The Council of Loathing/Grey Goo

When playing the special challenge path of Grey Goo, the text from the Council of Loathing discussed the current state of the kingdom:

• Initial text:

Welcome, Adventurer. Your first order of business should be to visit the Toot Oriole. He lives atop Mt. Noob, in the Big Mountains. Um, don't cut through the Nearby Plains to get there, that place is a real mess right now. Some kind of gross meteor smashed into the Naughty Sorceress's tower and covered the entire Plains with grey sludge. Super gross, zero stars would not recommend. What are we doing about it? Well, right now we're trying out a sort of "wait and see if it goes away on its own" plan.

• After visiting the Toot Oriole, but before reading King Ralph's Note:

Welcome, Adventurer! It looks like you've got some business to take care of before we put you to work. Some mail to read, perhaps? In these messed-up times, you should cherish that sort of thing.

• After reading King Ralph's note:

We don't have anything you can help us with right now, Adventurer. You should go explore a little, get your bearings, and come back when you're a little stronger.

You could check out the Outskirts of Cobb's Knob, in the Nearby Plains. Oh wait -- no. No, don't do that. I'm pretty sure that isn't even there anymore. I wonder what happened to the goblins? They were already kind of gross, so probably they adapted pretty well.

Maybe try the Haunted Pantry instead -- you can find it inside Spookyraven Manor over on the Right Side of the Tracks.

Another option is The Sleazy Back Alley, on the Wrong Side of the Tracks. But you didn't hear it from us.

• When no quests are available:

Unfortunately, there are no more tasks required of you by the Council at this time. Usually, we'd've had more stuff for you to do, but y'know, that whole grey goo thing. Say, do you have a mop and a bucket? Maybe you could-- no? You sure? Well, all right.

Quests

Level 2 - Spooky Forest Quest

• Initial text:

We require your aid, Adventurer. We need a mosquito larva -- we're going to try and breed a mosquito that drinks grey goo instead of blood. I don't know much about insects or genetics in general, but it seems like a pretty feasible plan to me. In any case, the best place to find a mosquito larva is in the Spooky Forest, which is found in the Distant Woods. We'll mark it on your map for you.

• Subsequent times:

We still need a mosquito larva, Adventurer. Please find us one, in the Spooky Forest. Don't be like these dumb scientists that keep telling me my goo-eating mosquito idea isn't going to work.

• When returning with the mosquito larva:

Level 6 - Deep Fat Friars' Gate Quest

• Initial text:

The Deep Fat Friars in the Distant Woods are having a problem -- one of the experiments has gone awry, and fey creatures have invaded their grove. Different ones than the fey monsters that have invaded everywhere else! Wait, are 'fey' and 'grey' the same thing? Yes, yes, I know that things aren't the same just because they rhyme. I learned that lesson the hard way.

• Subsequent times:

The Deep Fat Friars still require your assistance. You can find them in the Distant Woods. I probably don't even need to tell you that, since there aren't many places to go looking for them anymore.
