Dragon Quest XI S Script: Quest NPC Text
|
*: Oh, if it
isn't young <pc>! You came along at just the right time! I've got a
favour to ask, you see. |
|
*: The other
day I was playing with my lad—you know, messing around, as you do. Well, anyway,
he's got this flurry feather that he loves, and well...fool that I am, I
managed to let it blow away. |
|
*: Luckily,
the wind only blew it as far as the roof of your shed. I'd go and get it myself,
but I'm not too good with heights, I'm afraid... |
|
*: Anyway, I
know you're a brave young fellow, so I was wondering if you'd mind clambering
up there and getting it back for me. You'd be doing me a huge favour, I'm
telling you. |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Oh.
That's...unexpected. I mean, what is it the priest is always saying? ‘Be nice
to others!’ Maybe you should bear that in mind next time someone asks you to do
them a simple kindness... |
|
*: I knew
you'd help me out! You always paid attention to what the priest said in
church—you know, that stuff about always being kind to others. You're a fine
fellow, and no mistake! |
|
*: Now, there's
no time to lose! My son's desperate to get his beloved feather back—hurry on
over to your shed! |
|
*: I'm sure
you've climbed onto your fair share of roofs, but just find something to
clamber onto and press to jump up
there. |
|
*: Once you've
found that flurry feather, bring it back here and I'll see if I can't give
you a little something in return. Best of luck! |
|
*: Listen,
you've probably got plenty to keep you busy already, but you'd be doing me a massive
favour if you'd go up onto your shed roof and get my boy's feather back. |
|
*: I'm sure
you've climbed onto your fair share of roofs, but just find something to
clamber onto and press to jump up
there. |
|
*: Once you've
found that flurry feather, bring it back here and I'll see if I can't give
you a little something in return. Best of luck! |
|
*: There you
are, <pc>! And it looks like you've got the feather! Would you mind
letting me have it?<yesno> |
|
*: Hey, what are
you playing at!? Do I really have to remind you again about all that stuff
the priest is always saying about being kind to others? |
|
*: Thanks! I
knew you wouldn't let me down! I can't wait to see the look on my boy's face!
Oh, and before I forget, here's a little something in return... |
|
*: And that's
not all! I've got a tip for you I hope you'll find useful. If you ever want
to do someone a good turn, look for a purple speech bubble above their head. |
|
*: Listen to what
they have to say and see if you can do anything to help—it always pays to be
kind to others! |
|
*: But don't
feel that just because someone's shared their woes with you, you have to help
them right away. You can always come back when you want a little change of
pace, or if you're not sure what to do next. |
|
*: Anyway,
thanks again, <pc>. I really owe you one. Now, just remember—whatever's
waiting for you up ahead, be kind to others, and you'll do just fine! |
|
*: When I let my
boy's flurry feather get blown away, I thought he was going to disown me. You
really helped me out of a tight spot, <pc>! |
|
*: You'll
always be able to tell when someone needs a helping hand. They'll have a purple
speech bubble floating about their heads, just like I did. |
|
*: If you spot
any folks who look like they might need your help, make sure to have a word
with them—it always pays to do what you can for others. |
|
*: But don't feel
that just because someone's shared their woes with you, you have to help them
right away. You can always come back when you want a little change of pace,
or you aren't sure what to do next. |
|
*: Anyway,
thanks again, <pc>. I really owe you one. Now, just remember—whatever's
waiting for you up ahead, be kind to others, and you'll do just fine! |
|
*: I came all
the way to Heliodor with just one goal in mind—to catch a glimpse of two of the
greatest heroes in all of history: Sir Jasper and Sir Hendrik! |
|
*: The only
problem is that they won't let me into the castle. Can you believe it? Well,
if I'm not going to get to meet them in person, I suppose I'll have to bide
my time by reading up on them instead. |
|
*: You know,
if you wanted to earn my eternal gratitude, you could help me find a book
