Giant Trash Quest

From TheKolWiki

Description

When you get to level 10, the The Council of Loathing will inform you that the Nearby Plains are filling up with giant garbage.

Cobb's Knob			The Ruins of Fernswarthy's Tower
	The Cake-Shaped Arena	Degrassi Knoll
The "Fun" House		The Misspelled Cemetary (Post-Cyrpt)	The Cyrpt
The Bat Hole

Tasks

• Acquire an enchanted bean by adventuring in the Beanbat Chamber or by zapping a hill of beans dropped by a Knob Goblin Bean Counter in Cobb's Knob Treasury or a Pile of jumping beans from South of The Border.
• Use the enchanted bean after you have received this Quest from the Council.
• Climb the beanstalk and adventure on The Penultimate Fantasy Airship until you acquire the four Immateria (Tissue Paper Immateria, Gauze Immateria, Tin Foil Immateria and Plastic Wrap Immateria) and the S.O.C.K., which will allow you access to the Castle in the Clouds in the Sky. All of these are obtained from non-combat adventures. Reduced combat frequency will help you get these.
• Adventure in The Castle in the Clouds in the Sky until you encounter the Wheel in the Clouds in the Sky.
• Turn the wheel (any direction will do) and return to the Council immediately -- if you continue adventuring and turn the wheel back to its original position, the quest will not be completed.

Reward

• A piece of the Glad Bag Glad Rags outfit, based on your class.

Council Text

On initial visit:

Something is amiss, Adventurer. The Nearby Plains are filling up with giant piles of garbage, and despite our best efforts, it keeps falling from the sky faster than we can clean it up. We need you to figure out where it's coming from, and put a stop to it.

On subsequent visits:

Please try to figure out where this garbage is coming from, Adventurer! Perhaps you can find a clue by poking around the Nearby Plains.

Upon completion:

We're not sure what you did, Adventurer, but the garbage finally stopped falling. Thanks a lot!

Oh, by the way -- we found this in the garbage when we were cleaning up, and thought you might have some use for it.

References

• The title of the adventure in which you encounter the Wheel in the Sky is called "Wheel in the Clouds in the Sky Keep on Turning." This is an homage (or a satire) to the Journey song, "Wheel in the Sky": "Ooo the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin' / I don't know where I'll be tomorrow / Ooo the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'."
• The title of the quest is a play on the phrase "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." It's from the musical My Fair Lady, specifically the scene in which Henry Higgins asks Eliza Doolittle to recite it for him (in song form, of course).
• The monsters you fight in the Penultimate Fantasy Airship, the items you get, and the area itself are spoofs from Final Fantasy VII. The "Burly Sidekick" is Barret, The "Protagonist" is Cloud, and the "Quiet Healer" is Aeris. The "Phonics Down" is the life restoring item "Phoenix Down" from all of the Final Fantasy games, and the quest items that are the "_________ immateria" is the skill giving "materia" from Final Fantasy VII, and the name (Penultimate Fantasy Airship) is making fun of the name of Final Fantasy and the fact that every Final Fantasy game has included an airship.
• The title "Somewhere over the beanstalk" refers to the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" sung in The Wizard of Oz.
