From the Reign of Terror event.

During a troubled time when the Olthoi menaced the land, a new NPC appeared seeking parts to a machine used to create poison. Speak to him and he'll request a list of parts needing replacement due to the corrosive properties of the poison itself. The Undead Mechanic is found on Marae Lassel at 42.1N, 79.0W.

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Although we are much more powerful than your kind, Isparian, we admit some trepidation about this incursion of Olthoi. Should they burrow too deeply near our sanctuaries ..."
The undead looks down for a moment, avoiding your eyes.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "So. We offer you our aid in repelling these creatures. We have at our disposal the recipe for a potent poison, a poison which can weaken even the Ancient Queen herself. But the poison damages the machine in which it is concocted, and to distill more of this poison we must constantly replace many parts of the machine."
Undead Mechanic gives you Missing Mechanisms.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "This text details the parts we will need. At one time there were stores of these parts cached about the land, but now, with the chaos of the times and your meddling, intrusive ways, Isparian, who knows where the parts may lie?"
Undead Mechanic tells you, "But find them, and bring them to me, and I will reward you with a dose of the poison."

Rumor: Missing Mechanisms

There are 20 alloy pieces scattered in various dungeons throughout Dereth (30 day timer). Originally, when you gave the Undead Mechanic one of the alloy pieces, you would receive Poison in return. This poison was used to ruin the Olthoi Food Stores when Nuhmudira led the attack against the Ancient Queen.

(See the Preparation for the Ritus and the Ancient Olthoi Queen quests.)

You give Undead Mechanic Alloy Engine.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "Ah, yes, one of our mechanisms. Very good. I have always maintained that Isparians must be good for something."
Undead Mechanic gives you Poison.
Undead Mechanic tells you, "Here is your reward. Use it most cautiously, and do not squander it!"

You allow Agent of the Arcanum to examine your Alloy Fan.
Agent of the Arcanum tells you, "What an interesting ... umm ... mechanism! I have no idea what it's for! But you know, those Arcanum Researchers, they've been working with odd metals like this -- you should ask one of them. You can find them in the libraries in Cragstone, Hebian-To, or Zaikhal."

You allow Arcanum Researcher to examine your Alloy Utensil.
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "Well, look at that. Where did you say you found this?"
The Arcanum Researcher studies the mechanism carefully. She rubs it, tries to dent it with a fingernail, even sniffs at the metal.
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "No, I've never seen anything like this. Although ..."
She tilts her head to the side as she thinks.
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "No, I think I do remember something about a metal like this. Something the undead were working on. Hmmm ..."
Arcanum Researcher tells you, "Why don't you ask the Undead Mechanic, by the waterfall on Marae Lassel? Maybe he can tell you something about this ... umm ... mechanism."

After the poison was used on the olthoi food stores and the Ancient Olthoi Queen was defeated, the Undead Mechanic began giving new rewards for the alloy pieces.

Didette of FF reports:

Hi Maggie!

After the Ancient Olthoi Queen retreated, I ran to the mechanic at the base of Plateau in Marae Lassal and turned in my Alloy pieces. In return, I received 19 pages of text (one for each alloy) and a book. In addition, XP was awarded for each piece (7,500xp - 500,000xp).

The mechanic then asks you to assemble the pages into the book and bring it back to him. For your effort, you'll receive an Explorer Title Token as well as an Alloy Machine (may be hooked) and Walking Boots.

Thanks!
-Didette

You give Undead Mechanic Alloy Dynamo.

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Here is your reward -- a page from a great work of our literature. Perhaps it will improve your puny mind."

Undead Mechanic tells you, "Well, I will give you a different page for each different part you bring me, and if you collect them all into a volume, I will exchange that for something more suited to your ... abilities."

You fit the parchment into the binder.
