## Dialogue

* **Player**: *Didn't you just tell me you were too busy to check on the werewolf yourself?*
* **Lupita**: *I am not Swella,*
* **Narrator**: *she says in a deep voice, loud enough for the werewolf to hear,*
* **Lupita**: *and I am most certainly not a vampire. My name is Lupita and I am a friend to werewolves.*
* **Player**: *Really? Because you look an awful lot like Swella Vein in a hood.*
* **Lupita**: *I recently found my friend Slaycub here, trapped within a cage of stakes. His bonds are magic, and I have not the means to free him.*a
* **Narrator**: *1. how'd you get here before me? 2. How did you get inside? 3. Why am i here? 4 [More]*

(1)
* **Player**: *I just talked to you at the Strigospat office and may or may not have come stright here.*
* **Player**: *Is there a teleport I don't know about?*
* **Lupita**: *I told you, adventurer. My name is Lupita, not Swella Vein, and I am not capable of interdimensional travel or any other such thing.*
* **Narrator**: *1. how'd you get here before me? 2. How did you get inside? 3. Why am i here? 4 [More]*

(2)
* **Player**: *How did you get down here if the door was locked?*
* **Narrator**: *Lupita shuffles her feet awkwardly.*
* **Lupita**: *I... burrind in. Yes, i burrowed in.*
* **Player**: *But you just said you found him. You're telling me you just happended to be digging a tunnel and stumbled onto a werewolf cage?*
* **Lupita**: *Absolutely! Do you never dig tunnels, just because?*
* **Lupita**: *You should try it sometime.*
* **Lupita**: *It's super fun.*
* **Narrator**: *1. how'd you get here before me? 2. How did you get inside? 3. Why am i here? 4 [More]*

(3)
* **Player**: *What did you send me for if you can get down here yourself?*
* **Lupita**: *I do not know what you mean, adventurer. My name is not Swella Vein and I am not in love with Deadward Strigospat. It wasn't me who brought you here.*
* **Narrator**: *1. how'd you get here before me? 2. How did you get inside? 3. Why am i here? 4 [More]*

(4)
* **Narrator**: *1. What's with the disguise? 2. What happens now? 3. [Back]*

(4-1)
* **Player**: *What's up with the hood and cape?*
* **Lupita**: *This is my regular attire, adventurer. I wear it every day.*
* **Player**: *Just not earlier* today*, then.*
* **Narrator**: *1. What's with the disguise? 2 What happens now? 3. [Back]*

(4-2)
* **Player**: *I'm supposed to report back that the werewolf---- Slayercub, I guess---- is alive. Deadward and "Swella" need him for marriage ritual.*
* **Player**: *But i'm guessing there's more to this... task.*
* **Lupita**: *Adventurer, Would you see an innocent werewolf slain so a family of parasites can continue their leeching? Or will you help me free him?*
* **Player**: *I mean I already accepted the quest.*
* **Narrator**: *Swellupita beams.*
* **Lupita**: *Nice! Then here's what we need to do.*
* **Lupita**: *The shackles that hold Slaycub can only be broken in one of two ways. The first requires the will of the bonds' creator, which obviously we don't have.*
* **Lupita**: *The second is a potion that can dissolve the locks, but the potion needs Deadward's imprint to work.*
* **Lupita**: *A lock of his hair, to be exact.*
* **Player**: *Oh, like polyjuice potion.*
* **Lupita**: *Deadward isn't going to just give it to you, though. He knows the magic of identity is too powerful to be handing out strands of hair.*
* **Lupita**: *That means you'll have to search his office.*
* **Lupita**: *So you want me to go back to Strigospat's offices and rifle through an executive's desk looking for hair?*
* **Lupita**: *Good! We understand each other.*
* *(Conversation Ends)*

With Lock of Deadward's Hair in inventory
* **Lupita**: *Did you find it? I have the rest of the potion ready. We just need the hair.*
* **Narrator**: *You hand her the greasy strands.*
* **Lupita**: *Ah! Fantastic. This shouldn't be more than a minute.*
* **Narrator**: *Swellupita turns and sprinkles the hair into the bubbling cauldron. After a few seconds, the liquid inside turns a bright shade of red.*
* **Narrator**: *She ladles the potion into a clear vial and hands it to you.*
* **Lupita**: *That's it. That should do it.*
* **Lupita**: *Go take it to Slaycub and watch the magic happen.*
* *(Conversation Ends, Player gets Mysterious Potion)*

After speaking to Slaycub with Mysterious Potion.
* **Player**: *What the hell was that?*
* **Lupita**: *Nothing offensive, adventurer. Just a bit of truth serum. So what has he told you?*
* **Player**: *That we've got an enemies to lovers situation. Or half of one, at least.*
* **Narrator**: *Swellupita smiles deviously.*
* **Lupita**: *Just as I thought.*
* **Lupita**: *It's time i came clean about something, adventurer. My name is Swella but I'm not here to marry Deadward.*
* **Lupita**: *In fact, marrying him would be impossible for me. I'm not really here, you see.*
* **Player**: *Shocker.*
* **Lupita**: *You might say I'm a relative of Deadward's, back from the grave. He unknowingly summoned me with his diary.*
* **Lupita**: *I'm here to make sure he doesn't repeat the mistakes I made when I was alive.*
* **Player**: *Like a ghost of Valentine's past.*
* **Lupita**: *Something like that, yeah.*
* **Lupita**: *I married someone I shouldn't have to appease our family and it was the greatest regret of my life. Deadward's on a path to doing the same.*
* **Lupita**: *But now that you know his love is returned, I need you help with on last thing.*
* **Player**: *Let's hear it.*
* **Lupita**: *The werewolves have their own ritual for professing love.*
* **Lupita**: *Once they've found a mate they believe will accept them, a werewolf craft an amulet impressed with their scent and presents it as a gift.*
* **Lupita**: *If the mate accepts the amulet, the two are considered bonded.*
* **Player**: *Have a werewolf and a vampire ever bonded before?*
* **Narrator**: *Swella appears mysty-eyed.*
* **Lupita**: *As far as I know, Slaycub and Deadward would be the first.*
* **Lupita**: *Bring Slaycub and iron bar and a red marble. Then we'll deliver the amulet to Deadward.*
