Walkthrough
 * Cathrione is in the Treant School at D4. She got from Dionte a cursed evil bonnet, which she shred to piece, but the curse hasn't disappeared. So she needs you to find the pieces
 * Look around for the Forest Fel Cats and kill them and collect at least 10 Scraps of the Cursed Bonnet. Definitely need to kill lots of the larger Forest Cats so that the tinier Fel Cats will appear.
 * Once you have all scraps you can repair the bonnet, just double-click on it. Now you need to find out how to destroy the bonnet. In your inventory you have now the Restored Cursed Bonnet.
 * Talk to the teacher Aksel E4 but as long as you are not a student, he won't help you. So he sends you to talk to Ealga (another teacher) and learn from her how to destroy objects. Afterwards I need to take a test from Aksel.
 * Learn the lesson from Ealga. (2 items are: Treant Ember Torch and a Torching Waste Bin)
 * Return to Aksel and take his test (answer the 2 items above), then you'll receive a Treant Ember Torch.
 * Now go and destroy the cursed bonnet at a torching waste bin. (1 floor down, where Catriona stands). Drop all items = the Treant Ember Torch and the Restored Cursed Bonnet in the bin and the processing starts.
 * Return to Catriona to tell her the good news and she'll give you the next quest: Thought Chaser.

Dialogue Aksel: "Tardy pupils need to sit at the back, and I certainly hope you completed your essay on Demonic Vegetation, because I will not accept late papers of any kind! Is that understood?"

You "Yes, sir. Or, I mean, wait, I'm not a student."

Aksel: "Then why are you interrupting my class!"

You "Catriona said that you or one of your colleagues might have some ideas on how I can permanently destroy something that has a dark spell on it?"

Aksel: "Catriona, you say? Well, I still owe her for covering my Underwhelming Ogres Lit class. However, I am not inclined to share my knowledge or my lab supplies with someone who isn't a student, and you just stated that you are not."

You "Maybe I could enroll?"

Aksel: "Possibly... maybe if you attend at least one class here, we could count you as a student. Then I could give you the lesson and supplies you'll need to destroy the item in question."

You "Fine. What class?"

Aksel: "Well, 'Cursed Object Disposal' of course. My colleague, Ealga, gives lessons on it. Come back to me when you've finished it. If you pass my quiz, I will help you. Agreed?"

You "Deal."

Aksel: "Good luck with Ealga."

Ealga: "Are you here for my lesson on proper disposal of cursed objects?" You "Yes. Any chance of the short version?"

Ealga: "No. But it's quite simple as it is. The enchanted fire from a 'Treant Ember Torch' will destroy the cursed object, and all pieces of the object. However, we value safety above all else, so the cursed items must of course be placed into the appropriate receptacle for incineration."

You "And what is the appropriate receptacle?"

Ealga: "Well, naturally, it is a Torching Waste Bin. Once the items have been safely deposited within it, one need only activate the Treant Ember Torch, and then blaze away!"

You "And then what?"

Ealga: "That's all there is. No questions. Class dismissed. Good bye, Flesh Chop!"

Aksel: "Did you complete Ealga's lesson?"

You "I did!"

Aksel: "Well, there is only one way to be sure! Please answer the following two questions correctly. Number one, What item is needed in order to permanently destroy a cursed object?"

You "A Treant Ember Torch."

Aksel: "Correct! Second question, Into what receptacle should the cursed items be placed before triggering the Treant Ember Torch?"

You "A Torching Waste Bin."

Aksel: "Correct! You have successfully completed my quiz. As promised, here is a Treant Ember Torch."

You "Thanks. And where would I find a Torching Waste Bin?"

Aksel: "Second floor, in the corner. Can't miss them. Farewell, Flesh Chop!"

'''You received Treant Ember Torch! '''

You "Bye."

Aksel: "See you later."

Torching Waste Bin: "Torching Routine 65829-045 ready to begin."

You "Yo trash can! I need to torch this bonnet!"

Torching Waste Bin: "Deposit all items to be incinerated along with all proper ingredients."

You "Here you go."

Torching Waste Bin: "Processing..."

You lost 1x Restored Cursed Bonnet.

You lost 1x Treant Ember Torch.

You "..."

Torching Waste Bin: "Process Complete. Torching a Success. Routine Terminated."

Catriona: "Did you destroy the... wait... what were you destroying again?"

You "Yes, the bonnet is now toast. Now please tell me about Dionte and Marigold."

Catriona: "I'll tell you everything I know, up until I placed the bonnet on my head, but then you'll need to locate my scattered thoughts to learn what happened next."

Gained 250k experience!

You "Okay, what do you remember?"

Catriona: "Marigold is a sweet thing, but also reckless. Her father, Argus, asked me to act as her chaperone, and to never let her out of my sight because lately he was convinced that she was up to something. Her mood had changed. She'd become secretive and flighty, would giggle to herself frequently, and had even taken to writing poetry. Bad poetry, I might add, full of grammar errors."

You "Sounds like Marigold was in love?"

Catriona: "Indeed. And with a Spriggan, no less! Shameful! Dionte approached me a few days ago, and confessed his love for Marigold. He begged me to allow them some alone time. Well, naturally, I refused! He was saddened, but said he understood, and gave me a present to show he hadn't any hard feelings."

You "The bonnet."

Catriona: "Yes. It was so pretty! Who wouldn't want to wear such a lovely thing? So I put it on, and suddenly my mind became jumbled and confused, and my thoughts fell out and were scattered all over the place!" You "Thus you need me to find them."

Catriona: "Yes! You must find the scattered thoughts, and then come back and tell me what they revealed. Will you?" You "Absolutely!"

Catriona: "I lost them near Muddy Falls. That is where you should search. Good luck, !
