And now for something completely different...

Ummmm... are we feeding troops to the hungry Phoenix? Haha Inno, it would be super awesome if the quest dialogue matches the tasks. I realize that requires a little work, but it avoids dumb situations like this. While almost none of the dialogue matched the quests for this event (again), it might be good to avoid making the dialogue imply something odd like this. Especially since there was a quest to produce groceries just a few quests before this one.
To further illustrate what I mean, last year's Carnival event had a quest to get "new fabric from the Fairy woods that was gentle on the skin." The task was to make 9hr Steel productions. (So gentle on the skin!)
Another quest talked about a tent that burned down and equipment that needed to be replaced. But the task was to make 60 beverages. (I guess everyone just starts drinking when there's a fire.)
Quest dialogue is not difficult. This year it started out really interesting with competing cults who worshiped different Phoenixes, I was curious where the story would go, but then it never really went anywhere and quest givers started repeating their dialogue.
Please solicit event & story ideas from the players. We have a TON of them. Some good. Some not so good. But at least it might get you pointed in the right direction. I'd write up a whole event for ya if I knew it might actually get looked at.
