Asura[edit]
Zojja Dragon Bash in Lion's Arch <Player name>, Dragon Bash? Dragon? Bash? I'm beside myself with confusion and rage. Do those bilge-swilling simpletons in Lion's Arch think any public amusement featuring dragons is a well-thought out idea? I hear they've decorated with a dragon hologram flying above the city. Isn't that just festive of them? I swear, if it looks like Kralkatorrik, I'll devote the rest of my life to ruining that sea-soaked burg for trivializing Snaff's death. Good thing I don't have to step foot in there to smash dragon pinatas, burn effigies, and battle dragon holograms. I hear they're scattering pinatas in the cities and the rest around outside. That's acceptable, but only just. Why don't you head to Lion's Arch and watch this disaster unfold. It's always good to have a laugh at someone else's idiocy[Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and speak with members of the Ship's Council to learn about Dragon Bash.] [Show Me] |
Charr[edit]
Rytlock Brimstone New Orders: Dragon Bash in Lion's Arch <Player name>, No doubt you've heard reports that Lion's Arch is throwing itself a party. Fancy that, a bunch of shady pirates celebrating themselves. Guess they win medals for getting through a day and not spilling their grog. Heard they'll have fireworks too. Ridiculous. Once you see Iron Legion cannons rip into the night, nothing else will do. Pfah! They've already started scattering pinatas inside the major cities, and hologram boxes and effigies around outside. So at least we can celebrate close to home. Most interesting to me is the Dragon Ball combat arena inside Lion's Arch. Enter and show no mercy, soldier. Given your recent valor on the battlefield, you've earned some leave. Go blow off some stream. Just don't misbehave and end up in the brig. You're a proud member of the Legions, after all.—Rytlock Brimstone, Blood Legion Tribune [Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and speak with members of the Ship's Council to learn about Dragon Bash.] [Show Me] |
Human[edit]
Captain Logan Thackeray Dragon Bash in Lion's Arch <Player name>, After working so hard to defend Tyria, we could use some fun. Just in time, the Ship's Council of Lion's Arch is hosting a "Dragon Bash" festival to celebrate our victories–past, present, and future–against the Elder Dragons. I've overheard a few Seraph talking about Dragon Ball, which is a competitive combat arena, and moa race betting. Both should draw quite a crowd in Lion's Arch. I've heard they're having giveaways and plenty of activities to occupy your time and mind. I know they've already placed pinatas inside Divinity's Reach and other cities, and there's hologram boxes and dragon effigies outside. I just hope they don't make too much of a mess. Bash some dragons for me.[Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and speak with members of the Ship's Council to learn about Dragon Bash.] [Show Me] |
Norn[edit]
Eir Stegalkin Dragon Bash in Lion's Arch <Player name>, I hear the people of Lion's Arch are hosting a moot, one that features dragons. It's called Dragon Bash, and the city elders are giving visitors a chance to take their fear and rage out on dragon holograms spread across Tyria. If you're itching for a fight, they've built an arena for the ancient game of Dragon Ball. Or you could call on Raven's luck at the moa races. I spotted a pinata, a hologram box, and some effigies in the area surrounding Hoelbrak, and I heard the outlying areas around other cities had them too. Nice of them to include us. Head to the center of festivities in Lion's Arch and revel. We must, once in a while, or we end up with nothing but and darkness as our friends. Perhaps I'll see you there.[Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and speak with members of the Ship's Council to learn about Dragon Bash.] [Show Me] |
Sylvari[edit]
Caithe Dragon Bash in Lion's Arch <Player name>, Have you heard of the peculiar Dragon Bash festival taking place in Lion's Arch? Surely, they can't be celebrating dragons? The details I've gathered are few. The Lion's Arch Ship's Council has put together entertainments and other frivolties both in the city and around the world. I've heard there are fast-running moas you can wager on, and the city's night sky will be painted with fire and light. How exciting! Oh, and they've scattered pinatas in our city and others, and there are hologram boxes and dragon effigies scattered all over outside. They're very thoughtful. I just hope that no drakes eat the gifts and get indigestion. Of course, I've never understood organized gatherings. Perhaps you might find it interesting. I cannot make it to Lion's Arch to discover what the fuss is about, but you should. You can tell me all about it sometime.[Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and speak with members of the Ship's Council to learn about Dragon Bash.] [Show Me] |
