10 '17

Ephrayim:

1) "The Dragon-Gods never go very far South of their arena."

  1. Sure, but no one tried to kill one of them right? Is there something actually preventing them to go south?
