Contract Execution

Good to see you again. I've found out some interesting things about the type of metal used to construct this plate, but I haven't been able to determine what's inside. Apparently, we need to decode the password. As much as I hate to admit it, I think we need Nikola's help to solve this riddle. Would you go visit him for me?

• "Of course."

I've been studying the metal plate you brought me. I'm very pleased that I can continue my research...

(Only characters level 41 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

It seems that this metal plate is actually an ancient recording device used in a research lab in the Tower of Cruma. Please tell that to Nikola, and ask him to help us solve the password.

Did you visit Nikola? To continue our research, we need to solve the password so we can access the secrets of the metal plate. Please hurry!

Why have you come to see me? Are you interested in my blueprints? Bah! I will have nothing to do with the likes of you. Begone!

Why have you come to see me? Are you interested in my blueprints?

• "Nikola recommended that I come here in order to decode the password of the metal plate."

Why should I do this? Please do not bother me!

• Show him the items.

Hmmm...what's this?!

Alright, let me see that! You want me to decode the password on this metal plate, eh? Well, well...let's see what I can do...

• Hand him the metal plate and other items.

Give me the plate and I will see what I can do...

• Hand him the metal plate and other items.

Hmm... This will take some time. Come back later -- I don't want you looking over my shoulder while I work!

I have been waiting for you. Do you have some good news for me?

• Ask him to decode the password on the metal plate.

Oh! Is this the research log?

I'm afraid that cryptography is not my specialty. However, I know a Dwarf that can help you.

• "Who is it? Tell me."

His name is Luka, a seller of blueprints at the smithy in the town of Oren. I'm only slightly acquainted with him, but I am sure that he will be able to decode this password. I feel I must warn you, though -- he is somewhat lazy and is unlikely to help you without some kind of compensation.

I know he is passionate about the accessories worn by Leto Lizardmen found on the Plains of the Lizardmen. Get those accessories for him and I am sure he will help.
