You have begun your side-quest to track down Dark Quantum and save Prince Tart. Unfortunately, you have stumbled upon a gruesome sight. There appears to have been a fight and one side won. King Pop must have challenged Dark Quantum, and the outcome was Pop's death. His royal scepter has been driven through his back, and his strawberry filling is starting to ooze out. The royal crown is resting on the scepter, and there appears to be a note attached.
