Yeah, pretty much in that order.

Inspect that thing and make sure it gets into a 'quick-slot' while we're at it.

Also, UPDATE!  :o

The flask feels slightly warm to the touch, and slightly heavy. Almost like something is sloshing around inside it, but after giving it a good shake, you can't quite tell for sure. However, it also feels like you were staring off into space for a long time while inspecting the thing, so you pocket the trinket, knowing you probably won't get much more info out of the annoying stranger.


"Thanks, I guess. Now, might as well get started on this quest, since there's nothing better to do..."
"Very well. I wish you luck."
"Yeah, whatever."

She seems polite at least, but you still feel a bit ticked off as you march away. Perhaps it's a sense of having been hoodwinked into some kind of crappy destiny. Still, it's the only direction you've got for now. Before you set off to begin your quest in earnest, you take one more look around.


Looking over the cliff's edge, you see it's a long, long way down. The shore seems to be obscured by some kind of fog, but you can see some huge, jagged rocks rising out of it. Looks like there's also a small ledge about a hundred feet down.



Next you peer out at the statue way off in the distance.



It's humongous, that's for certain, but from this distance you can't really make out many details. From the size of it, it has to be a megaproject, such as only your kind can build.

Perhaps you can take a closer look later, though. For now, you shall seek upwards, and so you begin to climb the rough trail off to the side.


"Good luck!"

It winds up and around the mountain for a long ways. The climb is steep, but your youth and dwarven vigor carry you well on your hike. You tarry up and up for several minutes, with only the cool wind to keep you company, before you come across a sight that gives you pause...

Oh god damn, I'd forgotten this had existed.

I'd say go for the tower.

You decide to first investigate the most interesting thing in sight. After traversing the narrow stone bridge leading to it, you peek inside the tower's doorway.

Hmm... he's facing the window and the stairs are behind him.

I'll go with sneaking and backstab!

He will hear us is the problem, we have the advantage, Lure him into coming onto the stairs, then attack his feet while he fruitlessly tries to attack in the extremely disadvantageous high ground!  Bonus points for attacking while he attacks for Bonus Counter Damage on Piercing Weapons.

And if we hear him coming down the stairs for us, do this:

I see no other outcome than victory from attacking the huge-ass fire man.

I also vote to do this.

Fire, glowing, twice your height, huge sword... yeah, best strike that thing in the back while you can. Hopefully those stairs don't creek...



Slowly...



Carefully...



Almost...




Yes!



Uh-oh. That wasn't as lethal as you'd hoped.



Fortunately, you have a backup plan. That big bastard'll get stuck trying to get down the stairs, and then you'll hack away at his feet-




-Or he could try a plunging attack. Thank the gods for your dodging skills!

Keep rolling until he ends his streaks! Use those dodging skills then!
When he recovers, he's open to attacks.

(Gonna go a bit lighter on the illustrations for the non-boss fights, to make this more manageable. But maybe it'd be better to use quicker, messier illustrations?)



You start running for the ledge. Hopefully you'll be able to maneuver around him in the wider space.





He's pretty fast, but stops short with attacks, giving you ample opportunity to dodge. But as soon as you tense up for the counterattack, he spins around the other way and almost catches you!



You think you see another opening, so-



GRAAAH! Searing pain, right in the face! The thing's glowing hot claws aren't for show, it seems! At least he missed your eyes. You focus through the pain and bring your shield up to catch his follow-through with the sword, and manage to block at just the right moment. With a swing of your arm his strike is deflected and he's wide open for a riposte!



You embed your pick in the gaping, molten maw and spill forth a chunk of molten innards. However, there's still a shred of life left in this thing and it manages to hack you in the shoulder as you dislodge your weapon.



Why, gods, do you suffer a goddamn shoulder-cleave twice in as many hours?? Yet again, though, you manage to focus through the pain and strike the bastard while he's still within reach. With another strike to the collarbone, the thing starts dissolving into a cloud of flame before your eyes. Wincing, you take a step back, dropping your pick to grab at your shoulder.
