I'm Scrooge McDuck! I made my fortune being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties.
— Scrooge McDuck

Scrooge McDuck is a character from the classic Disney cartoon shorts. When the player arrives in Dreamlight Valley Scrooge already lives there and has a store in the Plaza. After reopening his store he can be found there at all times, and will sell a rotating selection of clothing and furniture.

His store is opened during the quest Making Cents of Things, and unlike other villagers he does not have a house. In addition to operating the store, Scrooge provides the player options to purchase and upgrade wells, stalls, and character houses. He is already unlocked in the Dreamlight Valley Characters Collection when starting the game.

Unlocking

Players will have Scrooge McDuck unlocked automatically when beginning a new game. He can be first encountered outside his closed store in the Plaza.

Schedule

Main article: Time.

Scrooge McDuck does not eat at Chez Remy or Tiana's Palace, he can be found inside his store at all times of day and night.

Although he will wander the Valley at different times, he will always be inside his store to speak to if the Player goes inside.

It's all yours. And a very wise investment indeed.

Aye, but remember: My stock isn't always the same.

Daily Discussions

Are you looking for something?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Player, have you seen my nephew Donald?

→  I was just talking to him.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Ah! Then he must be close by. Good. I need his help with something.

→  I saw him a while ago.
Scrooge McDuck.png

If you see him again, let him know I need his help with something.

→  Who?
Scrooge McDuck.png You haven't met? Oh, I thought you had.
Scrooge McDuck.png He's a keen lad. Useful in a pinch. Partial to wearing his sailor's uniform.
Scrooge McDuck.png [Response to previous question]
→  Could I help you instead?
Scrooge McDuck.png That's kind of you, but I need Donald for this. He knows just how I like the stock inventoried.
Scrooge McDuck.png And it's high time we did a little uncle-nephew bonding.
→  What do you need?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Oh, it's nothing urgent. Nothing Valley-shaking. I was just rather looking forward to some uncle-nephew bonding.

→  Why Donald?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Well, he knows just how I like the stock inventoried. And we have some catching up to do.

Do you miss Scotland?
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye. This time of year, I'm longin' to see a good caber toss. Bet I could show the Villagers here a thing or two!
Scrooge McDuck.png Do you have a favorite Scottish sport?
→  Probably. I like all sports!
Scrooge McDuck.png Skittle me kilts! That's grand! Gettin' your heart pumpin' is good for the constitution.
Scrooge McDuck.png You'd probably take to the hammer toss like a McDuck takes to stock dividends!
Scrooge McDuck.png If you like sports, here's a wee bit of trivia for ya...
→  There aren't any Scottish sports!
Scrooge McDuck.png Sufferin' Scots! No Scottish sports?!
Scrooge McDuck.png You've a great deal to learn on the matter, Player! Here's a wee quiz...
→  I don't really like sports.
Scrooge McDuck.png Not a one? Perhaps you just haven't found the one for you, Player.
Scrooge McDuck.png Here, let me give you a little quiz. It might just spark your interest.
Scrooge McDuck.png This sport originated in Scotland in the middle ages and has even been played on the moon!
Scrooge McDuck.png When it started, you'd have to hit a wee pebble with a bent stick over and around some sand dunes. What sport is it?
→  Baseball?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Och no! You've got to read up on your Scottish history! The answer is GOLF!

→  Golf?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, well done! The only sport that leaves time for business!

→  Curling?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Afraid not. Though it may have started in Scotland... there's no hitting sticks involved, just sweeping rocks.

Scrooge McDuck.png Ya know, this has inspired me! Maybe I'll find a tree and make my own caber right here!
Scrooge McDuck.png Since I don't imagine you'll be turning the Peaceful Meadow into a golf course anytime soon...
How old are you?
Scrooge McDuck.png Older than you and proud of it!
Scrooge McDuck.png How old do you think I am?
→  Age is just a number!
Scrooge McDuck.png I couldn’t agree more!
Scrooge McDuck.png If you've the heart and energy for a venture, then no number should be stoppin' you!
→  You're young at heart!
Scrooge McDuck.png A fine compliment, indeed! When my joints start to ache, I hunt for a new adventure!
Scrooge McDuck.png There's nothing like a bit of adrenaline to put the pink in your cheeks!
→  Old?
Scrooge McDuck.png I think you mean "experienced"!
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, I may be old, but the tales I could tell will send your spine a-tingling.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Remember: Your life is what you make it. It's never too early or too late to start pursuing your dreams!

