Jeanne

Jeanne is a character and NPC encountered in Fear & Hunger. She is part of Buckman's party, sent to the Dungeons of Fear & Hunger to find out what had happened to it and to the man called Rudimer.

Lore
She is a knight and a member of the party headed by Lord Ludwig Buckman, comprised of Buckman, Ser Seymor, herself, and Ser Seril. The party was sent by the King of Rondon to investigate the Dungeons of Fear and Hunger due to boredom and to rescue the lost Captain Rudimer. When they found that Rudimer was no longer the man he was and that he was now the terrifying Crow Mauler, they were ambushed and scattered and tried to escape from his wrath. Jeanne found herself delving in too deep into the dungeons, eventually getting herself captured.

Location
She can be seen being dragged away by a Lord of the Flies, within the present version of Ma'habre in the downtown area in the north-east. If the player comes too late or talked with Buckman/Seymor first, she will be already dead inside a house near the Tower of Endless.

Choice
If one is doing Buckman's Party quest and decided to go ahead into the ancient city without talking to Buckman or Ser Seymor, they will come across Jeanne being dragged away by the smelly creature. They can choose to just sit and watch and let Jeanne die or interrupt the beast and save her.

Once saving her, inspect her to see that she is badly beaten, scarred, and her right arm having been cut off and dismembered. She is barely hanging onto life and without the player's help, she would have died. Delirious and confused at first, she comes back to her senses and remembers the events that happened that had gone horribly wrong and unexpectedly. Jeanne then asks the player for help to regroup with her companions in the basement area of the dungeons. They can refuse or accept, but refusing leads to her death as she is very badly injured - she will not survive if the player leaves the map without helping her.

Accepting will escort her back to the basement of the dungeons, and she will sit there and wait for her companions to reunite with them. She will thank the player and give them two Elixirs, one of mind and one of body, as a reward for saving her.

A player can escort Jeanne to Trortur as well: after ratting out Buckman (done by using "talk" in a fight with Trortur) you need to find Jeanne alive. After agreeing on escorting her back, the option will pop up. Upon escorting Jeanne to Trortur, he will give the player a vault key and a hint on how to access the vault itself. The vault contains 1 Chest, "Penance knights" book and a penance knight armor. Also, the dialogue options with Trortur will be changed.

Trivia

 * Jeanne's character and design is based on a female knight of the same name by a user in the Official Discord server named Fern. (Fern's Twitter and Twitch.)
 * The Jeanne in the game and the character by Fern have been noted to be noticeably different from each other. Fern's Jeanne was a Roleplay character in a now deleted section of the Discord server. Due to the channel being gone it is no longer possible to read up on Fern's iteration of the character.
