## Quest Translation: [D&D Quest Name]

I've analyzed your D&D quest. Here's the CRPG engine translation:

### D&D → CRPG Mapping

| D&D Element | CRPG Equivalent | Notes |
|-------------|-----------------|-------|
| Quest Name | `id`: [generated_id] | Converted to snake_case |
| Quest Giver | `quest_giver_id`: [npc_id] | NPC must be created via character-creator |
| Reward: X gp | `gold`: [X] | Direct conversion |
| Reward: X XP | `xp`: [X * 10] | D&D XP × 10 for CRPG scale |
| DC X check | `dc`: [X * 5] | D&D DC × 5 for CRPG 1-100 scale |

### D&D Objective Type Mapping

| D&D Objective | CRPG Type | Example |
|---------------|-----------|---------|
| Speak to NPC | `talk_to_npc` | "Ask Harbin about the job" |
| Go to location | `reach_location` | "Travel to Umbrage Hill" |
| Find/collect item(s) | `collect_items` | "Recover the stolen supplies" |
| Kill X creatures | `kill_enemies` | "Defeat the orcs at Wyvern Tor" |
| Escort NPC | `escort_npc` | "Escort the caravan to Phandalin" |
| Investigate | `discover_secret` | "Search for clues in the mine" |
| Survive X rounds | `defend_location` | "Hold the bridge for 3 rounds" |
| Make a skill check | `skill_check` | "Persuade the guard (DC 15)" |
| Complete encounter | `custom` | Complex multi-step objectives |

### Dragons of Icespire Peak Quest Examples

| D&D Quest | CRPG Quest ID | Type | Key Objectives |
|-----------|---------------|------|----------------|
| Dwarven Excavation | `quest_dwarven_excavation` | side_quest | reach_location, talk_to_npc, kill_enemies |
| Gnomengarde | `quest_gnomengarde` | side_quest | reach_location, talk_to_npc, collect_items |
| Umbrage Hill | `quest_umbrage_hill` | side_quest | reach_location, talk_to_npc, kill_enemies |
| Butterskull Ranch | `quest_butterskull_ranch` | side_quest | reach_location, kill_enemies, talk_to_npc |
| Loggers' Camp | `quest_loggers_camp` | side_quest | reach_location, talk_to_npc, custom |
| Mountain's Toe | `quest_mountains_toe` | side_quest | reach_location, kill_enemies, collect_items |
| Axeholm | `quest_axeholm` | main_quest | reach_location, kill_enemies, discover_secret |
| Woodland Manse | `quest_woodland_manse` | main_quest | reach_location, talk_to_npc, kill_enemies |
| Icespire Hold | `quest_icespire_hold` | main_quest | reach_location, kill_enemies (boss) |

### Dependencies to Create

The following dialogues MUST be created for this quest to work:

- [ ] **`dlg_[npc]_[quest]_start`** - Quest giver dialogue (includes Quest → Start node)
- [ ] **`dlg_[npc]_[quest]_complete`** - Quest completion dialogue (includes Quest → Complete node)

Use the `dialogue-designer` skill to create these dialogues.
**Remember:** Use individual Choice nodes, NOT a choices array!

game-ideator → narrative-architect → quest-designer → dialogue-designer
                                                    → encounter-designer
                                   ↓
                            campaign-creator (assembles all)

test-campaign-generator → test-campaign-scaffolder
(creates spec)            (creates all files)
