I realize, Elyos, that it's improper to ask a favor of someone I just met, but I find myself in a very sticky situation here.

I know you have your own problems, but my professional reputation as well as my business are now on the line....

I really don't know who else I can turn to.

Player: "What happened?"

You see, Player, I got a large order for my handcrafted pickaxes...quite a sum of Kinah, too.

It took me weeks to make them...just finished last nightfall. Then, I wake up this morning, and everything is gone...all my pickaxes, gone.

The order is due tomorrow--some of your Brigade Generals ordered them. There's no way I can make that many again in one night. I can't afford to lose this sale or this client.

Player: "Do you want me to buy you some time?"

That would be nice, but I'd need more time than you can possibly give me. I haven't had much business in awhile, and there are plenty of blacksmiths looking for work these days.

What I need is a message delivered to one of your people. He's always been kind to me, and he owes me a favor.

He's in the Undirborg Observation Post. His name is Sueros, and he's a centurion. Would you deliver the message to him for me? The guards won't let me through without the proper documents.

Player: Accept.

Ah, you are a very kind, Player. Thank you.

When you find Sueros, ask if he has a reliable source for tools...pickaxes, preferably. As many as he can get.

I'm hoping this might buy me a little time...until I can find the heartless savage that stole my order.

Player: "I'll deliver the message."

Arieluma, Player.

You look like something is on your mind.

Please, share.

Player: "Our friend Gefeios had a problem..."

Hmm...these Reians are a strange bunch of characters, aren't they?

I'd put my Kinah on the culprit being one of his own kind--some Reians don't like to see their countrymen working with us Elyos.

Still, I've gotten orders to try and foster better relationships with these Reians...that's why I urged the general to place the order with Gefeios in the first place. Let me see what I can do.
