Seed Spitter (quest)

"Elves vs Drakels"

- Descriptive title

Seed Spitter is widely regarded as the initial quest in the AdventureQuest Storyline. It is an update to the now-Rare quest, The Dark Forest.

Synopsis
The Chosen, following a rumour as heard from Twilly, travels to Greenguard Forest to hunt a Seed Spitter down. Once the deed is done, a Elven warrior called Rilithia appears, pursued by a Mawler. As she is defeated, the Chosen battles the Mawler himself and kills it before it can harm the Elf for much longer. However, instead of showing gratitude, she battles her saviour out of pride, but is defeated and realizes her opponent is a true warrior who nevertheless might use some improvement.

She leads the Chosen to an unusually empty TreeTop, where the two are received by High Elder Pilagroth. He tells them of a war between the elves and the Drakel, who have invaded their sacred forest for reasons unknown. As the Chosen is asked not to reveal the location of TreeTop to anyone, Rilithia departs to the battlefield but is attacked by a Drakel Enforcer. Agreeing to the High Elder's request, the Chosen kills the Drakel and gives Rilithia a potion. She finally departs, not before telling the Chosen to find a human sage called Uldor, who apparently knows the Drakels' motivation...

Rilithia: Indeed, you are a true warrior. Although there is always room for improvement. My name is Rilithia, Lieutenant of the Elven army of Greenguard. «You»: Hello, I am «You». I was hunting Seed Spitters when I found you battling that Mawler. Rilithia: Interesting. Well, «You», follow me to TreeTop, where my fellow warrior elves gather for tests of ability.

'''You follow Rilithia through the Greenguard Forest. After several long hours, you come upon a village built amongst the trees.'''

«Scene: TreeTop.»

Rilithia: Strange, no one is here. TreeTop is usually crowded at this time.

An Elder enters the scene.

Rilithia: High Elder Pilagroth! Pilagroth: Lt. Rilithia. I see you have once again overlooked one of our sacred laws and brought an outsider into our home. Rilithia: But... TreeTop only borders-- Yes, I guess I have done wrong. I am sorry. But where has everyone gone? Pilagroth: Your brothers and sisters have been called to war in your absence. It seems a small Drakel army marches from the southlands. Pilagroth: They paid no heed to our warnings and continue to let their monstrous war-beasts feed on the forest's most ancient trees. Pilagroth: You must join your fellow warriors. Leave this one here, as I have something to ask. Rilithia: Yes, High Elder.

«Rilithia turns and prepares to leave the scene.

Rilithia: I must leave. I wish you well, «You». Perhaps this will help on your journeys.

''Rilithia passes two (2) health potions to you. Your total health potion counter increases by two (2) if not maxed out yet.''

Rilithia: OFF TO BATTLE!!!

Rilithia leaves the scene.

Pilagroth: «You», I must ask you never to reveal this location to anyone else, even an Elf of another land. Our way of life depends upon...

From off-screen, Rilithia's screams can be heard.

Rilithia: AAAAHHHHH!!!! Pilagroth: Rilithia is in trouble! Please help her!
 * Help

Moments later...

Not too far from TreeTop, you spot Rilithia wounded and kneeling on the ground.

Rilithia: One of the Drakel's forces is already here... spying...

A Drakel Spy flies into the scene.

Drakel Spy: Do not get in my way, creature. I must warn my Drakel brethren of the impending attack before it is too late!

Rilithia: Promise me, «You», promise me that you will help stop the Drakels... «You»: Drakels are shrouded in mystery. If we don't know the Drakels' motives, how can we be sure we're fighting on the right side? Rilithia: The side you fight for is always your choice. Find the human sage called Uldor. It is said that he knows... what... the Drakels want... ughhhhh...

Rilithia collapses to the ground from her injuries.

«You»: Rilithia?! Here, take this!

''You offer one health potion to Rilithia. This decreases your health potion counter by one (1). Rilithia rapidly recovers from her injuries and stands up.''

Rilithia: Ooohhh... Rilithia: Thank you, friend! There is no time to spare, I must hurry. Remember, find Uldor and you will find the truth. Rilithia: TO WAR!

'''Well done, hero! Find Sage Uldor at the lounge in Yulgar's Inn in Battleon, and you can now access the Drakel Black Market!'''
