Preview

The Gylia Watch needs help in finding out how Gerts commandeering attacks without them noticing. The player heads on to find out what is going on behind the scenes. However, the player learns that the Gylia Watch don't just do what they seem to...

Stage 1

» Talk to Cikal at [-27, 73, -5413].

Cikal.png

  • Cikal: Oh, ho ho. What is this? A Human? What brings you to Gylia Watch - want to let your hair down a bit, I bet!
  • Cikal: Of course you know who we are! The Gylia Watch was founded over 200 years ago in wake of the Villager victory in the war.
  • Cikal: The Gerten war! Only the most famous war in all of modern Gavel! The might of the Villagers crushed those blasted Gerts - not that they were particularly hard to beat, heh.
  • Cikal: Gerts are stupid brutes, you see. The only thing they ever think about is food.
  • Cikal: Get too close to one and it'll chomp your fingers off, quick as you like. And then the rest of you as well!
  • Cikal: The peace treaty keeps them inside their borders, and we get a delivery of supplies every month from Cinfras to send over to them.
  • Cikal: Of course, we have to keep some of the supplies for ourselves - you've seen how hard these men are working, they deserve a bit of a party!
  • Cikal: The Watch keeps a lookout over the Gerten borders day and night... well, maybe not on poker nights!
  • Cikal: Although... we have heard a couple of nasty rumors floating about - farmers disappearing from their houses and the such.
  • Cikal: If I really can't tempt you with a glass of wine and a round of poker, maybe you could go and check them out for us?
  • Cikal: I'd send the men, but... well, I'd feel bad if one of them went and missed all the partying!
  • Cikal: Here, you should head over and talk to Jitak, they're one of the farmers that lodged a complaint. Their house is west of here, I'll write down the co-ordinates.

Stage 2

» Talk to Jitak at [-174, 32, -5469].

Jitak.png

  • Jitak: If you are looking for a suit or something, I can't help you. Now is a very bad time.
  • Jitak: Oh, you're here on behalf of the Watch? Ha, even sending Humans to do their work is not beneath them.
  • Jitak: All they do is sit up in that tower playing drinking games and act like they own this region!
  • Jitak: I reported the fact there is clearly a Gert camp right in front of my house and they just ignored me! Now look, my pigs are all gone!
  • Jitak: I knew it was a mistake getting this property so close to gerten borders. See, gerts aren't the 'brutes' people insist, but...
  • Jitak: Well, they'll eat anything! Animals, fish, monsters, villagers, even humans! Biologically, they're just constantly hungry.
  • Jitak: The watch is meant to keep them behind their borders...
  • Jitak: I even bought a golem to watch over them - Got it for a good price because of some incident down at the Olux factory.
  • Jitak: But somehow the gerts are managing to avoid it! Look, if you're here from the watch, could you help me out?
  • Jitak: Go to the gert camp west of here and find out how they are doing all of this!

  • Looks like the Gerten chiefs are having a meeting, you shouldn't get too close... maybe there's somewhere nearby you can eavesdrop from?

Follow the path to the left and get on top of the tent where you can see the Gerts.

GertenChiefSnaga.png

  • Gerten Chief Snaga: -Good job to all of you! I am proud to say we made the cave road very well.
  • Gerten Chief Snaga: The town folk at Gylia steal the stuff meant for us for their party, and leave us high and dry!
  • Gerten Chief Snaga: But those dumb over fed town folk did not catch us when we dug our cave road right under their watch house.
  • Gerten Chief Snaga: With our new way to get to Gylia land we have more stuff than ever!
  • Well, that explains how the Gerts were able to get to the pigs. You should head back to Jitak.

Stage 6

» Exit the gerten cave.

Stage 7

» Return to Jitak at [-174, 32, -5469].

Jitak.png

  • Jitak: Human! You're back... and haven't been eaten by a Gert!
  • Jitak: What did you discover in the camp?
  • Jitak: A tunnel?! Past Gerten borders? That must be how they're managing to get in and steal my livestock.
  • Jitak: Look, human. The Watch aren't gonna do anything about this. Please... maybe you can help me.
  • Jitak: If you can disguise yourself as a Gert maybe you could sneak into their main camp and check out this tunnel?
  • Jitak: Okay! As you can see, all Gerts wear a carved pumpkin on their head - something to do with their culture.
  • Jitak: There's a pumpkin farm near here at [-248, 37, -5425]... maybe you could get one from there?

