Creatures Big and Small
Jack: Feather, the whole plan went down the drain. I want to curse and yell, and I'll do that, but later. Now we need to find Jim.
Task: Go through the unknown room.
Jack: Jim, let's get straight to the point. Yes, I know that you are not a vet, that we don't have magic pills and etc, etc...
Jack carefully places the box with rats on the table in the middle of the room and opens it.
Jack: Just speak to the point, Jim. Any idea what's wrong with them?
Jim, rightfully concluding that Jack being this forward is just him being defensive, decides not to argue with him. The doctor puts his gloves on, takes one of the rats and carefully examines it.
Jim: Jack, I don't know how you missed that, but the disease has been spreading for a while now. I need to observe the rats. But if I were to make a diagnosis based on what I'm seeing, it's mycotoxicosis. I can't really say more than that. Maybe ergotism. At any rate, the cause is the mold fungi. And if I were you, Jack, I'd be careful about my own well-being. After all, you spend most of your time in the basement in constant dampness, which is not a good thing.
You completed Jack’s task. You received a healthy meal, an apple, some points of freedom and some tokens
Is there an epidemic? Should the inhabitants be concerned about external threat? Will the Firewood brothers find a cure? To find out how the confrontation between Jack and the Puppeteer ends, complete the premium quest chain, "Final Round".
Jack: Feather, do you believe it's really all that simple? Basement, dampness and mold? But I'm not sick. The Puppeteer was really lucky that the rats got sick just when I was about to get even with him. What a miracle. Such consequences are impossible. We'll get the Puppeteer dead to rights. We'll bring him to light even if we have to beat the confession out of him! Deal, Feather?
