## Quest Dialogue

* **Player**: *I might be. Why?*
* **Swella Vein**: *Deadward and I are supposed to get married soon but we've hit a snag. I'm hoping you can help me. Help us, I mean.*
* **Swella Vein**: *I'm Swella Vein. That over there is Deadward.*
* **Swella Vein**: *I don't know if you know but marriage for vampires isn't like it is for humans.*
* **Player**: *How so?*
* **Swella Vein**: *Instead of trading rings and saying vows, we stand in blood red garments under a blood moon and share a goblet of werewolf blood.*
* Text is currently wrong and the dialogue is said by the wrong character\*
* **Player**: *Deadward's had a werewolf saved up for a while now, but it's been some time since he's checked on it. Its blood has to be fresh, wo we need it alive.*
* **Swella Vein**: *Garnly.*
* **Overseer**: *Can you help? i'm stuck here with wedding plans right now, and Deadward's beind on paperwork.*
* **Narrator**: *1. Sure 2. Bloody hell no.*

(1)
* **Player**: *What do you need me to do?*
* **Swella Vein**: *Deadward has the werewolf locked in a cage under an abandoned town. It's the one north of here, just pas Mauverose Manor.*
* **Swella Vein**: *First, talk to Deadward for the key. Then go and make sure the werewolf is alive.*
* **Swella Vein**: *And wh*
* **Player**: *Roger that, swella.*

 *(Quest Starts)*
Step 1. Speak to Deadward Strigospat.
* **Player**: *Hey there, Deadward.*
* **Player**: *Your fiancée tell me the two of you are getting married. Congratulations!*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Thank you.... Do i know you?.*
* **Player**: *I just met Swella. She told me about your werewolf problem and asked me to help.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Alright then.*
* **Narrator**: *1. Who are you? 2. How you and Swella meet? 3. What is it about her? 4. [Ask about the key]*

Step 2. Choose option 4. [Ask about the key] to get Funicular Token and Werewolf Cage Key.
* **Player**: *Swella said you've got a key for me? She asked me to check on your werewolf.*
* **Narrator**: *For a brief moment, the vampire really does appear flushed.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *My werewolf?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Yes right. Someone need to check on Slaycub. I've been too swamped here with paperwork to do it myself.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *His cage is beneath the ghost town north of Mauverose. You'll need this key to get through the trapdoor.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *And since you're doing us a favour, I'll give you this token, too. It'll let you use the Mauverose Funicular. That should speed up your trip a little.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *The funicular recognizes the hand that paid it so you'll be able to use it indefinitely when you're done. Consider it a thank-you for helping us.*
* **Player**: *Thanks, Deadward. That's pretty cool of you.*

Step 3. Go to the Funicular lift (482, 20) with Funicular Token and choose option 1. Yes.
* **Narrator**: *Ah, this must be the funicular you've heard so much about.*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward said it will " remember the hand that paid it."*
* **Narrator**: *Use your token? 1. Yes 2. No*

(1) Yes
* **Narrator**: *You put your token in the slot and the funicular whirls to life. All abord!*

Step 4. Go north to the abandoned village, go down the trap door, Werewolf Cage Key will be consumed, and speak to "Lupita".
choose option 4. [More]' then option 2. What happens now?.
* **Player**: *Swella?? How did you get here?*
* **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]*

(4.) [More] (2). What happens now?
* **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.*

Step 5. Go back to Strigospat offices, Search Deadward Strigospat's desk and choose option 4. Fourth entry to get Lock of Deadward's Hair.
(4) Fourth entry.
* **Narrator**: *An entry dated yesterday...*
* **Narrator**: *"I've done it! I've found a wife! Hurray!*
* **Narrator**: *"Her name is Swella and she arrived in a blood vessel. We fell in love immediately, just like the storybooks say.*
* **Narrator**: *"Mother seems pleased. Maybe when the ritual is done she might finally let me plan the office holiday party.*
* **Narrator**: *"I wish I knew what to do about Slaycub, though. Lately, going to see him has been too painful.*
* **Narrator**: *"If only I knew why."*
* **Narrator**: *A few strands of hair have fallen between the pages.*

