Witch Way Did She Go

**Witch Way Did She Go** is a quest that begins immediately after completing the quest Wherefore Art Thou Juliet. It requires the player to go through the third pillar to the Gloaming to pursue Vanessa.

Tara, Violet, and Lina work together to break the previously impassable barrier in the third area of the Gloaming. Past it, they find Vanessa (dressed as Raven) using magic on a large tree, believing it to be the heart of the Wellspring. Lina warns her to stop, but Vanessa accuses her of lying and continues until the tree unravels to reveal an unconscious woman - Gloria. Moments later, a wraith escapes the hole in the tree and possesses Vanessa, who taunts them and leaves.

Lina instructs Tara to give Gloria a Reviving Potion, then leaves to gather the coven to follow Vanessa. Once Tara returns with the potion, Violet gives it to her mother and despairs when it seemingly has no effect, but Gloria wakes up moments later and reunites with her daughter. Violet stays behind to help her mother while Tara goes on ahead to help the others in town.

The reward for completion is 3x Max Restore Magic Potion.

## Dialogue

Quest – Witch Way Did She Go (gloaming 3)

* High Priestess Lina: Novice, Herbalist, you’ll come with me.
* Herbalist Violet: Yes!! Let’s go!
* High Priestess Lina: The rest of you stay behind in case Vanessa comes back this way.
* Adept Amira: Oh, we’ll be ready.
* Tara: I hope this works…

Look for Vanessa past the third Gloaming pillar.

* High Priestess Lina: What’s down this way?
* Tara: We don’t know. We passed it before but the force field seems too strong to break on our own.
* High Priestess Lina: The three of us together should be able to do it. Let’s do it now.
* Herbalist Violet: Whoa. No wonder you’re the High Priestess.

* Tara: Violet, look!
* Gloria: I just saw a dark wraith, the most powerful one I have ever seen in the Gloaming. I can’t let it escape into Fairhaven.
* Markus: Gloria, what are you doing in this part of the Gloaming all alone?
* Tara: Who’s that?
* High Priestess Lina: It sounded like… Dad?
* Gloria: Markus, I have to cast a glamour over the heart of the Wellspring to protect Violet.
* Markus: Gloria, come back with me right now.
* Gloria: I can’t. You don – Markus, look out! It’s right behind you!
* Markus: Ahhhhh!
* High Priestess Lina: Dad!
* Gloria: Let go of him! I’ve got you! Now I bind you wraith, no man shall you scathe!
* Herbalist Violet: Mom!
* Tara: Are you two okay?
* High Priestess Lina: Dad didn’t suddenly lose his memory. He was attacked by a wraith.
* Herbalist Violet: And Mom tried to fight it off. She didn’t just leave me, she was trying to save Markus.
* High Priestess Lina: We’ve got to keep it together, Violet. Vanessa is still in here somewhere. Juliet could be in grave danger.

* High Priestess Lina: Vanessa, stop!
* Raven: I’ve been forced to siphon paltry bits of magic from the Wellspring for too long. Now I’ve finally found its heart!
* Tara: You’re the one who’s been causing the imbalance! That’s why the wraiths broke free!
* Raven: I had really hoped that the trials would have snared one of you but the wrong people kept getting accused. Well, it was a useful distraction, at least.
* High Priestess Lina: Vanessa, that’s not the heart of the Wellspring. It’s something else.
* Raven: You’re lying, Lina. Just like your father. He said I could never be part of the coven. Fine. Now I’ll be more powerful than any of you!
* [Raven casts magic on the tree, which unravels to reveal an unconscious Gloria]
* Herbalist Violet: Mom!
* [A wraith escapes the hole in the tree and goes into Raven, who levitates into the air]
* Raven: Arrrrgh! Hahaha! You see what I did to the last of your coven who tried to prevent me from escaping the Gloaming. Now I am bonded with this dark sorceress.
* High Priestess Lina: So long as this coven stands, you’ll never reach the heart of the Gloaming, wraith.
* Raven: As you wish. I know how to destroy you once and for all. And I won’t even have to do it myself.
* [Raven flies away. Violet, Tara and Lina approach Gloria]
* Tara: Is she…
* High Priestess Lina: No. She’s alive. But she’s under a powerful enchantment. Stay and help Violet, Tara. You may be able to wake her with a strong enough potion. [Gives Reviving Potion recipe] Myself and the rest of the coven have to go find Vanessa before she wreaks havoc in the town!
* Tara: Violet, I’ll be back with the potion as soon as I can.
* Herbalist Violet: Hurry.

Give Gloria the reviving potion.

* [Outside the stone circle]

* Tara: Where is everyone?
* Francis: Vanessa came through the portal but the binding spell Amira tried didn’t work!
* Tara: That’s because it’s a strong dark wraith bonded with a powerful witch. The incantation we used on civilians probably won’t cut it.
* Francis: Greeaaat. Lina and the others followed her into town, and they told me to keep watch.
* Tara: I could use your help. We found Gloria, but I need a potion to revive her. I’m going to get most of the ingredients through the other portals in the Gloaming, but I need some Pearl Dust. Can you get that for me?
* Francis: Right away. You really found Gloria? This day just keeps getting crazier!

* [Returning with the potion]

* Violet: She still hasn’t moved. But I think she’s breathing.
* Tara: Here.
* Violet: Nothing’s happening. Maybe she just… was in here too long. I’m sorry I didn’t find you sooner, Mom.
* --[Choice: Wait]
	+ Tara: Don’t give up just yet!
	+ Violet: We’ve already done everything we could do.
* --[Choice: I’m sorry]
	+ Tara: I’m sorry, Violet.
	+ Violet: It’s not your fault. I gave up on her long before I ever should have.
* Gloria: (COUGHS VIOLENTLY)
* Violet: MOM?
* Gloria: (GASPS)
* Tara: It worked!
* Violet: Mommy?
* Gloria: …… Violet? But it can’t be. You’re so grown! …. How long have I been in here?
* Violet: Four years.
* Gloria: Oh baby. And Bastian…
* Violet: He’s doing okay. I’ve been taking care of him.
* Gloria: Oh, my poor babies. I’m so sorry. I couldn’t let the wraith travel deeper into the Gloaming. Markus, myself and Giacomo had already banished it from the island once, but it returned more determined than ever to reach the heart of the Wellspring.
* Tara: And now it has Vanessa…
* Gloria: What?
* Violet: Oh, Mom, this is my friend Tara. She’s Hazel’s granddaughter. Also… it turns out Vanessa was a witch this whole time.
* Gloria: The wraith is bonded to a witch? This is dire.
* Tara: I should go help the others.
* Violet: Go on ahead of us. I need to help Mom out of here.
* [Reward: 3x Max Restore Magic potion]