about the exploits of those two fabulous knights. |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Oh well, it
was worth a try. I had wanted to bone up on all their tales of derring-do,
but I know when to quit. I suppose I'll do some souvenir shopping and head
off home... |
|
*: Oh thank
you so much! I know there's a book about my two favourite knights just
sitting on a bookshelf somewhere! |
|
*: I've taken
a look around the west of the city, so maybe you should head east. If you see
any bookshelves with red books in them, take a closer look—apparently,
they're the ones worth reading. |
|
*: If you do
manage to find a book about Jasper and Hendrik, make sure to come back and
tell me all about it, won't you? Good luck! |
|
It's a book
entitled ‘The Soldier and the Strategist – A Tale of Two Heroes’. |
|
It appears to be
all about Heliodor's two most noble and knightly heroes. |
|
*: I've come
all the way to Heliodor, so I'm not going to go home without at least
learning a little more about my heroes, Sir Hendrik and Sir Jasper. |
|
*: I just know
there's a book all about them both sitting on a bookshelf somewhere in the
city—there must be! |
|
*: I've taken
a look around the west of the city, so maybe you should head east. If you see
any bookshelves with red books in them, take a closer look—apparently, they're
the ones worth reading. |
|
*: If you do
manage to find a book about everyone's favourite knights, make sure to come
back and tell me all about it, won't you? Good luck! |
|
It's a book
entitled ‘The Soldier and the Strategist – A Tale of Two Heroes’. |
|
‘No matter how
ferocious an assault the monsters may launch against Heliodor, this great
kingdom shall not fall, for two heroic figures will stand in the path of any
attacker. |
|
‘The first is Sir
Hendrik, a warrior without equal. Countless times has he ridden his colossal
black steed Obsidian fearlessly into the heart of an oncoming assault,
scattering the enemy like so many leaves. |
|
‘He is
chivalrous to a fault, and considered by many to be the greatest swordsman in
the world—even the vilest, most towering troll dare not stand its ground when
faced with his whirling greatsword. |
|
‘The second
half of this gallant duo is the shrewd and ingenious Sir Jasper. Regarded as the
sharpest military mind of the age, he has led heavily outnumbered forces to
glorious victory again and again. |
|
‘Though as a
swordsman he may be no match for Sir Hendrik, his ability to analyse any battlefield
and quickly arrive at the ideal strategy for the situation at hand is
unrivalled. |
|
‘With these
two great men—the Swordsman and the Strategist—to protect it, Heliodor need
fear no foe.’ |
|
You found the book
about the two great heroes of Heliodor! You should go and tell the tourist
who was looking for it! |
|
*: Oh, hello
there! I can tell from that look in your eyes that you found that book! Go
on—tell me what it said! |
|
*: ...What's
that? Sir Hendrik is the mightier swordsman, but Sir Jasper is a peerless
military tactician? I'd heard as much! |
|
*: ...And
between the two of them, they've made Heliodor a nigh on unbeatable military
force! Well, I never! Fancy that! |
|
*: Ahh, I'm so
glad you shared that with me! Now I feel a lot closer to my heroes—and I feel
a lot safer knowing they're around to protect Heliodor! |
|
*: Thank you
so much for enlightening me! I may not have met them, but this is the next
best thing! Here's a little something to say thank you! |
|
It's a book
entitled ‘The Soldier and the Strategist – A Tale of Two Heroes’. |
|
‘No matter how
ferocious an assault the monsters may launch against Heliodor, this great kingdom
shall not fall, for two heroic figures will stand in the path of any
attacker. |
|
‘The first is

|
*: So between
the two of them, Sir Jasper and Sir Hendrik have made Heliodor a nigh on
unbeatable military force? Fancy that! |
|
*: Ahh, I'm so
glad you shared that with me! Now I feel a lot closer to my heroes—and I feel
a lot safer knowing they're around to protect Heliodor! |
|
*: This just
goes to show that there are all kinds of amazing facts just sitting in books
waiting to be read! If you see a bookshelf with a red book, make sure to have
a good leaf through it! |
|
*: Waaah! Waaah!
