Play-initiated Quest: Deal with the Spirits in the cellar.

• (3) bound souls are noticed in the haze of the torchlight.
• The first is a womanly sad essence of loss and longing for love. The second is the wounded soul of a great warrior forced to fight a battle against his desire. The third is a rage-filled spirit of anger and failure. See Love is a Battle-Field
• Fulb Petcher makes a deal with the rage-filled spirit and is now bound to this being. He does this to save the life of Nimbus.
• Nimbus suffers a lethal wound, a shoulder-to-shoulder gash, from the spirits. He is saved from death's door through the deal made by Fulb. This lethal wound is the same wound suffered by the soldier during his final battle. The soul of the soldier stretches itself to a thin silk thread and stitches closed the lethal wound Nimbus has suffered. The wound is not fully closed and leaks blood and soul essence. A goblet is used to collect Nimbus's blood mixed with the essence of the lovers as the wound seals closed their souls now bound.
• Souls bound, a deal struck, the basement is now safe.
• Cravos Blackburn & Ivanna the Barmaid express their gratitude and the restful reward.
