950,000 EXP (subject to change)
5 LE
High Snail's Wish (stats afterwards)

To Start: Find Nilas in Ahmsord at [1024, 110, -4582].
If not of level:
[1/1] Nilas: Hi! I'd love your help, but I think that the snails are too powerful for you until level 97!
Quest Start:
[1/4] Nilas: Hi, friend! If you've been here before, you should know that our crops are dying!
[2/4] Nilas: To whom?! The snails, of course! They're the most dangerous pests in all 4 provinces!
[3/4] Nilas: If you could, please kill the High Snail! It should stop a lot of their efforts! Bring me one [High Snail Shell Fragment] as proof!
[4/4] Nilas: You're worried?! You should be fine! You've probably killed gods at this point! But hey, who knows what you did?! Good luck!
[Quest Started: Attack of the Snails]
If talked to again:
[1/1] Nilas: Didn't you hear?! I need one [High Snail Shell Fragment] as proof that the snails have been stopped!

Stage 1: Go defeat the High Snail at [1018, 150, -4837].
There is now a cave there as a tp region. It tps you to a comforting room, complete with a fire, chairs, and carpet. However, is is strangely circular. Two snails are in it, but don't seem aggressive towards you. Maybe you should talk to them.
[1/12] ???: WOAH!!! It's a... a... ah forget it!
[2/12] ???: It's a HUMAN, Sneil! Haven't you learned anything from your classes?!?!?!
[3/12] Sneil: I DON'T STUDY SOMETIMES, OKAY?!?!?!?!?
[4/12] ???: Sorry for the bickering, this definitely doesn't happen very often! I'm Snoil, and this is my friend Sneil!
[5/12] Sneil: Hi hamun!
[6/12] Snoil: I just told you, it's HUMAN! Don't you learn anything?!
[7/12] Sneil: YES! Okay, this time it was my fault! I'll admit it!
[8/12] Sneil: Oh no, we haven't even asked the human what they're doing here! What are you doing here?!
[9/12] Snoil: Oh, you wish to see the High Snail?! You probably can't even see one of his guards! Did anyone send you here?!
[10/12] Sneil: Yeah! Why would a HUMAN of all things want to see the High Snail?!
You tell the snails that Nilas sent you. They look surprised.
[11/12] Sneil: NILAS?! He's the High Snail's advisor! This must be serious business! I forget the last time a non-snail was asked by Nilas to see the High Snail! I really should study more for school!
[12/12] Snoil: Wow, for once I actually forget too! Anyways, if you want to get to the High Snail, you'll have to go through our village! The main path should take you right to his palace! Watch out though, non-snails aren't usually welcomed! But hey, not many of them know what you did!
[Quest Book Updated]

Speak to them again:
[1/1] Sneil and Snoil: Just take the main path! You'll get to the High Snail in no time!

There'd be quite a few snail-villager-unrequireds, but I'm too lazy to write dialog. Plenty of silly easter eggs here.

Stage 2: Take the path to see the High Snail.
When you get there, two snails are on guard. They aren't sure of your passage...
[1/4] Snail Guard 1: WOW! A human! I can't believe it! Wait, what are you doing trying to get to the High Snail?!
You explain yourself, hoping that they'll believe your story.
[2/4] Snail Guard 2: Huh! Not too believable, let me see your quest book and see how many great deeds you've done! Then maybe I can believe you!
You hand over your quest book. They somehow turn the pages and look at your completed quests.
[3/4] Snail Guards: ...
[4/4] Snail Guards: You may pass.

Stage 3: Seek to talk with the High Snail.
You are tp'd to a large-ish room, with Nilas (now a snail) in the middle.
[1/16] Nilas: ...
[2/16] Nilas: You made it past the guards.
[3/16] Nilas: At least you have some honesty.
[4/16] Nilas: I guess that you do have some redeeming factors in your pile of sins.
[5/16] Nilas: You wish to seek to talk with the High Snail? I guess you should.
[6/16] Nilas: Maybe you could redeem yourself. But knowing your greed...
[7/16] Nilas: You'd kill him, wouldn't you?
[8/16] Nilas: The only thing you've ever cared for was your own image. Your strength. Your pride.
[9/16] Nilas: Killing thousands of creatures to get stronger.
[10/16] Nilas: Doing evil deeds to get money and boost yourself.
[11/16] Nilas: But I guess that's not all you have in store.
[12/16] Nilas: You've stopped many evils from plaguing the land too.
[13/16] Nilas: Many others don't have that kind of claim to fame.
[14/16] Nilas: You can pass. But a fair warning...
[15/16] Nilas: ...
[16/16] Nilas: He knows what you did.

