How this page is made: every step comes from the NPC scripts the server loads for Episode 13.2 (the file and line are under each step). "When" lists the checks the script makes before that branch runs; "Have with you" are the items it counts; experience from getexp is multiplied by the server's 50x quest rate. NPC lines are the script's own text.
