Details

Need: 10 Key Objectives

Find Colin Lotus at Static Lathrofea after the task is completed.

Public Quests are infinitely repeatable. Those in Coast of Opportunity and Xaviera reward XP, TP, Gold, and an  Old Bag (hence the common sobriquet, Bag Quests). In Redhill Mountains, each repetition of [67][Public] Freedom Fighters rewards an  Ancient Memento. In all other zones they do not reward XP, TP or Gold, only  Public Event Points. In all other aspects they are the same as a Daily Quest (except for the infinitely repeatable part and the rewards).  Public Event Points contribute towards the completion of Regional Quest objectives, which in turn rewards a number of  Energy of Justice commensurate with your amount of participation in the Regional event.

Each time you receive this quest the tasks, and the temporary skills you are granted, will change. The first time through, the tasks will be in the order presented. Afterwards, the sequence becomes random.

Completing the quest 6 times in a row will earn an increased experience reward.

Each phase can be identified by a named Effect that appears in your Effect Box.

Pointless Effect: A Boat in the Ocean will be on you at all times while you have this quest. It does nothing and means nothing.

States: Adventurers and Villagers in the town will have various effects on them. These effects, or states, control how and when they react.

• Possession: Shows the influence of the villagers on an Adventurer. If it reaches 30 they become Possessed and will run to Robest to die. Reduce this to 0 and the Adventurer will awake and leave town.
• Personnel Consideration: ???
• Colin's Confidant: This Adventurer knows what is going on and cannot be influenced. He is loyal to Colin Lotus but does not know you and will not help.
•  Insane Will: After the Yadunisi detects someone near it, it goes crazy and will reveal all adventurers that are being influenced by the villagers...
• Pondering Substitute: The Villagers have backed themselves into a corner and it's becoming increasingly obvious that they're losing control. The higher the value the better chance they will break and run.
• Grow Suspicious: The Adventurer suspects you may be lying to him.
• Don't Trust: The Adventurer is certain you are lying and will listen to nothing else you say for a time.

Deliberate Troublemaking

	Colin Lotus says, "When the road ahead is blocked, one must find another way."
	You must look... - If the Villagers are not in a Pondering Substitute state, then you will achieve a Going Too Far state and skill. Loud Howl - Increase the Pondering Substitute state of nearby Villagers by 1. If this causes some Villagers to leave you earn you 2 Key Objectives for each one that does. Going Too Far - "Apply" the materials you found. If an Adventurer in the Area of Effect is in a Possessed state greater than 15 it is reduced by 3 and will not increase for 15 seconds.

Inappropriate Discipline

	Colin Lotus says, "I yelled at them because I want to save their lives. Otherwise why would I be so tired?"
	Assignment Tasks - Gives the target adventurer many difficult tasks. There is a chance he will leave and if he does you gain 1 Key Objective. Berserk Excuse - Go berserk on the adventurers within range. If you make them unhappy, other adventurers and villagers nearby will leave and you gain 1 Key Objective, plus 1 Key Objective for each villager that leaves. Deliberate Bullying - This will not work of a leader-level adventurer is nearby. Your targeted Adventurer cannot be put into a Possessed state. If his Possessed state was 15 or higher it is reduced by 3. the Personnel Consideration state of surrounding villagers is increased by 1.

Well-Intentioned Lie

	Colin Lotus says, "If they know the truth, they will certainly understand you...But there is no way that you should let them know about it."
	Tell a Lie - Tells a lie to the targeted Adventurer to encourage him to leave. He will either enter a Grow Suspicious state or he will believe you and leave. If he leaves you gain 1 Key Objective. A Lie to Embellish a Lie - Use only on an Adventurer in a Grow Suspicious state. He will either enter a Don't Trust state or he will believe you and leave. If he leaves you gain 1 Key Objective. Pretend I Was Never Here - Has a chance to reduce the amount of time Adventurers in the area remain in a Grow Suspicious or Don't Trust state.

Like Chopping Wood

	Colin Lotus says, "When woodcutting, it is best to choose trees that will grow back... You understand what I mean."
	Vanish in a Flash - Kills all Villagers in range but you must not let yourself be seen by any Adventurers! You must have a Villager targeted to use this skill. Blowing Dust - Blinds nearby Adventurers so they will not be influenced by what you are about to do to the Villagers. No target is required. To No Avail - For every Villager that is killed you gain 1 Key Objective.

Living Experiment

	It's difficult to keep the happenings in the village secret from the [SC_ALLIC_COMMUNITY
	Covert Operations - Sets a Transportation Mark on a Villager for 25 seconds Confidentiality Agreement - Transports all Adventurers in range to a safe location Catch All in One Net - All Villagers with Transportation Marks will be teleported. There can be no Adventurers present for this to work, but the Villagers will run off if there are no Adventurers present. You gain 1 Key Objective for each Villager removed.
Target and Mark each Villager, then target an Adventurer and teleport them all to safety, then target a Marked Villager and send them to hell. You must be quick to get them all in the right order.

Specialized Area

	If the Lathrofea villagers are just using words to influence the adventurers then the Eye of Wisdom can't help. But if they are using magic...
	Basic Invisibility - Makes you invisible for 12 seconds Interference Circle - Reduces the state of nearby affected Adventurers by 1 and prevents Possession from going up while it is active. You must be invisible to use this skill. Magic Charge - Reduced Possession state of targeted Adventurer by 2. You must be invisible to use this skill. Elf Protection - For every Villager that leaves after failing to entice an Adventurer, if you are nearby and invisible you gain 2 Key Objectives.
Target an Adventurer, cast Basic Invisibility, then Magic Charge and Interference Circle. Rinse and repeat over and over as fast and smooth as you can. You do not need to remove his Possession just keep it from getting higher and eventually the Villager will give up and you get your update!

Find out the Master Plan

	Colin Lotus says, "Finishing a hundred foot soldiers doesn't compare to fighting off a head general."
	Skilled Probe - Use on Villagers. All Adventurers influenced by the atrget's Possession and have at least 2 Possession states will reduce their Possession by 1. Gamble Hint - Investigate a Villager's identity. If the target is not Yadunisi other Adventurers become Innocent. If the target is a normal Villager the nearby Adventurers will reach Possession level 30 immediately. Principles of Seizing People - Observe how fast Adventurers become Possessed to find out Yadunisi. Capture the Chief to Stop the Thieves - If you successfully use the Gamble Hint to cause Yadunisi to leave you earn 10 Key Objectives. If you cause one of Yadunisi's Helpers to leave you gain 5 Key Objectives instead.

The Last Resort

	Colin Lotus says, "I think you have endured long enough..."
	Staggering Blow - Will stun 1 possessed Adventurer Never Give Up - This "might" remove 1 nearby possessed Adventurer and "might" earn you 2 Key Objectives Priority Rescue - If you successfully remove 1 possessed Adventurer you gain 8 Key Objectives
This is the only task that involves Adventurers outside of Static Lathrofea. Go out of town to the crossroads, face the town, and wait for a possessed Adventurer to come to you.
