Aurphanage is a quest.
Story[]
Professor Maximilio has been talking to Riberich about the Alloyance. The Alloyance will allow Maximilio's research if we help look for a Strongboxer that has escaped the Aurphanage, an industrial complex where broken Strongboxers are kept. The name of the Strongboxer is Charado and we should be the one to try and lure it somehow, as it hides whenever it sees an Enutough. Pretending to drown in a pool of kamas as if it were quicksand seems a good idea.
Obtaining[]
- Talk to Professor Maximilio at [-1,-1] in Crucible of Fortunes.

After long negotiations, I got the Alloyance's authorisation to continue my research on Strongboxers. Without wanting to upset our new friend, I believe it was implied that his group saw this as an opportunity to carry out research without spending a single kama. I personally have no problem with that, provided they don't get in the way of my work. However, I did agree to do a little favour for the Alloyance to make our agreement official, and, as you may have guessed, I'm going to need your help.
A Strongboxer has escaped from what the Enutoughs call the Aurphanage, a disused industrial complex where old, abandoned and defective Strongboxers are stored until they can be repaired or reassigned. The fugitive is hiding from the Enutoughs, but Riberich thinks that strangers like us might be able to approach it without raising its suspicions.
The Strongboxer answers to the name of Charado. It's a unique model of Mimicasket created by an amateur sword fighter called Soul Jed. When Jed disappeared, taking his fortunes with him, Charado became inactive and was transferred to the Aurphanage, where it's escaped from now. There's more than meets the eye with this creature...Everyone's worried about the escape, but Riberich reckons that Charado is sensitive to the suffering of others, so it can't be all bad.
I want you to stand at the entrance to the Aurphanage and pretend that something terrible has happened. You could pretend you'd just been dumped by your soulmate...Nah, that's way too unrealistic, who'd go out with you in the first place? Hmm...we need something simpler. Riberich has told me of several instances of kamas acting like quicksand, slowly swallowing up adventurers whole. I believe we've already lost agents that way. Pretend that's happening to you. I'll trust you'll manage to do it realistically; you look like you're used to faking things. And as soon as Charado appears, you can sweet-talk it and lead it back to us.

Step 1: Capturing Charado[]
- Find the map: Entrance to the Aurphanage
- Located at [-2,-4] (in Enurado).
- Pretend to drown in the sea of kamas
- Defeat 1 Rokforphage in a single fight

(A funny looking Strongboxer stares at you hungrily. Unless you want to end up flung into the back corner of some vault like a common pouch, you're going to have to fight, and given this one's size, a little help wouldn't go amiss.)
|
- This fight can be done with a team, other characters update the quest at the same time after defeating Rokforphage. It has 11.000 hp but 0% resistances. It casts a spell called fireball that has an AoE affect, hitting all characters. Other than that, the damage is quite low so it should be relatively easy.

(The Strongboxer eyes you from its refuge amidst all the crystals and kamas.)
(The Strongboxer starts to soften and licks the piece of Kamanbair.)

You may be impulsive and easily frustrated, but I can't fault your efficiency. Charado is extremely sensitive and has caused too much damage to be reassigned a new job. We have no choice but to throw it in the skip. If only it had behaved better, we might have been able to place it with the other outdated Mimics, but unfortunately that's just not possible now. |
- Charado will stop following you.
- Talk to Charado

(Charado pulls its sad Bow Wow eyes on you and looks more pitiful than an Astrubian freezing half to death at the Frigost Zaap, clad only in a Prespic Set.)

The alliance between the Alloyance and the Dimensional Voyagers is too new for us to risk destabilising it, especially for something as insignificant as an artificial creature. I'm going to leave the affair in Riberich's hands. He can deal with it as he sees fit. |
- Talk to Riberich

|
You captured it, so I see no reason not to grant your request. Take Charado to the skip and get rid of it. I'll mark the spot on your map. Once the deed is done, come back to see me and you'll get your reward. |
- Charado will follow you.
Step 2: Finish the Quest[]
Story: We managed to capture Charado and bring him to Riberich. Unfortunately, they are planning to take him to the Skip, a place where they 'get rid' of Strongboxers that are unrepairable or cause too much damage, like Charado did. We find this quite sad so we ask if we can bring him to the Skip ourselves.
- Find the map: Skip
- Located at [-6,-1] (in Enurado).
- Talk to Charado
- You get the option of killing or saving the small Strongboxer here. If you choose the 1st option Charado will get destroyed, if you chose the second option we will let Charado get away. Either option will allow you to finish the quest.
- Talk to Riberich
