Defusing The Feud Part One is a Quest in Villagers & Heroes.

'' I talked to the Spriggan named Dionte, who is being punished in The Mire of Shame for doing something terrible to the Treants, who are now at war with the Spriggans because of it.

Dialogue Fussy Carlotta Fussy Carlotta:

Gynt

Gynt: "State your business, Flesh Chop."

You "I'm looking for the place where the Treants teach their young. And what did you just call me?"

Gynt: "Flesh Chop. It's what we call all of your kind. And, sorry, but you can't enter without a key, so you won't be visiting our lands any time soon."

You "Well, how do I get a key?"

Gynt: "From a key vendor of course, which is what I happen to be! Except..."

You "Except what?"

Gynt: "Except I'm not allowed to sell keys in the Coille... and with tensions running high from this war, I won't be the guy to cross the picket line, if you know what I mean."

You "So what am I supposed to do?"

Gynt: "Well, you'll need to talk to the Coille's key vendor, the Spriggan Rafi. War aside, I really like the guy, we key vendors tend to be cut from the same cloth. But sadly this feud has really taken a toll on poor ole Rafi. Made his ulcers flare up, so he's taken a leave of absence."

You "So I really am stuck?"

Gynt: "Seems so. He's healing up in Lampkin Village. I'm sure he'll be better soon."

You "Thanks for you help Gynt."

Gynt: "No problem. Good bye, Flesh Chop!"

Dionte

Dionte: ", you're back! Are you any closer to figuring out what it is that I did?"

You "Yes, but I still have quite a ways to go. Dionte, I'm afraid you've been up to some dubious activities."

Dionte: "Like what?"

You "First you bought a purple bonnet and some rare slug larvae from Carlotta."

Dionte: "That's not so dubious..."

You "Then you went to the Dunes of The Dead, and buried something with The Spade of Bones."

Dionte: "I was wondering why I had blisters..."

You "But Rasmus saw you, and you cursed him with a drifting spell!"

Dionte: "I did what? Oh, no."

You "Oh, yes. I still haven't learned what you buried, and the statue, Kern, says that only the enchanted Spade of Bones can dig it up again."

Dionte: "I wonder what I did with the spade..."

You "But Kern did hear you whisper to yourself that next you were headed to the Treant school to see a girl with the name of a flower, and that you feared her chaperone."

Dionte: "I don't remember any of this!"

You "Apparently, you planned to give this chaperone an offering. I need to talk to the chaperone, but I have to wait until I can get a key from Rafi, to enter The Coille of the Treants."

Dionte: "Ah yes, Rafi has quite the sensitive stomach."

You "So yes... dubious activities."

Dionte: "Oh, , you have to get to the bottom of all of this! Promise you won't give up on me, but will continue to solve this mystery, and bring an end to the feud between Spriggans and Treants?"

You "I promise, Dionte. As long as you hold up your end of the deal."

Dionte: "I promise to tell you about Blighted Isles! I will! But maybe there is something you can do now, while you wait for Rafi..."

You "What's that?"

Dionte: "Head to Lampkin Village, the home of my people. They are always in need of help, and if you get close with them, I'm sure that when the time comes they will listen to you about more important things, like about whether to set me free..."

You "That sounds like a great idea Dionte. I'll do this."

Dionte: "Find Lidinia, she will get you started. Farewell, !" You "Bye."

Dionte: "Be safe in the Coille!"

Lidinia

Lidinia: "Hello traveler."

You "I was told by Diont-- err, I mean I was told that your village was in need of help?"

Lidinia: "Ah, subtle. It's not like we Spriggans haven't been watching you traipse all over our Coille."

You "Even so... maybe I could help out with some tasks around you village?"

Lidinia: "No matter who you are, or what you are up to... we could ALWAYS use some help!"

Gained 1.8m experience!

You "Well I have nothing but time until Rafi feels better..."

Lidinia: "Ah yes, it usually takes Rafi a few days to get over an ulcer. So you can help us in the meantime. We have plenty of tasks to do, we try to be friendly and helpful as much as we can throughout the Coille. Talk to the various members of the village to find out how you can help."

You "Great!"

Lidinia: "Then in a few days, Rafi should be feeling better! Come back to me when you have done a few days worth of tasks and have collected several Lampkin Totems. Then we'll see if we can get Rafi up and about."