Amelia's stuck on the roof! She won't come down! Waaah! |
|
*: Someone
help meee! Amelia's stuck on the roof! You have to help! |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Waaah! You're
horrible! |
|
*: Oh thank
you! Thank you so much! You're so nice! Please get Amelia down! She's scared
of heights, you know! |
|
*: Meeew! |
|
The cat sounds
distressed. |
|
*: According to
this poor nipper, her friend Amelia's gone an' got stuck on the roof. |
|
*: You can get
out on the rooftops from the item shop, but I can't leave 'er 'ere bawlin' to
go an' get it, can I? Cor, wot a pickle... |
|
*: Waaah! Waaah!
Amelia's stuck on the roof! She won't come down! Waaah! |
|
*: Poor
Amelia! She must be starving! |
|
*: Please,
mister! You have to help Amelia! She's stuck on the roof! You have to get her
down! |
|
*: Meeew! |
|
The cat's paw seems
to be stuck in a hole in the roof. Do you want to help it?<yesno> |
|
*: Miaooow! |
|
<pc>
gently removes the cat's paw from the hole. |
|
*: Miaaaowr! |
|
You helped the
little girl's cat! Go and tell her the good news! |
|
*: Y-You did it!
You got Amelia off the roof! Thank you! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Here, take this! |
|
*: If you got
up on that roof, you can get onto others! You can probably even climb down
chimneys! |
|
*: Mmm!
Mmmeowww! |
|
*: So you're the
'ero who climbed up on the roof an' came to the rescue, eh? Nice one, mate!
She looks pleased as punch to 'ave 'er cat back! |
|
*: Thank you
so much for getting my kitty back, mister! I'm glad you didn't get stuck on
the roof too! |
|
*: If you got
up on that roof, you can get onto others! You can probably even climb down
chimneys! |
|
*: So that
blue-haired chap with you is called Erik, is he? Well, he looks like he knows
how to handle himself. You could have picked a worse travelling companion,
that's for certain. |
|
*: Now, tell
me something—have you heard of pep powers? They're special attacks that you
can only unleash with the help of your companions. |
|
*: Basically, they're
what happens when spells and abilities are mixed together in various
combinations. And believe me, they're well worth learning. Heh heh! I can see
I've piqued your interest! |
|
*: Alright,
let me think... Ah, of course! I've got just the one for you to try! I'm
pretty sure that if you and your friend Erik put your minds to it, you'll be
able to master a little cracker known as The Real Decoy! |
|
*: All you
need to do is team up and try it out on some hapless monster. You'll soon see
how incredible it is. Well, what do you say—fancy giving it a try? |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Hmph. I
see. So you'd rather do things alone, eh? Well, it's your loss. Trust me, there's
nothing quite like a pep power. Ah, well... |
|
*: That's the
spirit! But just one word of warning—this pep power won't work unless the
people performing it are pepped up. |
|
*: And what does
that mean, I hear you ask? Well, it's when you're in battle, and monsters are
attacking you, and suddenly you find that you're fully focused and ready for
anything! |
|
*: That should
be enough to get you there, I'm sure. Now, stop listening to me waffling on
and get out there and try it! Once you've taken out a monster with The Real
Decoy, come back and let me know! |
|
*: No doubt
about it, you and that blue-haired chap could pull off The Real Decoy with
panache! Now, go and find a hapless monster to try it out on! |
|
*: But just
one word of warning—you won't be able to use it unless both of you are pepped
up. |
|
*: And what
does that mean, I hear you ask? Well, it's when you're in battle, and monsters
are attacking you, and suddenly you find that you're fully focused and ready
for anything! |
|
You defeated a
monster using The Real Decoy! Head back to the soldier by the church in the
Heliodorian Foothills and tell him the good news! |
|
*: ...No!
