Brian The BakerHi there Player. Are you here to help?
Playerno
Brian The BakerToo bad, I guess we could need some more.
Playerhelp or job
Brian 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
Brian 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
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian The BakerHe was some sweet tooth for all that we know. And for sure a genius when it comes to baking and magic. ...
Brian The BakerHis kitchen magic was that amazing, you could not tell where baking ended and magic started.
Playerkeep
Brian 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. ...
Brian The BakerAdditionally he surrounded the isle with a sorcery of his invention that defied most attempts to reach it. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian The BakerSo we came up with the idea of the bridge.
Playerbridge
Brian 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
Brian The BakerAh well, that's an .. uhm .. funny story. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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
Brian The BakerThe golems that raid the cities supply us with two major materials that we need to build our bridge to Cake Keep Isle. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian The BakerWe need it to have a stable base material that is resilient against wind, weather and salt water.
Playermass
Brian The BakerWe accumulated ??? of 200 sugary mass. We can't fail this year! We will not allow it!
Playerbase
Brian 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 ??? of 200 base material until now.
PlayerMagic Bakery Alliance
Brian 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.
Playerorder
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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. ...
Brian The BakerWe are the momentum of culture. Baking is what divides civilization from barbarism.
Playerlies
Brian 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. ...
Brian 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.
Playerrecipes
Brian The BakerKullu's recipes are as precious and complicated as are his spells. You often even need magic to have them done. Instant freezing and boiling are quite handy for most of them. ...
Brian The BakerNot to mention the special conditions you have to take care of. Though most people lack the refinement of tasting skills to recognise the difference of a pasta caramellum made at full moon in winter and one made at an eclipse in autumn.
Playerisle
Brian The BakerNow once we've got enough ingredients to finish the bridge, we have to face another challenge. And that is the cake keep itself! Is is an almost impenetrable though edible fortress made completely out of cake! ...
Brian The BakerThe thing is, to reach his secrets we will have to eat the whole cake! This is easier said than done though as the the cake regenerates itself periodically with the help of magic. ...
Brian The BakerSo we only have a few minutes to eat a whole layer of the cake, only then it will not regenerate but the upper layer will come down. So layer for layer we have to eat that cake. ...
Brian The BakerIt will take an army of hungry Tibians to eat them all in time. Even then things have to be somewhat coordinated. ...
Brian The BakerPeople have to be brought here, wait for their turn to eat and of course stay hungry. Eating another layer might prove futile if you do not wait a few minutes for the hunger to return. ...
Brian The BakerThe good thing is that all people, big and small, can participate. ...
Brian The BakerI guess the isle had a nice and flashy name in the past. But you know how people are. Someone started to call it the Cake Isle and I guess it is only a matter of time until this is shortened to CI. ...
Brian The BakerPeople don't take their time anymore, not even for enjoyment.
Playerspells
Brian The BakerKullu's spells are highly sought after. There are a few minor ones he sold before he became an eremite. And there are rumours about some others.
Playerrumours
Brian The BakerWell for instance there is the ultimate sweetness spell that makes everything taste extremely sweet. Even if you freeze or hit your finger with an hammer it tastes sweet! ...
Brian The BakerOr the refill spell that refills your cup, bottle, bowl etc. as long as there is a tiny bit left in it. Marvels that we will rediscover!
Playername
Brian The BakerI am Brian. Brian the baker, that is.
Playermachines
Brian The BakerWe invented machines that can extract the essence of the cake golems. That is the part that gives them the stability to move and withstand damage and environmental hazards. ...
Brian The BakerWell, actually we had them built by the dwarven technomancers. But it was us who figured out the basic principles! ...
Brian The BakerHowever, whenever a cake golem gets into one of those machines, it gets disassembled in the blink of an eye and we get the enchanted base which we use to build our bridge.
Playersugar
Brian The BakerDo you have some sugar for me? Please note that you can hand me all your sugar at once, if you want to.
Playeryes
Brian The BakerSorry, you don't have the sugar we are looking for. You can loot it from the cake golems.
Playerbye
Brian The BakerGood bye.
