== The Sprite Quest ==

When you first create your character and step out into one of the bustling towns of Elanthia, a friendly sprite will come by offering help. The quests you go on with the sprite are designed to let you become acquainted with the basics of how to play [[GemStone IV]], as well as give you some valuable experience and treasure.

To start the quest, simply type '''ACCEPT'''.

== Scenarios ==

=== The Follower of Luukos ===

The first scenario you come across will be an emaciated man on the run. He is a follower of [[Luukos]], the God of Undeath. When a townswoman tries to track him down, you will have to make a moral choice.

During this quest, you will learn how to use the commands [[SAY]], [[ASK]], [[SEARCH]], and [[ACCEPT]]. You will also learn some background about the religious conflict between [[Lorminstra]] and [[Luukos]] and their followers.

Once you have successfully resolved the scenario, '''NOD SPRITE''' to continue.

=== The Depressed Young Warrior ===

In this scenario, you find a young warrior who has lost his sword, and you can offer to help him purchase a new one.

During this quest, you will learn how to use the commands [[SHEATHE]] and [[UNSHEATHE]] to manage weapons, [[DIRECTION]] to find places in town, [[ORDER]] to purchase items from a shop, and [[GIVE]] to hand an item to someone else.

=== The Smuggler Rendezvous ===

In this scenario, a guard will ask you to spy on a smuggling ring inside the city.

During this quest, you will learn how to use the commands [[HIDE]], [[UNHIDE]], [[STEAL]], and [[SHOW]], as well as some other actions depending on your choices. You can also acquire a large amount of [[silver]] coins (for a new character, at least).

=== The Wounded Child ===

In this scenario, a young girl is trying to find a healer for her wounded sister. Even if you are a [[empath|healer]] yourself, the injuries are too severe for someone of your limited experience, so you will have to learn to [[TEND]] bleeding wounds, or [[FORAGE]] or purchase herbs. If you choose to forage, you will have to venture out of town into the wilderness. Don't worry about your possible lack of foraging skills, since the sprite will be happy to help you out as long as you are in the right place. Once you have found the herb, head back into town. The girl and her sister may not be in the same place when you get back, but as long as you are in town they will eventually find you.

Sadly, you will not be able to save the child in time, but you will learn how to use a [[white flask]] to preserve a body while waiting for an experience cleric to arrive. Make sure to [[GIVE]] the cleric some silver coins in appreciation. The gods smile on such generosity and will grant you a [[deed]] for your efforts.

=== The Terrible Beast ===

In this scenario, a terrible beast lurks in a cave outside town.

During this quest, you will learn the basics of [[a beginner's guide to combat|combat]]: how to hold a weapon, how to use the [[STANCE]] command, how to [[ATTACK]], and (if you are a spellcaster) how to [[INCANT]] your magic. If you don't feel perfectly confident before taking on the beast, you can also ask other players in town if they would be willing to cast some defensive spells on you.

== Rewards ==

The rewards for completing the sprite quests depend on your choices, but in general you will receive some silvers, a couple magic items, and a fair amount of experience, usually enough to take you from Level 0 to Level 1, sometimes even Level 2 if you managed to visit enough important places in town. You will also get a little round mirror as a souvenir.
