## Walkthrough

* Danette wants you to follow trail of Black Feathers and see where they lead. Turn around and look on the ground for feathers, and follow that trail. (they blink a little). It leads you to a Broken Orb behind a huge piece of rock at E/F2 just north of the bounty Snig.
* So you have to return to Danette now. She'll tell you that it is a Minoan Nuclear Orb, and that she also has one. But when she wants to take it, she notices that it has been stolen too.
* She tells you that the Black Thrush went to the east – I should go and talk to a man named Odilon.
* Suddenly she remembers that she was supposed to help Nobleleaf and gives you a side quest: An Imperative Errand.
* Talking to Odilon ends the quest but keep talking to him to get the follow up quest: Hunting Wargs.

## Dialogue

**You looted Broken Orb!**

Danette: "The thing person returns to me! Did you follow the feather road?"

You "Yes. I found this peculiar thing."

Danette: "Oooh, the strange bird from another dimension laid an egg! And it hatched!"

You "This isn't a bird egg, but I think it had something in it. Danette, please FOCUS! What is this? THINK!"

Danette: "All right, I'll do my best, here goes. It smells sulfuric. And these glowing particles on it are crystallized plutonium shards with high grade phosphate neutrons, which were often associated with an ancient species of Minotaur. Why, I know! This is a Minoan Nuclear Orb, which held radioactive Minotaur isotopes inside of it! Rare indeed."

You "Why was this here in the Withering Woodlands?"

Danette: "I don't know. But it's even more odd that there are two, because I have one as well! A gift from the Minotaurs from my days working with them. Oh! Wait a second. Mine is missing!"

You "So the Black Thrush stole this from you and found one of the missing elements needed for an evil device they have."

Danette: "Have I really been so addled on mushrooms that I didn't notice I was being robbed? And my Minoan Nuclear Orb of all things!"

You "Do you know which way they went?"

Danette: "Well, according to my memory they mounted a Starfire dragon that was breathing out cotton candy and had zippers for wings, then flew off to the east. So probably east? There is an old man named Odilon who camps there. Maybe he saw them."

You "Thanks Danette, I'll head--"

Danette: "--NOBLELEAF!"

You "What?"

Danette: "Now that I am thinking straight, I just remembered all of the Treants here. They are being corrupted. That's why I came to the Withering Woodlands in the first place. To save them! And my research did uncover something. But I never told Nobleleaf. The answer is in the blood!"

You "Gross. But go on."

Danette: "The oxide-rich nutrients in the Elderoot root blood, which is pumped by the Heart of Celenial, is the lifesource of the Treants here. Without it, they wither and become corrupted. Nobleleaf just needs to locate the Heart of Celenial! <Player Name>, please, I beg you, go tell this to Nobleleaf!"

Nobleleaf: "Thirsty. Just. So. Thirsty. Can't. Last. Much. Longer."

You "Danette told me how to save you!"

Nobleleaf: "How? Could it be?"

Odilon: "Eh! Those rowdy good for nothings! I've had it with all you no good derelicts, who traipse around like you own the place."

You "I assure you, I'm no derelict."

Odilon: "Well, the latest band of derelicts sacked my camp while I was gone. If I hadn't come back when I did, they might have destroyed it all! And by the way they were talking, I know for sure they were derelicts!"

**You lost 1x Broken Orb.**
Gained 15.6k experience!

You "What did they say?"

Odilon: "Prove to me that you're not a derelict and I'll tell you more of what I know. They stole all of my food, among other things. Go hunt some Warg for me so I don't starve."
