THE LAST ORDER
- ERRAND
- HUNT
- UNIT 7-ECHO
- GOODCO HQ
- CHAIN LINK
THE LAST ORDER is an errand UNIT 7-ECHO hands out on GOODCO HQ, and it wants THE NIGHT MANAGER put down.
It is not offered cold: COUNTERSIGNATURE has to be handed in first, on this same map and to this same person.
The order above the floor-safety one supersedes it, and the unit has requested its withdrawal for eleven years without being answered once. The man who signed it is still on the floor, still signing. Withdrawing it is not paperwork, and the unit is precise about what it is asking for.
What it asks
| SHAPE | WHAT | HOW MANY |
|---|---|---|
| HUNT | THE NIGHT MANAGER | — |
- ONE BODYTHE NIGHT MANAGER is a set piece rather than a breed, so the tracker reads a name instead of a tally — there is exactly one of them to find.
What it pays
Handing it in pays experience, 150 coins and 1 rolled piece.
The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.7 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 2 tiers 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.
| WHAT | HOW MUCH |
|---|---|
| COINS | 150 |
| ROLLED LOOT | 1 (+2 tier skew) |
| DIFFICULTY | HERO LEVEL | XP |
|---|---|---|
| EASY | 6 | 1324 |
| MEDIUM | 6 | 1324 |
| HARD | 8 | 1378 |
| NIGHTMARE | 42 | 276046 |
The chain
Comes after COUNTERSIGNATURE.
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.
