THE PANTRY

THE PANTRY, an errand in Ada's Trail

THE PANTRY is an errand CHEF ANATOLE hands out on THE BUNKER, and it wants 5 RATION TINs brought back.

The chef has counted the pantry down to the week and has told nobody the number. The security men carry ration tins on their belts; five of them makes the number five weeks better, which is five more weeks of a five-course service that nobody comes to.

THE PANTRY — on THE BUNKER.

What it pays

Handing it in pays experience, 170 coins and 1 rolled piece.

The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.55 of one — rather than as a figure, so the same errand is worth the same fraction of a level on the first map and the last. The table below is what that comes to for a hero at the level this venue is tuned for; take it later and it pays more.

The rolled piece goes through the ordinary drop pipeline at your own level, with 1 tier of skew on the rarity roll — the same skew the merchant's stall takes. A quest is a second CALLER of the loot system, never a second loot system, so what it hands over is the same kind of thing a monster drops.

The chain

Opens SERVICE AT EIGHT.

A chain never crosses a map or a run: the quest log belongs to the run you are in rather than to the hero, so every link of one is taken, done and handed in on a single visit, from the same person.

What is said

The errand in the giver's own words, covered until you ask for it.
