## Quest Dialogue

* **Player**: *Is there something I can help you with?*
* **Gourmet**: *What? Who is there? Ultimate plan? I don't have an ultimate plan.*
* **Player**: *You literally just said that you did.*
* **Gourmet**: *Agh, you're got sharp senses. You've seen right through me.*
* **Gourmet**: *In fact, I do have an ultimate plan. It starts with this one scrap of paper!*
* **Player**: *That's great to know.*
* **Gourmet**: *In the right hands, this recipe could bring civilization to its knees.*
* **Player**: *...*
* **Gourmet**: *But the world watches greedily. I must work unsuspected.*
* **Gourmet**: *Will you aid me in fetching the elements for my legendary concoction?*
* **Narrator**: *Take on the legendary recipe?*

 *(1. Yes)* Quest starts
 *(2. No)*
* **Player**: *I'm not that hungry.*
* **Gourmet**: *But... I thought you could be my pawn...*

*(\*Conversation Ends\*)*
I don't know about you, but I sure am curious about this legendary concoction! Let's help the Gourmet.
* **Player**: *Yeah sure, legendary recipe, why not?*
* **Gourmet**: *Excellent! I've always wanted and evil minion!*
* **Gourmet**: *First, you must visit three people that have the ingredients I am missing!*
* **Gourmet**: *Farmer Harvey, for the Kernels of Unrest...*
* **Gourmet**: *Sheila the Milkmaid, for the Spread of Slavering Madness...*
* **Gourmet**: *And the dread Baroness, for her Kettle of Sacrifice!*
* **Gourmet**: *Harvey and Sheila both live to the southwest in the town of Cent, near where adventurer's learn the basics.*
* **Gourmet**: *The Baroness is not much further, you will find her in Zamok Castle to the north of Cent.*
* **Gourmet**: *No go, slave! Perform my work, that mankind may kneel to the will of the Gourmet!*

O-kay. What a strange man. Anyway, let's head to Zamok Castle first and speak with the Baroness.
* **Baroness**: *Let me guess - my son sent you?*
* **Baroness**: *You're got the look of someone swept up in one of this world-ending schemes.*
* **Player**: *I'm looking for a... Kettle of Sacrifice?*
* **Baroness**: *Yes, yes. I noticed it got mixed up with my things when I traveled here. You can grab it from the shelves on the wall over there.*
* **Baroness**: *Sweet boy. With the Baron gone, I'm afraid I've little time to play with him anymore.*
* **Baroness**: *I'm glad he's found a new friend.*

Fascinating. Let's 'Inspect' the small set of shelves in the room indicated to us by the Baroness:
* **Narrator**: *You see a suitable 'Kettle of Sacrifice' alongside normal things.*
* **Narrator**: *A steel pot, scarred black from use. Gnarly.*
* **Narrator**: *You pick it up. It's perfect for Gourmet's black magic.*

Er .. okay. looks like a bucket but we don't judge. Now let's go talk to Sheila.
* **Narrator**: *The milkmaid stops her churning.*
* **Sheila**: *What can I do you for?*
* **Player**: *I'm collecting ingredients for... a secret partner.*
* **Sheila**: *Gourmet, is it? There's a surprise.*
* **Sheila**: *What does he need?*
* **Narrator**: *The recipe calls for 'The Spread of Slavering Madness'.*
* **Player**: *Any 'Spread of Slavering Madness'?*
* **Sheila**: *Of course! I keep some aside just in case Gourmet needs a fix.*
* **Sheila**: *He's nice, isn't he? Just a bit...*
* **Player**: *Intense?*
* **Sheila**: *That's a good way of putting it.*
* **Sheila**: *Right, back to my churning!*

It's .. butter. I don't ... no. No we can't judge. Let's see Harvey now for the last ingredient.
* **Harvey**: *Howdy, friend, how are ya?*
* **Player**: *I'm... alright.*
* **Player**: *You don't happen to have any...*
* **Player**: *...Kernels of Unrest, do you?*
* **Harvey**: *I'm the best supplier -- feel free to pick some in the yard. These for Gourmet?*
* **Player**: *Yes! How did you know?*
* **Harvey**: *It's one thing after another with that boy. Ever since that business with his pa..."*

