## Part 1

Talk to Marian

**Marian**: You're a new face. Are you the adventurer that Frenda sent?

**You**: Yes!

**Marian**: Well, nice to meet you! As it happens I do have some work for you, if you're up for it.

**You**: Sure! I'm happy to help.

**Marian**: Well, a colleague of mine has been researching the Evil Ruins.

**Marian**:  They're just south of Lemia, and it's always been a mystery where the zombies there came from.

**Marian**: I've been wondering why I haven't heard back from him.

**Marian**: One of his associates is in town.

**Marian**: His name is Norbert and he's probably in the cave.

Talk to Norbert(-1673, 50, 550) in Lemia Cave.

**Marian**: Could you go see him and see what's up? Ask him how Robinson is doing, and what's taking him so long.

**Marian**:Have you gone to see Norbert yet?

## Part 2

Find Norbert and talk to him

**Norbert**: Hello. Need something?

**You**: Marian asked me to come here and ask about Robinson.

**Norbert**: Oh dear. Well you see, I actually hadn't told Marian yet, but...

**Norbert**: Well, Robinson has been missing for some time.

**Norbert**: He went to the Evil Ruins and we haven't heard from him since then.

**You**: Oh gosh, that's terrible! Is it dangerous there?

**Norbert**: I suppose so. There are many zombies there, but Robinson was a pretty strong fighter as well as a good researcher.

Search for Robinson at the Evil Runes (-1659, 40, 1088)

**Norbert**: You seem strong too. Do you think you could take a look and see why Robinson is missing?

**Norbert**: Robinson should be at the Evil Runes.

## Part 3

Search for Robinson and talk to him

**Robinson**: Oh spirits above, I'm hallucinating again.

**You**: What? No! I'm real!

**Robinson**: That's what they all say...

**You**: No, really! Norbert sent me here.

**Robinson**:  ... Can it be?

**You**: Really! I promise, I'm real!

**Robinson**: I.. I can't believe it. Can it be?

**Robinson**: Wow, I can feel your flesh. You really are real!

**You**: Let's get you out of here.

**Robinson**: No! I can't leave. I'm doomed to die here.

**You**: What? Come on, stop talking nonsense.

**Robinson**: No, really. Those zombies out there? I discovered their secret. They were humans. Like me.

**Robinson**: But they're infectious. And I was bitten by one. Any day now, I'll become one of them.

**You**: I... I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry.

**Robinson**: It's OK. I'm a researcher. Death from the unknown is a great honor.

**Robinson**: I do have one wish, though.

**Robinson**: Before I was bitten, I conducted some experiments on a chunk of meat I sliced off of a zombie.

**Robinson**: There were some very interesting results, but I lost the meat when I panicked after getting bitten.

**Robinson**: It's hard to explain the importance to a non-scientist, but that meat is truly enlightening.

**Robinson**: If you could find that meat, you would be fulfilling my dying wish.

**Robinson**: One of those zombies out there probably has it.

Kill Zombies in the Evil Ruins (-1659, 40, 1088) until you find Robinson's meat sample.

**Robinson**: Can you **kill zombies in the Evil Ruins until you find the meat sample**?

**Robinson**: No luck yet? I'd really appreciate it if you kept trying. I'm sure one of those zombies has it.

## Part 4

## Part 5

Talk to Robinson

>> Robinson took 1x **Zombie Meat Sample**.

**Robinson**: Yes, that's it!

**Robinson**: I can now rest in peace, knowing that I died for a purpose.

>> You received **Zombie Meat Sample**.

**Robinson**: Please bring the Meat Sample back to Marian. I'm sure she'll know what to do with it.

**You**: What about you?

**Robinson**: It's OK. Just leave me here to die in peace.

Bring the Meat Sample to Marian (-1574, 40, 492).

**Robinson**: Now go and **bring the Meat Sample to Marian**. Be safe.

## Part 6

Bring the Meat Sample to Marian (-1574, 40, 492).

**Marian**: Hey, you're back!

**Marian**: Any news?

**You**:  I found out that Robinson was bitten by the zombies at the Evil Ruins. He says that he's infected and has to die there.

**Marian**:  Oh. Well.. that was.. blunt...

**Marian**: I'm really sorry to hear about that...

**Marian**:  Did he have any last words?

**You**: He wanted me to bring you this meat sample. He said you'd know what to do with it.

>> Marian took 1x **Zombie Meat Sample**.

**Marian**:  Oh? Very interesting...

**Marian**: This certainly isn't natural...

**Marian**: Hmm, signs of... no...

**Marian**:  It can't be...

**Marian**: Well, this certainly is a very interesting sample.

**Marian**: Thank you very much for bringing it. It's a shame that Robinson had to sacrifice himself for it.

**Marian**: This does seem to be a rather significant thing, though.

**Marian**: I don't have anything more for you to do right now.

**Marian**: I think I'll need to spend some time investigating this.

**Marian**: Why don't you explore town a bit and see if anyone else needs help? Remember, you can always check for quests to do in /quests.

**Marian**: I heard there's been some trouble with the Kino Warriors.

>> You received x50 **Shards**.

**Marian**: It's a big world out there.
