JOURNAL

Gareth Rucker
Steppe, Adventures outpost.

Take the artefact to Colt in the Great Steppe Stronghold. He may know more about it.

Notes

Have you sorted out the artifact at the Quarran Altar Obelisk yet? Is there something in this drink you gave me? I feel a little... crook.

Run this over to Colt, he can probably fiddle with it and unlock its true power!

Dialogue

NPC

Maybe you can take it for me... It'll let you reveal its true... visage.

NPC

Now rack off so I can enjoy the drink ya brought me!

NPC

And Shawna suggested I take it to Barnaby. Maybe it'd get him off my back.

NPC

Strewth! Those eyes... so full of potential.

NPC

Oh, that's sweet as. Such a beaut face shouldn't be troubled.

NPC

No worries, though I was hoping to see your eyes light up with intrigue.

NPC

Knocking me back? Intriguing... your face hides many secrets.

NPC

Fair enough. Faces like yours are hard to forget... even if I try.

NPC

But after he inspects it, bring it straight back to me! For... uh... The KING!

NPC

So I found this artifact thing? It's called the "Heart of Souls".

NPC

This'll get me on the King's nice list for sure.

NPC

Why don't you run this to Colt "Muffinman" McGrady. He's usually savvy with these things.

NPC

And you? Well... Actually I can still use you.

NPC

Catch your breath! What have you got for me, soldier?

NPC

Yes... yes! The real, actual, physical Heart of Souls ?

NPC

I was going to take it to the Quarran Altar Obelisk first to see its true enchantment. But something about it... it won't let me.

Assistant

Oh no... It looks like the Heart of Souls was... possessed with an evil spirit. It probably took control of Gareth. I feel terrible, but, it was probably necessary to give him that concoction. Get the artefact to Barnaby, he'll be able to get it to the King.

NPC

Go on! Get!