How's it going?
Scrooge McDuck.png I've got another piece of advice for ya.
Scrooge McDuck.png When it comes to investments, you've got to diversify your portfolio.
→  What does that mean?
Scrooge McDuck.png

It means don't put all your Star Coins in one basket.

→  Like... invest in lots of different kinds of stuff?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Ay, you've got the right idea.

Scrooge McDuck.png There are lots of ways to make money in Dreamlight Valley. A little bit of fishing here, a little bit of mining there...
Scrooge McDuck.png But the best investment is real estate. Keep clearing away Night Thorns and opening up more of Dreamlight Valley.
Scrooge McDuck.png And always be ready to go on an adventure to the far side of the Village. There are lots of precious gems you cannae find if you stick to the Meadow!
Got any business tips?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Looking for a bit of advice about managing your Star Coins?

→  Please! A penny for your thoughts!
Scrooge McDuck.png My thoughts are worth a lot more than a penny, you know.
Scrooge McDuck.png But we all need to start somewhere. A penny's better than nothing.
→  I could always use a little advice.
Scrooge McDuck.png That's the right attitude!
Scrooge McDuck.png Don't ever go discounting the value of a little advice... or a little bit of money.
→  I probably already know what you're about to tell me...
Scrooge McDuck.png

Hey! You can never go wrong listening to some honest advice.

player
  • sigh* Okay, okay, fine. What's your advice?
Scrooge McDuck.png Listen up. Who knows? Maybe you'll even find a bit of wisdom in it.
Scrooge McDuck.png And a little bit of wisdom's all you really need to strike it rich.
Scrooge McDuck.png In fact, that's just what my advice to ya is all about.
Scrooge McDuck.png Managing your money takes nothing more than shrewd investment. Start with something little and turn it into a lot.
Scrooge McDuck.png Something little like... a seed!
Scrooge McDuck.png In this Valley, crops are... well, a cash crop.
player

What sorts of plants should I grow?

Scrooge McDuck.png I've got just one word for you. Just one word.
Scrooge McDuck.png Are ya listenin'?
Scrooge McDuck.png Okra.
player

Okra?

Scrooge McDuck.png

There's a great future in Okra.

Something on your mind? [Archnemesis]
Scrooge McDuck.png

Player, do you have an archnemesis? Everyone should, you know. Keeps you sharp!

→  I don't like having enemies.
Scrooge McDuck.png Och, an archnemesis isn't so much like an enemy.
Scrooge McDuck.png They're more like a pesky acquaintance that you're always in competition with.
→  No, but I need to have one.
Scrooge McDuck.png Then I have some advice. Find someone who's just a wee bit better at one thing than you are but whom you're better than at most things.
Scrooge McDuck.png That way your winning percentage is high but not guaranteed. Otherwise, what's the fun in it?!
→  Of course I have one!
Scrooge McDuck.png Bless me bagpipes! You're a firecracker! I'll give you that.
Scrooge McDuck.png Well, I hope you find the challenge as rewarding as I do.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Perhaps someday I'll regale ya with tales of all the times I've defeated ol' Flintheart Glomgold.

Above conversation tree (i.e. "Archnemesis") can also be prompted from "Something troubling you?".

Something on your mind? [Standing Out]
Scrooge McDuck.png

Y'know, Player, there's one secret to really standing out among your competitors. It's what sets my shop apart.

→  Variety?
Scrooge McDuck.png

That's exactly right. You're getting to have quite an instinct for business yourself, Player.

→  High-quality products?
Scrooge McDuck.png

No. Well, yes. My products are all high quality. But it's more than that.

→  Ridiculously high prices?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Huh?! For products as high quality as the ones I offer, my prices are a bargain.

player

Okay, okay, sorry. So if it's not that, what's your secret?

