Transcript of Carnillean Rising journal entry
- Sir Ceril Carnillean wanted me to construct a quest for his son, Philipe, to teach the boy to be an adventurer. He told me to work with Crichton, the butler.
- Butler Crichton pointed out how we could adapt the cave to create the quest. I constructed the features on Sir Ceril's list:
- Cobwebs:
- I ripped up a net curtain to build a fake cobweb across the cave entrance.
- Obstacle:
- I created a pit of spikes to block the passage, using some metal spikes found in the cellar, so that Philipe would have to climb across a ledge.
- Patrolling guards:
- I hired a pair of goblins to act as patrolling guards for Philipe to sneak past.
- Traps:
- I tied twine around the base of some supports to form two tripwire traps.
- Jail guard:
- Claus the Chef agreed to pose as a guard in the cave.
- Guardian dragons:
- I positioned two juvenile cave wolves and dressed them up as dragons.
- Damsel in distress:
- I took Sarsaparilla into the cave and tied her up.
- Riches:
- I gave Claus a bag of money for Philipe to loot.
- Decorating the cave:
- I decorated some of the cave wall to make the place more sinister.
- I invited Philipe to try the quest. After I'd stolen his sweets, he agreed to do the quest in order to get some more.
- I led Philipe down to the cave.
- With a little coaxing, Philipe climbed across the ledge to pass the obstacle I'd created.
- After I interrupted the guards' patrols, Philipe was able to sneak past.
- Philipe came across the tripwires, and needed a tool to cut them.
- Philipe successfully disarmed the two tripwires.
- Disguised in Sarsaparilla's dress, Philipe easily persuaded the jail guard to accept a jug of Sir Ceril's fortified wine. This incapacitated the guard Philipe looted a bag of money from the drunken guard
- I gave Philipe a sword with which to slay the guardian dragons. However, a Cave Wolf Matriarch came out to avenge her pups.
- Philipe succeeded in slaying the Cave Wolf Matriarch, with a little help from me.
- He cut Sarsaparilla's bonds and escorted her to the safety of the mansion.
- Butler Crichton returned Philipe's stolen sweets to him as a reward for completing his quest.
- Sir Ceril was delighted to hear that Philipe had performed so well in the quest. He seems genuinely proud of his son
- Xenia returned to Ardougne to tell me that she planned the encounter with the Cave Wolf Matriarch. She thought it would be good for Philipe!
- Sir Ceril told me that Philipe had left home to seek out adventure. He and Philipe had placed some items in a nearby chest for me as my reward
