Involvement

Act Three

Foont is on the path to the House of Grief leading  Kydden,  Gor Falogen, and  Gaff Garsem on a hunt for ghosts using a strange assortment of items. The group are completely oblivious to an entire house full of haunted spirits in Lady Jannath's Estate just behind them, if the ⁠Free the Artist quest is active.

Foont's attitude towards the party likely changes, depending on the outcome of the quest ⁠Stop the Presses.

Idle banter

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Gentlemen, I am quite certain that we are almost upon this most nefarious spirit!

• Gaff Garsem

  How, uh, how can you tell?

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Can't you feel rich, unctuous gouts of necromantic energy simply coursing through the spirit field?

• Gaff Garsem

  Uh... I don't think so...?

• Gor Falogen

  That's because there's nothing here to feel. This is a colossal waste of time.

• Kydden

  I feel something!

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Yes, my friend? What do you feel?

• Kydden

  My ears are cold! What does that mean?

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Well, some spirits do communicate in a rather obtuse manner.

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  It could be inviting you to listen to the tale of its plight!

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  A sepulchral beckoning from beyond the veil!

• Gor Falogen

  Or his ears could just be cold.

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Exercise caution! We do not yet know whether this spirit is malevolent or benign!

• Kydden

  Oh gods, what if it is malevolent? What if it's out to get us?

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Worry not! I am well equipped to protect us in that eventuality.

• Gor Falogen

  You think that wand from that charlatan at Devil's Fee is going to protect us?

• Gor Falogen

  If there was anything we needed protecting from...

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  One must be prepared at all times - an unfortunate demise awaits the hasty.

• Kydden

  It's going to kill us, isn't it?

• Gaff Garsem

  You know, I'm not sure ghost hunting is for me...

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Now, now - I'm sure it's much more scared of us than we should be of it.

• Kydden

  I've seen a real ghost snap someone in half!

• Kydden

  It squeezed their guts out of their ears like an overfilled sausage!

• Kydden

  Well, my cousin saw a real ghost snap someone in half. But they got better.

• Gor Falogen

  Well, I'm very glad they got better.

• 'Suspicious' Foont

  Hush! Too much cacophonous chatter and we'll scare away our quarry.

• Gor Falogen

  Oh, we wouldn't want to do that, would we?
