THE NIGHT LOG

THE NIGHT LOG, an errand in Ada's Trail

THE NIGHT LOG is an errand PRIYA NAIR hands out on GOODCO HQ, and it wants 4 NIGHT SHEETs brought back.

The night line has been running since six and nobody has filed a sheet: every worker on the floor is carrying their own, and none of them are in a state to hand one over. Four, off whoever still has one in a pocket, is a shift on paper. It is bookkeeping performed on a floor that stopped being a workplace hours ago, which is the only reason it still looks like one.

  • ONLY WHILE IT IS LIVEthe pieces exist for the errand and nothing else — they drop once it has been accepted and the tally is still short, and they are handed over at the turn-in.

What it pays

Handing it in pays experience, 60 coins and 1 rolled piece.

The experience is authored as a SHARE of your own level bar — 0.35 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. 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 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.

The ask

PRIYA NAIR

THE LINE'S BEEN RUNNING SINCE SIX AND I CAN'T LOG A THING — EVERYONE'S CARRYING THEIR OWN SHEET AND NOBODY'S FILING.

PRIYA NAIR

GET ME FOUR OF THEM. OFF ANYONE. I'M NOT FUSSY ANYMORE.

Coming back short

PRIYA NAIR

STILL SHORT. CHECK THEIR POCKETS, THEY ALL HAVE ONE.

The handover

PRIYA NAIR

FOUR. THAT'S A SHIFT. THAT'S A REAL SHIFT ON PAPER.

PRIYA NAIR

TAKE SOMETHING. THE SUPPLY CAGE ISN'T LOCKED EITHER.
