#honorary mentions for caitlyn in camp drybone who insists that every adventurer slays 7 dusty mongrels

New adventurer asks: B1. Did any (early level) side quests have a particular impact on you? Did you make a habit of helping people with 'adventurer' work, why or why not?

Indie was keen to make a good impression, so she offered to help anyone and everyone. Mostly she was asked to deliver messages and cull pests, pretty basic stuff, which is how she earned her nickname Noddy - thank you Thancred. Although some were nothing more than a drain of her time (eg sprinting across East Thanalan in torrential rain to fetch some muddy pond water for the "parched" plants and flowers in Drybone), others felt important. Trying to help the sick and wounded in Little Ala Mhigo when they were refusing Ul'dahn medicine was a good example of where putting in just a little bit of time and effort made a difference.

Since moving to Ishgard as a ward of house Fortemps, she's been less available. Initially this was due to the frosty attitudes of the locals and the trauma of having lost her fellow Scions, but she's also recently been pretty focused on tracking down the Archbishop*

*Mostly focused on that, despite having spent the last few days strutting around with a sword. She's in training XD

A couple of early quests still play on her mind a lot; the horrors of Haukke Manor still creep into her dreams some nights, but the one that haunts her the most began on the day she met a troubled Lalafell by the name of Paiyo Reiyo on Emerald Avenue. There was something very off about the wedding invitation he had received. Poor Edda, unable to come to terms with losing her beloved Avere, and her friend Liavinne, planned a very dark ritual… That one was brutal. The only pic I got from that is of Indie sitting in the rain afterwards attempting to process wtf just happened.
