" Druella was mine! He knew it . . . that's why he wanted her for himself! Stout and I had always been at odds with one another. But then he challenged me to a duel for her hand. I was infuriated! The pompous pig! Proud I was, so I accepted, even against her protests. Little did I know how truly obsessed with Druella he had become."
-A discussion with Adkin Chambers
The Adkin Chambers and Sir Garrick Stout saga is a tragic Type 4 Love Triangle between the lovers Lady Druella and Adkin Chambers, with the unwanted suitor Sir Garrick Stout vying for the Lady's hand.
Background[]
- Dodge Master Adkin Chambers and Lady Druella the Fair were involved in a romantic relationship
- Melee Master and Captain of the Dernholm Guard Sir Garret Stout desired the Lady for himself, and challenged Chambers to a duel for her hand
- Against His Lady's wishes, and considering himself to be Stout's equal in combat, Chambers accepted
- Chambers lost the duel and was left in a defenseless position
- However when Chambers refused to acknowledge Stout's superiority, Stout viciously blinded him by slashing Chambers' eyes with his sword
- Lady Druella fled the scene, and took refuge nearby at A Lair of Gyr Dolours in a pain-free delirium
- Adkin Chambers went into hiding in the town of Stillwater, becoming a bitter recluse and obsessing about revenge on Stout
- Garrick Stout remained in Dernholm, still seeking a way to woo and claim Druella
Path 1, Dodge Mastery only[]
This path is for players who only desire Dodge Mastery and will NEVER want Melee Mastery
- Obtain Dodge Expert training from either Hekmer Oggdoddler in Black Root or Winde in Qintarra
- Seek out Adkin Chambers in Stillwater
- Accept Chambers' quest to Kill Sir Garrick Stout and bring back Stout's eyes
- Go to Dernholm and complete the task
- Return to Stillwater: your reward is Master Training and 8,500 xp
- Notes:
- This botches ANY attempt for the Melee Mastery quest in the future
- If Stout is killed previous to this, then Chambers will accept your word and train you if you are high enough rank
Path 2, Melee Mastery only[]
This path is for players who only desire Melee Mastery. However they may still obtain Dodge Mastery later (see path 3)
- Seek out Sir Garrick Stout in Dernholm
- Accept his quest to Find Lady Druella with an offer of marriage and return her to Dernholm
- The offer comes with a bribe of a potion to restore the sight of the blinded Adkin Chambers
- Go to the Gyr Dolours' lair which Stout marked on your map
- Rescue Lady Druella without her being killed
- You can convince Druella to return if you tell her (lie or the truth) that you will kill Stout as soon as he provides the Potion
- Return to Dernholm and present Druella to Stout
- Stout will then give Druella the Potion; and your reward is Master Training and 8,500 xp
Path 2, optional continuation[]
This path continues if you accept Lady Druella's Quest
- Upon receiving your training, attack and kill Garrick Stout
- At this point Lady Druella will ask you to Contact Adkin Chambers and deliver the potion to him
- Go to Stillwater and give Chambers the potion
- Your reward is 6,400 xp
Path 3, Dodge and Melee Mastery Together[]
This path is complicated because there are many way to complete it

3B[]
- If you are ready for both Melee and Dodge training, then you can start with either Path 1 or Path 2.
- If you start with Path 2, then just take it to the end
- When you get to Stillwater, get your Dodge Training right after you deliver Druella's potion to Chambers
3C[]
- If you start with Path 1, then just pause it when you meet Stout
- Start Path 2, and follow it to completion, including the optional Lady Druella Quest