Stage 8

» Go to the gerten pumpkin farm at [-248, 37, -5425].

Intro Dialogue

  • Gert Guard: ... hello.
    • [1] Hello
      • Gert Guard: Oh good, were you sent here to be my lunch?
      • The gert is looking at you hungrily... it might be best to leave the conversation?
      • Gert Guard: Are you here to be my lunch?
    • [2] Are you hungry?

Telling that You're a Human

  • Gert Guard: A who.. man? Oh, you mean new folk! All the way here in gerten lands? I have not seen one of you here.
  • Gert Guard: I do want to know how you taste...
  • The gert has a strange look in his eyes and is inching towards you suspiciously...
    • [1] What're you doing here?
      • Gert Guard: Doing? I am here to guard the orange gourd farm, of course!
      • Gert Guard: This farm right here is where all the gerts get their day mask from!
        • [1] Why do gerts wear pumpkins?
        • [2] Can I take a pumpkin?
          • Gert Guard: No, new folk. Gerts only in this farm.
          • Gert Guard: That is why I am put here. To make sure no one gets in.
          • Gert Guard: But but I get so bored... and I really want to eat...
            • [1] Why do gerts wear pumpkins?
            • [2] I'll pay you to let me take a pumpkin.
              • Gert Guard: Like, with the clear green rocks?
              • Gert Guard: No new folk, gerts do not have any need for green rocks. But...
              • Gert Guard: How about this - I will just eat you!
                • [1] Sure!
                • [2] What? No way.
                  • Gert Guard: Oh...
                  • Gert Guard: Well, I think I will still eat you. Just how it is!
                  • Getting Eaten
            • [3] Goodbye
    • [2] Goodbye

Asking Why Gerts Wear Pumpkins

  • Gert Guard: Oh, it is a thing gerts have been doing for as long as we know.
  • Gert Guard: At wake time each day a gert takes an orange gourd and eats into it a shape that shows their mood!
  • Gert Guard: It is really nice, is it not?
  • The gert is very close to you now and you can see saliva dripping from its teeth...
    • [1] So why do all the Gerts have the same expression on their pumpkin?
      • Gert Guard: We all want to eat all the time!
      • Gert Guard: On that note...
      • Getting Eaten
    • [2] Goodbye

Getting Eaten

You will be locked in place while the screen slowly zooms in on the gert's masked face. The screen will then turn black with red particles and a chomping sound effect will play, symbolizing that you have been eaten by the gert and ending the conversation.

You will respawn right before the Gert Guard, where you can restart the conversation.

Exit Dialogue

  • Gert Guard: Oh... goodbye. Come back soon? With some food?
  • That was... enlightening, but it didn't get you into the farm. You should look around for a way to distract the gert... maybe get some food?[1]

Stage 9

» Find a way to distract the Gert Guard with some food nearby.

There will be an apple tree to the left of the Gert Guard.

  • Maybe you can cast a spell to shake an apple down?

Cast a few spells to shake an apple down from the tree, and then right-click it to get a Large Apple. Place the apple in the ring of green particles in front of the Gert Guard.

GertGuard.png

  • Gert Guard: Oh man, a red tree fruit! I should not leave my post... but I want to eat...
  • Gert Guard: ...
  • Gert Guard: It is only a few steps that way...

The Gert Guard will look around for a few seconds and then walks towards the apple to eat it.

  • Gert Guard: That tastes so good! What a good red tree fruit.
  • Gert Guard: ... If I wait here, more might fall from the sky!

The Gert Guard will then look up, waiting for apples, which will allow you to slip into the pumpkin farm.

Stage 10

» Enter the pumpkin farm at [-248, 37, -5425].

  • Looks like the guard is pretty distracted waiting for apples to fall out of the sky... you should be able to sneak into the farm now.

Stage 11

» Find a pumpkin to use as a gert mask.

There will be a particularly large pumpkin that is located straight ahead of you.

  • This pumpkin looks perfect to carve a face into...

You will then be brought to a black room with six different expressions in front of you and an 8-by-8 orange grid that will be used to carve the face into using the Carving Knife by right-clicking a block to be carved.

