Quests

## First Things First

The introductory quest to *Wytchwood.*

After *Witch* awakens, *The Goat* that woke her up reveals that it is a demon and has come to collect. The witch, having no memory of making such a deal, is lead by to the Goat to the entrance of the *Grotto Shrine* that the Witch apparently sealed. After gathering the ingredients, the witch enters the shrine, and finds the *Sleeping Maiden*, which according to Goat, the witch brought the maiden's body to it to save her, in exchange for the *Twelve Wicked Souls* that wronged her in life. The Goat then tells Witch to rest to think on completing their deal, and you wake up in your cabin.

## The Sleeping Maiden

The Sleeping Maiden quest works in 3 installments, assigning 4 souls to gather in one period.

The first 4 souls are *The Leech, The Bear, The Ox, and The Snake*. These souls can be gathered in any order.

Once the souls are collected, go back to the *Grotto Shrine*, and interact with the pedestal. There will be some dialogue, *The Goat* will tell *Witch* to rest, and you wake up in your cabin.

The second 4 souls are *The Ram, The Cat, The Rat, and The Fish*.

Same as last time, once the souls are collected, go back to the Grotto Shrine, and interact with the pedestal. The Goat will tell Witch to rest, and you wake up in your cabin.

The final 4 souls are *The Hog, The Wolf, The Stag, and The Hawk*.

One last time, once the souls are collected, go back to the Grotto Shrine, and interact with the pedestal.

This time, Witch will ask about the fulfillment of the contract, and it is revealed that Witch is a puppet that was sent to fulfill the contract for the Sleeping Maiden, the real Witch. The player character's body dissolves, and the final scene shows the Maiden holding the Witch's cauldron in the air. Then the credits roll.

## First Set

### *The Leech*

The Leech, found in the southwest of the Swamp, works at the Sickhouse taking care of the ill. She seems very suspicious, alerting the witch to there being more than meets the eye. After reviving the old lady's husband, the witch learns that the Leech has been purposefully giving people the plague and robbing them of their blood. The witch defeats her by using Spirit Salts on her special wine, at which the Leech drops a mummified worm containing her soul.

### *The Bear*

The Bear, found in the east of the Forest, is one of the soldiers of the Lakeshore Path soldier encampment. He is the largest of them all, and has been injuring other soldiers, obnoxiously so, by recreating his defeats on the battlefield. He has also been eating up the food supply, which the soldier on the road in the woods alerted the witch to. With the help of the Sergeant, the witch brews a special honey mead to give the Bear, at which the Bear transforms into a teddybear containing his soul.

### *The Ox*

The Ox, found in the southeast of the Fields, is a massive and angry gardener that is very passionate about his crops being the best crops. Everyone in the fields noticed that his family went missing, and that at the same time his crops were succeeding greatly, surpassing even that of the vegetable farmer. Upon investigating and speaking with everyone, even at the bandit camp, the witch learned that the Ox was making a deal with his scarecrow, in which he traded his family for the ability to have the best crops. The only way for the witch to save the family was to poison the Ox's crops, at which point the family was freed, and a delicate blossom containing the Ox's soul grew in his place, as he attempts to make another deal with the scarecrow, only for it to take him instead.

### *The Snake*

The Snake, found to the north of the Forest, is a manipulative carnival ringmaster that trades people's freedoms and lives in return for them getting gifts. The Snake had hypnotized the lover of a Maiden the witch happens upon in the forest, in return granting him great music playing ability. The maiden and the bard are separated lovers, and the witch decides to reunite them. The Snake tries to hypnotize the witch and fails, at which point the witch realizes the snake needs a taste of its own medicine. The witch collects pieces to a shattered mirror and uses that mirror to have the snake hypnotize itself, freeing everyone around it, and trapping its soul in the mirror.

## Second Set

### *The Ram*

The Witch arrives in the Village to find the smoldering remains of a wool shop belonging to the Black Sheep, who has since gone missing. The Witch goes to investigate the Ram and finds him in the Village Square, giving a passionate sermon about the superiority of plain wool and group uniformity. Though the Ram denies involvement in the Black Sheep’s disappearance, the Witch discovers a trail of sooty footprints leading from the Ram’s flock to the Black Sheep’s hideout. Together, the Black Sheep and Witch create an enchanted tie-dye yarn to use on the Ram’s flock. Amazed by the colors, the Sheep realize the Ram preaches falsehoods and stop listening to him. Desperately wanting attention, the Ram rings his bell louder and louder until his soul is consumed by it.

