A Mother's Plea

Gilded Vale

  1. The quest begins in Aufra's house, which is at #11 in Gilded Vale. She'll initially be curious about the fate of her sister, Calisca. Honest or Stoic replies are available at that point. At some it becomes apparent she's worried that the child she's pregnant with may become Hollowborn upon delivery. You can then select Benevolent or Cruel responses. The quest becomes one of obtaining a potion from somebody named Ranga that Aufra hopes will prevent the Hollowborn condition.

    2. Anslog's Compass

  2. Ranga and her assistant, Tana, can be found at #4 in Anslog's Compass. She'll at the outset provide you with a Potion of Minor Endurance, Potion of Minor Recovery, and a Potion of Minor Regeneration. But you'll have to jump through a couple of hoops for her first before she'll provide you with a potion for Aufra.

  3. Xaurip TribeThe first hoop is to wipe out a Xaurip tribe at #7 in Anslog's Compass. The Tribe is numerous, and includes a couple of Champions and a Priest. A sound strategy is to hit the Priest with missile weapons and spells, and also apply any party-friendly debuffs against the front-line Xuarip. Summons won't hurt either.

  4. That's only one hoop. She'll now want to collect a Dank Spore so that she can complete the potion. That means you'll have to kill a couple of Dank Spores and some Sporelings in the Sea Cave, the entrance to which is at #14 in Anslog's Compass. The Dank Spores score significant blunt damage with their physical attacks, and can afflict party members with Confusion, so the fight may take some time and care, but you should still outlast them.

  5. Once she has a Dank Spore, she'll complete the potion and provide you with a Stoppered Vial.

  6. There are multiple ways to resolve the quest once you bring the Stoppered Vial to Aufra:
    • You can immediately leave after giving her the Vial without saying anything more, the Stoic reply, which will result in a major gain of reputation in Gilded Vale.

    • If you don't warn Aufra about the potion and say, "Glad to be of assistance", you'll get a moderate increase of reputation in Gilded Vale, and a +1 to Deceptive disposition.

    • If you warn Aufra about the potion, but then change your mind and tell her it will make her tired, you'll gain a major increase of reputation in Gilded Vale, and a +1 to Deceptive disposition.

    • If you warn Aufra about the potion, and insist on your payment, you'll gain a minor increase of reputation in Gilded Vale and a +1 to Honest disposition.

    • If you warn Aufra about the potion, and choose any other follow-up besides insisting on your payment, you'll gain a moderate increase to reputation in Gilded Vale, and a +1 to Honest disposition.

    You get rewarded with the xp bonus and 10cp, now matter what path you choose. Conclusions that increase Honest disposition will also get you a Minor Cloak of Protection, while the others won't.