  • Carve a facial expression into the pumpkin! Be careful, as the wrong one might expose you as a human!
  • [+1 Carving Knife]
Spoiler! The hidden text contains spoilers relating to templates for masks and the solution.
GertMasksTemplate.png
Above is a template used to carve a face into. The top of each grid is the edge closest to the templates are in-game as a reference. Black squares are carved-out squares. The correct mask to make is the Hungry Mask.
  • You carved the {Expression} face!
  • [+1 {Expression} Gert Mask]
  • You should put the mask on before you leave.

Put the mask on your head. You will then be given a prompt to leave by clicking the message. The Gert Guard will then walk up to you.

Wrong Mask: GertGuard.png

  • Gert Guard: Hey! What're you doing in the pumpkin farm at this hour?
  • Gert Guard: Wait a minute... why does your pumpkin look like that?!
  • Gert Guard: Why isn't your pumpkin like all the others?
    • [1] I'm... not hungry?
  • Gert Guard: ...
  • Gert Guard: You're not a gert at all! You're a human! Gerts are never not hungry!
  • Gert Guard: Sorry, human, but this is private gerten land. And, well... a gert's gotta eat!
  • [-1 {Expression} Gert Mask]
  • ... That didn't go too well. You should carve another mask.

Right Mask: GertGuard.png

  • Gert Guard: Hey! Why are you at the orange gourd farm so late?
  • Gert Guard: Look, we need some gerts for a trip to hunt in the new cave road.
  • Gert Guard: You know, the one in the camp just north of the Gylia Watch?
  • Gert Guard: Come over here to help us!
  • You should report back to Jitak with your new mask and information about the tunnel.

Stage 12

» Return to Jitak with the gert mask at [-174, 32, -5469].

Jitak.png

  • Jitak: Ah, a Gert!
  • Jitak: Oh wait...human, it's you! Wow, you look exactly like a Gert. You're definitely going to blend in at the main camp.
  • Jitak: Okay, head over to the main camp at [-4, 33, -5516] and see if you can find the tunnel!

Stage 13

» Enter the secret gert tunnel at [-4, 33, -5516].

STEALTH!
Eat regularly to avoid being exposed
  • Kill Animals every 10 seconds or the gerts will become suspicious!

To eat an animal, kill it. You will need to do a parkour to make it to the end of the tunnel. The meat piles will make you bounce off of them if you land on them. Once you get to the end, there will be two Gerts spying on the Gylia Watch.

At the end: File:Gert(NPC).pngFile:GyliaCaptain.pngFile:GyliaWatchman.png

  • Gert: Quiet! We need to try to hear what the bad town folk at the watch house talk about!
  • Gert: Watch!
  • Gylia Captain: -silly gerts don't even know we're taking their supplies!
  • Gylia Watchman: Besides, we need those supplies more than they do... especially the alcohol, eh boys?!
  • Gylia Watchman: I don't even know why Cinfras keeps on sending all this stuff for the Gerts - can't we just starve 'em out? Screw the lot of 'em, I say!
  • Gylia Captain: Damned right, boys! Now look, another shipment just came in - let's skim a little more of the top this time, eh?
  • Gylia Captain: Our kegs have been running a bit low again.
  • Gert: Agh! That stuff is meant to be ours... the peace deal said we have to get some stuff each month!
  • Gert: Those bad town folk... -you! go tell the chief!
  • Gert: tell the chief what we heard! It might be time to fight back at the watch house!

Stage 14

» Leave the tunnel and inform someone about the information you overheard.

  • What would you like to do?
    • [1] Inform the Gerten Chief about the Gylia Watch stealing their supplies.
      Choosing this option puts you in the Gerten Camp.
      • Gert Battle Chief: What? The town folk talk out loud that they take our stuff!
      • Gert Battle Chief: That is it! We will go to war with them!
      • Gert Battle Chief: Thank you, small gert, that you told me this! We will crush the lazy town folk and eat what is left of them!
    • [2] Confront Cikal about Watch's actions.
      Choosing this option puts you where the quest started.
      • Cikal: Hey there! How's the - burp - investigation going, heh?
      • Cikal: Eh? Oh, you're back.
      • Cikal: What's that?! You're accusing the Watch of stealing supplies from the Gerts? Well I don't even know what to say, I've never even HEARD of such-
      • Cikal: Actually, you know what? I was going to make up a lie, but why bother? We have been stealing those supplies!
      • Cikal: It's not like the Gerts deserve them - all they do is sit in their little camps talk about how tasty the Watch members must be.
      • Cikal: So if they think they can attack us, the might Gylia Watch, let them try! And you, human, would do well to stay out of the way!
