The burning ship

[shane3x]

So I run into the city after fighting the orcs on the beach. Just having a wander around and I notice some civs saying "Our ships on fire come help" and then he runs off. I follow and yes there is a ship on fire and there are lots of guys around screaming various things.

Can I actually do anything about it or will they just continue to run around screaming all day at a infinitely burning ship? Would be cool if we could help out, bit like how Guild Wars 2 lets you grab buckets of water and water plants etc...

[Stabbey]

Yes, you can help out. There is a time limit to do so, the ship will sink if you take too long.

[shane3x]

I couldn't figure out what to do. None of the NPC's were able to be talked too and I didn't see any water buckets or whatever. Clicking the ship didn't help too much either.

Something you found earlier in the game can be used to help put out the fire

rain spell scroll

I see. I never found that so yeah. I assume its in a crate or something prior.

It's on the beach near the body at the start.

I used a fireball to put the ship out.

... No wait... I used the fireball to put the NPC's out of their misery.

LOL that's why I love this game for stuff like that

You can buy rain scrool on ship nearby or you ll use that scrool from dungeon.

[feliscon]

You can use water barrels or a water arrow as well.

This is just one of the many things in this game you need to think outside the box for and illustrates the environmental effects of the game.

Oh dear if you didn't figure this out then you are probably going to have a lot of trouble with other parts of the game.

There are lots of possible answers. But you probably picked up quite a few scrolls of a particular type that could provide an environmental answer against fire. Furthermore, I believe there are also parts of the surrounding area that you may be able to interact with.

Hint: It has to do with weather.

Was this really needed?

Dude I found like 3 or 4 of those rain spell scrolls before I even got to that burning ship...if you are looking around and taking your time then you'll have no problem finding things like that so just stay on the look out and explore! :)

I read this as genuine concern, not condecension (although it is that a bit as well, lol). It's true, this quest (like the tutorial) is meant to get you thinking in a certain way to help you deal with the flexibility and creativeness the game offers. If you miss that lesson it can mean problems later on.

Are you sure you can use a water barrel ? I tried but my character always says the ship is too far to throw the barrel at it.
