Hunting Aun Ralirea

Quest Overview
Quest to gain an additional Skill Credit to purchase Skills with.

Walkthrough

 * 1) Hunt Aun Ralirea on the plateau, he is a rare random spawn and can appear anywhere on the plateau, though he is more commonly found in the northern half.
 * 2) * Route: From the Town Network, take the Annex (south) wing to Timaru.
 * 3) * [Tip] - Because the spawn is rare, hours can be spent trying to find him unsuccessfully. One strategy to greatly increase the odds is to drop all five bells for the Olthoi Queen Quest. This causes the plateau to be overrun with olthoi spawns. Because there are far more spawn points, Ralirea has a much higher chance of spawning. If you also choose to kill the olthoi for Tesserae, it isn't uncommon to see Aun Ralirea three or more times.
 * 4) * [Tip] - From Severlin on 03/05/10: "Your best bet is to actually kill spawns. Since he is a random spawn off generators in the area the more generator activity the more likely you are to find him. If you just run around looking for him and don't clear any spawns it is possible he just hasn't spawned at all."
 * 5) Aun Ralirea speaks in open chat when you are near him. Be sure the person that needs the skill credit kills him, he drops a Clay Figurine that you take back to Hea Arantah in Ahurenga for the skill credit and if the person handing did not kill him (ID corpse if uncertain), no credit will be given.
 * 6) * Note: You must hand the figurine to Arantah within 24 hours of looting it to gain the skill credit.

Hea Arantah
Young Arantah glowers at you. Hea Arantah tells you, "What do you want, man-thing? Be quick, and do not lie, for the atual arutoa have given me many eyes to see the truth with. Annoy me at your own risk, for my anger is quick and my power great... As the Aun have learned."

Young Arantah looks annoyed - which seems to be his natural state. Hea Arantah tells you, "What? Can't you see I'm busy? I have many responsibilities here!" Hea Arantah tells you, "That Aun hunter, for one. What's his name?" Arantah belches loudly as Nyrinua calls over, "Ralirea, my Tah." Hea Arantah tells you, "Ralirea, yes. Don't CORRECT me, Nyri." Hea Arantah tells you, "Anyway, this old Aun dustongue - Ralirea - poaches the gromnies of my plateau! If someone would kill him, and bring me that figurine he wears within a day as proof..."

Speaking to Hea Arantah after killing Aun Ralirea
Hea Arantah tells you, "You're [Player Name]! They told me what you did - you killed that poacher Ralirea! Give me his figurine. Quickly, quickly!"

When you get the Kill
You give Hea Arantah Clay Figurine. Hea Arantah tells you, "Wow, great! Ha ha! I warned them not to send their hunters on to my plateau!" Young Arantah clutches his fist around the little figurine, so tightly the veins in his wrist stand in relief. His eyes flash violet, and after a muffled crunch, clay dust begins to trickle through his fingers. He looks up at you and grins boyishly. Hea Arantah tells you, "That was a trick my friends taught me, way back when I was driven from Timaru. I could do the same to your head, you know." Hea Arantah tells you, "I'm kidding! You've been a friend the Hea, and I reward my friends. Here..." Arantah places his hand on your forehead and his eyes glow blue-white. You feel... enlightened... You have gained a skill point!

When you don't get the Kill
Hea Arantah tells you, "Ha! Your keh is all wrong! You were not the one who slew Ralirea this day - someone else did, and gave you his totem. Tell your friend to come and collect my reward himself, I am too important to deal with errand-runners."

Quest Repeat
You give Hea Arantah Clay Figurine. A suspicious scowl lumbers across the young Tumerok chieftain's face. Hea Arantah tells you, "Now wait. My memory isn't what it used to be since the atual arutoa... bettered me, but I do remember your face, [Player Name]." Hea Arantah tells you, "Yes... I rewarded you for Ralirea's death before. That means this figurine must be a fake! You dare try to fool the mighty friend of the atual? Go away before I use my Grip on you!"
