>[!quote]+ Introduction *Oh, a pleasure to see you, a pleasure indeed. I am [[Gowry]]. A great [[sage]], in my day, anyway. I'd hoped to ask a favour, when one of your ilk came along. A strapping young [[Tarnished]], able to cross the scarlet [[swamp of Aeonia]]. Don't fret, I'll provide fine recompense. Should you accept… I will teach you the secret of [[Sellia]], the town you see there.* >[!quote]+ *Refuse* *Ah, my apologies. I rather got ahead of myself, didn't I. Well, no matter. I'm accustomed to waiting. But if you should decide to hear my offer, whenever that may be, do come and speak with me again. I'll wait as long as it takes.* > *Ah, changed your mind, have you? If you are willing to undertake my request, I'll gladly share with you the secret of [[Sellia]], the town yonder.* >[!quote]+ *Hear the request* *Ah, then you're willing to lend a hand, are you? I need your help to heal a certain young girl. Her name is [[Millicent]]. You will find her beyond [[Sellia]], resting at [[Church of the Plague|the church]] atop the cliff, stricken by the [[scarlet rot|rotting sickness]].* > *The rotting sickness that afflicts [[Millicent]] has no cure. When the [[Erdtree]] [[The Age of Plenty|flourished]], even the [[demigods]] could not stave off its effects, despite their nigh godhood. But Millicent's suffering can be ameliorated. For this, you are to find a [[Unalloyed Gold Needle|certain needle]]. Seek the deep scarlet [[swamp of Aeonia]], outside [[Sellia|Sellia's]] bounds. The needle, made from [[unalloyed gold]], is lost somewhere there.* >[!quote]+ Followup *First, you must find the [[unalloyed gold needle]]. It's hidden somewhere in the deep scarlet [[swamp of Aeonia]]. Then I will tell you, as promised. The secret of the town of [[Sellia]].* >[!location] [[Gowry's Shack]] >[!questline] [[Gowry]] >Preceded by: N/A >Followed by: [[Dialogue - Gowry - 2 of 4 - The Needle]] #source #dialogue #gowry #millicent #caelid
