You're Just Not Strong Enough - Levels 10 to 15

When we spoke last time, you had just hit level 10 and were heading back to Sanctuary to speak with Osgood again. Of course, once you go back, he wants you to do him a couple of favors first. Surprised? I thought not. He needs you to go help his friend Sandbur first. Sandbur is a Changeling that looks like he's seen far better days. To be honest, he kind of looks like an undead pixie zombie at first. Osgood said he was a friend and you really want that wand, so suck it up, plug your nose, and get down to it.

Not only does Sandbur look a little dead, he also seems to have the concentration of a zombie. He says he needs to finish his research before... something... he doesn't say. He asks that you go into the Forgotten Caves to recover the transfiguring crystals from the arcanus. You're not sure what they are, or what they'll do, but you can't turn down a chance to explore a place with a name like the Forgotten Caves, can you? Of course you can't.

Aside from looking astoundingly cool, there's nothing special of note about the battles you'll fight within the Caves. Upon your return, Sandbur looks not only surprised, but more alert and excited, as though it's been longer than anyone can remember since he had a glimmer of hope. With more than a hint of desperation in his voice, he asks that you travel to the swamps of Blackspore to seek out his research partner, Iliya. He says she'll know what to do with them.

Not every place in Free Realms is bright and shiny. Blackspore is a perfect example of such a place that isn't. With rolling mist, smelly swamps, and an exorbitant number of things that go bump in the night, the Blackspore Swamps are not to be tread by those of weak will. It doesn't take long to find Iliya near the heart of the swamp. She sounds surprised when you mention Sandbur's name and you see a hint of sadness in her eyes when she whispers that he was brilliant once.