Don't say a word! You don't need to! A man with my vast fighting experience
can recognise a first-time pep power user a mile off! |
|
*: The glint
in your eyes, the spring in your step, the glow of satisfaction...oh, yes!
You nailed it alright! |
|
*: You should
be proud of yourself! To have teamed up with a trusted ally and pulled off a
pep power is a momentous day for any aspiring warrior! |
|
*: It feels
amazing, doesn't it? Yes, there's nothing like a pep power! And I must say, I
feel rather proud of having opened your eyes to their wonder! |
|
*: Here you
are. Consider this a small souvenir to commemorate this magical moment! |
|
*: Now, don't
forget—there are many more pep powers out there just waiting to be
discovered. The number of ways in which spells and abilities can be combined
is beyond even my imagining! |
|
*: And don't
think they're all just two-person affairs—oh no, there are some that need
three of you to be pepped up before they can be performed too! |
|
*: To cut a
long story short, the more spells and abilities you master, and the more
companions you meet, the more pep powers will become available to you. |
|
*: Which just
goes to show that you can't always go it alone in this life. No, there are
times when it really pays to work with others! |
|

|
*: A wedding
beckons. My son is to
tie the knot, But he needs a
ring... |
|
*: I have the
gold ore, But sadly not
the talent To craft a
gold ring. |
|
*: ...But
could it be true? Could you have
a Fun-Size Forge, And know how
it works? |
|
*: Please,
forge a gold ring! And not just a
normal one— My son demands
it! |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request? You'll need to
forge a +1 gold ring or better.<yesno> |
|
*: This is a
dark day... My hopes
dashed against the rocks Like boats in
a storm... |
|
*: What a joyful
day! Now, open this
treasure chest! Take what lies
within! |
|
*: You will
need this too. Take the tome
I offer you, And study it
well. |
|
<pc>
receives the book containing the recipe for the gold ring! |
|
*: Learn the
recipe. Gather the items
it lists And craft a
gold ring. |
|
*: And if you
should fail, Use a
perfectionist's pearl. Try your hand
again. |
|
*: Forge the
ring I crave. Do not equip
it yourself, For my son
needs it. |
|
*: Please, I
beg of you! Pray, make my son's
dreams come true With a ring of
gold! |
|
*: Please,
forge a gold ring. And not just a
normal one— My son demands
more! |
|
*: I have what
you need. Just open this
treasure chest, Take what lies
within. |
|
*: You will
need this too. Take the tome
I offer you, And study it
well. |
|
*: And if you
should fail, Use a
perfectionist's pearl. Try your hand
again. |
|
*: Forge the
ring I crave. Do not equip
it yourself, For my son
needs it. |
|
*: Please, I
beg of you! Pray, make my
son's dreams come true With a ring of
gold! |
|
*: Do you have
the ring? One of refined
quality, Shining like
the sun?<yesno> |
|
*: Do not toy
with me! My son's
wedding is at hand, Time is
against me! |
|
*: A wonder, a
joy! All I had hoped
for and more! Please, take
this reward! |
|
*: I am so
grateful! My son will be
overjoyed, His wedding
perfect! |
|
*: I owe you
so much! You and your
miniature forge— A thing of
wonder! |
|
*: The sweat
on one's brow, The hammer on
hot iron— The life of a
smith. |
|
*: Art of our
fathers. A village
built on this trade. A proud
tradition. |
|
*: We need
iron ore. The mountains
abound in it— An endless
supply. |
|
*: Help us to
find it! Gather the ore
we so need— A reward
awaits! |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Your words
pain my heart... Your refusal
saddens me Like autumn's
first chill... |
|
*: You are
still so young, Yet you fear
effort and toil, Lazy as the
sloth! |
|
*: Your words
glow like gems! You have a
miner's spirit, A will of
iron! |
|
*: Now, seek
out that ore. Look for
crystals in the rocks. There you will
find it. |
|
*: Find a
source of ore. Rain down
blows with your hammer— The prize will
be yours. |
|
*: Head west
from Hotto. The earth's
wealth awaits you there— Bring me what
you find! |
