At the Knight gatestone, climb down
There is a shell on the ground that you can blow shell for a wave to crash on you, unsure if it does anything else.
Room# 21099 move bush - If you are a mage with a small familiar, you can move bush to reveal a down exit, and send your familiar threw the tunnel, pop up on the other side, pull the lever, and open the door for you.
ask alc true
You explain that you need some True Iron for a staff you are trying to make. Krudaar replies that he can probably do that for you with his new Aludel, but he needs an iron bar from the cellar, and asks you to go get it. He tells you to search the hearth to find the way down.
sear heart
You begin to search the hearth.
You find a brick that looks like you can push.
push brick (this is the same way the familiar entered)
You push the brick and an opening opens leading down.
I had to wait for a repop for the bar to appear, but it does appear just lying on the ground.
give bar alch
You give an iron bar to an alchemist.
Krudaar says 'Oh. Yes, alright.'
The Athanor works by great heat and pressure. When Krudaar opens it, you are hit with a wave of heat that is staggering.
The ingot is placed in a special container inside, and then it is sealed back up.
You can see the heat roll off the Athanor in waves, and the thing bulges as if under great pressure.
Krudaar, who is watching the Athanor carefully, says "Uh oh.." and begins to cast a spell. But, it's too late - the Athanor explodes!
The explosion cooks [26] you!
After picking himself up and seeing that you are still alive, he goes over to the ruined Athanor. 'Some of the iron liquified in the proper way into true iron. I'll see how much can be salvaged here' he says.
Pouring what's left of the white-hot iron into the strange looking Aludel, he begins to stir the fluid with a black-stone rod as it cools.
He pours the true iron into several vials, then comes and gives them to you.
Krudaar rages 'The thing must have been flawed. Arrggh! It is going to take me quite a while to replace it.
vial of liquid metal (vial of true iron)
TODO: Unsure how to fix his broken machine afterwards ☹
