Tasks for Tickets and Items

2 weeks before the festival opened, aberrant breaches opened randomly throughout the 5 provinces. A Halfling priest of Glythtide, found near the Meeting portals in most cities, tasked adventurers to help gather samples, purify items and bring supplies to them in a series of tasks. Completion of the tasks resulted in points and currency.

• Purify diseased bits of khor'vela:

The Halfling priest says, "The balance has tipped towards misery and suffering at the hands of Be'ort. We must work together to find a way to rein in the blight spreading from The Sickness to the other sacred groves. If you find yourself in a position to assist the cause, I could certainly direct you where needed."

He continues, "I've heard that some have found a way to purify the corrupted timber left behind by the beltunumshi. If you could perform such purifications and learn from them, I would be very keen to hear of your successes and failures. Purify <number> diseased bits of khor'vela to see what you can learn and report back."

• To complete this task, kill the Corrupted Khor'vela Beltunumshi and collect the wood pieces they drop. Then, get some Holy water and POUR WATER ON <WOOD PIECE>, 2 times for each piece. Save the purified piece to turn in with future tasks. Once you have purified the requested number of pieces, return to the priest and ASK PRIEST ABOUT TASK.

• corrupted khor'vela timber becomes replenished khor'vela timber of the same noun type (branch/chip/limb/shaving/sprig/stick/switch/twig).

• Supply food and/or drink:

He continues, "I hate to admit it, but I've been so busy directing others to and fro, I seem to have missed a couple of meals." He shifts from one foot to another uncomfortably. "Could I perhaps bother you to bring me some tarts or maybe a drink of some sort? I think I might quite enjoy a cupcake, too!"

He grins sheepishly before quietly asking, "Maybe you could bring me <number>? It could be a while before I have time to ask again. I promise not to be too picky and very grateful!"

• To complete this task, bring any item with the noun tart or cupcake and GIVE it to the priest. Additionally, many items you can DRINK may also be turned in.

• Return corrupted bits:

The Halfling priest says, "The balance has tipped towards misery and suffering at the hands of Be'ort. We must work together to find a way to rein in the blight spreading from The Sickness to the other sacred groves. If you find yourself in a position to assist the cause, I could certainly direct you where needed."

He continues, "The corrupted beltunumshi sometimes leave behind pieces of themselves. These twisted, mangled limbs bear a concentrated form of the corruption plaguing the groves. If you could return <number> such corrupted bits of their bodies, others in my order can perform further research into ways we can halt the spread from The Sickness."

• To complete this task...

• Return replenished pieces of the khor'vela beltunumshi:

The Halfling priest says, "The balance has tipped towards misery and suffering at the hands of Be'ort. We must work together to find a way to rein in the blight spreading from The Sickness to the other sacred groves. If you find yourself in a position to assist the cause, I could certainly direct you where needed."

He continues, "Adventurers such as yourself are bringing me corrupted pieces of fallen beltunumshi as well as researching methods of purging the disease from the remains. Could you acquire, directly or from another, <number> replenished pieces of the khor'vela beltunumshi?"

• To complete this task, GIVE pieces of replenished khor'vela timber to the priest. These can be created by pouring Holy water on corrupted corrupted khor'vela timber, or can also drop periodically drop from the Corrupted Khor'vela Beltunumshi.

• Return pieces of the breach:

• To complete this task, ASK PRIEST ABOUT BREACH for a list of the current locations. Once outside a breach, SCRAPE it until you recover pinch of prismatic residue. Once you've recovered the required number, return to the priest and GIVE RESIDUE TO PRIEST.

• note: as with other tasks, if you DECLINE one from the priest, there is a timer until you may request another.

Rewards

• These points will result in participation points and some coin. These points can be obtained even without a ticket to the festival.
• ASK PRIEST ABOUT REWARD to check your total accumulated points (short version).
• ASK PRIEST ABOUT WORK:

Unexpectedly serious for a Halfling, the Halfling priest leans in and whispers, "We think our brothers and sisters of The Sickness went too far. We are all tasked with maintaining a balance so that the great khor'vela can continue to flourish; this sometimes means exposing it to harm so we may learn how to heal, restore and harden it to future infections."

He continues, "Ordinarily, our work in the sacred groves is done quietly, unknown to all but the highest among our faith. Be'ort, however, has tilted the balance, and now chaos spreads. The hidden rifts we use to move between the groves have been corrupted and exposed to all. They grow unstable, appearing and disappearing throughout the realms."

The Halfling leans closer still and whispers more quietly, "I don't know if The Hope has the tools for this level of corruption. Their duties are made more difficult with the never ending stream of corrupted beltunumshi sprining forth from the sacred tree."

The priest concludes, "There is much we could use help with to restore balance, and in the process perhaps we may also appease Be'ort enough to...ahem...shift his attentions elsewhere. If you're up to it, ASK me for a TASK, and I'll assign you work."

"So far you have made remarkable strides to our efforts," he adds, "and we offer our sincere gratitude."
