Holy Celestia, I spent the last month getting through this fodder and look what happens. Okay Adventurers, you want a challenge? I'll give you a challenge.

First off, I've managed to secure the Salts and Flux from the Chimeras, so don't need to thank me on that part. It saves you all a battle. Secondly, I've read up on some literature of my predecessor, Gerolt the First and he had a unique method of creating stuff. Something about forging in the Fires of Mount Not-Quite-Doom or some dung like that.

In any case, what I need is stuff to recreate that level of inferno for my forging. The Excalipoor broke down really well, but now I can't reforge it into your equipment, let alone the base stuff. So here's the deal: you have that Canterlot Archives right? I'm too big to get in there so I need you Adventurers to go in there for me.

Go get me a White-Hot Coal and several chunks of Hyperfused Ore. I'm sure they're down there, Star Swirl brought a lot over here after all. The last bit I'll have to keep looking: this book is freaking tiny and I have big claws.

Get the first of them by next Monday and we'll consider our business continued.

(ooc: the first of the battles will go up this weekend)
