You say, 'Hail, Voward Hues'

Voward Hues says, 'Ho ho! Hello there, young one! My name is Voward! Voward Maxamillion Hues! Do you know what gnomes have dreamed of? What dreams are made of? What gnomes are made of?'
- [D1] Gnomes dream of electronic sheep?
- [D2] Errr uh, what?

You say, 'Errr uh, what?'

Voward Hues says, 'What? THE DREAM, MAN! The dream of flight. It will change everything!!! Flight is the answer to the future. Travel, warfare, leisure, walking... it will all change with flight! And I, Voward Maxamillion Hues, am the Gnome on the forefront of flight. Further, I am in need of an assistant! Do you have the dream? The dream of what gnomes are made of?'
- [D1] I have the dream.

You say, 'Gnomes dream of electronic sheep?'

Voward Hues says, 'Don't be disgusting! Sheep are for Ogres and Trolls, not gnomes! Maybe you dream a little bit about them when you are first going through puberty but then... wait what? Why are we talking about sheep? Dreams! Gnomes have always dreamed of... *flight*. Flight is the answer to the future. Travel, warfare, leisure, walking... it will all change with flight! And I, Voward Maxamillion Hues, am the Gnome on the forefront of flight. Further, I am in need of an assistant! Do you have the dream? The dream of what gnomes are made of?'
- [D1] I have the dream.

You say, 'I have the dream.'

Voward Hues says, 'Of course you have the dream! Everyone has the dream! Still, I need an assistant since the accident. You will do just fine! You have to promise me that you will keep everything you learn completely secret and be completely and totally faithful to me as your assistant. In consideration of this deal I will give you one copper piece right now. Do you agree to these terms?'
- [D1] I agree to the deal.

You say, 'I agree to the deal.'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you sure?'
- [D1] I am sure.

You say, 'I am sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you absolutely sure?'
- [D1] I am absolutely sure.

You say, 'I am absolutely sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you absolutely, positively sure?'
- [D1] I am absolutely, positively sure.

You say, 'I am absolutely, positively sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Whoa!!! Okay then! You only had to say it once, I trust you! I trust all of my assistants. Here is the copper in consideration of our deal, all legal like. Are you ready? Are you ready your first task towards flight?'
- [D1] I am ready for my first task.

You receive 1 copper pieces.

You say, 'I am ready for my first task.'

Voward Hues says, 'This... this is my newest prototype! I call it, the Steam Powered Jump Pack. I know you are slow, so I will explain it to you! The dream has always been of flight, yes? Well, that dream is from the gnomes! You know what Gnomes have a lot of? Steam. We live in Steamfont. The first word in Steamfont is steam. The reason the first word in Steamfont is steam is because all over these mountains steam literally comes up out of the ground in big fonts! Steam-Font. Get it?'
- [D1] I get it.

You say, 'I get it.'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you sure?'
- [D1] ...I am sure...

You say, '...I am sure...'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you absolutely sure?'
- [D1] I am absolutely sure.

You say, 'I am absolutely sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Are you absolutely, positively sure?'
- [D1] I am absolutely, positively sure.

You say, 'I am absolutely, positively sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Okay! Good! Good, good, good! Well, so we have lots of steam right? Why don't we use that steam to power things? I call it steam-power on account of it using steam to power things! So what I need you to do, is to take this Steam Powered Jump Pack and go to a bunch of the steam fonts in Steamfont and charge it up! You should keep charging it until the little green light on the top blinks! I have no idea how much steam that will be!!! It will just keep taking in steam!!! Do you understand?'
- [D1] I got it.

You say, 'I got it.'

Voward Hues says, 'Whoa whoa! Don't be so hasty. Are you sure?'
- [D1] I am not sure.
- [D2] I am not sure.
- [D3] I am sure.
- [D4] I am not sure.

You say, 'I am sure.'

Voward Hues says, 'Good! I trust you! I trust all of my assistants! Even the ones who have died in the line of duty! That is why I pay for their funerals. But... BUT! Quiz time. I don't want to lose this prototype too! I mean, funerals are not cheap either. So. What do you do with the Steam Powered Jump Pack?'
- [D1] I fill it with steam.
- [D2] I sell it to the Kaezulians.

You say, 'I fill it with steam.'

Voward Hues says, 'Good! You have proven to not be my dumbest assistant ever! I mean, the bell curve is not that impressive, but maybe you won't die like the others. Next question! When do you stop filling the jump pack with steam?'
- [D1] When the green light blinks.
- [D2] When the red light blinks.

You say, 'I sell it to the Kaezulians.'

MISSING TEXT

You say, 'When the green light blinks.'

Voward Hues says, 'You got it! Yes! The green light means it is full! The red light means you are about to die! In fact, I am not sure if the death comes immediately before or after the red light. You might die, and then the red light goes off. Either way, Green was the right answer! I think you are ready. Do you?'
- [D1] Yup. I think I am ready.

You say, 'When the red light blinks.'

MISSING TEXT

You say, 'Yup. I think I am ready.'

Voward Hues says, 'Good! Okay. Here is the prototype. Strap it on, go to a bunch of steam fonts and fill it up with steam. Come back to me when the Green light goes on.'