Scrooge McDuck.png My secret is variety.
Scrooge McDuck.png I always keep my customers guessing with many different fine products. You never know what you're going to get when you step into Scrooge McDuck's Store.
Scrooge McDuck.png You oughta be sure to visit every day so you don't miss anything.
The Village is perfect, don't you think?
Scrooge McDuck.png

You know what this Village needs? A money bin so I can go for a swim.

→  We can't afford that.
Scrooge McDuck.png Not yet, perhaps. But a few savvy business decisions and a daring adventure or two, and you'll see.
Scrooge McDuck.png It's how I've made one fortune, and how I'll make another!
→  You can't swim in money.
Scrooge McDuck.png Not with that attitude you can't!
Scrooge McDuck.png I've spent many a year perfecting diving and backstroking through gold.
→  You could swim in the ocean.
Scrooge McDuck.png And get salt in my feathers?!
Scrooge McDuck.png Who do you think I am?! The world's second-richest duck?
What are you up to today? [Memories]
Scrooge McDuck.png I've been reminiscing about my time in the Yukon near Mooseneck Glacier.
Scrooge McDuck.png The valleys between those mountains... they were so... so...
→  ...pure and beautiful?
Scrooge McDuck.png

That it was, Player. That it was.

→  ...clean and untouched?
Scrooge McDuck.png

That it was, Player. That it was.

→  ...full of potential for profit?
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, there were plenty of ways to turn a profit.
Scrooge McDuck.png But I appreciated them for more than just that.
Scrooge McDuck.png No fancy meal has tasted half as fine as the beans I cooked on my own campfire under the Klondike stars.
Scrooge McDuck.png Before stock options and crop futures and compound interest, my tools were my gold pan, my pick, and my shovel.
Scrooge McDuck.png With those, I worked the icy creeks and frozen tundra...
Scrooge McDuck.png ...and earned every cent with my own two hands.
→  Sounds amazing!
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, that it was.

→  Sounds like a lot of work.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, it was, but it was noble work.

Scrooge McDuck.png Sometimes I think more than gold or assets in banks or properties around the world...
Scrooge McDuck.png ...I'm richest in memories.
What's it like being the richest duck in the world?
Scrooge McDuck.png Well, bein' the richest duck in the world isn't all fun and games, ya know. I have to think about security around the clock!
Scrooge McDuck.png I've got to protect my treasures from ne'er-do-wells!
→  Can I help?
Scrooge McDuck.png Are you sayin' you'd volunteer out of the goodness of your heart? With no compensation at all?
Scrooge McDuck.png You're hired! I could always use an extra set of eyes.
→  Has anyone ever stolen from you?
Scrooge McDuck.png Have they?! Have you ever heard of the Beagle Boys?
Scrooge McDuck.png Those rapscallions are always trying to get their plundering paws on me gold!
Scrooge McDuck.png Burns me blisters just thinkin' about it!
→  I'll keep an eye on that!
Scrooge McDuck.png So you know what ne'er-do-wells look like, do ya?
Scrooge McDuck.png Makes me wonder what kind of company you keep...

Above conversation tree can also be prompted from "What's it like being wealthy?".

What's on your mind?
Scrooge McDuck.png

I overheard someone call me a hot-tempered hoarder the other day. But I say I'm just thrifty. What do YOU think?

→  Hmm. Definitely frugal. And wise.
Scrooge McDuck.png Exactly! Finally someone's talkin' sense around here!
Scrooge McDuck.png I knew you were wise as a whip when I met you.
→  You could loosen your purse strings a little.
Scrooge McDuck.png Loosen them? Dinnae be daft!
Scrooge McDuck.png I could lose some of my favorite gold. Each piece is like a cherished member of me family. *sigh* Well...
→  I'd rather not answer.
Scrooge McDuck.png Avoiding the question, eh?
Scrooge McDuck.png Are you suggestin' I cannae handle constructive criticism? *sigh* Well...
Scrooge McDuck.png

I'm glad we had this little talk, Player. It's always good to have insight on yourself from your friends.

What's your success story?
Scrooge McDuck.png

I'm Scrooge McDuck! I made my fortune being tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties.

