Before you start

The game files put these quests in one group:

  • Stump Research
  • Truth of the Rumor-Blackbull
  • Truth of the Rumor- Dances with Balrog
  • Truth of the Rumor-Betty
  • A Report for the Doctor

We have not tested what this means. Most likely only one of them can be in progress at a time. They are steps of one quest line, so you still do all of them, one after another.

From the game files, not tested in Classic World.
