Required: Canyt Needs a Stone Tablet Identified quest.
→ Go to Hiacheius Dilechi
YOU: Do you need help with something?
Hiacheius: Hrm...er...
Hiacheius Dilechi looks somewhat frazzled.
Hiacheius: Umm, I am somewhat b-b-busy here, hmm.
Hiacheius: Let me think, hmm...
Hiacheius: Well, I do not know.
Hiacheius Dilechi bangs his head with his hand.
Hiacheius: Think old man...
Hiacheius: Think!
Hiacheius: Hmm, grr, there must be something I w-w-wanted...
Hiacheius: By the g-gods!
Hiacheius: I know what it was.
Hiacheius: I am suppose to maintain the water wheel here.
Hiacheius: But on my latest travels through the Dome I have misplaced it.
Hiacheius: I never lose anything..so..did not think to look for it until recently.
Hiacheius: It is my book with all my diagrams and notes on the wheel system.
Hiacheius: I need it!
YOU: Sounds good, I'll start right away.
Hiacheius: Good, okay...
Hiacheius Dilechi pinches the bridge of his nose.
Hiacheius: Let me try and think where I went, then I'd like you to go and look.
Hiacheius: I recently came back from Hydlaa, a meeting with Harnquist.
Hiacheius Dilechi frowns and closes his eyes, trying to think harder.
Hiacheius: I must have lost it there.
Hiacheius: Please go and see if you can find it.
→ Go to Harnquist
YOU: Have you seen Hiacheius' maintenance book?
Harnquist: Umm...
Harnquist: Hiacheius, I hope he is well.
Harnquist: He was here a few days ago and we spent a lot of time talking about alloys.
Harnquist: I also don't know what it looks like so can't be sure but he was writing lots of notes in a dark blue bound book.
Harnquist: But I didn't see him drop anything while we were together.
Harnquist: We had dinner together, and spent some time in the library.
Harnquist: He spent the whole day in Hydlaa so could have dropped it anywhere and spoken to many people after we had finished.
Harnquist: I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
→ Go to Jayose
YOU: Do you remember a StoneHammer called Hiacheius? He lost a valuable book.
Jayose: A book?
Jayose: Someone came by yesterday asking if I would be interested in buying a note book which was seemingly filled with lots of important information about large machinery.
Jayose: But it didn't make sense to have it in my library.
Jayose: You should search him out if you want to find it.
→ Go to Arion Fildar
YOU: Do you remember a StoneHammer called Hiacheius? He lost a valuable book.
Arion: Oh...
Arion: Um...
Arion: I'm not sure I should say...
Arion: A certain dwarf came to talk to me and asked about selling a book he had come across.
Arion: That might be who you are looking for.
Arion: I shouldn't say who, sorry.
→ Go to Thorian Gronk
YOU: Did you recently offer to sell a book to Arion?
Thorian: What...
Thorian: Noooooo, no, of course not...
YOU: I was told you did, so where is it?
Thorian: Well, then maybe I did see what you were looking for.
Thorian: But I don't have it any more.
YOU: What did you do with it?
Thorian: I might have sold it, if I'd had it.
Thorian: And I might have sent it to Ojaveda if I had sold it...
Thorian: I have nothing else to say.
→ Go to Merrinez Dholant
YOU: Did Thorian send a book to you?
Merrinez: A book you say, no, I haven't gotten a new book in ages.
Merrinez: But you know what?
Merrinez: I'm sure there was one special one that came by in the last few days in some chest or something.
→ Go to Jirosh Mikana
YOU: Did Thorian send a book to you?
Jirosh: Thorian..
Jirosh: I don't think so.
Jirosh Mikana picks up a clipboard with filled delivery notes.
Jirosh: I don't see anything from the last week or two going to a Thorian or coming from a Thorian in the last few days.
Jirosh: It may have been earlier than that but I don't have time to look right now.
Jirosh: If it was sent through my Trading Company it would probably still be in Ojaveda somewhere or it would be listed on my outgoing shipment lists.
YOU: Merrinez said he remembered seeing a book sealed in a chest in a delivery.
Jirosh: He did?
Jirosh: Let me check again.
Jirosh Mikana looks over his lists again.
Jirosh: Well there was a chest marked as valuable which arrived some time yesterday.
Jirosh: Let me look quickly.
Jirosh Mikana walks off into the warehouse to look for the chest, returning a few minutes later.
YOU: Did you find it, what's happened to it?
Jirosh: I don't know actually.
Jirosh: It's not on any of the outgoing shipment lists, it definitely arrived here...
Jirosh: But there is no mention of it on the inventory and I can't see it in the warehouse.
Jirosh: Either someone lost it, or someone took it!
→ Go to Kisatol Gathoji
YOU: What do you know of a missing chest from Jirosh's warehouse?
Kisatol: ME?!?
Kisatol: Why are you just running directly to me asking if I TOOK the chest?
Kisatol: I'm not all bad...
Kisatol Gathoji smirks.
→ Go to Merrinez Dholant
YOU: It seems the chest has gone missing do you have any ideas where?
Merrinez: I'm sorry, but no.
