==Quest information==
===Objectives===
*Talk to the {{sic|Unlike the objective below, "the" is lowercase here}} Countess of Hakewood to travel to the settlement.
*Investigate the [[Ascalon Settlement]].
*Protect the [[Ascalonian Settler|survivors]] from the waves of [[undead]]. At least one must survive.
*Defeat the [[Candy Corn Tyrant]].
*See The {{sic|Unlike the objective above, "The" is capitalized here}} Countess of Hakewood for your reward.

===Reward===
*1,000 [[Experience]]
*200 [[Gold]]
*10 [[Trick-or-Treat Bag]]s
*''In addition, each player will receive a Trick-or-Treat Bag for each settler that survives after the tyrant is defeated. They are added directly to your inventory without notification.

==Walkthrough==
{{section-stub}}
{{see|Mad King's Influence}}
After being teleported to the Ascalon Settlement by the Countess of Hakewood, Mad King's Influence and [[Minion Apocalypse]] will immediately be applied to all [[party]] members. Minion Apocalypse, but not Mad King's Influence, will be applied to [[animal companion]]s, [[Ascalonian Settler]]s, and quest-related foes (except [[minion]]s).

Alternatively, the first objective can be ignored by not talking to the Countess of Hakewood and walking to the Ascalon Settlement (similar to [[Evil Residents]]) instead of being teleported there. This allows some of the restrictions of Mad King's Influence to be bypassed, since that effect is not applied to all party members until a party member approaches the Ascalon Settlement. Consider waiting until Mad King's Influence is applied before using any summoning stones, since allies summoned after the application of Mad King's Influence will not be affected by that effect. Alternatively, you can enter and exit [[Nebo Terrace]] after being teleported to temporarily remove Mad King's Influence and bypass its restrictions.

==NPCs==
===Allies===
[[Human]]s
*{{w}} 20 (20) [[Ascalonian Settler]] (10 of them)

===Foes===
[[Minion]]s (They are not [[spawn]]ed by [[skill]]s. They are [[Masterless minion|masterless]], since [[Verata's Gaze]] only needs to be used once instead of twice to take control of one of these minions if Verata's Gaze does not [[fail]] because of the caster having 0 [[Death Magic]]; however, they ''are not'' hostile to the quest-related foes. The minions spawned by [[Minion Apocalypse]] are hostile to the quest-related foes.)

==Dialogue==
=== Initial dialogue ===
;The Countess of Hakewood
:''"You know, the more I think about it the more I believe that we absolutely must find a harmonica for his majesty this year. It just won't be the same otherwise. Perhaps you missed something the last time you went. Since time is of the essence, I will arrange transportation this time around, so would you be a dear and take another look through that zombie-infested town to see if you can find a harmonica? Even if the instrument maker has become a zombie, I'm sure you'll be able to find one laying around there somewhere."''
{{offer dialog
| accept = Those zombies won't know what hit them! I mean they probably won't, since they don't have brains, but...oh you know what I mean!
| decline = I've put down my quota of zombie attacks, thanks.
| ask = Are you ready to go to the settlement?
| indent = ::
}}
:::{{yes}} ''"Let's go wrangle us some biohazards!"'' (Sent to the Ascalon Settlement.)
:::{{no|ingame}} ''"I don't think I can survive the horror."''

=== Intermediate dialogue ===
:'''Ascalonian Settler:''' ''"No! Don't come any closer! Nooooo!"''
:'''Zombie:''' ''"RRREEENNNNTTT!"''

:'''Ascalonian Settler:''' ''"Help! They're coming from the west!"''

:'''Ascalonian Settler:''' ''"There are too many!"''

:'''Candy Corn Tyrant:''' ''"TRIIIIIIICK OOOOOOOR TREEEEAAAAAT!!!!"''

=== Reward dialogue ===
;The Countess of Hakewood
:''"More zombies but no harmonica? How unfortunate. I'd better get to practicing my [[Emote|air guitar]]..."''
