There's a wounded king, well actually two, and one is more maimed than wounded. They live together in a castle on a hill with the Grail in a room between them. Neither can walk or fuck, but the Grail keeps them alive, so one likes to spend his days fishing in a little pond at the bottom of the hill. Their line is about to end, and the king that doesn't go fishing is pretty worked up about it.


The worried/maimed king tasks you with a quest to find the spear that castrated the two of them, as it's the only thing that will close these gaping wounds they’ve suffered. 


He neglects to mention that these wounds might be self-inflicted, and that it's the spear that pierced Christ, and that he lost it in a moment of temptation in a magical forest filled with maidens who hang around all day waiting for knights to ride through. 


Your reward for this little enterprise is eternal salvation, but with a good speech stat you can probably get some gold too. Plus you'll get to say you were present for the healing. 


If you don't do it, you'll have to hear these miserable kings wailing all day until you get around to accepting, or leave the area. 


They'll still be there when you get back though; fishing, complaining, leaking.




Accept?                                                                   Decline?
