The Festival - The War (Part 4)
If at least 2 days have passed after completing "last preparations - the war (part 3)", entering both villages will remind you that the festival of frolic (for the lizards) and of fire (for the bulls) are happening soon, so everyone is working feverishly to make sure everything is ready in time. Both chiefs will demand their presence in their rooms, for the same request: someone stole many fruits, vital for both festivals, and you are the one entrusted to find and bring them back.
The Mission
The mission itself is only one: talk to either village's shopkeeper to get some bags and go search for the thief to retrieve the fruits, in any way. You won't get any useful indication, but first you are supposed to visit:
- The place where you fought the demon boss (just west of the tavern)
- The place where you found the lizard spy (just south of the bull village)
Now face the first wild beast of the game, a katos: this monster has 300 HP and starts with 20 lust, as a hint to tell you that he is vulnerable to tease attacks, and tends to hit pretty hard, so bind up and defend if needed. This katos kills you if you lose and has no sex scene (the chance will come later in the game, after going away and coming back to the forest). Teasing should still be a bit easier if you are not too unlucky. The beast itself is worth 600 EXP and drops a katos horn.
Quest Endings
This time there's no neutral route: either give the fruits back to the lizards or to the bulls, also, whether or not you invited Thane during part 3 does matter, so the quest itself has 4 endings:
Give the Fruits to the Lizards; Thane is at the Tavern
- You will participate in the festival of frolic
- If the lizard trio is still alive (from part 2) you can either talk to Selye or enjoy a silly scene with them
- The next morning though, you wake up to the news that one of the lizards' camps was recently attacked by the bulls
- Nauxus can be more or less suspicious of you depending on how you acted here and in the previous parts
- Back at the tavern Snow immediately tells you Thane came back injured last night
- Hakan brought 2 bull healers here, who took Thane back to the tribe
- Finally, the moment you step into the bull village, you see 3 dead lizard prisoners hanged
Give the Fruits to the Lizards; Thane is Not at the Tavern
- Same as above, but Thane got directly to his village
Give the Fruits to the Bulls; Thane is at the Tavern
- You won't participate in the festival of fire, because Thane shows up severely hurt at the tavern
- After some first aid and patrolling the zone, you are also the one who has to give the chief the bad news, which understandably make him boil with rage
- After the 2 bull healers he sent take Thane back to the tribe, the next time you set foot in the village 3 of his lizard prisoners are about to be hanged in front of everyone
- Based on how you acted here or in previous parts, you may or may not be given the option to stop it
- Regardless of that, the war will start
- Back at the lizard tribe, Nauxus will tell you one of their camps has been attacked by the bulls already
- As mentioned above, he may or may not think you were involved according to how you acted so far
Give the Fruits to the Bulls; Thane is Not at the Tavern
- You do participate in the festival of fire, until a bloodied Thane shows up at the entrance of the village, and is eventually taken away by the healers
- The rest goes on as above
Rewards
The reward for the quest is always 400 coins and 1 level up point, also your friends in the tavern will have different comments depending on the ending you got.