→  How tough were the toughies?
Scrooge McDuck.png Oh, they were the toughest. Yukon miners and Beagle Boy bandits!
Scrooge McDuck.png But I out-hiked, out-swam, and out-explored them all!
→  How smart were the smarties?
Scrooge McDuck.png Oh, they were the smartest. Cunning foxes and ruthless entrepreneurs.
Scrooge McDuck.png But I outfoxed the foxes and out-ruthed the ruthless.
Scrooge McDuck.png Is "out-ruthed" a word? Well, if it is, I did it!
→  Never heard of you?
Scrooge McDuck.png No? Well then, can you show me to the rock you've been living under?
Scrooge McDuck.png I've made many a fortune exploring places remote and rarely traveled.
You must be really good with money.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, and let me give you some financial advice. It'll protect you from the multitude of moochers!

→  Please! I need it.
Scrooge McDuck.png Invest in being tough! If someone drives a hard bargain...
Scrooge McDuck.png Drive a HARDER bargain!
Scrooge McDuck.png You've got to be tougher than the toughies and smarter than the smarties.
→  I care more about friendship than money.
Scrooge McDuck.png Oh aye, the intangibles like friendship, love, adventure, and family are all vital...
Scrooge McDuck.png But there's no shop that takes "adventure" as payment!
→  Moochers don't bother me. You can't take it with you.
Scrooge McDuck.png If you dinnae mind moochers, then they willnae mind you!
Scrooge McDuck.png Soon enough, you won't have a Star Coin to your name.
You must have a lot of stories to tell.
Scrooge McDuck.png

Have I ever told you about any of my great adventures, Player? Searching a Scottish castle? Hunting for gold in the Klondike?

→  What were you searching for in those castles?
Scrooge McDuck.png I was searching for a family treasure hidden in the McDuck family's ancestral castle in Scotland.
Scrooge McDuck.png The treasure had been lost for years, but I found it with an X-ray machine! There was also a meddling ghost, but Donald and I got the better of him!
→  Did you find a lot of gold in the Klondike?
Scrooge McDuck.png That I did! I found a golden rock the size of a goose egg. It was the start of my fortune!
Scrooge McDuck.png I used it to buy land in Duckburg. And the rest, as they say, is history.
→  Tell me something different.
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, I'll tell you the story of how I earned my first dime!
Scrooge McDuck.png I was a young lad in Glasgow, earning my way shining shoes. My very first customer was a ditch digger with an inch of mud on his boots!
Scrooge McDuck.png I scrubbed with all the strength in my small body and left his boots spotless.
Scrooge McDuck.png But he paid me with an American dime, which was useless in Glasgow! The cheat!
Scrooge McDuck.png

I vowed then to always be honest in my dealings and earn my money square.

You're a businessman, right, Scrooge?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye. Specifically, I consider myself an adventure-capitalist. I made much of my fortune searching for treasure, and investing it wisely.

Scrooge McDuck.png

Do you have some questions about money? I'd be happy to answer 'em for you.

→  How did you get so rich?
Scrooge McDuck.png By being smarter than the smarties and tougher than the toughies! I'm not like some folks, born to riches.
Scrooge McDuck.png I was born to a poor family in Scotland and earned every dime I've got!
→  Why do you care so much about money?
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, that's a fair question. And I'll answer it true. I was born to a poor family in Scotland. I know what it means to not have what you need.
Scrooge McDuck.png So, I know the real value of money.
→  How do I make as much money as you?
Scrooge McDuck.png Well, you have to work hard and be clever and stubborn, too. And it doesn't hurt to be lucky. But most importantly, you have to treat folks fairly.
Scrooge McDuck.png Not like some who got where they are by cheating, and taking advantage of folks. And the more money they have, the more they cheat.
→  How do we stop them?
Scrooge McDuck.png Ooh, that's a hard question. Money's a powerful thing. You've got to have rules about how money can be spent, and how workers can be treated.
Scrooge McDuck.png But those that get rich by cheating will spend to keep cheating. So you've always gotta keep your eyes open.
→  Why aren't you like that?
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, well... I've done some things I'm not proud of. But I like to think I've learned my lesson.
Scrooge McDuck.png I suppose it's my family, and the good folks I've worked with. I wouldn't want to do anything to change how they see me.
→  Cheating sounds fun.
Scrooge McDuck.png

What?! Cheaters are nothing but no-good, spineless, rotten apples! Trust me: Nothing worthwhile ever comes from cheating.

