## Quest Walkthrough

### Quest Initiation

*Hello, my friend. It's been a while, eh? I got something to ask you.*

*There has been some disturbance in the wasteland lately. Some have been claiming they saw familiar shadowy figures.. whatever that means. I would like you to gather a group and investigate near the abandoned town*

### Part 1: Defeat a boss in the Crypt and return to Ali

*That is.. one peculiar piece of.. an item. I must admit I haven't seen anything like this.. and it is certainly from the alien stuff from the caves..*

*Alright, I need to think for a moment about this. Meanwhile, go talk to Melinda, maybe she knows a thing or two about this..*

### Part 2: Talk to Melinda about the problems

*Huh.. so I heard about these troubles around in wastelands. My friend told me that part of something much more.. dire, but then she just flew away, saying some bird gibberish. We both know who I am talking about. Go find Nimbus, she has some information.*

### Part 3: Find Nimbus in the caves

*You are here! I am glad to see you, so..*

*I've been scouting around the wastelands lately. I saw more than just regular skeletons. Some.. powerful being is occasionally doing some sort of ritual. Or at least they were..*

*That crypt you've been to must be their home base right now. In all honesty, I saw some real nightmares there.. but! It's not a deal for you, right? You don't have nightmares.. I don't think you even talk? I am sure you'll be fine.*

*Speaking of which.. perhaps the earth elemental knows about something? Might be a good try.*

### Part 4: Talk to earth elemental

*Hmm... \*the creature seems to be humming to himself\**

*Ah yes. That's it.. but.. how?*

*\*it turns to you\**

*You must be here for answers, but sadly.. I cannot provide you with any. That place underneath is wast and very dark. My... colleague is building something that cannot be released into the wild. It will affect all the time and space around us. These.. irregular gravity waves coming out of there.. they are obliterating my senses. You must find a way to stop them.*

### Part 5: You've lost the trail. Return to Ali

*Just in time. Have you learned about anything?*

*...*

*...*

*Hmm. I see. So noone has any exact clue on what is going on.. but I can also feel the uneasiness. Anyway, while you were walking around questioning random creatures I made us a plan. The blacksmith brothers kindly agreed to help me with this, so here goes nothing:*

*We are going to build an item for you that utilizes these weird essences. Make no mistake, this is absolutely impractical and dangerous, but we have no other choice. The essences are carrying weird cross-dimensional energy. That crypt is corrupted with instability and paracausality. If we are to understand this power, we have to use it.*

*Bring me more of it. A lot. You'll need to ask your friends to help us on this project too..*

### Part 6: Bring 250 shadow essences to Rune Scribbler

*So while you were gathering these items, Ali and Ana were working on this.. device. In all honesty, I would rather destroy it at this exact moment, but I am not the one running this place. I am only gonna infuse it with the power you provide..*

*\*the unicorn sighs\**

*This is not going to end well.*

### Part 7: Grab the artifact from Ali

*This crossbow.. is unsettling. But.. the deed is done. I ask you to go.. away from the town before using its power. If we did it right, it'll open the portal right to the source of the problem. But be careful out there.. we might not be able to pull you back in worst case scenario. Or at least.. your equipment. Don't count on it being in one piece if you get in trouble over there..*

**Reward:**

* Dimensional Crossbow

### Part 8: Deploy the portal, preferably outside of town and explore.

*So thou finally returned.. We welcome you in our humble castle. Or what's left of it, while those foul creatures keep scratching our walls each day. Tell us, what made you leave? What made you disappear?..*

### Part 9: Return to Ali

*I thought we lost you! The readings were all over the place, that portal apparently sent you into the future..*

*You look like you've seen something you don't wanna tell.. at least.. don't hide anything that might help us with the problem?*
