From the Flames of the Furnace
Required: 1 Copper Stock, 1 Tin Stock.
→ Go to Selisar Zeinifa
YOU: Do you have any work for me?
Selisar Zeinifa: Actually, I could use some help at the moment.
Selisar Zeinifa is about to continue, but a shift of his weight causes him to stagger and brings a grimace to his face.
Selisar Zeinifa: Stupid leg!
Selisar Zeinifa: It still isn't quite right.
-He shakes his head to clear it before turning back to you.-
Selisar Zeinifa: I'm not getting much work done lately, and while I'm still able to make enough tria to get by I'm in danger of losing my reputation and my contacts.
Selisar Zeinifa: If my customers go elsewhere I may never get them back!
Selisar Zeinifa: If you could help me fill these orders for metal stocks you can keep the payments you receive, and I can show you what I've learned about smelting ore and making alloys.
YOU: That sounds fair to me, I suppose.
Selisar Zeinifa: Good to hear.
Selisar Zeinifa: I send stocks instead of ore, as unprocessed ore is always heavier and more awkward to transport.
Selisar Zeinifa: If you can mine, smelt, and cast the ore you can keep the payment on delivery.
Selisar Zeinifa: I'll have regular orders to fill until my leg gets better, so keep checking in to see if there's more work to do.
YOU: What is it you need me to make, and who should I deliver it to?
Selisar Zeinifa: Got an odd order this time.
Selisar Zeinifa: Very odd.
Selisar Zeinifa scratches his head.
Selisar Zeinifa: Jardet Forsill of Hydlaa wants a copper stock and a tin stock delivered to someone named Amakeer in the Derghir village between Ojaveda and Hydlaa.
Selisar Zeinifa: Not even sure how to communicate with them, but I suppose it's worth a try.
→ Go to Amakeer
YOU: Are you Amakeer? Can you even understand me? Someone here has to take these stocks!
-The Derghir before you takes the proffered stocks hesitantly. Kra smells them both, then tapes them together. Finally kra bites a small corner off each stock.-
-The Derghir nods, and sways a bit more enthusiastically for a moment. Kra looks around for a moment before picking up a nearby flower and handing it to you.-
-The Derghir turns back to its village, apparently losing interest in you.-
→ Go to Jardet Forsill
YOU: I've delivered your order to the Derghir village, and Amakeer gave me this starphire to give to you in return.
Jardet Forsill: Ah, did kra?
Jardet Forsill: That's wonderful!
Jardet Forsill takes the flower and gives it a deep sniff.
Jardet Forsill: I've been hoping to build some kind of rapport with the Derghir, and what better way to make friends than with food?
Jardet Forsill: I've been hoping to build some kind of rapport with the Derghir, and what better way to make friends than with food?
Jardet Forsill: The fact that kra gave you a flower in return suggests that it was successful, at least to a degree.
Jardet Forsill opens his mouth to continue when a sudden thought causes him to frown.
Jardet Forsill: I suppose I'm just lucky that kra chose a flower.
Jardet Forsill: If he was looking for something our kind eat, he may well have just found the nearest rat, stomped on it, and given you the corpse to return as 'meat'.
Jardet Forsill: Perhaps I should send along a note next time.
Jardet Forsill: Well, that's for the future.
Jardet Forsill: Thank you for your help with this, good Klyros.
Jardet Forsill: Here's your pay, and a little something extra to replace the flower you brought me.
