At least one of the links to at quest completion does not point to "Amun": after defeating The Big Wisniewski the link next to the solid gold bowling ball points to "council".
You are correct, I changed only those for levelling up, which was the request. I should have looked at those too.
Bale
Minion
Problem with recognizing the start of the MacGuffin Quest. It's a simple and obvious problem though. In questscouncil.txt it says:
The problem is that this ascension I'm not a "him". (I alternate.) As a "her" this does not work. There's a lot of other text to match on. Please choose something non-pronoun specific like, "Who actually <i>are</i> these guardians, Amun?"

"Have you finished dealing with the guardians of your Staff, boss?"The problem is that this ascension I'm not a "him". (I alternate.) As a "her" this does not work. There's a lot of other text to match on. Please choose something non-pronoun specific like, "Who actually <i>are</i> these guardians, Amun?"
HTML:
<p>"Good news, boss!" Amun says, and though you can't see his face, you can hear the excitement in his voice.
<p>
"You found Bale?"
<p>
"Not quite, but we're catching up with her. It seems that the next task the Council sent her on was to steal the Holy MacGuffin!"
<p>
"Aha! That is good news! Do you know what happened to it?"
<p>
"The file regarding that mission is heavily redacted, I'm afraid," Amun says, shaking his head sadly. "You'll have to retrace the adventurer's steps as before. However, this will give you an opportunity to review your security procedures."
<p>
"My what now?"
<p>
Amun points at the Staff of Ed you're carrying. "Your staff, boss. The adventurer was able to gain access to your pyramid, because he was able to recover the pieces of the Staff of Ed from its guardians."
<p>
"Ahh, right," you say, eyes narrowing. "Guardians who could use a firm talking-to about their job performance."
<p>
"Exactly, boss. And you might as well re-hide the pieces of the Staff while you're at it." You hand Amun the staff, and with some deft movements he separates it into its three component pieces, which he hands back to you.
<p>
"Who actually <i>are</i> these guardians, Amun?" you ask. "I'm a little out of touch."
<p>
"I'm ashamed to admit it, boss, but I'm not sure myself. The pieces of the Staff had a geas placed upon them, such that any who held one was compelled to conceal and protect it, but the pieces were then handed down through family lines, lost, stolen, recovered and hidden so many times by so many different parties over the years, their actual route became impossible to discern."
<p>
"And yet the adventurer found them."
<p>
"Indeed. So, if you can retrace the adventurer's movements, you should be able to locate these guardians in much the same way."
<p>
"So where do I start?"
<p>
"Bale was able to locate the pieces of the Staff using her father's diary as a guide. It appears that the man was a noted archaeologist, who had been on the trail of the MacGuffin for many years. Someone in the Distant Lands found the diary, and Bale travelled there to retrieve it."
<p>
"And where is this diary now?" you ask.
<p>
"Unknown," Amun shrugs. "Probably Bale still has it. But, my agents in the Distant Lands were able to locate the man who gave it to her, and luckily, the rogue had made a copy of it for his own gain. My agents were able to… acquire this copy. Unfortunately, you'll need to travel there to pick it up. And even if you had any travel documents, boss, they'd be a bit out of date."
<p>
"Wonderful. So, again, where do I start?"
<p>
"I am told that there is a specialist in forged travel documents in the area. More specifically, he operates out of a Black Market, which can be found somewhere near the Black Forest." Amun marks the location of the forest on your map.
<p>
"So, find the Black Market, get travel documents, travel to the Distant Lands and get the diary copy, and then I can go track down the so-called 'guardians' of the pieces of my staff, give them a piece of my mind, and re-hide the staff."
<p>
"That is correct, boss. And while you're doing that, I shall work on tracing the adventurer's movements after she recovered the Holy MacGuffin."
<p>

Whoa. I learned something new about Bale today. I never knew this about him/her. I will have to watch my he/she pronouns.