|
*: Seek out
iron ore. Look closely
for its sparkle, Blessing of
the rocks. |
|
*: Look out
for crystals Glittering in
the rock face. There you will
find it. |
|
*: Find a
source of ore. Rain down
blows with your hammer— The prize will
be yours. |
|
*: Head west
from Hotto. The earth's
wealth awaits you there— Bring me what
you find! |
|
*: You have
found the ore! Now, friend, I
must beg of you— Please, let it
be mine!<yesno> |
|
*: Your words
pain my heart. Yet I still
have a faint hope— You may change
your mind... |
|
<pc>
hands over the iron ore. |
|
*: ...Now I
must confess— In truth, we
had enough ore. I wished to test
you. |
|
*: You passed
with aplomb! You have a
true miner's heart— You may keep
the ore! |
|
<pc>
receives the iron ore! |
|
*: But that is
not all! I must reward
you further— This tome,
too, is yours! |
|
*: You have
learned a lot— About mining,
about ore... And about
yourself! |
|
*: A smith
without ore— Bereft as a
winter nest, Birds long
departed... |
|
*: Remember my
words: Find those
precious seams of ore, Let your
hammer swing! |
|
*: Do not fear
shortage— In time, the seam
will give more, Like new
leaves in spring. |
|
*: How much
longer must I wait...? Why must the sands torture me so...? |
|
*: ...Ah. Good
day to you. You are perhaps wondering why I am standing here, yes? The truth is,
I am a painter, and I am waiting for a scene worthy of being immortalised by
my hand. |
|
*: I have
already envisaged the sort of image I would like to paint: a mighty,
magnificent conflict unfolding in the desert... |
|
*: Alas, the
sands have yet to oblige me. There is something missing... |
|
*: But what
could it be...? The setting is perfect, and there are plenty of spitzfires...
Ah, but of course—conflict! Cataclysmic, chaotic conflict in the form of a
magnificent move such as Wild Side! |
|
*:
Wait—perhaps you could assist me! Venture out into the Celestial Sands and
slay a spitzfire by unleashing your Wild Side—that will provide me with a
tableau truly worthy of my talents! |
|
*: Surely you
will not refuse a struggling artist in his hour of need? |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Oh. How
disappointing. It would have made a wonderful painting, I am certain...
Still, things cannot always be as one would like them to be... |
|
*: Oh,
wonderful! A thousand thank yous! Yours is the kind of attitude that can
inspire a masterpiece, I am sure! |
|
*: Now, before
you venture out into the sands, I feel that I should remind you that Wild Side
can only be performed by three very specific people. That should give you an
idea of its power—and its beauty! |
|
*: If you want
to know who exactly needs to be pepped up in order to perform it, simply
select ‘Attributes’ from the menu and press
to find out more about your pep powers. |
|
*: Now, get
out there and show me the beauty of battle! I will ensure that you are
immortalised on canvas! |
|
*: I would
like you to venture out into the Celestial Sands and slay a spitzfire by unleashing
your Wild Side. That will provide me with a tableau worthy of my talents! |
|
*: Now
remember—Wild Side is a pep power that must be performed by three very
specific people. |
|
*: If you want
to know who exactly needs to be pepped up in order to perform it, simply
select ‘Attributes’ from the menu and press
to find out more about your pep powers. |
|
*: Now, get
out there and show me the beauty of battle! I will ensure that you are
immortalised on canvas! |
|
You unleashed
your Wild Side and slew a spitzfire! You should go and tell the painter in
front of the noticeboard in northern Gallopolis! |
|
*: I saw it
all! Every single moment! Even from this distance, I could sense the glorious
intensity of the battle! |
|
*: And do you
know, inspiration for a title for my masterpiece has already struck—it shall
be called ‘A Walk on the Wild Side’! |
|
*: But now is
not the time to be thinking of titles—I must devote all my energies to completing
the work itself! |
|
*: Ah, but
before I forget, I must give you something to thank you for your assistance.
