A Simple Favor

A Simple Favor is a quest in .

Synopsis
"Irlene Greyridge, adventurous supplier of magical items from the capital, has asked the baron/baroness/King/Queen to help her with a few ventures. In exchange, she promises something very valuable and rare."

Return the Chest of Genuine Gemstones

 * ''Irlene's assistant should have brought her a chest of genuine gemstones, but he's gone missing while traveling to the southern border of the barony/kingdom. The halfling wants the gemstones returned. She needs them to pay for a \special request\ for the baron/baroness/King/Queen. Ollie's wife, who lives at Lake Silverstep, might know something of her husband's whereabouts.


 * Ollie's wife Lidika can be found in south-west corner of Lake Silverstep Village, which in it's turn is located east of the Capital on the peninsula of Lake Silverstep (east->east->south->east->east->east->north->east from the Capital).
 * Lidika shows up as "Villager" and is the halfling woman.

Lidika gives a hint, that her husband gone missing somewhere on the southern borders of the barony. That location is Dragonleaf Gulch (east->east->south->south->east->east->east->south from the Capital). There you'll find a Poisonous Giant Flytrap and the body of Ollie with the chest of quest gems on it. Now you can go straight to Irlene, or take a detour to Lidika to tell her about her husband's fate. You can also promise to support Lidika and her family (LG choice, -1 BP per week) or give the chest to Lidika (predictably that fails the quest). If you deliver the chest to Irlene, she tells you to wait one week, after which the next stage of the quest begins.

Obtain a Unicorn's Horn for Irlene

 * ''Irlene's \partner\ wants a special trophy, a unicorn's horn from the Narlmarches. It won't be easy to find. Only the baron/baroness/King/Queen can do it!

One Unicorn's Horn can be found together with some scrolls in the room section (room to the right at the end of the corridor) - western part of the Abandoned Keep in a trapped Trickery 36 and locked Trickery 22 chest during the main quest Betrayer's Flight. Return the horn to Irlene for 780 xp.

Outcome
"Irlene has what she wanted. Now she can take care of the \special request\ for her benefactor, unless the baron/baroness/King/Queen requires something else…"
