A Bad Case of the Simples

What to prepare

Nothing to gather: plan for one fight, doable with up to seven players, and an escort to the Sadida Temple.

The 9 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Elmer

   Dialogue[-6,-15] · Elmer

   Talk to Elmer, the dead Sadida, to find out what happened to him. An Arachnee and her Arak-hai acolytes settled in his home and killed him. He is mostly worried about his son Simples, hidden somewhere in the woods.

   

2. 2Search for Simples in three places

   Movement

   Visit these three places: Simples isn't there, but each visit counts for the quest.

   • [-5,-13] go into the house of the magician Hel Munster
   • [-6,-12] visit the map of the barbarian's tree, the former portal to the Goultarminator arenas
   • [-8,-13] go into the East mine of the Arak-hai Forest

   

   

   

3. 3Explore the North mine

   Movement[-11,-16]

   Enter the North mine of the Arak-hai Forest.

   

4. 4Talk to Armbabra

   Dialogue[-15,-16] · Armbabra

   In front of the abandoned house, little Armbabra seems to want to show you something. It may be Simples's familiar: follow it.

   

5. 5Follow Armbabra's trail

   Movement[-15,-14] · Armbabra

   Talk to Armbabra again at [-15,-14] : he asks you to follow him once more, as far as [-16,-13].

   

6. 6Save Simples

   [-16,-13]

   Simples is in trouble: help him defeat the unwanted guests. The fight is done with up to seven players, Simples being the eighth. Spells encountered: Kissifrotsipik (about 120), Acid Secretion (about 50, -200 power and Poisoned state, 21 to 25 Neutral, for 1 turn), Paralysing Sting (about 50, -15 dodge and Poisoned state for 1 turn), Pressing (about 100 Neutral, pushes 3 cells), Stunning Leap (about 100 Neutral, -2 dodgeable AP), Simple Poison (infected state: each AP used costs 1 Fire HP, for 4 turns) and Simple Bramble (about 100 Neutral, -3 dodgeable MP).

   

7. 7Talk to Simples

   Dialogue[-16,-13] · Simples

   Tell Simples you come on behalf of his father, who wants to know him safe at the Sadida Temple. He agrees and heals you of the infection caught during the fight. Simples becomes your follower character.

8. 8Escort Simples to the Sadida Temple

   Movement[-1,9] · Pol Dullbow

   Take Simples to the Sadida Temple and explain the situation to Pol Dullbow. He agrees to house Simples. Worried about the Arak-hai invasion of the Treechnid forest, he asks you to warn the Amakna Castle militia.

   

9. 9Warn Colonel Rumo

   Dialogue[5,-6] · Colonel Rumo