Please... |
|
*: Truly, it
has been years since I witnessed such a stimulating scene! These are the moments
an artist lives for! A thousand thank yous, young man! |
|
*: I have
already chosen a title for my masterpiece! It shall be called ‘A Walk on the
Wild Side’! |
|
*: But now is
not the time to be thinking of titles—I must devote all my energies to
completing the work! |
|
*: And as soon
as it is finished, I must devote myself to my next great project: capturing
the ominous majesty of Erdwin's Lantern! |
|
*: Oh! Good
day to you! I assume you are here to sample Gallopolis's world-renowned cactus
cutlet? |
|
*: If so, I am
afraid I have bad news for you—the kitchen is currently closed while I
dedicate my energies to improving the recipe. |
|
*: I am
certain that a golden globule would intensify the flavour tenfold, but
acquiring such an ingredient is easier said than done. The golden globes—the
cacti who carry them—are extremely vicious... |
|
*: Ah, but
they would pose no problem for a young and no doubt vigorous individual such
as yourself, I am sure! |
|
*: Perhaps you
could assist me? Would you be willing to hunt down a golden globe in order to
acquire the golden globule I require in order to perfect my cutlets? |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
|
*: Aha ha ha! But
of course. A thousand pardons. I should never have made such a demand of a
stranger. How terribly rude of me... |
|
*: I shall
have to make do with the ingredients I have. I will seek out other ways of improving
the flavour of my cutlets. I only hope I am able to find one... |
|
*: You will?
Oh, praise the sands! I can assure you that you are about to play a crucial
role in culinary history! |
|
*: The golden
globes which drop the golden globule that I require are curious beasts. They
appear very occasionally alongside their cactiball brethren in combat out in
the desert surrounding Gallopolis. |
|
*: They are
not the most common of creatures, I confess, but if you were to engage enough
cactiballs in battle, you would be sure to encounter one eventually. |
|
*: I only
require a single golden globule. That will be more than enough for the
culinary experiments I wish to perform. I pray that it will not take too long
for you to find one and deliver it to me. |
|
*: My cactus
cutlets require an additional...something to take their flavour to the next
level, and I am keen to try using a golden globule in my next batch. |
|
*: However, the
golden globes that drop them are curious beasts. They appear very
occasionally alongside their cactiball brethren in combat out in the desert
surrounding Gallopolis. |
|
*: They are
not the most common of creatures, I confess, but if you were to engage enough
cactiballs in battle, you would be sure to encounter one eventually. |
|
*: I only
require a single golden globule. That will be more than enough for the
culinary experiments I wish to perform. I pray that it will not take too long
for you to find one and deliver it to me. |
|
You got a
golden globule! You should take it to the chef at the Aloe Beera in

*: Ah! Good
day to you. Does your presence here mean that you have brought me a golden
globule?<yesno> |
|
*: Oh... That
is rather disappointing, I must confess... |
|
*: But I have
faith in you still! You are the only one who can acquire one for me—and I am
fully confident that you will! |
|
*: By the sands—a
golden globule! Is it not so much more charming than any ordinary cactus? And
its texture appears to be perfect! This will make for a most satisfying
cutlet indeed! |
|
*: Perhaps I
should sample a small piece of it raw... (nibble) Hmm... (munch) Oh! It is so
rich and juicy! And so very sharp—just as a cactus should be! |
|
*: My cactus
cutlets will soon taste better than ever, of that I am absolutely certain! |
|
*: A thousand thank
yous, friend! You have improved the lives of cutlet-lovers everywhere!
