Axomir |
|
YOU: Greetings. May I be of assistance to you? |
|
-Axomir looks down into the loading bay, back at his schedule and then again down to the loading bay.- |
|
Axomir: What am I to do, if that shipment does not arrive in time, our schedule will be thrown off. |
Axomir: It is due to be shipped mid morning tomorrow. |
|
-Axomir begins muttering to himself.- |
|
Axomir: I could move the afternoon shipment from later on tomorrow into that spot, and perhaps switch these two. |
Axomir: Ah, but it is no use. |
|
-Axomir looks up to you.- |
|
Axomir: I do have something for you to do. |
Axomir: You have proved to me that you can be trusted. |
Axomir: I need to find the missing shipment. |
Axomir: I must know what happened to it. |
Axomir: I have never lost a shipment yet and today is not going to be the day to change that. |
Axomir: Will you help me track down the shipment? |
|
YOU: Consider it done. |
|
-Axomir looks at his schedule.- |
|
Axomir: It seems to be a shipment from the Mikana Trading Company. |
Axomir: Please quickly seek out Phanejor Mikana: ask him if the shipment has arrived yet. |
Axomir: He knows of its importance. |
Axomir: Go quickly; we must not hold up the winch. |

Phanejor Mikana |
|
YOU: It seems that a shipment from your company has gone missing. Have you heard anything of its whereabouts? |
|
Phanejor: The shipment was sent by my brother Jirosh a bit ago. |
Phanejor: It should have already been delivered to the winch. |
Phanejor: I am rather worried about it… |
Phanejor: ah, but perhaps it is just a miscommunication. |
Phanejor: Perhaps Jirosh needed to receive a shipment before he could fill this order. |
Phanejor: Perhaps he had to send it out late. |
Phanejor: There are so many possibilities, would you go and please check to see if the shipment has been sent? |
Phanejor: If he does not know which shipment it is you are speaking of, as we do much business here, tell him it is to take care of pests. |

Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: One of your shipments did not arrive on time. Do you know where it is? |
|
Jirosh: What is this about a shipment, do you realize how many shipments come in here on a daily basis? |
Jirosh: Could you be a bit more specific, or else i dont know how much help i shall be. |
|
YOU: Your brother told me the shipment contained items to remove pests. |
|
-Jirosh chuckles loudly.- |
|
Jirosh: Yes, I know the one you speak of, I sent that on time to Phanejor for express shipment through the winch. |
Jirosh: I can't imagine what could have befallen the caravan on its way to Hydlaa. |
Jirosh: The roads though, are riddled with rogues, I can not begin to imagine what would happen if they came across this shipment. |
|
-Jirosh begins to chuckle again.- |
|
Jirosh: Check with Edrich in Hydlaa, he was the one who carried this shipment in one of his regularly scheduled caravans. |
Jirosh: Which was lucky, as no one else would deliver the shipment due to its potential risks. |

Edrich Sultov |
|
YOU: Have you heard anything about one of your caravans being lost? |
|
Edrich: Yes, I just received word that one of my caravans has gone missing. |
Edrich: It was lucky, however, as the only shipment that was on it was one from the Mikana Trading Company that wasn't worth much in the way of value. |
Edrich: It seems rogues attacked and stole the shipment. |
Edrich: Boy would I have loved to have seen their faces when they saw what they got! |
Edrich: Alas, I need to let Jirosh know what happened. |
Edrich: Here is a written statement of the events as told to me by my sources, I believe this will be worth having to refill that order. |
Edrich: I have a caravan coming through tomorrow, which by my calculations will still get the shipment to the winch in time. |
|
-Edrich chuckles and begins muttering to himself.- |
|
Edrich: To see the looks on their faces, ah to have been there in person… |

Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: I have a document for you from Edrich Sultov. |
|
-Jirosh opens the statement and stares in disbelief.- |
|
Jirosh: This is no joke. |
Jirosh: It was truly stolen? |
|
-Jirosh begins to read, as he reads his eyes become wide.- |
|
Jirosh: But how could this happen, and why, of all the caravans to rob, would they rob this one? |
|
-Jirosh continues to read, and begins to laugh, a little at first but continues until his eyes begin to water, he is laughing so hard.- |
|
-Jirosh manages to say a few words.- |
|
Jirosh: Begging your pardon, but it all seems rather funny to me. |
|
YOU: Would you read the note to me, please? I have become very curious. |
|
Jirosh: Ah dear YOU, I would love to share this news with you. |
Jirosh: I hope you find it as entertaining as I do. |
|
-Jirosh begins to read directly from the statement.- |
|
Jirosh: 'I had snuck off to relieve myself in a clump of shrubs when the rogues attacked. |
Jirosh: I watched from afar as the rogues descended on the caravan. |
Jirosh: Knowing as I did what cargo sat in those crates, I had no desire to go and save it. |
Jirosh: The rogues tied the pack animals and tethered them to the trees, they then bound the remainder of those traveling with the caravan together, before unloading the crates.' |
|
-Jirosh stifles a chuckle.- |
|
Jirosh: 'They emptied the crates into sacks; it was rather dark and they did not stop to read the labels, or I am rather sure they would have run screaming. |
Jirosh: Well, one of the rogues thought he should open one to see what it was they had come in possession of. |
Jirosh: That rogue took one whiff and dropped the bottle rather quickly as the stench quickly wafted through the open air, and it seemed in a matter of minutes that every ulbernaut on the dome level was traveling post haste to find its mate. |
Jirosh: The rogues scurried to leave and in the process broke a few more bottles: they were covered. |
Jirosh: I don't think that they will be trying anything anytime soon. |
Jirosh: Unfortunately, I did not go back to retrieve the wagon, nor did I go back to salvage what was left of the shipment as I got our crew and left before the ulbernauts came.' |
|
-Jirosh stops reading and looks at you with eyes full of tears.- |
|
YOU: I'm not getting the joke, it seems. |
|
Jirosh: You see, the shipment is bound for Poricet on the Far Ground, for they have been infested with a certain insect that is repelled only by ulbernaut pheromones. |
Jirosh: It is a repellent only made here on the Dome. |
Jirosh: Very potent stuff, not something you want to fool around with. |
Jirosh: If you spill just one drop, every ulbernaut within twenty kilometers will be at your door wanting to have children with you. |
Jirosh: Now think, if a drop can do that, what would spilling multiple bottles do? |
Jirosh: Please tell Axomir that the shipment will arrive tomorrow morning with time to spare for its trip to the winch. |

Axomir |
|
YOU: The shipment should arrive tomorrow in time to make its scheduled move. |
|
-Axomir looks at you.- |
|
Axomir: That is cutting it rather close. |
Axomir: I will have to prepare and make sure that everyone is aware that this will be a close one, and that all hands will need to be available for this move. |
Axomir: I want nothing to happen to that shipment in my care. |
Axomir: Oh heavens, imagine the problems that could occur if it spilled. |
|
-Axomir looks worried.- |
|
Axomir: Tomorrow will be a rather busy day. |
Axomir: Thank you for your help. |
Axomir: I am sure to need your help again in the future. |
Axomir: There is always work to be done here at the winch. |
Axomir: I just hope that the shipment arrives on time. |
|
-Axomir takes out a small sack and meticulously counts and places some coin into your hand.- |
|
Axomir: Thank you for your help. |
Axomir: Ah, and one more thing: as a Mover, the Azure way is rather important. |
Axomir: If you wish to become more involved with the moving of the winch, you must train your azure way skill. |
Axomir: This glyph should help you on your way. |