Looks like we need to harvest some corn. We need normal quality, as L.Q. or H.Q. won't work for this infernal recipe! Once you have 2, head on back to Gourmet to show him what we got.
* **Gourmet**: *Finally...*
* **Player**: *I know, that was quite the walk on my end.*
* **Gourmet**: *My pawn, you have done well. All three ingredients are mine, and the world is none the wiser!*
* **Gourmet**: *You now have one last task to accomplish.*
* **Player**: *Of course.*
* **Gourmet**: *You will be the physical instrument of this ritual...*
* **Gourmet**: *While I intone the unholy words.*
* **Gourmet**: *Do not feel scared.*
* **Player**: *Saying that makes me more likely to be scared.*
* **Gourmet**: *First... we must prepare the sacrificial flames.*
* **Player**: *What kind of recipe is this again?*
* **Gourmet**: *Go my pawn! Meet me downstairs.*

Well, that doesn't sound too scary. Let's use the Trap Door behind the Gourmet and talk to him down there.
* **Gourmet**: *Place the Kettle of Sacrifice upon the Demon Pyre!*
* **Player**: *Do you mean... the fire?*
* **Gourmet**: *Put the pot on the fire, yes, yes, now go!*
* **Gourmet**: *Honestly.*

Let's do what he says. Choose 'Perform evil on' the fire in the middle of the room:
* **Narrator**: *You balance the kettle on the flames.*
* **Narrator**: *They dance brightly around the metal.*

Wonder what's next? Let's ask the Gourmet.
* **Gourmet**: *Next, we must apply the Spread of Slavering Madness!*
* **Gourmet**: *Conjure forth the world's sizzling doom!*

Huh. Okay then, back to the fire. 'Perform evil on' the fire once again:
* **Narrator**: *The butter sizzles and steams in the pot.*
* **Narrator**: *Is that screaming you can hear?*

Oh dear. Just one more step! Back to the Gourmet.
* **Gourmet**: *Now!*
* **Gourmet**: *Seal the blasphemous corn into it's[sic] delicious grave!*

Not the corn! But we must! 'Perform evil on' the Fire one last time:
* **Narrator**: *You say a silent prayer as you scatter the corn into the kettle.*
* **Narrator**: *The rock around you rumbles...*
* **Narrator**: *You jam on the lid.*
* **Narrator**: *What have you done?*

Have we done it? What nefarious thing have we become a part of creating? We must ask the Gourmet!
* **Gourmet**: *Now we must listen! The Plane of Suffering calls to us!*
* **Player**: *...*
* **Narrator**: *You hear popping sounds from within the pot.*
* **Player**: *Is that what I think it is?*
* **Gourmet**: *Yes! Yes!*
* **Gourmet**: *This is exactly as the recipe has described!*
* **Player**: *...*
* **Gourmet**: *The explosions mean we are practically finished!*
* **Gourmet**: *Now go! See if our offering has been accepted!*
* **Player**: *...Of course.*

No ... did we just make some evil popcorn? We better go check the pot on the fire!:
* **Narrator**: *You upend the kettle, and pour out its devilish contents!*
* **Narrator**: *It's... popcorn?*

We did! Let's show the Gourmet the infernal recipe worked!
* **Gourmet**: *Unreal...*
* **Player**: *No, it's real.*
* **Gourmet**: *I can hardly believe it...*
* **Gourmet**: *The corn has been transformed right before our eyes!*
* **Player**: *That's because we cooked it over a flame.*
* **Gourmet**: *You have been a worthy pawn. With these Oblivion Puffs-*
* **Player**: *Oblivion Puffs?*
* **Gourmet**: *- I will become the most powerful dark magician of this, or any other realm!*
* **Player**: *You're welcome?*
* **Gourmet**: *Now take your reward and leave my domain, before I turn their evil magics on you.*
