Changes: Vignette (Praetor)

Revision as of 10:09, 29 January 2018

This is the first quest for the Praetor Background in The Age of Decadence. Like all the other Vignettes, it is a mostly-linear sequence of events that places a certain map into the hands of the player-character; unlike all the others, it concludes with that map in the hands of Antidas.

Brief

Lord Antidas requires your services. You're his only hope.

Quick walkthrough

Talk to Lord Antidas
Talk to Dellar
Talk to Linos
- (Optional) Deal with Zenon
Return to Antidas

Detailed walkthrough

Talk to Lord Antidas.
- Etiquette #+: You may request armor; if you do, Antidas replies "Talk to Dellar", and in the next scene you will be wearing your very own suit of fancy, heavy bronze!
Talk to Linos:
- Intelligence #+: You may demand access to the real culprit:
  - Streetwise #+: Linos grants you a private moment with Zenon:
    - Spare Zenon, or kill him?
      - If you spare him, you make one of two demands: money or "surprise me."
Return to Lord Antidas; you are rewarded according to your efforts.
Talk to Dellar.
- The New Loremaster begins; choose to exit dialog at Dellar's post or Feng's House.
