Petals And Promises

**Petals And Promises** is one of the Side Quests in Seven: The Days Long Gone.

## Walkthrough

On a farm near Warden’s Hold, you can witness a Biomancer Priest talking to two desperate farm- ers. Eavesdropping on the conversation will reveal that the priest came to collect the farmer’s daughter, but the girl has gone missing.

After asking the farmer what is going on, he explains that their only child, Ilsa, was promised to the Biomancers when she comes of age in exchange for help with their dying crops. The Biomancers will punish the family if they cannot offer the daughter, but they have no idea where she’s gone. The farmers beg for your help in finding her.

* 1. The first step is to locate Ilsa. You must use sense mode to search the farm for important clues.
* 1.1 You can find premium flowers in her room. These are extraordinary, and seem to be expensive.
* 1.2 You can find a locket containing blonde hair buried under the tree near the farm. Neither

Ilsa nor her family have blonde hair, so it must belong to someone else.

* 1.3 You can find her diary, where she mentions she was seeing somebody in secret. His name is Fen, and he is a wealthy flower merchant from Paladial.
* 1.4 Optional - You can find intimate letters from Fen to Ilsa.

* 2. After finding three basic clues, you form a conclusion. You need to look for blonde flower mer- chant in Paladial.

* 3. Fen can be found in his shop by Petalyn Manor in western Paladial.

* 4. You can approach the quest in several ways:
* 4.1 You can look for Ilsa yourself.
* 4.2 You can talk to Fen about Ilsa. If you insist, he will call his guards and attack you. If you kill Fen here, you can still progress the quest.
* 4.3 You can pickpocket Fen’s personal guards. They will have a note on them from Fen with orders to check on Ilsa regularly. She is being held in the basement room, beneath the ground level flat in Petalyn Manor.
* 4.4 If you killed Fen before this quest, Ilsa never escapes the farm.

* 5. You enter Ilsa’s secret room and talk to her. You have two options:
* 5.1 You can insist that she returns to her parents and join the Biomancers, if she wants her parents to live.
* 5.2 You can agree to let her and her lover go.

* 6. Merchant Fen enters the room.
* 6.1 If Fen died in the meantime, Ilsa calls for help, but no one is there to answer. In despair, she kills herself.
* 6.2 If Fen is alive, he reacts depending on what you said to Ilsa before he entered.
* 6.2.1 If you decide she should join the Biomancers, Fen refuses. You can only change his mind if you saw his private letter to her and pretend you are Ilsa’s secret second lover. He will then tell Ilsa to leave.
* 6.2.2 If you decide that the lovers should be free, Fen will grudgingly thank you and give you a reward, then both of them flee Peh.
* 6.2.3 If Fen attacks you because you want to force Ilsa to join the Biomancers, you have two options:
	+ a. Kill Fen. On seeing this, Ilsa will then commit suicide.
	+ b. Flee from the fight, allowing Ilsa and Fen to leave Peh to pursue a new life.

* 7. If Ilsa returns to the Biomancers, her parents survive and reward you.

* 8. If Ilsa dies or escapes with Fen, her family is taken in front of Our Saviour’s Temple and publicly shamed. After that, their fate is unknown, but probably unpleasant.
