RUTH
- QUEST GIVER
- THE GARAGE
- 3 ERRANDS
RUTH stands on THE GARAGE and hands out 3 errands: THE RECEIPT, THE DENT and THE SCALE.
Nothing can hurt them, and nothing gets to try — the horde is pushed back out of a 44 px ward around them, exactly as it is around the merchant. An errand you have to clear a pack off to accept is a pack, not an errand.
Walk within 70 px and they open the conversation themselves, once. A person with more than one thing to say opens on the whole list rather than handing them out one at a time.
Ada's mother, who has a key to the garage and always has. Once the voyages start she is simply there between them, standing by the engine parts, because waiting at home means staring at the phone. She was never once scared for her daughter — she raised her — and what she asks for is the one thing a search party cannot bring back: something of Ada's.
What they want
| ERRAND | ASKS | PAYS |
|---|---|---|
| THE RECEIPT | 1 THE RECEIPT brought back | 0.5 of a level, 120 coins, 1 rolled piece |

What they say
Their own lines, covered until you ask for them.
On being spoken to
RUTHSHE TOLD ME ABOUT THE JACKET. THE ZIPPER. SHE LAUGHED FOR A WEEK.
WHEN YOU'RE OUT THERE - BRING ME SOMETHING OF HERS.
Once everything is done
RUTHSHE'S FIGHTING HER WAY BACK, ISN'T SHE. I KNEW IT. GO ON.
