No Colors Anymore

You arrive back at the gnomish sietch and hand the stone rose to Gnasir. He holds it out for the other gnomes, who inspect it carefully, and then nods. One of the other gnomes wraps it in a cloth and carries it into one of the huts.

"Well done, traveler," Gnasir says. "I have but one more task for you, to prove yourself to our tribe." He leads you over to the largest hut, and points at its red wooden door. "See this red door? I want it painted black."

"...That's it?" you ask.

"Yes."

"This is a test of my honor and worthiness to your tribe? Paint your door?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure you're not just taking the opportunity to have me do some menial jobs while I'm here?"

Gnasir looks mildly affronted. "Of course not."

• Without a can of black paint:

"Okay, fine," you sigh, and trudge off to find some black paint.

• With a can of black paint:

"Okay, fine," you sigh, and pull a can of black paint out of your pack. Gnasir lends you a brush, and you paint the door black as night, black as coal.

"Good work," he says, as you hand the brush back. "You have passed our tests. I must now confer with the rest of the tribe, and make preparations for your training. Come back when the sun has lowered a hawk's span in the sky."

"What?"

"About twenty minutes or so."

Occurs at The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert if you have the Ultrahydrated effect active (a one-time adventure).

Notes

• If you already have a can of black paint, you can skip the Still No Colors Anymore adventure (you give Gnasir the stone rose and paint the door black in this adventure).
• Part of the Quest for the Holy MacGuffin.