Dragon Bash: Effigy Ceremony[edit]
Before Ceremony and Acrimony[edit]
Council Threat <Player name>, You may not know me, but I know you. I'm calling upon you because you're capable in the face of danger. If you consider yourself a force for good in this world, then I implore you to attend the Dragon Bash ceremony in Lion's Arch. I've heard whispers about a threat to the Ship's Council and, if left unchecked, to the city itself. I'd intervene myself, but circumstances prevent it. I'd wish you luck, but luck is what fools and idiots require to stay alive. You, I believe, are neither. I will surely contact you again,—E [Go to the Grand Piazza in Lion's Arch and talk to the Lionguard at the ceremony stage to attend the Dragon Bash effigy ceremony.] [Show Me] |
Before Hard Boiled[edit]
E Seek out Marjory Delaqua <Player name>, The situation has worsened. One of the Lion's Arch councillors, Theo Ashford, has succumbed to his wounds. The Lionguard is keeping the news quiet while the festival continues, but they're overwhelmed trying to maintain security in the city. At this very moment, a killer walks free, and this cannot be allowed. Go to Divinity's Reach, to the Eastern Commons. There, in a back alley bar called the Dead End, you'll find one of the best investigative minds in Tyria, Marjory Delaqua. She will need your help to find those behind the councillor's death. Tell her E sent you. Work with her, sift through the clues, and solve the crime. I will surely contact you again,—E [Find Marjory Delaqua in the Dead End bar, Eastern Commons, Divinity's Reach.] [Show Me] |
After exiting The Scene of the Crime instance[edit]
Marjory Delaqua Suspects Located <Player name>, The Lionguard have tracked down three of the five missing suspects. I'd love to get lost in this mystery, but I must remain in Lion's Arch. I need someone who can travel to interrogate the suspects. I barely know you, but your reputation precedes you. Will you be my legs and ears on the ground? Do what you can to convince these suspects to return to Lion's Arch, and take good notes if they say anything. Here's where you can start: - We've discovered footprints from the ogre suspect Vorrk leaving the crime scene in Lion's Arch. Follow them. —Marjory [Search for tracks of Vorrk leaving the crime scene in Lion's Arch.] [Show Me] Morraloo Kasparak |
Beginning June 20, 2013[edit]
Marjory Delaqua, Delaqua Investigations Last Two Suspects Found <Character name>, Inspector Kiel and her Lionguard have tracked down the last two suspects. As with the previous three, I leave it to you to handle the questioning. Here are our leads: - The kodan suspect, Trembling Song, has been spotted in Snowden Drifts at the Lost Child's Sorrow camp. I've been examining the clues already covered. The Tassi box uncovered trace elements with magical properties. I'm not sure yet, but my guess us that these components formed a compound that turned the effigy into a deathtrap. I think our last two suspects hold the final pieces to this puzzle. Whatever you discover, return to the crime scene in Lion's Arch afterward so we can share our findings. Be wary, trust your instincts, stay alive.—Marjory [Interrogate Trembling Song at Lost Child's Sorrow in northeast Snowden Drifts.] Show Me Astorra |
Sky Pirates: Aetherblade Attack[edit]
Lionguard Inspector Ellen Kiel Aetherblade Lair Located <Character name>, The Aetherblade scoundrels have a base inside Lion's Arch! I need deputies for a raid on their hideout. Consider yourself deputized. Head to the base of the waterfall at Diverse Ledges as soon as you can.—Lionguard Inspector Ellen Kiel Show Me |
Sky Pirates: Aetherblade Hideouts[edit]
Lionguard Inspector Ellen Kiel Second Aetherblade Site <Character name>, There's a second Aetherblade lair at Broadhollow Bluffs in Gendarran Fields. It's a death trap, but it's filled with treasure. Let's give these pirates a taste of their own medicine. Plunder their lair. If we can clean them out then they'll think twice about setting up shop again.—Lionguard Inspector Ellen Kiel Show Me |
Lionguard Inspector Ellen Kiel Honors <Character name>, your name now appears on a list of those who have come to the defense of Lion's Arch. We keep this prestigious list to honor anyone who defended the city. The first name on the list is, of course, Cobiah Marriner. It also serves as a list of those the Ship's Council considers allies and who may be called upon to help again in a time of crisis. You'll be pleased to know that Mai has been imprisoned in Fort Marriner. Se won't be troubling anyone else for a long while. I hope we can work again in the future. —Inspector Ellen Kiel of the Lionguard Show Me |