Stage 4: Speak with the High Snail.
You walk into a long hallway. It seems to get more and more overgrown the farther along you go. A voice speaks to you as you go along...
[1/18] ???: HELLO HUMAN.
[2/18] ???: YOU'VE MADE IT HERE. CONGRATULATIONS.
[3/18] ???: MANY OTHERS DO NOT MAKE IT.
[4/18] ???: BUT YOU SEEM TO BE FAIRLY REDEEMABLE.
[5/18] ???: I DON'T KNOW OF VERY MANY ADVENTURERS WHO HOLD THAT TITLE.
[6/18] ???: YOU SEE, I AM THE HIGH SNAIL.
[7/18] High Snail: THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE.
[8/18] High Snail: IT IS A BLEAK PLACE, OVERRUN WITH GREED.
[9/18] High Snail: I'VE TRIED TO STOP IT FROM HAPPENING, TALKING TO VILLAGERS AND ADVENTURERS TO STOP THEIR WAYS.
[10/18] High Snail: I FEAR THAT THEY DIDN'T LISTEN.
[11/18] High Snail: I NEED SOMEONE WHO COULD REGRET THEIR WAYS. LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES.
[12/18] High Snail: I NEED SOMEONE WHO CAN GIVE ME HOPE.
[13/18] High Snail: HUMAN, IF YOU WISH TO PROVE YOUR STRENGTH TO ME...
[14/18] High Snail: SHOW YOUR WORTH, TO BRING ME HOPE...
[15/18] High Snail: THEN I CHALLENGE YOU TO DEFEAT ME IN A FIGHT.
[16/18] High Snail: DO NOT WORRY HUMAN, FOR I AM MORE GOD THAN SNAIL. I WILL COME BACK.
[17/18] High Snail: SO IF YOU WISH TO PROVE YOUR WORTH...
[18/18] High Snail: I INVITE YOU TO STRIKE ME DOWN.

B O S S F I G H T B O Y Z!
The boss fight is a little weird but hey I want more gimmicky boss fights. The fight occurs in a large sphere, and looks more like a terrarium you'd keep like a turtle in than a boss chamber. Mobs spawn, but there's two kinds: Mortal's Greed are heavy hitters, are aggressive, and spawn more often than the other kind. The other kind is Snail's Hope and are defending mobs, but are rarer. You have to rely on these to help you make your way through the chamber. Now, you may be wondering where the actual boss is. There are four chambers on each side of the room, and in each one is a puzzle. After completing the puzzle, there's a room that opens that contains a Snail Core. It's a mob simply to give you an item, which after getting all four of you can give to an NPC in the middle of the boss room. It's basically one of those Exit NPCs you have in Realm of Light. It then lets you enter the final door, where the quest proceeds.

[1/8] High Snail: ...YOU DID IT. I'M SURPRISED.
[2/8] High Snail: YOU HAVE MANAGED TO DEFEAT ME IN COMBAT.
[3/8] High Snail: I HAVE HOPE NOW. THANK YOU, ADVENTURER.
[4/8] High Snail: I AM ABOUT TO LOSE MY PHYSICAL PRESENCE.
[5/8] High Snail: BUT YOU HAVE LET ME REST EASY. IF MANY OF YOU AGAINST GREED COULD DO THAT...
[6/8] High Snail: I'D SAY THE WORLD IS IN GOOD HANDS.
[7/8] High Snail: IN REWARD, I GIVE YOU MY WISH. CONSIDER IT A GOOD LUCK CHARM.
[8/8] High Snail: I WILL FOREVER KNOW WHAT YOU DID.

This helmet glimmers with a snail's blessing. It contains godly forces unknown to many mages.

Disclaimer: I honestly am just doing this because I was tired of the trash quests on General Suggestions, and I'm bored because the snow's destroying my internet. Literally just a fanquest. Seriously. If this gets enough support I might put it in the title. Who knows.

 

I'm too weak to fight the common snail.

 

first

DAMNIT WASNT First...

can you delete your comment, and re add it AFTER mine :?

 

No

 

Fanquest or not, it's really great. +1 Support.

 

if this quest is added hi new endgame mage helmet :D

 

Well snails. They have many uses amirte?
Great quest tho

 

Okay...

 

nice quest!

 

Oh yeah! And Nilas is an anagram of "snail."
I wasn't the first to notice that, was I.

 

Now this is a quest! I hope this gets added later on

 

Without the boost of the trash quests in General Suggestions (There shud bee a qest wer u fite a big cow) this is a very well thought out quest, with lots of colour, a good story, funny characters and useful rewards.

With the boost of the trash quests: PLEASE ADD THIS QUEST RIGHT NOW IT'S THE BEST QUEST EVER!

I do have one critisism however. You make such a big build up to this boss fight to simply have it be puzzles and mobs to get an item. I would've liked it far more if you'd need to do the puzzles then fight the High Snail. Having such a big build up to it and then just having it be "You did the puzzles, good job, here's an item to complete the quest with" makes it feel...lazy. It conforms to most of the quests I've seen in WC: Kill a boss, get an item OR Do a puzzle, get an item.

Other than that, it's a really good quest.

Alert:
You have gained 1 supporter!

 

not a big fan of the armor, but the quest is pretty interesting :D

 

instead of having the armor reward it should be a bracelet that adds to the Snail set.

 

Does this mean something? :o

 

Nah. Just put it in because wynaut.

 

Oh okay :P Nice work doe.
The only problem i seem to have with the quest is that its basically talking and a boss fight.
Try to add things like a puzzle to enter the cave, maybe some enemy snails on the way there, just something else then just talking and the boss fight

 

Amazing, except for the first part

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's technecly 3 provinces. Wynn, Gavel, and Fruma. Dern is not technecly of a province. (Idk why, but the subject of Dern being or not being a province has come up quite a bit in the past few days).

Other than that great work?

Tho you never actually fight the high snail

 

Can we also get a full snail set as reward too?

 

So umm why is the snail high?
