Damian

The Art Gallery Curator looks slightly out of place in the paper-strewn office.

Information

• Area: Darkhaven Art Gallery
• Status: Pacifist

Description

Damian looks younger than you'd expect a Curator to be, especially in the
fabled Darkhaven Art Gallery. His outfit is dark and a little scruffy, a fine
match for his hair and beard. His eyes are blue, bright and sharp, the only
hint of competence and intelligence in his appearance.

Notes

Gives a quest for a soldier's painting:

  Damian says 'Oh, welcome, welcome. Sorry for the mess...I've just taken over the job.
  Damian grins, looking around at the piles of paper.
  Damian says 'I honestly thought there'd be more...searching out treasures, and less paperwork.'
  Damian says 'Maybe you could follow up on something for me? I'm looking for a portrait of a soldier.'
  Damian says 'I hear the original owner was buried in the Unholy Grounds...get it for me, and I'll make it worth your while!'
  Damian shoos you away, and turns back to his work.       

Incomplete:

  Damian looks up in surprise. 
  Damian says 'Oh, $n! Good to see you again.'
  Damian says 'Did you get that portrait of a soldier? If you did, hand it over. I can't wait to take a look at it!'

Complete:

  You give a portrait of a soldier to Damian.
  Damian looks over the painting critically.
  Damian says 'It really is an old mess, isn't it? But I can probably improve it, make this signature here a bit easier to read'
  Damian nods thoughtfully, then looks up and grins.
  Damian says 'But you don't need to hear about all that! Here, let me give you something as a little token of my esteem!'
  Damian rummages around in his desk, and finally pulls out a macabre key.
  Damian says 'Here...I learned a little trick from an old...colleague of mine.'
  Damian says 'Let's just say, he helped me to 'procure antiques'...'
  Damian grins.
  Damian says 'He showed me a way to magically align a key with a specific door. Then when you're at the door, you just say 'open' and the door opens for you.'
  Damian says 'I've magicked this one up to work at the southern gate of Darkhaven. Just stand there when the gate is locked, say 'open', and your key will unlock and open the gate for you.'
  Damian gives you $n's skeleton key.
  Damian says 'Just a precaution...that key will only work for you. No lending it out to everyone you know.'
  Damian says 'And make sure you hold on to it...bring it back some time, and maybe I can improve it a bit, make it work on other doors as well.'
  Damian says 'Thanks again, $n.'
