Randolph the Dream Walker

Randolph the Dream Walker is a quest in .

Journal
"I met an unusually stylish young woman in French Hill, who had a dark mystique about her. She asked me if I'd had seen her husband, going by the name Randolph Carter. "A slender long faced man..." was her words. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in case I run across him.

As if it were somehow foreordained, I met an elusive individual in the secluded dreamscape I visited last night, where he granted me his name: Randolph Carter, I recall the lady I met in French Hill, was looking for him. If I can find her perhaps I should tell her about this confounding experience."

Should the player guess incorrectly they will face additional sanity loss. When asked to deduce who he is, the mystery man will begin reciting a poem: Refraining from pageantry of the mundane

A boy shall wander into the path of prophecy

Nebulous is the truth of all things future and past

Dwelling beyond the serpent’s lair for none but him to see

Only the forbidden he shall thereafter seek

Lurking in the labyrinths so forgotten and forlorn

Plagued will be those upon whom he shall touch

Hailed by the oblivion which they will have forborne

Carried away to his phantasy on wings ethereal

A toilsome quest he shall embark upon so sedulously

Resplendence of his dreams however is not to remain

Thus the search for the Silver Key must begin duly

Exalted he will be in the deathless continuum, wild and free

Resigning from the world to embrace all that was and will ever be The first letter of each verse forms an acrostic which spells the name: "Randolph Carter" (the correct answer)

After waking up the player can find Sonia in The Old Eel Bar, Then the player can inform her that they met Randolph, she will ask for a description to confirm it is him. The correct answer to this question is the description featuring a wide chin and a bow tie.
