Gwen's age
wow nothing in discussion. I was wondering if anyone has found an Age for Gwen. In pre she looks about ten, so in GW:EN she would be 18. (I am guessing) Anyone know? ~the rat~

A Guide to meeting Gwen for the first time... and getting the Tapestry Shred
Meeting Gwen as a small girl in Pre-Searing Ascalon for the first time:

BUG: If you party up with another player who has already met Gwen and giver her the flute and cape, these quests will not work properly even if you go out solo and see her she will already have a flute and cape. (Or this may possibly be deliberate to make the Tapestry Shred rare, and/or to preserve continuity within the game.)

The first time you exit the main arch of Ascalon City, Gwen will be behind the reserection shrine to the left skipping, whirling and playing. She will have a quest indicator over her head. Click her for the quest.

GWEN: "I left my flute by the river, but there are lots of scary monsters there now. I don't know what to do. Can you maybe go and kill them and bring my flute back?"

Options: Sure, I can do that. No, I don't have time.

Select "Sure, I can do that" to accept the quest. The quest log will not be updated with the location of the flute.

GWEN: "Thank you! I can't wait! I know you'll find it." Travel south to the river, and the "broken Flute" quest item will be on the far shore to the left a bit. Pick up the flute and the quest log will update to show: "You currently have Gwen's flute."

Return to Gwen and give her the flute.

GWEN: "Thanks for finding my flute. Oh no! It's broken! Now I'm going to have to get a new one. Can I follow you?"

Options: Yes, you may follow me, Gwen. No, not right now.

Select "Yes, you may follow me, Gwen". GWEN: "I think I'm going to follow you." She will begin to follow you where ever you go, as long as you don't enter a town or the catacombs.

As Gwen follows you she has the ability to heal you durring combat for +20hp, but not untill after you get her a new flute from the merchent. Buy a flute from the merchent for 4 gp. and give it to gwen.

GWEN: Can I have that shiny new flute? Its so beautiful. I bet it plays pretty music."

Otpions: Enjoy it. I'm keeping it.

Select "Enjoy it" and Gwen takes the flute and begins to play after she says: "I can't wait to try it."

Gwen will then stand in one place playing her flute even if you move away. Select her again, and she will say "Ok, I'll wait here." and stops playing the flute. She will then have another quest marker over her head. If you select it, she says:

GWEN: "Ok, I think I'll follow you" and resumes her normal skipping and whirling. Now that she has the flute and is following you, she will heal you for +20hp durring combat from time to time. As she follows you she has a wide variety of comments she makes. One will reference a girls cape. Buying a small girls cape from the merchent will cause a new qwest marker to appear over her head.

GWEN: "Ohh!, You got a cape! Where did you find it? Can I have it please?"

Options: Sure. It will look nice on you. No. Its mine.

Select "Sure. It will look nice on you." and she will then be wearing the cape, now and each time this (your) character sees her again untill the Searing.

GWEN: "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Look how pretty it is!" Qwen will continue to follow you.

As you travel, if you find a "red Iris Flower", give it to gwen.

Options: Give flower to Gwen. Keep the flower for yourself.

Select "Give the flower to Gwen." She will reply " This flower matches my other flowers perfectly. A quest marker will apear over her head.

Gwen: "You're my favorite person, after mommy. I think I'll give you my most favorite thing in the whole world." Gwen will give you the Quest item Tapestry Shard which will have no purpose in Profiecies, but will unlock an extra quest later in the GW:EN Eye of the North expansion module.

If you can not afford to give her the small girls cape, then she will offer the tapestry shard after you give her as few as 4 but usually more flowers.
