Tilting At Windmills

Tilting At Windmills is the Wolphax welcome quest in The Long Journey Home.

Description
The Wolphax Knight Shirrack intercepts the player and asks for a duel. No matter, whether the player accepts or not, he will ask the player to teach his over-confident squire a lesson and defeat him in combat. Accepting the offer starts the quest.

Squire Mol is flying around in the same star system and has to be intercepted. He goes directly into battle and flees after the first shot. When intercepted again, Squire Mol realizes that his attempt to spare the player was fruitless and will fight till death. After destroying his ship the player has to collect the Squire Mol's escape pod and return him to his master.

The Wolphax Knight Shirrack automatically intercepts the player again and asks for his Squire. For returning the Squire Mol the player gets approximately 550-650.

If the player declines the quest, The Lost King topic will be added. It is possible to "forget" collecting the Squire Mol, but the Wolphax' reward is the same. Declining the return of the Squire Mol will immediately start a fight with the Wolphax Knight Shirrack and set the Wolphax respect to hostile. If the player just leaves the star system, without fighting Squire Mol, Wolphax Knight Shirrack will catch the player and reward him with approximately 250, since he at least tried to Squire Mol (Bug?).
