Quest Dialog:

Speak with John Dan, who can be found in the back of the Defenders of Albion with the training dummies and archery targets, loc=22209,22233,7999 dir=260 City of Camelot.

John Dan says, "Oh my, you startled me. I was just standing here with my beloved. Pardon me if I don't turn to greet you proper, but I just can't take my [eyes off her]."

John Dan says, "Why my beloved Targetta here."

John Dan says, "Isn't she beautiful? Just like I always dreamed. My [true love]."

John Dan says, "What? I know she's just a targeting dummy. You don't think I don't know that? Does that make my love any less true? I know that within this targeting dummy lies my true love's spirit. I only need to set her free..."

John Dan cocks his head like someone else is talking.
John Dan says, "What dearest? You think this fine Armswoman could help us?"
John Dan says, "Why yes, I believe you could [help us]."

John Dan says, "I believe if you gather the ingredients and talk to Parnel in town, he might be able to make a spell that could free my beloved spirit. I'd go myself, but I don't want to risk that [harm may befall] my beloved."

John Dan says, "What harm? Why there are birds building nests, dogs marking their territory, and even turncoats that want to use her for practice! Dangers abound to my amour! Please help us with this. It is for true love you know..."

Will you help the half-ogre gain his true love? [Levels 30-50]
You have been given the Falling in Love for Dummies quest.


John Dan says, "Delightful. We will await your return eagerly. Once my love is free, I'm sure we can come up with something to thank you."

John Dan says, "You can find Parnel studying tomes on the upper floor of one of the wings of the Academia Magus."

[Step #1] Seek out Parnel in town to see if he can create the potion John Dan requested. He can be found upstairs in a wing of the Academia Magus.
( Parnel is upstairs in the left wing building off of/facing 'Academia Magus'), loc=26491,21582,8203 dir=272 City of Camelot.)

Parnel says, "My, my. I should have never given up my practice with the amount of calls I've received of late. Good to see you again, (Your Name)."

Parnel says, "John Dan wants to what? Well, I would want no part of that, even if I was still in practice, which I'm not. For that you need to go see Weston, he could do what you request."

Parnel says, "Weston can be found lurking in the upper rooms of the guild of shadows. I'm sorry I can't be more specfic."

[Step #2] Seek out Weston to see if he can create the potion John Dan requested. He can be found lurking in the Guild of Shadows on one of the upper floors.
( Weston is on the 4th floor in the Guild of Shadows building, loc=23082,19700,8588 dir=271 City of Camelot.)

Weston says, "Good day, (Your Name). You are here on behalf of John Dan. Don't bother asking how I know; I'll just tell you, it's what I do. I'm psychic. Psychotic some say. To do what John Dan asks of you, I will need two things. Before I begin, I must ask you one question. Is true love worth anything?"

Weston says, "Just a simple yes or no will suffice."

You say, "no"

Weston says, "You answer no. Does that mean you have a foolish heart or a noble head? No matter, the answer is irrelevant to [the tasks] involved. I only asked to find out what kind of Armswoman you are."

Weston says, "The first task is to go see Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone in his bar near that 'Magus Shoppus'. I will need a fresh cut heart from a wolf cub. They are a delicacy and hard to come by, but Malone owes me. Just mention my name and tell him what you need. Bring it back to me immediately when you get it."

[Step #3] Talk to Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone in his bar to get a fresh wolf heart. You will need to mention [Weston] to get it. The bar is off of the market near the 'Magus Shoppus'.
( Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone is at loc=28747,20830,8009 dir=97 City of Camelot, in the building across from the main market area with the fountain.)

You say, "Weston"

Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone says, "Weston sent you, did he? Well I guess I owe him. What [delicacy] does he need now?"

Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone says, "A wolf cub heart? Fresh, even? As luck would have it, I do have one. I just hope he isn’t dabbling in anything forbidden [again]."

Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone says, "I shouldn’t get into his past; it’s his story to tell when he is ready. I would hate to see him return to his old ways and be cast out again though. I’ve said too much, take this heart and I hope you need it for the right reasons."

You receive the Heart from a wolf cub from Barkeep 'Shorty' Malone!

[Step #4] Bring the wolf cub heart back to Weston.

Weston says, "Yes, this is perfect for what we must do. Now, on to the next task. We will need a counter-reagent for the spell to be effective. This can be obtained from an undead wolf cub. The undead wolf cub has no heart so we must instead use its intact ribcage."

Weston says, "Luckily, I know another person in town that owes me a favor and collects such spectral rarities. Talk to Will here in town about the ribcage we need, I’m sure he can provide. He tends his 'flock' atop a stable near the Church."

[Step #4] Talk to Will about getting a undead wolf cub's [ribcage]. He can be found tending his 'flock' above the stable near the Church.
( Will is at loc=29111,17844,8455 dir=290 City of Camelot, upstairs in the stable nearest the Church)

You say, "ribcage"

Will says, "Weston needs a ribcage from an undead wolf cub? I knew it. I knew Weston couldn’t stay [out of the game] long."

Will says, "The meddling game. Just remember, there is always a [catch]. Always."

Will says, "I’m sorry; I’m the wrong person to elaborate. I do have the ribcage you need however. Take it and give Weston my best. He’ll need it..."

You receive the Ribcage from a undead wolf cub from Will!

[Step #5] Bring the undead wolf ribcage to Weston.

Weston says, "Excellent job on the ribcage. Let me now prepare the potion."

You watch Weston take the wolf cub heart and suspend it within the undead wolf cage over a large vial. As he chants, the ribcage slowly begins to contract. As it begins to constrict the heart, blood drips down into the vial below. As the heart is squeezed tighter and tighter, the vial fills faster and faster. Finally, the vial is about to overflow when Weston stops and the ingredients fall to the floor, spent.

[Step #5] Weston is making the potion. If you should fail to get the potion, just talk to him again.

Weston says, "Finished. Before you take it though, you must know something. There is a [limitation] on this type of magic. "

Weston says, "This potion of undeath will bring his love free, but the effect is only temporary. They will have one minute together before she returns to her confines. I wish I could do more. Now take the potion and go, I must recover from the ritual."

You receive the Potion of Undeath from Weston!

[Step #6] Take the potion of undeath to John Dan at the targeting dummy that is his beloved.

John Dan says, "You've brought the potion! I'm so happy! We will finally [be together]."

[Step #6] You have given him the potion, but you must tell him of the limitation.

John Dan says, "What? Oh my? I'll only get a minute of time with her before the potion wears off? Oh what cruel twist of fate is this..."

[Step #6] It seems John Dan is talking to his beloved again, give him a moment to finish and then speak to him again if need be.

John Dan says, "Yes... Yes... Yes, I know."
John Dan says, "Targetta makes sense. It is better to have one minute of time together than to spend eternity apart."
John Dan says, "Thank you so much! I appreciate your help. We appreciate your help."

[Step #6] It seems that John Dan has forgotten about you with the thoughts of his one minute in his head. Talk to him again to remind him about payment.

John Dan says, "Oh my, I almost forgot. Your payment. Silly me. I had started planning out [my minute] in my head and lost track of you."

John Dan says, "Well, I figure I'll save the potion and use it when we are alone so we can maximize our minute together. Here, take these coins and my gratitude. I have a magical minute to plan."
