Lore/Story Tick Tock (quest)

I think the whole clock tower thing is kind of outdated so I made a quest for it. I get that it's supposed to be a secret mini adventure but nobody ever really talks about it plus I see it as a nice opportunity to introduce some new time lore


Tick tock (level 75)

Talk to Clock Engineer at Letvus Airbase

Clock Engineer: I can't seem to find a way into this clock...
Clock Engineer: Oh, hello! Would you mind helping me?
Clock Engineer: You see, the clock behind this wall has been broken for years
Clock Engineer: The mayor of Cinfras has finally asked me to fix it, but I have a major problem.
Clock Engineer: I can't get in...
Clock Engineer: I've tried destroying this wall with an axe, but it seems impenetrable.
Clock Engineer: Can you investigate the area near this clock? I would appreciate it..

Look around the clock to find a way in

(there is a sign nearby that says: For entry to the clock, one must first get an enchanted clock. The quest Deja Vu now gives you this, and you can get the clock from Asher if you have already done the quest. You must then give the clock to Clock Engineer)

Clock Engineer: What's this? An old clock? What am I supposed to do with this?
Clock Engineer: Have the damn thing back and stop joking.
As you take the clock back, a note falls out. Maybe it can help you?

(the note says: The true way to enter rests upon the old clock tower near Llevigar)

Go to the clock tower at Llevigar Plains

Note: 8 Busted clocks in unison open the way
Note: When united, make your way up this tower
Note: The clocks are in: The quartz city, the mighty quarry
Note: The swamp settlement and the village in the shades of darkness.
Note: The decayed town and the home of the hole people
Note: The elven valley and the grand city.

Search these locations for clocks

(this is dialogue that appears when you enter each area)

You get the feeling that the clock is near the prison...

You hear some bandits nearby heading back to their village. They say something about a busted clock..

You hear ticking from the watchtower...

Ceyquin seems to be mumbling about a busted clock of some kind...

As you enter the Shiar, you see some hobbits talking about a broken clock

You notice that Daxand is annoyed about something...

You hear ticking from a house that is next to the lexdale gate...

(After getting each clock, you return to the clock tower and do the parkour into the clock room and do the puzzle thing that you usually do in the area. These are dialogues when you enter each room.)

Acanit: A mortal? How did they find us?
Tempus: You have freed me. Prepare to die.
Time Travelling Machinery: Must report back to Corkus, 1230 AP. Activating Defense Protocol.
The Eternal Beast: ROOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!
Temporal Mender: Time is broken.. I must repair it.. You are standing in my way? I'm sorry for what I'm about to do...
Temporal Devourer: Must destroy more time... So hungry...
Jupiter: Mortal fool. Begone from this domain.
Kronos: Ah, a human. So you intend to fix the clock at Cinfras? Sure, why not. It will be your end anyway.
Kronos: If you somehow survive this mission then I will allow you to return here as much as you want, there's a good reward for it!
Fate: Come at us, challenger!

Return to Cinfras clock tower with the golden clock

Clock Engineer: Another stupid old clock? Quit joki-
(The door opens)
Clock Engineer: Interesting. Go in and see what's inside for me. Take your clock back.

Enter the clock mechanism

???: Ah, so we meet again...
???: Come and face me if you wish to repair this clock. I have been defending it for a long time.

(there is a parkour up some clock parts)

???: Welcome to the repair room
Old Man Martyn: It's me. Old man Martyn. And I have to explain myself.
Old Man Martyn: I am an Olm. We used to live in a land beyond Wynn, until a great evil emerged from the dark realm.
Old man Martyn: We moved into Time Valley and lived there for many years, while the darkness consumed the land we once lived in. Many of us died, but Time Valley was a safe place.
Old Man Martyn: That is until the humans broke into the Nether Portal
Old Man Martyn: The corrupt spread across wynn and almost extincted my race
Old Man Martyn: I am one of the last remaining Olm, and if you have ever wondered why the corruption isn't spreading, this is why.
Old Man Martyn: You see, this clock is more than just your usual clock. It controls the spread of dark itself.
Old Man Martyn: The people of Cinfras were too cheap and instead of building a new clock, they stole one from the Clock Tower in Llevigar Plains. As long as this clock ticks, the darkness spreads. And I have stopped it in order to halt the corruption. It shall move once more when the darkness is stopped.
Clock Engineer: Is everything alright in here?
Old Man Martyn: Hello! I'm here to defend this clock. It is not to operate.
Clock Engineer: How dare you! I'm being paid 70 liquified emeralds to fix it! WHY WON'T YOU LET ME FIX IT?!
Old Man Martyn: As long as this clock moves, so does the corruption. I had to pause it.
Clock Engineer: I DON'T CARE! BEGONE FOOLISH OLD MAN!!
Old Man Martyn: It appears I am forced to use my powers against you. I'm sorry, [Playername], but I have to kill you as well. As long as you're present, this clock is open. It must be done.

Old Man Martyn: Each time you defeat him, you get one. With it, you can purchase a piece of a special set..
Clock Engineer: I'm sure we can come to a compromise. Maybe I could just put a big flat corkian clock over the one I'm trying to repair. They'll never know! Hah!
Old Man Martyn: That's a preferable option. But I must warn you, the corruption still spreads, even when this clock is paused.
Old Man Martyn: It's just very slow. You need to stop it, fast. The greedier people are, the faster it will go.
Old Man Martyn: Good luck on your adventures, [Playername], I'm counting on you...
