Completed the quest "Shaman Rituals"

Dialogs:

NPC:/talk I see, Aranbot witnessed them creating a small quake by channeling lightning, but instead of trying to wake a dragon, they might be using this power to try and hatch an egg.

NPC:/talk That is a very likely assumption now. We managed to squeeze some information out of the Minotaur before he passed out and he revealed that they have a small cave by Lake Dragontear.

NPC:/talk He said they're keeping a gray dragon egg back there, and once a day, a shaman goes to collect it and then they perform a sacred ritual at the heart of the fortress. Must be that lightning ritual.

NPC:/talk You said that Aranbot mentioned not only the lightning and quake, but also an intense magical power being released. That could be in fact their way of recreating the effects of a magic amplifier the Daru use.

NPC:/talk Indeed, that is exactly what I thought when @PC_NAME(0) mentioned the details of the ritual. Either way, a dragon egg in the hands of Minotaurs is a very dangerous thing. A weapon of mass destruction is what they're hatching.

NPC:/talk I suppose it's a small relief to know that at least they're not trying to wake an adult dragon, but rather are hatching a baby. Now we must find a way to stop them from continuing with their plan.

NPC:/talk Stop them? You think you can just walk in there and ask them to stop their rituals? Or slaughter them all? They're not impossibly strong, but there are many of them. You'd need several armies.

NPC:/tlak The Crimson Watch has many capable fighters and we're allied with strong organizations across Erenor. If we ask them to come, they will if it's for such an important reason.

NPC:/talk Sure, you can rally hundreds of people to come and fight against the Minotaurs and their corrupted Wyrmkin, OR you can send in one talented thief.

NPC:/dialogue 1 talented thief who happens to be strong enough to carry an entire dragon egg unnoticed through the entire Dragonroar Fortress?!

NPC:/talk You disappoint me, Estio. After all the realiable conclusions I've drawn so far, you think I haven't already figured out a solution for the egg transport?

NPC:/takl If someone must sneak in there and steal this valuable item, there's no one more qualified for the task than @PC_NAME(0). @PC_NAME(0) was in the Dragonroar Fortress several times and even knows the way to Lake Dragontear.

NPC:/talk It's settled then. @PC_NAME(0) will sneak into the fortress and steal the dragon egg using this Arcane Pouch. The pouch carries a strong spell that reduces an item 10 times, when touched with its opening.
