[quests] Ambushed Caravan [medium] Lv. 16 (47 Supporters!)

Since the server is down at the time of making this, I found a cool quest idea. Here it is.

Step 1: Talk to the Lieutenant in the Detlas Barracks.

If too low level:
[Lieutenant]: Hey, recruit! We are in need of a few new hands to take care of these... minor tasks we keep getting bombarded with.
[2/2]: However, I don't think you're up for it just yet. Come back to me at level 16 then we have a certain task for you.

If high enough level:
[Lieutenant]: Hey, recruit! We are in need of a few new hands to take care of these... minor tasks we keep getting bombarded with.
[2/6]: We're already dealing with caravans carrying indispensable medicine that never turn up for some odd reason.
[3/6]: Anyway, there is this man, named Banu or whatever who had lost his caravan out in the Detlas Suburbs, and he needs someone to help him loot the caravan for a certain box, or something.
[4/6]: We already have many more important tasks to be handling right now, so I want you to settle this one.
[5/6]: If you're willing to take the offer, you will be rewarded with emeralds and 1 free piece of exquisite jewelry from our Treasury.
[6/6]: Now get going, we don't need any more disturbances right now. Speak to Banu and get it over with.

[New Objective: Speak to Banu for details.] Banu will be located at a Campfire in the Detlas Suburbs next to the main road. There will be a bow and arrows next to him being placed there for Armor Stands.

If you talk to the Lieutenant after starting the quest he will say:

[Lieutenant]: Hmm... this shipment of medicine for our soldiers is surely overdue? I wonder if something happened to them...
[2/2]: You're still here? Go to Banu and do your job. I have more pressing matters to attend to.

[Banu]: So the Lieutenant is sendin' recruits to do their dirty work. They can't just do it themselves as they sit in that building, gettin' drunk on Nemract Whiskey. What do they do all day that's important?
[2/6]: Anyway, you can help me. I'll give you the details.
[3/6]: A few nights ago, I was just heading to Detlas to sell my goods, until my horse got spooked by somethin' in the distance! My horse ain't scared of any ol' zombie, so what must'a spooked him was something even worse! Bandits? Beast? I don't know.
[4/6]: I've had valuables in that caravan, I would simply go broke if I didn't have them! I need to feed my sick family and all.
[5/6]: I'm afraid to go back to the caravan. After the ambush, the undead are now having a field day with the corpses. I've also uhh... broken my leg in the ambush, leaving a blood trail to the caravan. You're probably the best man for clearing it out.
[6/6]: Follow the blood trail to find the caravan behind me. Bring me [1 Herbs Stash] from the caravan. I don't think anyone'd taken it due to those vile creatures loitering in it.

[New Objective: Investigate the ruined caravan.]

Once you walk up to the caravan, a message will pop up in your chat that explains the details of the caravan.

The Caravan is covered in arrows. The driver is nowhere to be seen and the horse is already dead, though it is not decaying. There's scattered bloodstains that eventually form a trail back to Banu. Creatures of the Corruption are not capable of this.

There will be a tier I loot chest next to the caravan, and there will be level 15 zombies surrounding the caravan. There will be a Corpse (quest NPC) in the form of an armor stand laying against the caravan with a zombie head, wearing cyan leather tunic, blue leather pants, and iron boots.

Once you click on the corpse, this message will pop up:

The Corpse is littered with arrows all over her body. It seems she was killed very recently. There's a blood trail leading to the inside of the caravan. The Corpse has a key in its shirt pocket.
[+1 Crate Key (Quest Item)]

Inside the caravan, there will be a Crate NPC, which will just be a chest. If you activate it without the crate key, this message will pop up.

The Crate is locked. Perhaps a key will open it.

If you activate it with a key:

You open the crate, to find a few emeralds as well as a box inside it, containing some sort of plant.
[+32 emeralds.] [+1 Herbs Stash (Quest Item) (Chest head)]

[New Objective: Bring the Herbs Stash back to Banu.]

