The 15 quest steps

1. 1Talk to Robert Gene

   Dialogue[-31,-55] · Robert Gene

   At Bonta's market square, the hygiene inspector explains that imported food is checked to prevent poisoning. Since his face is known to everyone, he is recruiting new faces for undercover inspections: he asks you to investigate the pieces of gligli going around town, where they come from and their effects.

   Dialogue

   1. “Comment on her worried look”

   

2. 2Question 4 shopkeepers and 2 residents

   Dialogue

   In the butchers' district, question these six people. The order does not matter.

   • [-33,-57] in the grocery store, Connie Vini gets her meat from a certain Ala Raine, and Huta Wouite sells pieces of ears, paws, etc.
   • [-35,-55] Kikim Indabutt does not seem to sell gligli and prefers strongly flavored meat
   • [-32,-52] Nani Tago: her husband no longer buys his meat in the district, but at the harbor, where stalls have supposedly opened
   • [-31,-52] Erem Dran, a resident, talks about a black pudding that is all the rage
   • [-30,-52] Ala Raine supplies all the professionals in town and receives meat already cut up; her suppliers refuse to sell her dwarf gligli heads

4. 4Question Camille

   Dialogue[-35,-54] · Camille

   Her dad has forbidden her candy since he started working on a new ship: she heard they are made with gligli gelatin, which is bad for your health.

   [-36,-54] · Tile Noom

13. 13Convince Bebert

    Dialogue[-68,31] · Bebert

    On the same map, show Bebert the Rainbow Stuffed Gobball obtained in a previous quest: he thinks you captured a rainbow Gobball and lets you in.

14. 14Talk to Gerard Shelph

    Dialogue[-68,31] · Gerard Shelph

    The dwarf gligli sold in Bonta are not what they claim to be: they are just piglets hunted on Nimaltopia. That is why the heads are never sold, so as not to arouse suspicion.

    Dialogue

    1. “Talk about the dwarf gligli”

15. 15Go see Robert Gene again

    Dialogue[-31,-55] · Robert Gene

    Choose according to your alignment. Brakmarian, take the first choice: the inspector is disappointed, he was convinced something was off. Bontarian, take the second: he thanks you and will report to his superiors as soon as possible. The quest ends.

    Dialogue

    1. “Lie about the discoveries on Mishell's island”
