There is a rhyme I discovered on my travels...
“In the Toughwood very dark,
You will find the hatred heart.
Wear a charm of Hyalite,
And in a storm you’ll find your fight.
Thrust the blade of dark so deep
And love and hope the land shall keep.”
Soooo, it seems that you need this Hyalite to forge into a charm. It’s a good thing you have me, eh?
I took the liberty of using that weird ore I once told you I’d found and getting a smithy to forge the charm for you. They said it was the hardest metal they had ever worked with. It will cost you a hug. Just kidding. It’s yours.
Take it and your sword and go free this land of hatred. And you better beat it. I don’t want to be crying over your lazybones.”

THE JABBERWOCK
We see a great future for you. Never before have we felt such a force of nature. 


- The Grandmasters have now given you the mould that you need to forge the Vorpal Weapon
We now sleep, content in our tombs, knowing the land has a guardian. 
- You've forged the charm using your siblings recipe and the wrym
- All thats left to do is defeat the Jabberwock


When it is stormy (you can use the Lightning Rod) and night (midnight to 6), enter Toughwood. Charm must be equipped.
Whatever you choose to do next is up to you.
Got to the final room.
Tie up loose ends, chase untold wealth, or bask in adoration.   
We cutscene and bring in fog, then remove it and play a Jabberwock roar.
Cutscene goes and game on!
Kill it (only Vorpal Sword damages it) and it collapses and dissolves away.
We fade to black and fade in cutscene, player walking out of Toughwood.
Sibling is there with a big crowd of random villagers.
Sibling: “My hero! You did it! You slew the creature of hate, and now there is no more hatred in the land. You are a true legend, and I am so proud of you right now.
Teamwork makes the dream work though, so I hope I get my name mentioned in the history books for my part.
Oh, glorious day! Go see those Grandmasters forthwith! Hurray!”


CROWD CHEERS
Rest well, Legend. 
Take this prize: the **[[Hammer of the Ancients]]** — it will improve your smithing skills. 
Perhaps, one day, you’ll be as good as me.

Type: Final Boss Battle / Story Conclusion

Location: Toughwood

Reward: Hammer of the Ancients

Enemy: Jabberwock

Step 1: Return to Your Sibling

Sibling: You got the sword! You are indeed an absolute legend! My own sibling, raised in a shoe but kicking arse.

Now your biggest challenge awaits. Do you think you have what it takes to kill that foul creature?

Well, I suppose you don’t even know where it hides and seethes its poison? I have got you covered.

There is a rhyme I discovered on my travels...

“In the Toughwood very dark, You will find the hatred heart. Wear a charm of Hyalite, And in a storm you’ll find your fight. Thrust the blade of dark so deep And love and hope the land shall keep.”

Sooo, it seems that you need this Hyalite forged into a charm. Good thing you have me, eh?

I got a smith to forge the charm for you using that weird ore I found. Hardest metal they ever worked with. It’ll cost you a hug. Just kidding. It’s yours.

Take it and your sword and go free this land of hatred. You better beat it. I don’t want to be crying over your lazybones.