[Banu]: Ye got my herbs! thank you-
[2/6]: Put the weapon down! please! I swear I did not destroy the caravan- The corrupted did it...
[3/6]: Just put the weapon down and don't kill me! It was me alright. I had to do it.
[4/6]: I'm a poor hunter and my family is sick. I need that medicine to cure them. They will die without it. I just want them to be happy, and they're relyin on me to help that! I'm willin to go as far as murder if it will help them live another day.
[5/6]: Just please give me the box! I don't have much, but I can give you a special piece of jewelry and a good portion of emeralds! Just spare me! Don't tell the Lieutenant!
[6/6]: I'm helpless against you. What's more important to you? Justice? or doing the right thing. Just give me the herbs.

[Decisions: 1. Talk to the Lieutenant with the Herbs Stash to end the quest for more emeralds and a different reward. 2. Talk again to Banu with the Herbs Stash for less emeralds and a different reward.]

Ending 1:

[Lieutenant]: Hey, is that the shipment of medicine we've been waiting for? It's been long overdue. What happened?
You explain the details to the Lieutenant of the attack, and the perpetrator behind it.
[3/4]: Everything is much more clear now. Thank you. We will arrest Banu shortly for his hideous crime against us.
[4/4]: Here's your reward. A magic necklace, and some emeralds. I wish you luck on your travels.

Ending 2:

[Banu]: So, you're helping me?
[2/4]: Thank you! Thank you! Now my family can be well again.
[3/4]: Here's your reward. It's a special family necklace passed down from my grandfather. It contains magical properties I have yet to know about.
[4/4]: Here's some emeralds for the journey, too. I hope it goes well on your journey!

[256 emeralds. Necklace of Justice]

If you talk to Banu after Ending 1:
[Banu]: My family is dead. Think about what you've done. Now get out of my sight you damn dog.

If you talk to the Lieutenant after Ending 1:
[Lieutenant]: Thank you for catching the culprit and bringing us the medicine. Our sick soldiers are well again.

If you talk to Banu after Ending 2:
[Banu]: Thank you again for the herbs. My family's well again! I hope the necklace has been good for you.

If you talk to the Lieutenant after Ending 2:
[Lieutenant]: Dammit! why aren't the herbs here yet? Some of my soldiers are already dead due to this disease!
[2/2]: Oh hello again, recruit. Pardon my anger. It's none of your business.

I hoped you've liked the quest! Constructive Criticism is appreciated.

Changes:
1. Made major changes to the dialogue, and made slight changes to the rewards.

 

fIrsT!1!!1!

 

I like this quest. A nice low-leveled but still pretty story-heavy. You earned a supporter :p

 

I like the idea but the conversations seem a bit familiar, Good work.

 

uhhhh.

This seems like a cool quest, it's like An Iron Heart, but yet not. :3

 

I'll fix that right now before anyone gets any ideas from it...

 

Wow, someone suggested a quest that's not in the high levels!
...beacause I literally see every quest suggestion in the level 80-100 range...
Anyways, neat quest! However, add some color to your post :D

 

Wow... Just wow... You earned another supporter!

This is a great quest! Most people suggest quests that are level 80 - 100, but you made a low level quest that is simple amazing! I'd love to see this one get added in :)

 

I always like to see new quests being added to the game +1 support

 

We get it, you're roleplaying a character, but that doesn't mean you get to shitpost.


On topic, nice quest Nub_!

 

Simply amazing. +1 supporter
This is a great quest and gives you a chance to choose what you think is right :D
Make more perhaps?

 

Bump! I'd like to see more feedback to many this quest suggestion better! I also want to know why some people said No, if you're still going to look back at this ,so I can learn how to improve upon this if it's for good reason.

 

Where's the armor from the blacksmith earlier mentioned? And the community would have to chose over Steal or Regen too, whichever is better =3

I'd go back to Wynn just for this quest. This is amazing and creative! I love how there are two alternate endings!!!

 

Wow! I don't know how good those rewards are, but id like to do that quest. GG, nub_!

 

[1/1] Wizard: Yes, Quests look better when in the right colour

 

[1/1] CookedPelvis: Your green is a little too neon.

 

[1/1] Wizard: I couldn't be bothered, i was writing that on a small mobile device.

 

Bump. Made major changes to the dialogue and slightly altered both necklaces.

 

I LOVE IT :D we need more quests like this, with alternative endings. Only two questions: Where is Banu and the caravan located, and who was the "she" that was covered in arrows?
