Solveig Karisdóttir is looking for her father; perhaps you can ask a few of the lupines or half-lupines you know? (X / Y Lupines asked)
- You know first hand that June can't possibly be the father, and he had no leads. - Garth has no idea; he was probably the first person Solveig asked. - You've asked Anna and Morwen for any information they might have, and Morwen gave you her father's company knife... it's at least a piece of the puzzle but you'll have to ask a few more lupine. - Garret reckons it could be any old wolf; perhaps you could try Gwyn? - Gwyn recommended going to Sanders, who has given you the location to a raider camp in the North-Eastern Old Forest. Hopefully it's the very same one Solveig was conceived in. - You've located a gigantic orcish bra, it's a stretch but perhaps it's a clue when combined with a few other findings? There's a chance Grettel has more insight. - Grettel is pretty sure the giant bra belongs to Solveig's family. That might narrow down a time and place. - Unfortunately, Drifa doesn't know who Solveig's father is, but she did tell you to check either Garth or the girls at the Pupperidge Farm for answers. Note: X is the number of notable lupines asked, Y is the number of known notable lupines that can be asked |

Detailed Summary
About her dad
When asked about her dad, Solveig answers that she doesn't know who her papa is. Most of her mother's partners have met the family before, either having visited themselves or brought to the overland, and the look of pride or joy on their faces is what she wants. She's asked around, but turned up no answers. The Champion proposes that they could go asking around, but they first ask Solveig what she'll do if he's already dead. She reassures them and herself that she did prepare for that possibility, but she'd still like to visit his grave or the place he fell to at least show that he had a daughter that grew up right. She'll stay at the tavern, as she wants to meet her father before she worries about the next step, and if the Champion does find him, she'll do what she can to repay the favor.
On the search
Garth
Being the closest one available, the Champion asks Garth if he's Solveig's Papa. His response is to frown as he explains that he did have run-ins with orcs before, but he already told Solveig. When asked about these 'run-ins', Garth explains that orcs raid a lot and sometimes a bunch of dumb young pups get their blood up and something on the 'spoils of war'.
Garret
In regards to Garret, the Champion wonders if he knows any older lupines. Garret initially throws a mocking comment about not knowing what daddy issues are right, but answers that while his dad was no saint, he feels that Garth already answered her. He feels that there's something about Solveig and suggests they ask Gwyn.
Gwyn
When asked if she knows anything about Solveig's would-be father, Gwyn answers that she thinks her daddy would never go having sex with random giant orcs but suggests that they go see Brother Sanders as he was a full-pledged paladin who helped protect the village from orcs and other dangers back in the day.
With that in mind, they go directly to Brother Sanders and asks if they know anything about who Solveig's father is. He comments that the lovely girl came to him for some reading and teaching material, and for a moment looks uncomfortably pensive. He then answers what while he has stories of valiant combat, those weren't the kind of situations that led to laying an enemy. He places a palm on his holy text as he recommends that they investigate a large raiding camp that was their group's best ambush; he knows for a fact that a great many of Hawkethorne's lupines saw their needs met that evening. Before the Champion departs, Brother Sanders adds that he did not indulge in it.
Raider Camp
| |||||||||
Investigating through the camp, the Champion finds an odd patch of dirt, if Arona is present, she will stop them, having recognized the Sluasaid burrow; else, a burrowing creature's teeth wraps around the Champion's leg, before being flung through the dirt. Three sluasaids emerge from their burrows to attack the Champion - they note that one of the creatures has a giant metal bra stuck to its head. Regardless of victory or defeat, they are able to retrieve the metal bra.
Grettel
Having retrieved the metal bra, the next time the Champion sits and drinks with Grettel will have her recognize that is belonged to Karis, or at least one of her sisters as her family's ilk were one of the few girls who wrote metal-capped bras back in the day.
Anna & Morwen
Asking the girls if they know anything about Solveig's estranged father, Morwen asks what Solveig knows about him. After giving her the details, she leaves to retrieve a stylized bronze eating knife and explains that her father was part of some anti-raider groups, and that maybe Solveig can recognize it. The Champion promises to return it as soon as they can, but Morwen tells them she'd rather her father's blade didn't just sit around gathering dust. With that Anna interjects and states that she knows that the Champion is excited to go back to Solveig, but asks if they aren't interested in something a little more. With that, the Champion is left with the choice of sex (regular Anna sex options) or to pass it off for another time.
June
When asked if he knows anything, June answers that he's (never had sex/only ever slept with the Champion), let alone not being old enough for have kids.
Drifa
As a (previous resident/current resident) of Hawkethorne, the Champion asks Drifa if she knows anything about Solveig's father. She answers that she doesn't, but adds that she can at least confirm that Solveig isn't related to her or her parents as she gets her lupine traits from her mother. She points the Champion in the direction of asking Garth and Anna, being the two most likely lupines to know something.
Discussing the clues
Solveig asks if the Champion has heard anything yet:
The Champion shows the knife to Solveig, who recognizes that her mother has one in her jewellery box. When asked if he was her father, the Champion answers that unfortunately, Morwen's father is dead but it seems unlikely for him to have multiples of the same knife.
The Champion ponders why Garret wasn't being very helpful, although it's more likely he doesn't know of any older lupines being pounded by a pink-haired orc.
The Champion explains that Brother Sanders pointed them in the direction of an old raider camp, where they found the giant metal bra. Solveig's eyes go wide as she whistles that the metal bra is almost as big as her mother's.
Having talked to Grettel, the Champion recounts that Karis kept a black-and-white wolf boy all to herself. The both of them turn their eyes towards Garth, and Solveig states that he was her first guess, but Garth was pretty sure it wasn't him.
Breaking the news
With all leads investigated and clues present, Solveig states that she has to ask him again, but asks the Champion to come with her. The two approach Garth and Solveig presents the knife and metal bra, asking if he's able to do anything with these clues. Garth's face jumps in surprise as he recognizes the items, while Solveig explains that Grettel and her mother was on the raid where she got conceived, and that the metal bra belonged to her mother. On the topic of the blade, Solveig explains that her mother has one in her jewellery box that must have been her father's. With a click of his tongue, he asks Solveig if her mother always had pink hair and not red, to which she recalls that her mother's was always pink but her oldest brother has red hair. She interrupts her own recollection as she understands what he asked, the Champion for their part gives the two some space as Garth makes his way out from behind the bar to pull Solveig into a rough hug. Garret notices the hug and lets out an aggrieved cry of "Oh for fuck's sake!", but states that it was just instinct shouting. Eventually Gwyn is called in and the newly-made family gather at a more private place, but not before Garth gives the Champion a bottle of something nice to keep them company.
With the reunion out of the way, Solveig returns to thank them as it meant everything to her, and that she'll keep her promise; that if they need anything from her, she'll be here. When asked if Garret's alright, she answers that it was because they almost fucked, that they kissed and were supposed to go further, but he couldn't keep it up for some reason. Solveig states that she's still a really good kisser and the Champion is given the following options:
| Option | Tooltip | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Kiss Her! | With tongue, damnit. | A kiss with tongue |
| Behave | No, behave. | No kiss, but an ear rub |
Result & Reward
Reuniting a daughter with the father she's been looking for. Outside of that, nothing really.