You seem restless.
Scrooge McDuck.png Player, I've never been able to stay idle for long. If I'm not on one adventure, I'm planning the next one.
Scrooge McDuck.png Do you like going on adventures?
→  I'd rather just stay home.
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, I do like staying close to me money as well.
Scrooge McDuck.png But it's important to take a chance every now and then. Life can change on a dime, you know!
→  Yes! I love new places and trying new things!
Scrooge McDuck.png That's what I like to hear! You cannae expect everything to come to you...
Scrooge McDuck.png Sometimes you have to go out and grab life by the tailfeathers!
→  I wish I could. It's my dream!
Scrooge McDuck.png

Well, imagination can take you on some of the wildest adventures of all! So be sure to keep dreamin'!

Scrooge McDuck.png Make every moment count, I always say.
Scrooge McDuck.png Speaking of count, it's time to count me money so I can plan that excursion I mentioned. Hee-hee!
Any ideas on improving the Village?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, you know what this Village needs? More trap doors to take care of would-be burglars!

→  That seems excessive...
Scrooge McDuck.png You cannae be too careful in this life, Player! Or too trusting!
Scrooge McDuck.png When ya have somethin' worth havin', ya have somethin' worth stealin'.
→  How many do you think we need?
Scrooge McDuck.png Good question! You've got to be strategic, of course.
Scrooge McDuck.png Put them anywhere you keep your precious goods. In fact, I'd like a couple around the shop.
→  Couldn't that hurt someone?
Scrooge McDuck.png Not at all! My trap doors come with crash padding.
Scrooge McDuck.png They just make burglars think twice about crossing me! Er... you.
What are you up to today? [Treasure Hunt]
Scrooge McDuck.png Ah, Player, I'm feelin' a bit of wanderlust today. Perhaps I need a little adventure.
Scrooge McDuck.png Have you ever been on a grand treasure hunt?
→  Yes, of course!
Scrooge McDuck.png

An expert! Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one. Tell me then, where's your favorite place to find treasure?

→  Not yet...
Scrooge McDuck.png

Ah, then we must go! Tell me, where would you like to visit?

→  Under the sea.
Scrooge McDuck.png An excellent choice!
Scrooge McDuck.png I've heard tales of Ariel's collection of rare artifacts. Though, I haven't had the chance to see it myself.
Scrooge McDuck.png I'll start making plans to visit. Just as a spectator, I assure you.
→  Ancient ruins.
Scrooge McDuck.png Oh aye, plenty of curiosities can be found in our past.
Scrooge McDuck.png One day, we'll discover more ancient ruins here.
Scrooge McDuck.png I just KNOW this Valley hasn't given up all its secrets yet!
→  I just want to explore, like you!
Scrooge McDuck.png An adventurer after me own heart!
Scrooge McDuck.png When we're done exploring the Valley together, perhaps we'll find even more spots that aren't on any map.
Good day, Mr. McDuck!
Scrooge McDuck.png

And good day to you, Player! The Village is looking grand. You know, you remind me of a young me building me fortune in Duckburg...

player

Thanks!

→  I hope to be as rich as you someday!
Scrooge McDuck.png That's quite a goal. You'll have to add up a lot of zeroes.
Scrooge McDuck.png But it's good to aim high!
→  I just want to feel comfy.
Scrooge McDuck.png Then you should drop by my shop. I've got just what you need.
Scrooge McDuck.png I can help you prop up every foot and put a pillow behind every back!
→  I'm making it welcoming for friends.
Scrooge McDuck.png Do you need welcome mats? I can help with that.
Scrooge McDuck.png I'll make sure no one ever wipes off their shoes without thinking of you again!
What's your most prized possession?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Well, besides my family, it's my Number One Dime.

player

Let me guess, your Number One Dime...

