Come, Muttley! It's time to take over the world! Well, that's settled: I've gone bonkers...
This story begins when you accept an invitation into "the void" as a result of speaking with Hasso, the husband in A Tent in the Wasteland temporary camp. He disappears and a dark, foreboding and shadowy figure appears in his place.
NOTE: You are warned this is not for beginners, and is the "Evil Campaign".
NOTE: You can run this quest and Blood-Soaked Heroes at the same time, but it has been reported that this quest prevents you from getting an important message in Hub's Post Office, effectively stopping your progress in the main story.
NOTE: This quest line is not finished. Read below to find out more.
Accepting the quest
This needs to be done with good timing, as the tent with Hasso will disappear if you do not advance the plot of A_Tent_in_the_Wasteland within a specific frame of time. It is not known how long, but a few IRL days is enough to miss it.
Rewards
- Tragic addiction
Mission 1
Your first goal is to find a spaceship in Hub. This is by far the hardest part of the quest line, as the truth is there is no spaceship so to speak of. Since this is "wacky" wasteland, so is our character, quest related NPCs and motives of these characters.
While you may want to try and find the "spaceship" on your own, the next paragraph continues with the actual solution. Various NPCs across the Hub have dialog options related to the spaceship in question which may give you the idea one of them knows its location which is nothing further from the truth.
Your character will realize they found their spaceship once they talk to Father Confessor, who preaches in the Church of the Followers of the Apocalypse, in the northern part of Water Merchants district in the Hub. There he will transform into the previously mentioned sinister figure and go on about the usual evil business. After that, he will task you with delivering a bag of bones to a certain prisoner located in the Hub's police department.
Rewards
- randomly broken limbs
- more soon, re-running the quest
Mission 2
You must deliver the bag of bones to one of the prisoners in the Hub's police department. The dialog should go pretty smooth and the prisoner in question will begin to experience unimaginable fear when presented with the bones. You goof off with the bones and observe as the poor prisoner boils and dies in agonizing pain. You have the option to take the bones back with you. Not sure if taking them or leaving changes anything. Haven't tested it out yet.
Rewards
You report back to Father Confessor and during this crazy encounter you destroy a statue and inside you find your reward, which gets you to go on the next part.
- 5 fool's gold
- 3 golden nuggets
Mission ? v1
I am not sure in which order these next 4 missions go.
You must travel to Redding to have your fool's gold inspected by a jeweler. Not just any jeweler. The NPC which you must reach is literally called "Jeweler", he's a black gentleman wearing a red shirt and lives in the south-eastern corner of Redding. Once you reach him, through the powers vested in you by dialog options, you bludgeon him to death with your fool's gold. While doing so, the fool's gold cracks open to reveal a crystal necklace inside.
Mission ? v2
In your crazy rambling you decide to kill the Hub's banker for the hell of it.
Mission ? v3
Your delusions have directed you towards the Golden Globes porn studio in New_Reno. Once there, you will again through the power of dialog options use your fool's gold to brutally murder one of the porn studio workers.
Mission ? v4
You decide on a complete whim that you must kill another banker and wonder if Hub has a new one already. Killing any banker through dialog options should work, but I tried the Hub one and it worked too.
Mission X
I'm not sure if this was because I accidentally provoked Dangerous Dan McGrew into getting killed by me, thinking this was part of the plot, but I ended up with various valuables at this point.
Madness has given you the next clue to follow - you must find a person who likes to talk about the Holy Flame. This person is actually the main preacher inside of the Cathedral_of_the_Lost located south of San_Francisco.
Admittedly the conversation with this preacher is pretty funny, so I won't spoil it to you. After the funny part, you two realize that the fool's gold you carried around everywhere is the famous godstone. Awesome as it may be, the preacher is clueless what to do with this and a bloodbath between everyone in the cathedral ensues. You are kept safe, as the fight happens only in roleplay square brackets in the dialog. At the end, the godstone forces you to absorb it and you find the preacher to be the last surviving person in the massive fight. You have the option of taking his stuff, but it's no use as he sets on fire, his sprite turns into the smiling burning man and this is where the quest line ends. For now.
