From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

Description: Veronica is very worried. Her fiancee went into the big spooky manor house to ask for directions. An hour later and he's still not out yet.

Starting Point: Veronica, north of Draynor and south of Draynor Manor.

Difficulty: Medium

Length: Medium

Requirements: None

Items Needed: A pressure gauge, a rubber tube, an oil can, a spade, fish food, poison, and a key, all found in or around the manor.

Veronica wants you to find her fiancée, Ernest. She says he entered Draynor Manor and hasn't come back yet. Enter the manor. If you want to see what happened to him, climb up the stairs and keep going up the floors until you reach the top. Talk to the professor, who will explain that Ernest was turned into a chicken. However, to change him back, the professor needs parts that were stolen and are somewhere in and around the manor. Help him find a pressure gauge, a rubber tube, and an oil can.

Pressure Gauge: To get the pressure gauge, you will need fish food and poison. Fish food is found on the second floor, and poison is found on the first floor. Look for these two items, and when you've obtained them, go outside the manor through the back door and look for the fountain on the west side of the manor. Use the poison with the fish food so that it becomes poisoned fish food. Use the poisoned fish food with the fountain to kill the piranhas in the water to grab the gauge.

Rubber Tube: Find the spade near the back door. When you've found it, take it and then go outside. Look for the compost on the west side of the manor. Use the spade with the compost and you will get a key. Go back into the manor through the front entrance, and use the key with the door containing the room with the skeleton. If you're a low level, the skeleton will probably attack you. Just grab the rube and run out. If you have a high level, the skeleton won't even attack you.

Oil Can: There is a secret room in the manor. In the most western room on the first floor is a book case. Click on it to push it and enter a secret room. Look for a ladder that leads downwards, and climb down it. You will be in the basement. There will be doors and switches around you. Follow these instructions to obtain the oil can. You will need you use your map.

Pull lever A, pull lever B, enter the north eastern door, pull lever D, enter the south western door, enter the southern door, pull lever A, pull lever B, enter the north western door, enter the western door, enter the northern door, pull lever E, pull lever F, enter the eastern door, enter the eastern door, pull lever C, enter the north western door, enter the western door, pull lever E, enter the eastern door, enter the southern door, enter the southern door, and then enter the western door. You will now be in the room containing the oil can. Grab it, and leave the basement.

Go all the way up to the top floor and talk to the professor. Give him the items and then Ernest will be turned back into a human. When Ernest is done talking, you will be done the quest.

Reward: 4 Quest Points and 300 gp.