Step 6. Go back to "Lupita" with Lock of Deadward's Hair to get Mysterious Potion.
* **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.*

Step. 7 Speak to Slaycub, Mysterious Potion will be consumed.
* **Narrator**: *Slaycub eyes the vial warily but holds out his shackled wrists.*
* **Narrator**: *You pop the cork and pour the still-warm potion over the cuffs.*
* **Narrator**: *But nothing happens.*
* **Narrator**: *Slaycub gives the chain a tug. Still nothing.*
* **Slaycub**: *That doesn't seem right.*
* **Narrator**: *Suddenly, the potion on his fur disappears into his skin.*
* **Slaycub**: *Okay, that really doesn't semm right. What was this supposed to do again?*
* **Player**: *Lupita said it would free you.*
* **Narrator**: *Slaycub beings to sway like a drunk puppy.*
* **Slaycub**: *I mean, I guess I* feel' freer. Is that what she meant?
* **Slaycub**: *Like nothing can stop me. Like you could ask me anything and I'd have no reason to lie.*
* **Player**: *Huh. Okay, well... What's your biggest wish?*
* **Slaycub**: *For deadward to kiss me on the mouth.*
* **Player**: *...*
* **Slaycub**: *...*
* **Slaycub**: *Do you think he wants to kiss me too?*
* **Player**: *I dont know, buddy. You'll have to ask him.*
* **Slaycub**: *Deady smells like peppermint. And his hair is floppy like a bird. I like birds.*
* **Player**: *I'll be right back.*

Step. 8 Speak to "Lupita" again.
* **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.*

Step. 9 Bring a N.Q Iron Bar and N.Q Red Marble to Slaycub to get Slaycub's Amulet.
* **Player**: *How are you feeling, Slaycub?*
* **Narrator**: *He looks like he's concentrating hard to find the words.*
* **Slaycub**: *Werewolves are used to running on adrenaline. We don't get scared often.*
* **Slaycub**: *But right now I'm pretty scared, adventurer. I don't know what's going to happen next.*
* **Player**: *I brought you a marble and some iron. Lupita tell me you've got an amulet to make.*
* **Narrator**: *Slaycub frowns, but there's a glint in his eyes that wasn't there before. He nods. You hand him the materials.*
* **Slaycub**: *Here goes nothing.*
* **Narrator**: *With bounded hands, Slaycub turns to the anvil. He returns minutes later with a rought-hewn amulet.*
* **Slaycub**: *That's it. It's done.*
* **Slaycub**: *Would you deliver it for me, adventurer? Deadward isn't a werewolf, but i think he'll know what it means.*

Step. 10 Go back to Strigospat offices and talk to Deadward Strigospat, Slaycub's Amulet will be consumed, to get Slaycub's Shackle Key.
* **Player**: *Hi Deadward.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Adventurer, you've returned. How was my werewolf doing?*
* **Player**: *He's doing well, Deady. I think he misses you.*
* **Player**: *And he asked me to give you this.*
* **Narrator**: *You hold out the amulet. Deadward takes it with puzzled look.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *You... said it's from Slaycub? He made this for me?*
* **Narrator**: *Deadward turns it over in his hands, running his fingers over the rough edges. Then he brings it to his nose and smiles.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *It's beautiful.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *But what about Swella?*
* **Player**: *Swella's a leasbian ghost you conjured with your diary. Believe me, she'll be happy for you.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *That makes sense.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *And what about my mother?*
* **Player**: *What* about *your mother, Deady? The love of your life just proposed to you. You're going to let her stand in the way?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *No, of course not.*
* **Player**: *Then you and your mother are going to have a long-overdue conversation. Right?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Right.*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Deadwards lets out a long exhale and smiles.*
* **Player**: *It's going to work out, Deadward. I know it will*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Thanks, adventurer. If you don't mind, could you bring this key to Slaycub?*
* **Deadward Strigospat**: *Tell him I'm sorry and I'll be there soon. As soon as I'm done with these reports.*

Step. 11 Go back and speak to Slaycub, Slaycub's Shackle Key will be consumed.