### *The Cat*

In the Market Square, the Witch stumbles upon the Baker, Chandler, and Smith, who are all accusing each other of vandalism. The Unicorn explains that this has been happening a lot, but upon using her truth-telling powers, they realize that all of the shopkeepers are actually innocent. When the Witch investigates, she discovers that the Cat has been sabotaging everyone to establish herself as a “criminal mastermind.” The Witch lures the Cat back to the Market so the Unicorn can banish the lies out of her. However, the Cat is entirely made up of lies, so she evaporates completely.

### *The Rat*

The Witch arrives in the Graveyard to find the Gravekeeper, who tells her that the spirits have been restless lately because of a racket coming from the haunted Mansion on the northwest side of the map. Inside the Mansion, the Witch finds the Banshee, who explains that she is upset because someone stole her brooch from her family crypt. When she investigates the Banshee’s coffin, a swarm of rats run out, leading her to the Rat’s Nest within the Graveyard Church. The Rat offers to sell the brooch to the Witch, then rescinds his deal when he finds out the customer is a dead victim of his. He believes he is safe since the dead cannot cross the threshold to the church, but the Witch is able to summon the Banshee inside. There, all of his deceased victims unite to drag the Rat to the underworld, and the Banshee is finally at peace.

### *The Fish*

The Witch arrives at the Docks to find a little girl crying because the boat captained by her father has recently docked, but he has not come out and no one is allowed in without paying in seashells. The Witch pays the toll and finds the Fish calling himself the new captain, saying the little girl’s father fell overboard and died. When the Witch returns to the Child with the news, she expresses doubt and also explains that the Fish is collecting seashells in an attempt to find a legendary magical Conch that will summon a Mermaid. The Witch locates the Conch and uses it to find the missing Captain, who has been swallowed by a sea serpent after the Fish conspired to mutiny against him and threw him overboard. The Witch rescues the Captain by causing the sea serpent to sneeze them out with such force that they catapult back to the pier, destroying the Captain’s boat and the Fish along with it.

## *Third Set*

### *The Hog*

The Witch finds a Beggar on the North side of the Market who cannot remember how he ended up on the street. All he remembers is that he worked for the 3 Hog sisters at their farm to the Northeast of the Market. After the Witch investigates, the Beggar transforms into a Ghost when he remembers that the Hogs fed him to their pigs when he became too old to work. The Witch takes revenge by creating an effigy of the Hog sisters that magically turns into a pork-based feast for their former workers.

### *The Wolf*

In the North part of the Village, the Witch discovers a nervous young Huntsman who is planning to kill the nefarious Wolf to prove himself. He mentions that women have been disappearing after the Wolf lures them to his house. The Witch enters the tavern to investigate and finds the Wolf aggressively propositioning an unwilling Barmaid. The Witch enchants a Puppet to relieve the Barmaid and lure the Wolf to the Huntsman outside, but the Huntsman fails to shoot the Wolf. The pair track the Wolf to his home in the Darkwood on the Northwest side of the Swamp. Once again, the Witch uses the Puppet to lure the Wolf to the Huntsman, who this time successfully kills the Wolf with a magic silver bullet.

### *The Stag*

The Stag is a prince who resides in his Court to the Northeast of the Mountain Approach. He shares the throne with his younger brother, the Buck, but only one of them is destined to rule as king. The Stag belittles his brother and hides the fact that they have equal claim to the King’s throne. The Witch discovers a prophecy about a Crystal Flower that can only be picked by the rightful heir. To settle the matter, she accompanies the Buck to the Mountain Peak, where they find the Crystal Cave. The Buck picks the Crystal Flower for its quality, unaware of the prophecy around it. The Stag rushes in with his horde of nobles and picks the first flower he sees in an attempt to prove himself as king. The Buck is revealed as the true heir to the throne when the Stag is frozen solid by the magic flowers, and the nobles celebrate.

### *The Hawk*

The Hawk, found to the east of the fields, is an imposing businessman with only money on his mind. At the time he is found by The Witch, he is in the process of attempting to extract rent money from his tenants, The Millers. After convincing The Hawk to leave, and speaking with The Millers, The Witch comes to realise that The Hawk has deliberately sabotaged The Miller's flour-milling operation in order to prevent them from earning enough money to pay their rent therefore allowing The Hawk to evict them. The Witch speaks with The Hawk at the bank and learns that he is attempting to track and catch a being called The Rumpling in order to obtain his "weight in gold". The Witch defeats The Hawk by tracking down The Rumpling herself and obtaining the Alchemist Stone, which when given to The Hawk turns his entire body into gold.
