[.86 Quest] Hey Derek, where's my quest? It was a good one!

from Elemental Forums

Remember?

You come upon a sleeping peddler under a tree.  Shaking him gently to see if he's alright, he awakens and offers you a magic seed if you promise not to hurt him. 

a ) Trade him one item for the magic seed

The seed can be planted in one of your cities and becomes a gildar tree.  The gildar tree produces +1 gildar per level of the city (it actually grows as the city gets bigger)

b ) Attack him for the seed

If you can kill him after he's wounded, you get the seed as treasure.  If you can't, then he uses the seed to restore himself to full health after being wounded and continues fighting.  The fight then ends in no treasure gained. 

c ) Leave him alone

He plants the seed right there creating a gildar tree that any faction can claim with an outpost or city.

What do you say?  Does it make the cut?

I don't understand, if he offers you a magic seed if you promise not to hurt him, can't you just take it and leave?

I think the premise needs to be re-written for the choices to make sense. Maybe you come across a peddler who is selling magic seeds. He offers to trade for a magical item.

 

a ) trade him an item

b ) try to steal the seed. If your dexterity is too low (say < 15), then he attacks you, calling magic creatures to aid him in battle (maybe ents?)

c ) leave him alone (he stays there until someone else trades or steals). Your option C also works if we need an immediate resolution.

D) Kill him and leave ( pun intended) the body there. The decomposition of the corpse will feed the growth of the tree and it gives double gildar! ^^

Derek must have chosen a different option with your quest to add your quest.