→  ...brings you luck.
Scrooge McDuck.png I call it my Number One Dime because it's the first bit of money I ever earned.
Scrooge McDuck.png When it comes to me fortune, there's no luck about it. I've worked hard for my money... especially that first coin.
→  ...is the first dime you ever made.
Scrooge McDuck.png That's right! Well done... though it is right there in the name. My Number One Dime.
Scrooge McDuck.png I was working as a shoeshiner in Glasgow when I earned it. And that inspired me to build my fortune across the sea.
Scrooge McDuck.png But that's a story for another day.
→  ...is your true love.
Scrooge McDuck.png No, no. That's romantic but not it.
Scrooge McDuck.png My Number One Dime is the first coin I ever earned... I mean, it's right there in the name.
Scrooge McDuck.png Nothing will bring more satisfaction than money well earned and well saved.
Scrooge McDuck.png So maybe, in a way, you were right after all.
Do you have a question for me?
Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, this Village is quite comfy. Tell me, Player, do you prefer to relax at home or to go out lookin' for trouble and treasure?

→  I'd like to find some treasure.
Scrooge McDuck.png That's what I like to hear! You may find a wee bit of change in your couch...
Scrooge McDuck.png But if you want to find gold, you might just need to make a change in your life!
→  Relaxing sounds like a great idea!
Scrooge McDuck.png It's true that relaxing is a noble pursuit.
Scrooge McDuck.png The best thing money can buy you is time to do what you want!
→  I just like trouble!
Scrooge McDuck.png Ha! You remind me of my grandnephews!
Scrooge McDuck.png Those three have something you don't though. Each other to blame things on!

Gaston.png

McDuck, my good man, are you still the richest guy here?

Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, that I am.

With Remy
Scrooge McDuck.png

Remy, lad, there's all kinds of hidden treasures in the kitchen..

Remy.png

Absolutely! Did you know salt used to be called white gold because it was so valuable?

Scrooge McDuck.png

In fact, "sal" is Latin for "salt," which is how we get the word "salary"!

Remy.png

Fascinating. I love trivia about seasoning. Let's discuss basil next!

With Vanellope
Vanellope.png

Hey, Mr. McDuck. Care to donate a coin so I can play my video game?

Scrooge McDuck.png I'm sorry lass, but I cannae just be giving me money away!

Quests

With Ursula (Menu Icon Quests.png What's Bad for the Business)

You! I have proof of your fishy business practices. And they stink!

What's the matter, Scroogie? Afraid of a little competition?

Scrooge McDuck.png

Never! And trust me, I'll find a way to put an end to your dastardly dealings! You can count on it!

Ursula.png But how? When you'll be so busy searching for these...
Ursula.png Shiny, isn't it? Look closely.
Ursula.png It just washed up onshore. I suppose it must come from a vast treasure of some sort, don't you?
Scrooge McDuck.png Curse me kilts! A gold coin... One lonely gold coin.
Scrooge McDuck.png And where there's one, there's usually many more...
Scrooge McDuck.png Never mind what I came here for; I need to go!

Ha-ha-ha! So predictable.

Mr. McDuck?

Ah, Mirabel, lass. I hope you're not gonna invite me on another walk with Donald.

Mirabel.png Well... not exactly. I wanted to give you this.
Mirabel.png It makes me sad to see you and Donald angry at each other.
Mirabel.png Family is so important.
Mirabel.png Maybe this is something you and Donald can share to remind you of that.
Scrooge McDuck.png Aye, that's a fine photo of the two of us, isn't it?
Scrooge McDuck.png Aw, I suppose I cannae be mad at Donald forever.

With Merida (Menu Icon Quests.png Mythic Restoration)
Merida.png

Mr. McDuck, I'd love to hear your opinion. What do you think of these new statues?

Scrooge McDuck.png

They're pleasant enough. But if they'd had a more appealing model, I'd be happy to stock 'em in my shop!

Merida.png

Wasn't there a god who threw lightning bolts? I think the Lorekeeper told me about him.

Scrooge McDuck.png

Aye, lass. That'd be Zeus! He'd make a much more regal figure.

Merida.png

Shame this one doesn't have real lightning. That'd make it heaps more exciting!

Scrooge McDuck.png

Hmm, wasn't there a lightning machine not too far from the Lorekeeper?

With Hades (Menu Icon Quests.png Yes, Your Lugubriousness)

Hades... it smells like cinders in here.

You've been... getting a bit of a reputation.

Hades.png

It was Mother Gothel! Do you know how INFURIATING she can be?

Scrooge McDuck.png

If you cannae handle customer service, then you dinnae belong in my shop.
