Dialogue[]
You start the quest in a dark forest.....
Chico: I hate traveling at night. Did I tell you that already?
You: Yes. A hundred times. But in some places, Darkovia seems to ALWAYS be engulfed in night.
Chico: I think I see something up ahead! We might be near to the cure! We'll get rid of your affliction soon enough!
Shadows pass across the forest floor.
Chico: Holy webbed snooters!! Did you see those shadows??
- 1 BATTLE: Evil Eye (x3)
You: And you were worried that a few flying eyeballs could pose a threat to me.
Chico: Actually no... I was only worried that a few flying eyeballs could pose a threat to ME.
The forest grows darker...
Chico: Um...did this place actually just get DARKER or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
You: No, it just got darker.
Chico: What on Lore could actually make Darkovia even darker than it already is??!
You: Probably just more evil closing in on us.
Chico: Oh, okay. For a second there you had me worried again...
- 1 BATTLE
- Level 0-25: Moglin Fiend
- Level 26-49: Moglin Phantom
- Level 50+: Undead Moglin Demon
Chico: *Shivers* Promise that you won't let some necromancer make me an undead. I can't bear the thought of an afterlife being constantly owned by heavily armed warriors.
You: I see something up ahead too! Let's hurry up before more trouble finds us!
You enter a cave.
Chico: Nice cave. It's actually pretty warm in here compared to outside.
You: So far all the rumors are true. There IS a cave out here in the middle of Darkovia...
Chico: Yeah, and like that sage told us, the cave is made of "rock as red as blood"!
You: NOW the question is ... which way do we go to find this fabled "cure"?
Chico: I see three passageways up ahead. Which one should we try first?
- Take the western passage
- Take the southern passage
- Take the eastern passage
Chico: Nothing seems to be this way...
Slayer T: Halt! You fiend! Now you will fall, and your evil will cease to plaque the world!

- Level 0-25: Vampire Slayer (30)
- Level 26-49: Vampire Slayer (60)

Or:
Chico: Hm, looks like a bad choice ...
Slayer V: You go no further! You have breathed your final breath, foul creature of the night!
- 1 BATTLE
- Level 0-25: Vampire Slayer (30)
- Level 26-49: Vampire Slayer (60)
- Level 50+: Vampire Slayer (90)
Or:
Chico: This seems to be the wrong way ...

- 1 BATTLE
- Level 0-25: Vampire Slayer (30)
- Level 26-49: Vampire Slayer (60)
- Level 50+: Vampire Slayer (90)
You: I wonder if there really ISN'T a cure for vampirism and lycantrophy??
Chico: Yeah, you're right... let's just leave now (and maybe keep from being assaulted by more people in crazy hats!)
The ground shakes!
Chico: Aaaahh!! What in the gunglerum was that??
The cave floor cracks and a pool of green sludge is revealed. You also get a full heal.
Chico: Well, I guess there's our answer. According to the legends, to cure yourself you need to drink some of that... green sludge.
Mmmm Green Sludge! (Is it safe?)
General Surgeon's Warning: Drinking random green sludge that bubbles out of the ground may be dangerous to your health and may result in a number of serious side effects...obviously. Horrifying recoloration of the hair may be temporary, but the stench will last for years. Claims made by the manufacturer of this sludge that the product cures Lycanthropy, Hair Growth, and Vampirism have not been FDAtested. This product is not intended to diagnose, cure or prevent any disease. Rule #3: Whatever you do, never let your Moglin in the sludge...
- Drink the green sludge
- You: Mmm-mm! that was some delicious green sludge! Great taste, less filling! We should bottle this stuff and sell it on eBay!
- You are cured of vampirism/lycanthropy/werepyrism!
- I'm not drinking green sludge!
- You: I'm not going anywhere NEAR that gak!! I'll just live with my affliction for now...
Chico runs to the edge of the pool.
Chico: Holy Noseflicker speckles! This stuff is gross...but then again...I really want to dive in!
You: Chico? Are you OK?
Chico: Mmmmm......so squishy jammy toe snarfles soft.....and warm!
You: Chico! Do not even dare think about jumping in that goo...you read the warning!
Chico: So.......warm..........
You: Chico?!!!!
Chico: Hahahaha....I was just messing with you. let's get out of here, it is scary!
You: That is not very funny. What would have happened if you fell in there....you could have turned into a giant monster or something!
Chico: No way, do you seriously think the AQ team has enough time to build stuff that kind of complicated stuff?
The ground trembles...
You and Chico: Uh oh ...
The ground trembles again and Chico falls into the sludge ....
You: Chico.........!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chico: You know...this stuff is pretty warm! Hey...why are my feet getting so big? Oh no!
- 1 BATTLE: Red Moglinster
You: That was pretty cool! Jump back in there again!
Chico: WHAT!!?!?! I hate scary underground caves with mutating sludge. Did I say that already?
You: Right...now let's head back to the equally scary cursed forest!
Chico: ...
