Conversations

Halloween Party

If you speak with Brandon Mellus without completing any of Zhia Lian's quests, the following exchange will occur.

“

Uh, hi. Sorry. I'm pretty busy right now ...but hey, have you heard of Zhia Lian, the goddess of Whimsy? She's a great god! Would you like to go to a party in her honor?

Tell me more about this party

It'll happen in just a few days at a real casino! There's food, drink, music, ...you know, a party. And Zhia Lian herself is supposed to show! A party with a god is always fun. Especially a god of whimsy! It'll be unpredictable!

Sure, I'm interested in the party.

Here! read this! *Brandon hands you a batch of crumpled hand-written pages.* That's my last extra copy. I had thousands of pamphlets printed in Statehelm -- at an incredible expense I might add -- but they're lost in the desert now. This whole trip has been brutal...

I have to read all this for a party?!

Yeah. Zhia Lian has certain requirements before she'll attend a party. Everybody has to know the rules. So I need to ask you to read this and then answer a couple of questions. I'm really sorry. But the party will be completely worth it!

Okay... I'll read it and talk to you afterwards.

“

Boom! Already read it. What are the questions?

You read it? Just like that?

Yep. I'm a fast reader.

Ohhhh, right. I'm supposed to read it first! Be back later.

Okay, so I need to ask you a couple of questions on what you've read, and I can only ask you one time. If you get any question wrong, I can't invite you to the party! Here's the first question.

What is the main rule of the Cult of Zhia Lian?

- The undead are not your friends.

- The undead are totally your friends.

- Only summon Zhia Lian when you're super bored.

- Never ever summon Zhia Lian.

- Summon Zhia Lian on the night of the full moon and bring pancakes.

- Something about donkeys, I don't remember.

- Fomenting Evil Accrues Rewards (FEAR).

- Be predictably unpredictable.

- King Brandon whenever you see him.

- Actually, never mind. I'll be back later.

Never ever summon Zhia Lian.

Successfully answering the question will grant you an invitation to the party.
