Crippled Foreman

These tiny things are your children?

Let me examine them. I might be able to help

Foreman's Brood Help the Crippled Foreman transfer its life force into its children

The Crippled Foreman wants to transfer its life force into tiny metallic children that it has built. So far, it's been unable to transfer sufficient power, so it asked for my help. If the power transfer succeeds, the children will live, but the Crippled Foreman will die

I'll need to bypass the safety measures that prevent the Crippled Foreman from transferring energy above a certain threshold. It suggested that I speak to its assistant, Tarnish, who might have some ideas.

Alternatively, there might be some other way to resolve this situation.

Before you will solve this quest:

Tarnish Talk with him about Crippled Foreman. Tarnish doesn't want the Foremen to give its life.

Talk with Sn'erf in Order of Truth 03 about Foremen and children. Buy Procreative Surge Turbine from him.

You can solve Foreman's Brood Quest in 3 ways:

A. Convinced the Foreman not to sacrifice its life. Talk with Tarnish first.

[Persuasion] Your assistant Tarnish doesn't want you to die. If you're gone, he'll have no one. Can't you find some other way to have children? +25 EXP

(suggested) B. Use the Procreative Surge Turbine Talk to Sn'erf first.

[Lore: Machinery] Use the Procreative Surge Turbine to transfer the Foreman's life to its children. +25 EXP

C. Attempt to bypass the Foreman's mind

[Lore: Machinery] [Lore: Natural] Attempt to bypass the Foreman's mind and pass its life to its children

If you succeed, you have a choice of three ways of dealing with children.

A. Keep them all. Maybe they can be used as cyphers and power sources Its very unfair, but will give you items:

The Foreman's Children Conserve next cypher used. Usable value 250 shins

Hyperkinetic Child Cypher +attackm +damage

The Empty Child Cypher, area damege

Stillborn Construct Oddity value 114 shins.

(suggested) B.Take the dead one, and let the others go free Its fair solution. It will give you:

Stillborn Construct Oddity value 114 shins.

C. Leave the dead one, and let the others go free Its fair solution.

Fulsome

I'm looking for someone

Circles in Red Track down the murderer

A murderer is loose in Underbelly, the poorest and foulest ward in Sagus Cliffs. If the culprit isn't caught soon, more people are likely to die...

Fulsome asked me to bring him any information I can find, but he didn't provide much in the way of leads...

I want to examine the murder scene behind you

The murderer may have left behind evidence. I won't know unless you let me look

Examine murder scene behind.

Inspect the hand in the pool of blood

Examine the blood circle on the wall +2 EXP

Circles in Red Talk with Imbitu about Fulsome

I'm helping Fulsome investigate some trouble in the Underbelly. Can I ask you some questions?

Tell me about the Children of the Endless Gate

I have evidence that the Dendra O'Hur are involved. Can I speak with your acolytes?

Do you think any of the other Dendra O'Hur could be capable of murder?

Now you know that Devourer of Wrongs in NOT a killer.

Where were you when Fulsome's protege was killed?

Imbitu tell you he was with Fulsome this time, you have to check it later talking with Fulsome

Devourer of Wrongs you can talk to him but he is innocent and does not add any new leads.

Gh'zei Talk to him, but he will not give you any new clues

Mallet Talk to him. He claims that he was getting drunk in a corner of the manufactory when Wheedle was killed

Go to Master Foreman Underbelly 09 and ask him about Dendra O'Hur.

Master Foreman saw Mallet around the time of murder. So Mallet is innocent

Mallet seen Kiyatawa eating a corpse in an alley.

Kiyatawa

Ashen Imitation She is one of the affected women for Ashen Imitation just look at her.

Circles in Red

Ask her about murder of Fulsome's protege. I ask more, check out the different variants of the conversation.

Mallet says he caught you eating a corpse on your own +2 EXP

Kiyatawa seemed like she was hiding something else about her visit to Circus Minor. I should speak to the merchants there and see if any of them saw what she was doing.

Go to Prata Circus Minor 16 and ask him about

Prata, a merchant in Circus Minor, told me that she saw Kiyatawa staggering around the area, muttering about "hollow red circles". This sounds very similar to the symbols the murderer has been leaving on walls in the Underbelly. Kiyatawa is guilty.

Circles in Red

Return to Fulsome check Imbitu's alibiand point the killer, Kiyatawa +40 EXP

Promise Fulsome to find Kiyatawa.

Peliai Talk to him.

Maybe I can help you negotiate

I think I can help you

Panoramic Capture Ball Cypher clears the fog of war in the current area.

Shaky Foundations Sneak into the sticha lair and steal their eggs

Peliai, a varjellen agent of the Slave Families, is trying to stop the sticha from digging underneath the city. Apparently, the creatures are destabilizing Sagus Cliffs and causing buildings to collapse. Her negotiations have gone nowhere, so she's turned to less honorable tactics

Peliai wants me to steal all the sticha eggs from their lair so that the city can use them as a bargaining chip. She'll also accept a negotiated settlement with the sticha - if I can somehow bring one about - but she doesn't believe that such a settlement is possible

There are two main ways to solve Shaky Foundations Quest.

A. (I DO NOT recommend this solution). Aggressive Solution. This include: Steal or destroy the eggs. The conflict and the fight against Ch'kekt, the conflict and the fight with Peliai

B. Peaceful solution (recommended). Talk to Ch'kekt Underbelly 04 and negotiate an agreement.

Go to 04 Talk to Ch'kekt

I have come to ask you to stop digging underneath the city

[Persuasion] Do you want your people to have a future? Do you want war with the humans above? They will collapse your tunnels. They will destroy you.

Return to Peliai

I have news about the sticha

I've handled the negotiation with the sticha already

I convinced Ch'kekt that digging deeper would be a benefit to both the sticha and the humans. There's no need to steal their eggs. +40 EXP, +150 shins and reward:

Ebon Eyes Artifact +1 Training level in Perception Skill

Mapper

I'm looking for a woman named Matkina. Do you know where I can find her?

The Cold, Calculating Jack Discover the location of the Changing God's sanctuary for Mapper

A mutant named Mapper claims to know where Matkina is hiding. He'll only reveal what he knows if I can find a hidden sanctuary that was established long ago by the Changing God. Apparently it's the one important site in Sagus Cliffs that Mapper hasn't yet located. All he knows is that it's underground - somewhere very close to the sticha lair.

I negotiated a settlement between the sticha and Sagus Cliffs. Ch'kekt might be willing to take me to the sticha lair now, if I ask.

When I asked about an alternative means to reach the sticha lair, Peliai suggested that I look for some sort of digging construct... or find someone skilled in manufacturing who can fabricate one

Changing God's sanctuary is in Buried Crossroads

I can ask Ch'kekt if he can take me to sticha lair, but much better is to create digging construct.

To create digging construct you have to find intact corpse of a stichus 19 and talk to Master Foreman 09.

To go further in The Cold, Calculating Jack Quest you have go to Buried Crossroads 05 and return to Mapper.

To reach Buried Crossroads use Stichus Automaton (description below).

After return from Buried Crossroads talk to Mapper.

Have you been to the sticha lair? I can tell you what's in there +3 EXP

I discovered the location of the Changing God's sanctuary

The Cold, Calculating Jack Quest Mapper revealed that Matkina is hiding out in a place called the Cave of Last Words. I can only get there by traveling underground.

To reach Cave of Last Words go to 20 and talk to Stichus Automaton.
