I'm just surprised they didn't name the NPC looking for the cowbell, "Bruce Dickenson". Yes, The Bruce Dickenson.

The "Cold One" quest in Sorrow's Furnace still wins. This is a close second, though.

Sine I'm a bit tipsy and can't figure out why the image is at so low rez, I'll reproduce what it says here.

Quest: More Cowbell

Description: "You look somewhat heroic...perhaps you can help me? I met this nice fellow in Cantha named Banshang. He sold me a blessed cowbell that wards off the plague when you use it! Handy, no? I thought so too. Well when i was coming back from Cnatha by way of the coast, a group of kappa jumped me from out of nowhere. I'm no Warrior, I admit fear overtook me, and as I fled, I dropped my prcious cowbell in a bed of blue oysters under the shadow of Mount Qinkai. What will I do if the plague returns? Without my cowbell I have no way to protect myself?"

Sounds like this guy has a fever and the only perscription is...

As BOC (along with Rush) are among my favourite groups it's good to finally understand the cowbell phenomenon. Yay internet.

.. loving the quest so far.

Trying to figure out the Mount Qinkai part.

Does it actually refer to anything SNL-related?

My only guess is that it's from another skit featuring Farell as the college professor--where he talks about his "lovah."

I remember Walken starred in one of those skits as well.

before this quest is done you'll all be wearing gold plated diapers. By far one of the greatest skits.