Merrinez: I only saw it quickly while I was unpacking the delivery from Hydlaa.
Merrinez: It was placed with all the other items to be taHiacheius Lost a Valuable Book quest
YOU: Do you have any ideas as to where I could look, or who might have it?
Merrinez: Well I would suggest you talk to Jirosh, but it seems you already have.
Merrinez Dholant pauses and stretches his shoulders while yawning slightly.
Merrinez: You should have realised that this area isn't exactly filled with the most pleasant of characters.
Merrinez: So who knows who might have snuck in an open window and taken something?
Merrinez: I see people who might be up to something illegal every few days.
YOU: It's been suggested it was stolen, and you're a very likely suspect!
Kisatol: Oh please...
Kisatol: Why would I want to break into a warehouse and steal some silly little book?...
Kisatol: IF...
Kisatol: And I mean IF it was stolen it could have been someone else.
Kisatol: I know of others nearby that might have wanted it.
Kisatol: Go bug them.
→ Go to Enack Lerenal
YOU: Did Thorian send a book to you?
Enack: Thorian?
Enack: Why would he send me a book?
Enack: It's not like I spend a lot of time reading.
YOU: Well, the other suspect called you out.
Enack: Really now.
Enack: Any evidence?
Enack Lerenal raises a hand.
Enack: No.
Enack: Well then let me tell you that I saw Trasok with it, sat in Brado's talking to the one and only Brado about it.
Enack: So clearly I can't have it...
→ Go to Trasok Starhammer
YOU: Did Thorian send a book to you?
Trasok: Thorian, that underhanded merchant from Hydlaa!?
Trasok: I don't want anything to do with him, or anything he has to offer.
YOU: Enack said he saw you with the book.
Trasok: And you believe him...
Trasok: Don't be so gullible.
→ Go to Merrinez Dholant
YOU: I think Enack took the chest, but he won't tell me anything about it.
Merrinez: Enack, the Ynnwn?
Merrinez: I don't think I've seen a Ynnwn around here for a day or so.
Merrinez: Perhaps ask someone else.
→ Go to Bjorid Haakthir
YOU: Have you seen a Ynnwn sneaking about here carrying anything?
Bjorid Haakthir wrinkles his nose as he looks at you.
Bjorid: Actually I did, I was sure it was Enack.
Bjorid: He had a small fancy looking chest with him, no idea what was in it though.
→ Go to Enack Lerenal
YOU: So, seems I have a witness that you took the chest and book. Where are they?
Enack Lerenal droops his head.
Enack: I bought it, I took it, I sold it.
Enack: I heard whispers some Ylian was after books to do with giant machines, and magic and winches...or something.
Enack: When she heard about this book I went after it, and once I had it.
Enack: I sold it to her, she was hanging about in Amdeneir.
Enack: Good luck getting it back.
→ Go to Hioona Yelian
YOU: So, you know Enack?
Hioona Yelian just shrugs and looks away.
YOU: Well he knows you, I want the stolen book.
Hioona Yelian chuckles.
Hioona: I suppose you must mean a book filled with diagrams on some large mechanisms.
Hioona: I didn't waste any time reading it.
Hioona: I was hired some time ago to keep an 'eye out' for any book I or any of my associates came across on this topic.
Hioona: But I had no idea it was stolen..
Hioona: I must say I am quite appalled anyone would steal a book...
YOU: So you were hired to steal any book you could find?
Hioona Yelian shakes her head.
Hioona: No no no...
Hioona: Hired to procure any suitable books I come across.
Hioona: Enack sent word when he found the book.
Hioona Yelian smirks a little with that last comment.
Hioona: He arranged to get it on my employers behalf and sent it to me.
Hioona: I have sent it on already.
Hioona: So...
Hioona: What now?
YOU: Who did you send it to?
Hioona: It has been sent to Tarmeen Alecheech up at the eagle head fortress.
Hioona: I've been paid for doing what I was hired to do.
Hioona: So run off and do what you want now.
→ Go to Tarmeen Alecheech
YOU: Have you received a specially delivered blue, bound book?
Tarmeen: Actually yes I do have it.
Tarmeen: It arrived earlier today.
Tarmeen Alecheech turns and looks through some of the deliveries.
Tarmeen: Here it is.
Tarmeen: I was going to take it up to Hiacheius later today, but you can do that for me if you'd like.
YOU: Yeah I'll take it to him.
Tarmeen: Good, thank you.
Tarmeen: Here you are.
→ Go to Hiacheius Dilechi
YOU: I found out what happened to your book.
Hiacheius: Yo..ou did?
Hiacheius: Who too-ok it?
YOU: [You tell Hiacheius about the path you took to find the book.]
Hiacheius Dilechi begins to laugh as he realises what has happened.
Hiacheius: I b-bought my own b-book back?...
Hiacheius: Where is i-t?
YOU: I have it, here you are.
Hiacheius: Th-thank you.
Hiacheius: It is a shame you f-first came when you did.
Hiacheius: If you had not then I might have had my book back by now and you w-would n-not have had to do any..anything.
Hiacheius: I think I sh-ould be more careful with w..who I deal with.
