STOP THE LINE is an errand PRIYA NAIR hands out on GOODCO HQ, and it wants 8 kills of ASSEMBLER.
The welder-bots on the racks are the part of the night shift that changed — the people are only tired, and the welders look up as people walk past. Eight of them off the racks is what the intern has counted it takes for the line to go quiet, and quiet is the thing she asks for rather than help.
What it asks
| SHAPE | WHAT | HOW MANY |
|---|---|---|
| CULL | ASSEMBLER | 8 |
- ANY KILL COUNTSyours, a companion's, a powerup's — the errand is thinning them out, not proving it was you.
What it pays
Handing it in pays experience, 80 coins and 1 rolled piece.
The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.45 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.
| WHAT | HOW MUCH |
|---|---|
| COINS | 80 |
| ROLLED LOOT | 1 (+1 tier skew) |
| DIFFICULTY | HERO LEVEL | XP |
|---|---|---|
| EASY | 6 | 851 |
| MEDIUM | 6 | 851 |
| HARD | 8 | 886 |
| NIGHTMARE | 42 | 177458 |
The chain
Opens WALK HER OUT.
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.
