Not a Mere Maid

Not a Mere Maid is the third and final part of the Dilatory Distress equipment quest line and introduces the boss known as the Adva, the Usurping Mermaid. The quest can be purchased from the Quest shop for 400 gold once the prequel, Creatures of the Crevasse has been completed. The player also receives a copy of the quest scroll for completing Part 2 of the quest line, Creatures of the Crevasse.

Description
You follow the mantis shrimps deep into the Crevasse, and discover an underwater fortress. Princess Adva, escorted by more watery skulls, awaits you inside the main hall. "My father has sent you, has he not? Tell him I refuse to return. I am content to stay here and practice my sorcery. Leave now, or you shall feel the wrath of the ocean's new queen!" Adva seems very adamant, but as she speaks you notice a strange, ruby pendant on her neck glowing ominously... Perhaps her delusions would cease should you break it?

Objective(s)
Defeat Adva, the Usurping Mermaid

On Completion
Finally, you manage to pull the bewitched pendant from Adva's neck and throw it away. Adva clutches her head. "Where am I? What happened here?" After hearing your story, she frowns. "This necklace was given to me by a strange ambassador - a lady called 'Tzina'. I don't remember anything after that!

Back at Dilatory, Manta is overjoyed by your success. "Allow me to reward you with this trident and shield! I ordered them from @aiseant and @starsystemic as a gift for Adva, but... I'd rather not put weapons in her hands any time soon.