Please, allow me to give you a little something in return... |
|
*: Golden
globes are not the only rarefied forms of regular monsters. Seeking others
out would provide you with valuable experience, I am sure. |
|
*: Ah, good
day to you, friend! I am pleased to report that as a result of your heroics,
my cactus cutlets are growing tastier every day! |
|
*: I am not quite
satisfied just yet, however. Rest assured that you will be the first to
sample the new recipe as soon as it has been perfected! |
|
*: Golden
globes are not the only rarefied forms of regular monsters. Seeking others
out would provide you with valuable experience, I am sure. |
|
*: The city of
Gondolia lies beyond this checkpoint. It is known for its busy port, and for
the crowds of people that throng its streets. |
|
*: Somewhere among
those crowds is my dear little sister. She went to Gondolia to pursue her
career, and has been too busy to come home since. I dearly hope that she is
well... |
|
*: Greetings,
traveller. My name is Hakim. Please pardon my impertinence, but I assume you
are making the journey to Gondolia? If so, I have a favour I would like to
ask of you. |
Hakim |
I have a
sister, you see. Her name is Akia, and she works in a bakery in the city. |
Hakim |
It seems she has
been very busy of late, and has been unable to come home and visit as a
result. As such, I have written her a letter. |
Hakim |
Unfortunately,
I am not permitted to leave my post. Would you be so good as to deliver the
letter to Akia on my behalf? |
|
You've been
asked to undertake a quest. Will you
acquiesce to this request?<yesno> |
Hakim |
...I
understand. It was most impudent of me to ask such a favour of a stranger.
Forgive me, please. |
Hakim |
You will!? Oh,
praise the sands! Only one with a truly kind heart would agree to assist a
stranger in this manner! |
Hakim |
Here is the
letter I would like you to deliver. I do not need to tell you this, of
course, but its contents are very important. Do not lose it, please! |
|
<pc>
receives Hakim's letter. |
Hakim |
Akia works in
a bakery in the north-western part of Gondolia. I would be most grateful if
you could deliver the letter to her there. |
|
*: Doge Rotondo
is rightly revered as the greatest merchant in all of Gondolia. I consider it
an honour to be in his employ! |
|
*: If you are
no sure what to buy, I recommend the cream cake. Is fresh from the oven! It
tastes like the heaven! Molto delizioso! |
|
*: Is so
tiring, working in the bakery from the morning until the night. Now I finish,
I want to eat something sweet. Allora, what I choose today...? |
Hakim |
Please, you
must deliver the letter I gave you to my sister in Gondolia. |
Hakim |
She works in a
bakery in the north-western part of the city. I would be most grateful if you
could deliver the letter to her there. |
|
*: ...Hm? You
are looking for a young lady named Akia? Well...my name is Akia. Do you think
I might be the one you are looking for?<yesno> |
Akia |
No? Are you
sure? There are no other people of that name in Gondolia... |
Akia |
Oh! Is
this...a letter from Hakim!? A thousand thank yous! I shall read it right
away! Let me see... |
|
‘My dearest
Akia, Are you well? I
hope that your apprenticeship at the bakery is not proving to be too
draining. I am certain that you will do well there. |
|
‘After all,
you have always been such a hard worker, ever since you were a little girl. |
|
‘Now that the misery
of our old life is a thing of the past, I pray that you are enjoying your
freedom. I cannot wait to see you blossom into a fully fledged baker. |
|
‘I have
enclosed a few gold coins. Hopefully they will make life a little easier for
you. I very much hope to see you one day soon—and to taste one of your
delicious cakes! With all my love, Hakim’ |
Akia |
Oh, poor
Hakim... How he must scrimp and save in order to send me money... |
Akia |
I must write him
my own letter in response. Wait a moment, please. It will not take long. |
|
<pc>
waits while Akia writes her letter... |
Akia |
I realise that
this is quite the imposition, but would you mind returning to the western
checkpoint and delivering this to Hakim? |
