Objectives

Practice using Polymorph against Herbert and Grunt Throg.

• Speak with Herbert to begin sparring
• Practice Polymorph with Herbert or Throg

Description

I can't send you off without making sure you can cast Polymorph correctly.

Why, if you messed it up you may transform someone into something completely different!

I want to make sure I'm around to take notes if that happens.

Let's see... ah, Throg will do nicely! I can spot a prime test subject from a mile away.

Shall we begin?

Rewards

You will receive:

• Money
• XP

Progress

This will be so exciting! Let me know when you're ready to test polymorph.

Completion

You've got the hang of Polymorph. Make sure to use it whenever you're faced with more than one foe!

Notes

Speak to Herbert

 I'm ready to practice polymorph.

Herbert Gloomburst says: Throg, assist me. We will both attack <name> and teach them how to use Polymorph.

Herbert and Throg make their way onto the paved area in front of the Ogre Ruins.

Grunt Throg says: I'd rather not be turned into a sheep.

Herbert Gloomburst says: That's the kind of thinking that prevents learning!

If you use a damaging spell instead of Polymorph:

Herbert Gloomburst says: You've got two foes attacking you now. Even the odds with Polymorph!

Herbert polymorphed

Grunt Throg says: I know this tactic. You keep one foe polymorphed while you focus on the other.

Grunt Throg says: Hitting your enemy will break the spell. Attack Herbert to get him back to normal.

Attack Herbert:

Herbert Gloomburst says: You're a loose cannon, recruit. I'm impressed! Let's get back to camp.

Herbert and Throg head back to the Horde Camp.

OR...

Throg polymorphed

Herbert Gloomburst says: Observe! Your polymorphed foe will wander around. Use that time to finish off whoever is left.

Herbert Gloomburst says: I suppose you'd better hit Throg to break the spell.

Attack Throg:

Grunt Throg says: I don't think I learned anything from that.

Herbert Gloomburst says: Well I wasn't teaching you, now was I?

Herbert and Throg head back to the Horde Camp.