[14:53] RUPATUPA: Does Mafia track how many talismen of Renenutet you've purchased today?
[14:53] Lxndr: not in my experience
[14:54] bmaher: no
[14:54] RUPATUPA: Too bad. That would be a useful thing to track.
[14:55] Lxndr: yes. someone should make a feature request, maybe.
Interesting thing is, you can cook (or mix) in-run, even though you don't (seemingly) have a campground with kitchen.
I'm in a Normal Ed run. Just for turngen, I pulled a cherry bomb for a nightcap. That gave me a TPS.
Next day, I pulled two cherries (I had a bottle of whiskey) - but cherry bomb did not show up as makable in the Item Manager.
It is FANCY - so requires a Queue du Coq - which I actually have in my (invisible) kitchen.
Going to Crafting in the Relay Browser and selecting mix, by golly, there are my various cocktailcrafting ingredients - and I made a cherry bomb.
Code:
pull: 1 bartender-in-the-box
use 1 bartender-in-the-box
buy 1 Queue Du Coq cocktailcrafting kit for 1000 each from The General Store
You spent 1,000 Meat
You acquire an item: Queue Du Coq cocktailcrafting kit
use 1 Queue Du Coq cocktailcrafting kit
Mix 1 cherry + 1 tiny plastic sword
You acquire an item: skewered cherry
Crafting used 1 each of tiny plastic sword and cherry
Mix 1 bottle of whiskey + 1 cherry
You acquire an item: old-fashioned
Crafting used 1 each of bottle of whiskey and cherry
Mix 1 skewered cherry + 1 old-fashioned
You acquire an item: cherry bomb
Crafting used 1 each of skewered cherry and old-fashionedNote that it decided to buy the Queue du Coq. I don't recall how or why.
I also made unstable fulminate - a FANCY cooking recipe.
Code:
buy 1 Dramatic™ range for 1000 each from The General Store
You spent 1,000 Meat
You acquire an item: Dramatic™ range
use 1 Dramatic™ range
[450] Cook 1 bottle of Chateau de Vinegar + 1 blasting soda
You acquire an item: unstable fulminate
Crafting used 1 each of bottle of Chateau de Vinegar and blasting sodaThe above, in-run, as Ed.
There's a bug report or suggestion somewhere about remembering what kitchen accessories you have installed so that we don't decide to buy them again when your kitchen is not visible in Ed. Perhaps it is in this thread.
I may have made the fulminate from the CLI; it failed a few times before I unchecked "require in-the-boxes" setting. If so, then yes, we will buy a range for FANCY recipes.
I wanted to make the cherry bomb from the Item Manager - I wanted to see it in my drink options when I had all the ingredients. But, no joy. I did not try making it via the CLI; I went straight to Crafting in the Relay Browser. I saw the fancy ingredients in the dropdowns, and I saw a note saying something like (Using bartender-in-the-box). I selected the ingredients, said Mix, and it mixed for me. I did not tell it to buy a Queue Du Coq - but somebody - KoLmafia, I assume - bought and used one, anyway.
So, yes - it sure looks like it did that even though I did the mixing via the Relay Browser.
Perhaps this series of notes should go into a new Bug/Feature where we can discuss KoLmafia remembering your permanent Kitchen tools, whether or not you can get to your Kitchen.
Hmm. Am I correct in remembering that once you purchased a Dramatic Range or a Queue Du Coq cocktailcrafting kit that they persist across ascensions? The following is from a OCRS run late in July:
It didn't actually take a turn, since I have Rapid Prototyping, but it did not purchase a Dramatic Range.

Of course, this would be far from the first time that the Wiki was flat-out wrong.
I looked through the code. We will buy and install a range or cocktail kit if you don't have one and are doing a FANCY concoction. This is part of CreateItemRequest.autoRepairBoxServant() - which is called ONLY for a CreateItemRequest or a CraftItemRequest. Thus, the Item Manager, the CLI, and ASH - but NOT the Relay Browser.
I assume that my memory was wrong: I must have looked at the dropdowns in the Relay Browser, saw the ingredients, decided that I really could do this, even though the Item Manager did not show me the recipe, and done the deed in the CLI - presumably because it was going to be multi-stage crafting and I didn't remember the intermediate steps.

OK. I guess you still do need to purchase an advanced appliance - but we won't remember it beyond the current session, since we can't see the Campground.
Do you really have to purchase a Range and Queue Du Coq every ascension? If so, then making per-ascension variables for them - rather than depending on looking at the kitchen every session - should do it.
