== Coran ==
=== "Amelia" ===
* Enter the Firewine Bridge area with Coran in your party. After a short while, he initiates conversation to tell you he saw a lovely woman to the east and wants to look for her. Agree to do so, or else the quest ends.
* The ghost woman Amelia initiates conversation on the right side of the bridge, near the dungeon entrance. She claims that she took an oath to give a rose to her betrothed Natan, but cannot fulfill it because he went missing in the nearby dungeons which she cannot enter – so she wants you to do it for her.Even though her story seems suspect upon further questioning, Coran is smitten and insists on helping her. There are multiple ways you can approach this:
* PATH 1: Do Amelia's task.
:* Tell her that you'll do it, and she hands you the "Withered Roses"Item code X#COWIRO. with instructions to get them restored at a temple first.
:** ALTERNATIVE: say that you don't believe her or refuse to help her. Coran leaves the party, accepts the roses, and starts the task by himself. You can then rejoin with him at the Beregost Temple area, and continue this quest path from there.
:* Travel to the Beregost Temple area, and talk to priestess Rashel who walks around outdoors, in or near the main building's courtyard.She restores the roses for 200 (or for free if you tell her it's for a good deed), turning them into "Red Roses"Item code X#COFRRO..She also offers to bless Coran for an extra 100 ; whether you accept this bonus offer has only a miniscule effectIn the next step, it allows Coran to resist the urge to immediately run to Amelia. But since you'll want to confront Amelia anyway at that point, it doesn't matter. on the quest.
:* Enter the Firewine Ruins dungeon. Natan initiates dialog near the bottom-right entrance. The presence of the red roses forces him to give you the "Multicolored Powders"Item code X#CODYE1. for Amelia against his will. He insists that Amelia is evil, but he can't resist her and runs off to be with her.Coran mayIt depends on whether you had Rashel bless him, and how you responded when he was first pricked by the roses' thorn. also immediately run to Amelia, or he may be able to resist the urge for up to two more hours.
:* Exit the dungeon and face Amelia at the Firewine Bridge again. You lose control of Coran, as both he and Natan are now fully under Amelia's spell. It turns out she's not a ghost, but a succubus. Talk to her, and she demands you hand over the powders:
:** CHOICE: Give her the powders without negotiating.She teleports away and takes the two thieves with her – which means you lose Coran forever. You receive and a magic amulet"Amulet of an Apprentice Mage" (1 bonus wizard spell for spell levels 1-3), item code X#COAMUL.
:** CHOICE: Give her the powders in exchange for information.If your protagonist hasn't yet learned about his or her true nature (which will be revealed as part of the game's main plot), you can ask her for "the truth" and then bargain the powders for this knowledge. She only gives you a vague answer, teleports away, and takes the two thieves with her – which means you lose Coran forever. You receive , but no item reward.
:** CHOICE: Give her the powders in exchange for the hostages.She teleports away, while Coran and Natan stay and regain control of their senses. You receive and a magic amulet.
:** CHOICE: Kiss her.If your protagonist is male, you can ask her for "the truth", then suggest "a bit of a reward", and then accept her offer to kiss. Your protagonist dies instantly, ending the game.
:** CHOICE: Fight her.Threaten to kill her, and she attacks – along with Coran and Natan. Defeat her (5,000 + ), and Coran turns friendly again and rejoins the party (assuming he survived). You can loot Amelia's body for her magic ring"Succubus' Toe Ring" (evil only; +1 CHA; Dire Charm 1/day), item code X#SUCRIN..
:* If you saved Natan, talk to him again. You learn that the dungeon was deliberately warded against Amelia, so that she wouldn't get the powders that would allow he planar travel, and that Amelia magically enslaved him using the roses.If you demand a reward, you receive 4 potionsPotion of Master Thievery, Potion of Mind Focusing, Potion of Regeneration, Potion of Storm Giant Strength and ; otherwise you receive .
* PATH 2: Do Natan's task.
:* Tell Amelia that you don't believe her, or simply refuse her task. Coran leaves the party to attempt her task alone. (Don't worry, you can get him back after the quest.)Alternatively, lie that you'll do her task to prevent Coran from leaving.
:* Enter the Firewine Ruins dungeon. Natan initiates dialog near the bottom-right entrance. Tell him that you've met Amelia, and he explains how she magically enslaved him using the roses, and optionally, that the dungeon was deliberately warded against her so that she wouldn't get powders which allow he planar travel.He wants you to kill Amelia – agree to do so.
:** ALTERNATIVE: If instead you tell him he must die, he turns hostile. After defeating him, you can loot the "Multicolored Powders" off his body, and use them to negotiate with Amelia as in the path 1 ending (see above).
:* Talk to Amelia at the Firewine Bridge again, and tell her she must die. She turns hostile; Defeat her (5,000 + ), and make sure to loot her body for her magic ring.
:** ALTERNATIVE: If instead you double-cross Nate by telling Amelia about him, she gives you a new task: To kill Nate and retrieve the powders he carries. See the previous "Alternative" note for how this plays out.
:* Return to Natan in the dungeon. He initiates conversation, takes Amelia's ring, and thanks you.If you demand a reward, you receive 4 potionsPotion of Master Thievery, Potion of Mind Focusing, Potion of Regeneration, Potion of Storm Giant Strength and ; otherwise you receive .
