Dalayan Beginner
Please note the below questline is in progress, I'll be posting as I write these up. Reserving top 7 posts(including this one) for quest blocks. EDIT: It's complete. Please poke around and feedback :)

Code: 
Quest Name: “The (Faded or Waterlogged depending on quest trigger) Scrap”

Quest Giver: Either “A Faded Scrap” or “A Waterlogged Scrap” when examined.

Class/Race Restrictions: Necromancer required

Level Range: 1-65(recommended 1-5)

Zone: Newport Sewers

Faction Requirement: Indifferent or greater with Cult of Entropy

General Summary of the Quest: Pointer quest, to initiate the NEW Necromancer Newport Cup questline!


List of all MOBs, with names, location and what they drop:
A sewer rat
A sewer ratling
A sewer ratman
Add “A Faded Scrap” and “A Waterlogged Scrap” to the loot tables for all of the above.

Dialog Tree for Quest Giver:
“A Faded Scrap”
Upon examination this scrap of paper appears to be part of an invitation to the Enchanter's guild to enter their team into the Newport Cup! The scrap is faded enough to be easily changeable, perhaps Decay Lord Grindun would be interested in this….

“A Waterlogged Scrap”
Upon examination this soggy scrap of paper appears to be part of an invitation to enter a team into the Newport Cup! The scrap is soggy enough to be barely legible, but perhaps Decay Lord Grindrun would be interested in this….


Dialog for other involved NPCs:
Upon turnin to Decay Lord Grindrun:
NPC: “Interesting find, %playername. I believe we can put this to use after all.”
D1 option: “Yes master, how can I serve in this matter”
NPC: “We're going to enter our own tam into the Newport Cup this year! Finally, we shall put those sniveling cowards in South Newport in their place!”
D1 option: “Our own team?”
NPC: “Yes, the Plague Boil will win the Newport Cup this year, %playername. And YOU shall ensure our victory!”

Journal Update: The (Faded/Waterlogged) Scrap Completed. You gain 250 xp!

D1 option: “How shall I do that”
IF D1 option – Journal Update: The Plague Boil has been added to your journal(See The Plague Boil I)
D2 option: “The Newport Cup? What a waste of time”
If D2 option -
   Decay Lord Grindrun scowls at you “Impertinent Whelp, begone!”

Proposed Reward: 250xp for completing pointer quest. Pointer quest REQUIRED to initiate Necromancer Newport Cup questline.


Anything else we need to implement your quest: Make “A Faded Scrap” and “A Waterlogged Scrap” starter quests mutually exclusive. Flag characters who have completed, or accepted, either task to no longer receive Scrap drops from relevant mobs.

Quest Name: “The Plague Boil” Part 1



Quest Giver: Decay Lord Grindrun



Class/Race Restrictions: Necromancer required



Level Range: 1-65(recommended 6-10)



Starting Zone: Newport Sewers



Faction Requirement: Indifferent+ Cult of Entropy



General Summary of the Quest: The Plague Boil is prepping for the Newport Cup, and Decay Lord Grindrun has tasked me with sabotaging the South Newport Magician's team in preparation.





List of all MOBs, with names, location and what they drop:

Janitor Tomin (Southern Newport)

A magician apprentice (Southern Newport, triggered spawn)



Dialog Tree for Quest Giver:

“We've received reports that Janitor Tomin has been targeted by the Explosive Flame, some kind of a spat between the Wizards and the Magicians over a mascot, and he has agreed to help us. Take this note to him. He'll fill you in on the rest of our plan.”

D1 option: “On my way, master.”

You receive 'forged note' from Decay Lord Grindun.

Dialog for other involved NPCs:

Janitor Tomin(upon handing over the 'forged note'):

“Excellent! This note is a perfect forgery of Hayden Aulder's handwriting, %playername, when the Explosive Flame's lackey arrives knock them out, and plant this note on them before they wake. The mages will assume the crime was committed by the wizards, and the two teams will tear each other apart, ensuring your victory!”

D1 option: “I am prepared”

Flavor text D2 option: “Why are you working against the Wizard's guild, Tomin?”

NPC response “Every year I take care of their stupid mascot, and every year the mages beat me up and the wizards dont even give me hazard pay! I'm no cultist, but just once I want to see those two teams knocked down a peg!”



You receive 'forged note' back from Janitor Tomin and 'A magician apprentice' spawns(level 8, mage class. Gnome. With pointy blue hat and robe….). At 20% the mage becomes unattackable and falls to the floor. Give them the note. When you do the mage despawns, and the quest updates.

Journal update “I have successfully framed the wizard's guild for the brutal beating of a magician apprentice, I should return to Decay Lord Gridrun and see what's next.”

A Strongbox(South Newport Inn, Second Floor)

Summoner Sven(strongbox key)

Dialog Tree for Quest Giver:

“Well done on setting the Wizards and Mages at each others throats, now we must sabotage their teams by more… indirect means. The Wixard and Mage teams receive their gear from the Enchanters guild, we are going to steal their gear and delay the Enchanters so they can't replace the shipments before the Cup.”



D1 option: “How are we to do that, master?”

“We're going to slip a small vial of plague to Summoner Sven. His magics will protect him from any permanent corruption from such a small dose, but he's going to be terribly ill for days! Once he has been plagued, steal his strongbox key, slip into the inn room where he stores the gear that is to be sold to the other teams and bring it back here!”

D1 option: “Excellent, master, it will be my pleasure.”

You receive 'an empty small plague vial' from Decay Lord Grindun.

[ An Empty Small Plague Vial. Container. Slots: 4. Weight Reduc: 0. Capacity: tiny]

“Good, %playername, go out and fill this vial with four plague samples. You can find them on the ratmen in the sewers, but not all of them are infected, so you may have to kill more than a few!”

D1 option: “On my way, master.”



Upon receiving 4 a plague sample and combining them in an empty small plague vial you receive 'a small plague vial' Take this vial to Summoner Sven in the Enchanter's guild in South Newport and hand it into him.

Dialog for other involved NPCs:

Summoner Sven: “Oooh, what's this? A new ale, you say? Well then, bottoms up!”

Summoner Sven doubles over in pain, sounds of retching ensue.

Summoner Sven flees the guildhall, dropping something as he runs past you.

You receive 'a strongbox key'

Head to the Lion's Mane Inn, and find 'A strongbox' on the second floor. “give' the key to the strongbox to receive “team gear”.

Journal update: I have successfully plagued Summoner Sven and aqcuired the gear meant for the Wizard and Magician guilds, I should return the gear to Decay Lord Grindrun and see what's in store next.
