Quinfort is enamored with his new companion.

— In-game description

Steps

  • Receive the snake-filled sack from Quinfort.
  • Carry the snake-filled sack to Valan at Slitherbough.
  • Check on the suspicious serpent.

Journal

  • Quinfort is enamored with his new companion.
  • Valan is not sure what to make of the creature Quinfort has found, but decides to indulge his friend nonetheless. Their first task is to carry the beast to Slitherbough and away from possible danger and prying eyes. Valan finds the serpent-like creature repulsive, and Quinfort believes himself unworthy of holding it, which leaves you as the only one who can see the deed done.
  • With the burlap sack firmly─but not too firmly, lest you upset Quinfort─in hand, you wend your way through the woods to Slitherbough.
  • After a frightful journey, tiptoeing past treants and overgrown beetles, you arrive safely at Slitherbough with the burlap sack. You find Valan in the corner of a cave where the shadows will hopefully offer a modicum of privacy. He suggests taking the snake-like creature out of the sack to ensure it is still in one piece.
  • Quinfort arrives not long after you, enthralled by what he believes to be a divine beast of the Greatwood. Valan continues to make light of the situation, but Quinfort assures him that he will save Slitherbough with the aid of the great serpent.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Optional dialogue
<sigh> He seems to be serious about this.
O great serpent, I beseech you—grant me the strength to defend the Night's Blessed, to stay the impending calamity that threatens the Greatwood.
<sigh> I can't believe this is happening. Look, if you want to keep that thing as a pet, I won't stop you, but we really should return home.
No, you're right. To remain here any longer could place the great serpent in danger.
But the question is, how do we transport it? I will not stand to see the great serpent debase itself, crawling on its belly like a...like a...
A snake? Just pick up the damn thing and let's go.
By the abyss, Valan, show some respect! I should be the one to carry it, but I fear I am yet unworthy of such a burden.
But you—you could protect the great serpent from the threats of the Greatwood, be they beasts or sin eaters.
And now you mean to drag Master Matoya's guest into your schemes? What will the others think when he/she walks into Slitherbough hoisting that thing about?
Here, put it in this sack.
I will do no such thing!
It's clean, dry, and most importantly, you can bring it into Slitherbough unnoticed.
Fine... Listen, Forename. The fate of the Greatwood quite literally rests in your hands. It goes without saying we can't afford any mishaps.
<sigh> I suppose we've no choice but to help him. I'll go ahead and find a place to keep his pet away from prying eyes.

Receive the snake-filled sack from Quinfort

Optional dialogue
Tread carefully, Forename. I will follow shortly after.

Carry the snake-filled sack to Valan at Slitherbough

Optional dialogue
How could you forget to take the great serpent with you? This task is not to be taken lightly.
Quinfort is still at the lake? I fear leaving him alone with that thing wasn't such a good idea.
Here should be safe, for now at least.
Let's have another look at the great serpent, shall we?

Check on the suspicious serpent

Optional dialogue
If Mother finds out about this, no shadow will be dark enough to hide from her wrath.
Start of cutscene.
Good work, you two. Oh, can you believe it? The divine protector of the Greatwood here in Slitherbough.
"Within a sack of burlap did the champion carry the divine beast, and beneath the slithering boughs of the Greatwood did they find shelter."
Chapter thirty-one, verse five in the Gospel of Quinfort.
<sigh> Pay him no mind... He's merely referring to his dream diary.
For the last time, it is not a diary. Have you forgotten how the gospel foretold the events of that fateful day two years ago?
How can I when you remind me of it every day?
You continue to doubt me but soon you'll see. Together, the great serpent and I will save this village, and all of the Greatwood, from oblivion!
What have we gotten ourselves into?
End of cutscene.
