Do you need medical attention? Quests - Quest

Heal & Potions - fully replenishes HP, MP, and potions. Shop - opens Riadne's Scythe (Shop). Talk Riadne: Come on, we have so much catching up to do! - Past years
Riadne: Oh, after the thing with Greed I decided to go traveling. I'm fascinated with all kinds of spiders, I find them fascinating! Riadne: Did you know that some spiders hunt, constantly moving, instead of living a sedentary life and trapping their prey in a web? Riadne: But I digress. I've been traveling, expanding my knowledge, practicing arachnomancy and occasionally even trying to be a heroine! Riadne: I returned to Ravenloss about a year ago, to see how much had changed. Riadne: The city was in a better state, with Tomix's and Izaac's help, but I wanted to help too. And so I've been helping in the orphanage ever since. - Medical Arachnomancy?
Riadne: That's right! I discovered that the manasilk I conjure can be applied as a bandage or a gauze, accelerating the wound healing process! Riadne: Also, with a trial and error method, I've perfected spider manipulation, and can now fill them with a strong potion extract... Riadne: ... shrink a whole colony of these spiders to a size of a grain of salt, or even smaller, and apply them inside human body... Riadne: ... and magically detonate them, all at once, to release the potion into the bloodstream. I have once saved a life thanks to this! - Arachnomancy Origins
Riadne: As far as I know, arachnomancy has been around for a very long time. Riadne: From various books that my grandma gave me, I've learned that our ancestors originally used arachnomancy to foretell the future. Riadne: After some time, arachnomancers created a bond with the spiders so strong, that they could communicate with them. Riadne: Not only that, the spiders were actually teaching us magic that we later called arachnomancy! Magic like this manasilk you see here. Riadne: We got the knowledge to conjure it from spiders. However, overtime this gift of communication faded... Riadne: ... but arachnomancers nowadays can still manipulate spider in some ways. <Character>: Does this mean arachnomancy can't be taught to people who do not have arachnomancers as their ancestors? Riadne: Yes. I can't teach you actual arachnomancy, but I can try and teach you about arachnalchemy! - Tomix
Riadne: I fully support Tomix, don't get me wrong, but I'm really worried how this journey will impact him. Riadne: I've seen him looking into the void the other day, crying. This whole ordeal with Envy is taking a toll on his mental health. Riadne: He won't admit it, but he's depressed. We need to do our best to make him feel better. - Izaac
Riadne: Izaac isn't doing very well. He's in poor condition after he's been attacked by a void creature some time ago. Riadne: The wound is infected with some kind of void virus I've never seen before. I've managed to slow down the infection as best as I could... Riadne: ... but it is still spreading. So far only his vision has changed, but I have to stop this virus! It's... very important to me. Invite Riadne as a guest (Locked) Arachnalchemy (Locked) Izaac's cabin Izaac: Whoever this is, go away! My lab is not set up yet! Lanrete: My brother is out and he told me to not let anyone in. Yashta Yashta: This is an interesting place. And boring. I like to kill time by defeating creatures in this "Pellow Village" place. You should try it, master. The Void Ship's engine room Mysterious G.: I'm sorry, <Character>, but this area of the ship is off limits... for now. The void drive is being installed and tested as we speak. Eirn: Greetings <Character>. Quest Eirn: If you can, take my Crystoidator v.4, go defeat some void beings and upload their void essence into it, I'm eager to study it! Talk Eirn: I'm all ears! - Who are you?
Eirn: Right. Time to properly introduce myself. I'm Eirn, a technomancer and ship's engineer. You've known me as the "mysterious gnome"! Eirn: I'll be overseeing the Void Drive, ship's main intelligent power source. My job here is to provide a safe and steady voyage! *laughs* - Void Drive
Eirn: The Void Drive is my greatest creation so far. It is a crystallized mass of pure void energy. You can say it's an artificially created void core. Eirn: It is extremely unstable, so I had to design a way to keep it contained and stable... Eirn: ... or otherwise it would start expanding and contracting at the same time, leading to... well, we certainly don't want to find out, do we! <Character>: You said it is an "intelligent" power source... is it sentient? Eirn: Not yet, but I'm working on it. Void is a curious thing and just think of what we could find out about it by asking it! Eirn: Kordana was kind enough to lend me part of her "soul", for lack of a better term, and I want to inject it into the Void Drive! - Kordana?
Eirn: Oh yes, I've met her during one of my journeys. Or should I say, what was left of her. She lost her power source and was slowly fading. Eirn: I did my best to keep her systems operating, but... I'm not sure if she's still around today. In return for doing my best, she gave me an artifact. Eirn: A round disc-like object that apparently has her soul inside. Eirn: I didn't think much of it back then, but now, I think it would be a splendid idea to fuse this disc with the Void Drive! - Why so mysterious?
Eirn: Ah... you see <Character>, I had to hide my identity. Here, no one knows me, so I don't have to keep my face hidden. I am a wanted man. <Character>: No way! Eirn: I stole something a long time ago from a prominent gnome family, they took something of mine, I want them pay, they want me dead. Eirn: Simple, really. The Void Ship's promenade deck Panae: Oh, hello <Character>! Everyone is helping in the lower deck, don't be surprised if you won't see a lot of people. Tani: Ugh, I am so hungry! Where's the chef? Did captain even send for him? Vaal: It looks like we will have cabins next to each other... so until I finish setting mine up, get lost!
