Witch You Were Here

**Witch You Were Here** is a series of quests given by the High Priestess in the Winter. It requires the player to visit Westley's store in Ravenwood Hollow to find a Summon Witch incantation, travel past the second pillar in the Gloaming to find a giant lotus, and craft the incantation.

The Fairhaven Ferry will be broken down the morning after starting this quest.

## Dialogue

Quest intro:

* Farseer Shelby: Never seen a Winter like this on the island before.
* High Priestess Lina: Neither have I. I worry that we are too few in number to turn it on our own. We’ve lost so many in recent years. Violet’s mother, then Giacomo Moretti, and now Hazel.
* Farseer Shelby: There’s help out there if we’re ready to seek it.
* High Priestess Lina: I think I know your meaning. But we’ve never had to call a witch to the circle before her powers came in.
* Tara: Wait, we can call a new witch to join us? Like, on the phone?
* High Priestess Lina: No, with an incantation. Perhaps Westley will have the one we need among his scrolls.

Speak to Westley to see if he has a summon witch incantation.

* [Next day]

* Tara: Wow. Who ordered the Winter Wonderland? Er…. was it me? I better go check and see how everyone is doing.
* Mayor Otto: No reason to panic, everyone! She is still a seaworthy vessel! As soon as the ice melts, we’ll have the best engineer in Milkwater come over on a tugboat and pull her out into the harbor for repairs.
* Giva: That could be awhile. If my forecast is correct, we could be socked in for weeks.
* Mayor Otto: Now let’s try to remain positive.
* Thomas: Giva’s right. At the very least, we oughta try and patch the hole in the hull before she takes on too much water.
* Parker: I’ll help.
* Mayor Otto: That’s the spirit! You see, with the right attitude, we’ll get through this together! Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to um… check on the town stores.

* [Westley’s store]

* Westley: Hi Tara! Need some parchment, or maybe some new ink?
* Tara: Actually, I’m hoping you might have a special incantation in your ancient scrolls collection. We need to call a new witch to the coven circle.
* Westley: Now that you mention it, I do think I saw something like that when I was doing inventory last week… Ah! Here we are! You’ll need at least four members of the coven to cast it round the circle with you… … and here’s the full list of ingredients for the incantation.
* Peri: You’re calling a new witch? That will pull a lot of magic from the Wellspring. It’s unstable as it is. Your High Priestess shouldn’t act rashly out of desperation. The island has seen long winters before.
* Tara: Really? When? What happened?
* Zephyr: What happened was a bunch of colonists froze! Their leader couldn’t resist the siren song of the stones…
* Peri: Hey. I’ve known plenty of sirens, and they’re unfairly maligned. It’s not their fault some sailors can’t steer their ships…
* Zephyr: Point is, no one made it out of their camp in the woods that Winter. I grew up hearing that story, and I bet Thomas did too. That’s why he keeps clear.
* Peri: Right. And it was the call of the Gloaming that brought them to ruin, not the Winter. Take heed, witchling.

Speak to the High Priestess and tell her you have the summon witch incantation.

* Tara: I’ve brought the incantation to call a new witch from Westley, High Priestess.
* High Priestess Lina: Well done. Ah. We will need a giant lotus. I believe I’ve seen it past the second pillar in the Gloaming.
* Herbalist Violet: If Tara’s going back into The Gloaming, I’m going with her.
* High Priestess Lina: Very well. Let me know when you are ready, and I will place the keystone to open the second pillar.
* Tara: Yeah, okay, let’s go! I’m ready to go past the second pillar, High Priestess.
* High Priestess Lina: Very well. Novice and Herbalist, take your places on the portal.

* Herbalist Violet: Ooooh. Lookit all the sparkly flowers!
* Tara: You really are a magpie, you know that?

Craft the summon witch incantation.

* Tara: Is that what we’re looking for?
* Herbalist Violet: I think… yes! Yes it is! Go get it!
* Tara: *You* go get it!
* Herbalist Violet: I would, but these are new shoes!
* Tara: Ugh, fine. Aiieeeee! I guess I’m too heavy for it. Rude.
* Herbalist Violet: We need levitation potion! Have you got some?
* Tara: Obviously. What kind of witch would I be otherwise?
* Herbalist Violet: Ok great. Now… drink it!
* Tara: What is it with you and making me guinea pig these random potions?! How do you know it’s safe?
* Herbalist Violet: Well, if it isn’t, Amira will fix you right up!
* Tara: Why do I let you talk me into these things? Well, it seems to be working. And I still have all my fingers and toes.
* Herbalist Violet: Any extra ones?
* Tara: What?!
* Herbalist Violet: Nothing!

Bring the incantation to the High Priestess.

* Tara: Here is the Summon Witch incantation, High Priestess.
* High Priestess Lina: Well done. Everyone take your places while I prepare the incantation. Tonight we call one who may aid us in our magical workings. Join your brothers and sisters of the Fairhaven coven. Together we stand, witches all, demanding that you heed our call!
* Francis: Oh no. I fell asleep in front of the TV again, didn’t I? Angus, Angus, wake me up!
* High Priestess Lina: This is no dream. And do not be afraid. You’re among friends.
* Francis: There really are witches here? Angus was right! Look, I’m not one of you! I don’t care what you might have heard about my brother. I had nothing to do with that!
* Farseer Shelby: Fabio may have the gift as well, but you’ve got it in ya to be an even greater witch than your brother, Francis.
* High Priestess Lina: We need your help. Fairhaven needs your help.
* Francis: You’re not listening to me. I’m no witch.
* [Wraith escapes]
* Francis: What. Was. That? AGGGHHGHH!
* High Priestess Lina: Francis, wait!
* Francis: No, no, no! Stay away from me! I’m warning you!
