Balduin The BakerHi there Bennie. I guess you are here to assist me in my job!
Playerjob or help
Balduin The BakerI'm a member of the Magic Bakery Alliance. We are an order that is dedicated to further the knowledge of bakery for the benefit of mankind. Our goals are as numerous as the recipes we come up with each season.
Playergoals
Balduin The BakerCurrently we are trying to reclaim another part of Kullu's wisdom. Year after year, we try our best to break the defences of Cake Keep Isle.
PlayerKullu
Balduin The BakerHe was a great mage but an even greater cook. His recipes and spells are priceless. Sadly, even if we succeed in breaking the defences of Cake Keep Isle, we will only manage to decipher a tiny fraction of his knowledge. ...
Balduin The BakerAnd still, we don't know what happened to Kullu. He retreated from our world to fully concentrate on his research on cooking recipes and spells. ...
Balduin The BakerHe was some sweet tooth for all that we know. And for sure a genius when it comes to baking and magic. ...
Balduin The BakerHis kitchen magic was that amazing, you could not tell where baking ended and magic started.
Playerkeep
Balduin The BakerTo be undisturbed, he placed his keep on an isle that existed on a planar instability which allowed him to phase the isle out of existence for most of the time. ...
Balduin The BakerAdditionally he surrounded the isle with a sorcery of his invention that defied most attempts to reach it. ...
Balduin The BakerIt took us quite a while to figure out that he'd never be able to weave a protection spell against something he loved so dearly like cakes and bakery wares. ...
Balduin The BakerSo we came up with the idea of the bridge.
Playerbridge
Balduin The BakerAfter a few failed attempts with gingerbread boats and the like, we figured out how to reach Cake Keep Isle. We used the very ingredients we could derive from his cake golem attacks to build a stable cake bridge to his isle.
Playergolem
Balduin The BakerAh well, that's an .. uhm .. funny story. ...
Balduin The BakerYou see, after the first expedition reached the isle, they took so long trying to find a way to Kullu's secrets that the isle began to vanish into the void while they were still there. ...
Balduin The BakerThe entire time, they were harassed by Kullu's cake golem guardians of the keep. In the last minute, they cast emergency teleports to their home cities. ...
Balduin The BakerThe good thing is it was not too late and all escaped. Well, the bad thing is their spells somehow reacted with the void-rift of that place, building astral tunnels from the void to said cities. ...
Balduin The BakerNow, whenever the isle manifests, the tunnels manifest as well. The ugly part is that through this one-way tunnels the cake golem army that was apparently sucked into the void has access to the cities and can raid them. ...
Balduin The BakerBut they are not only an annoyance but also our greatest chance. Nasty but tasty little buggers. They can be troublesome but we need them for our bridge construction.
Playerchance
Balduin The BakerThe golems that raid the cities supply us with two major materials that we need to build our bridge to Cake Keep Isle. ...
Balduin The BakerOne component is the sugary mass that can be gained if you slay one of them. We use it as a kind of mortar. ...
Balduin The BakerThe second part is a bit trickier to get. It is the raw cake material. It is kind of challenging to gain it. We built extraction machines that can drain the base material from the still animated corpses. ...
Balduin The BakerWe placed one in each of the raided cities. You will have to lure the golems into the machines, to extract the material from them. ...
Balduin The BakerWe need it to have a stable base material that is resilient against wind, weather and salt water.
Playermass
Balduin The BakerWe accumulated 116 of 200 sugary mass. We can't fail this year! We will not allow it!
Playerbase
Balduin The BakerI'm somewhat worried. Getting the base material is always the tricky part. People are usually a bit too eager to kill. We accumulated 140 of 200 base material until now.
Playername Balduin The Bakam Balduin. Balduin the baker, that is.
Playerbakery
Balduin The BakerWe are a mystic order of bakers who pursue goals for the benefit of all mankind. Don't even listen to the lies and propaganda spread by those who envy us.
Playerlies
Balduin The BakerThough most of our noble order abandoned the more theoretical studies at the academies, it is an evil lie that we are failed students who know more about drinking and eating than about magic. ...
Balduin The BakerOnce we have revealed all of Kullu's secrets, we will be envied by all. And of course we all will become famous and incredibly rich.
Playerorder
Balduin The BakerWe are a mystic baker order. Don't listen to those who envy us and spread ugly lies and propaganda. We are dedicated to uncover the greatest secrets about cooking and baking. ...
Balduin The BakerBaking is the only trade worth to be considered. Without bakers everyone would starve. We are what ties a society together, preferably with a thick, sticky and sweet mass made of fruits. ...
Balduin The BakerWe are the momentum of culture. Baking is what divides civilization from barbarism.
Playerbye
Balduin The BakerGood bye.
