All the World's a Stage

All the World's a Stage is a quest .
==Summary==
The attack on the Russos at The Rose Room triggered a psychotic breakdown in Abbie Russo, forcing the family to improvise. The only way to help her is to acquire a dose of the Devil's Blood, a designer drug she's currently suffering withdrawals from. But that is a luxury only found at the Atlantic City...
==Quick walkthrough==
* Head to the Whitespring Refuge and talk to Orlando to secure transport.
* Travel to Casino Quarter and talk to Evelyn Russo to learn that Stanley Soriano is the lead.
* Acquire access to the high rollers lounge at The Neapolitan Casino.
* Talk to Stanley Scoriano and strike a deal regarding the Devil's Blood.
* Head to the Atlantic City Boardwalk and reach the Showman's Pier.
* Infiltrate the backstage and complete the performance, then humiliate Zayde.
* Return to the Russos to dose Abbie up.
==Detailed walkthrough==
In order to reach the City, the dwellers need to make the appropriate travel arrangements. The only method of travel that has the right reach is Lennox's Vertibird at the Whitespring Refuge. However, they first need to secure permission from Orlando in order to get the ultracells for the flight. Arriving at the refuge, Evelyn talks to Orlando and tries to persuade them to clear the flight to Acee. The player character proves the decisive factor (assuming they've completed Responders Reborn; Vin will react to mentioning this, as well as completing any one expedition).
While at the refuge, the player can also talk with Jeremiah Hopkins, who extolls the wonders of Atlantic City as one of the few cities to survive the nuclear war unscathed. There are several checks the player can use:
* Charisma 8+ allows them to inquire about the actual threats in Acee, which will foreshadow the Overgrown.
* Perception 8+ allows asking him about what really caused him to flee Atlantic City and pick up work as an advertiser on behest of the Munis. He'll reveal he saw something unnatural. 
* Endurance 8+ allows for an attempt to inspire him. He will thank the dweller, but will openly admit that he's a coward.
Once permission is secured, Lennox can be interacted with to fly to Atlantic City. 
===Seeking Stanley===
She will deposit the entire team in the Casino Quarter, and offer some minor pointers on where to have fun - as well as reveal that she would gladly participate in the drinking and partying, but she only has one Vertibird. Evelyn will speak up and give a rundown on the situation, noting that a fellow by the name of Stanley Soriano is the best lead for acquiring a dose of the Devil's Blood. The next question is simple: Reaching Stanley.
Soriano is located in the high rollers lounge of The Neapolitan Casino. Entering it requires either convincing the door guard that the dwellers are there to keep their friend, Stanley, out of trouble with Charisma 8+, navigating the backrooms of the Casino, or simply shooting him in the face.
Inside, the dwellers witness Stanley almost getting cheated at a poker game, which ends up in a bloody confrontation and one more corpse in Acee. Luckily, it's not Stanley. Talking to him reveals that he's a hopeless gambling addict, who got misled by an AI about gambling odds and that the odds of winning increase the more he plays. The dwellers can point out the gambler's fallacy to him with Intelligence 4+. More importantly, Stanley offers a deal: Sending a message to Zayde, one of The Showmen, in return for a taste of the Devil's Blood. Alternatively, it may be possible to purchase it for 10,000 caps, persuading him with Charisma 8+, or completing Tax Evasion beforehand, though it doesn't seem to be implemented on the PTS.
This is a way to get around the limitations of the peace deal between the triads, with the dweller(s) as patsies. However, it's the only way to acquire a sample of the exclusive drug. It's on to the Atlantic City Boardwalk. The player needs to reach the entrance to Showman's Pier, where the entry is barred by the greatest obstacle of any questing hero: The ticket clerk. A ticket can be purchased for XXX caps or the clerk persuaded with Charisma X to be let in for free.
===Clowning around===
Once inside, it's time to head backstage. As it turns out, the star clown is late to arrive, giving the dweller an opportunity to stand in for them and experience the life of a Showman. In order to progress, they need to equip both the clown hat and costume inside the backstage dressing room, and head to the stage. 
The show requires the players to introduce themselves, picking a clown name (John Lickety Split, Asbestos elicit boos, Quigley the Clown, Petunia, Slinky, Twinkle Frown Dinkle Bop Buttercup or Spudley cheers), and then telling jokes, which require Charisma/Intelligence X to make the audience happy, and terminates in pie throwing with the other clowns and a bout of grenade juggling. After the opening act, the dwellers head backstage for a break and run into Evelyn, who's determined to show up the Showmen for kicking her off the show over her unwillingness to risk life and limb in her stunts.
In the dialogue, the players can choose whether to influence Evelyn's attitude positively or negatively. She will agree to stand down and reveal that Zayde is unwilling to risk getting killed on stage, and wears a stab-proof vest underneath his clown costume. This allows for a non-lethal resolution to this part of the quest.
The player returns to the stage with Zayde, who's starring in a knife throwing stunt. The players can choose to aim for the head (killing him instantly), torso (which reveals his duplicitous nature and lack of artistic integrity), or hit the limbs repeatedly. Once Zayde is dealt with, Dimples the Clown appears, leading to a violent confrontation on stage, with the show crashed. 
Leaving the venue and returning to The Neapolitan Casino completes the Acee part of the quest, as Stanley holds up his end of the bargain and gives the dwellers the Blood of the Devil. Once it's collected, Lennox returns the party to Appalachia, where it's a short trip to The Rose Room to dose Abbie up. 
Vin knows this is only a temporary solution, so he asks the dwellers to go and talk to his father, Antonio Russo, to figure out if he remembers anything that can help with creating an antidote for the Devil's Blood.
