Higher-ups of the Traders just issued very important order, nyerk!

They want to secure a base of operations for Black Cloud Traders in Reshanta.

If Jakurerk does well on this job, Traders will flourish and Jakurerk might get promotion!

Player: "What do you have to do?"

For Black Cloud Traders to get base, Jakurerk must have cooperation from Elyos!

But there are many places too dangerous for Jakurerk to go, and Daevas trust Daevas more than Shugos!

Jakurerk will give Daeva this document. Daeva can take it to each fortress and get signatures for Jakurerk?

Player: A"What does it say?"

Document says Shugos will offer discounts if Elyos agree to deal only with Black Cloud Traders, nyerk.

Daevas will receive goods at prices much cheaper than what they pay now!

Well? Will Daeva help?

Player: Accept

Greetings, Daeva! I'm glad you're here--we're actually a little short-handed.

I have a few things I could use your help with, if you're willing.

Er... what's that you're holding?

Player: "So, funny story..."

The Black Cloud Traders, right...

So the Shugos have decided to side with us in the Abyss war, have they? I find that hard to believe, much as I'd like it to be true.

Fine... I'll take the bait. At least we'll be able to get cheaper supplies.

Player: "Thank you."

Ah, Player!

You brought the supplies from Teminon Landing, right? Quick, quick--hand them over.

Player: "Uh... I can offer you a chance at discount supplies."

Hmm... The Black Cloud Traders are quite ambitious, it seems.

They already monopolize the trade out here. Now they want "official recognition" hm? Well, it doesn't look like a bad deal for us, so I'll go ahead and sign.

Er, you don't know what happened to those supplies we're expecting, do you...?

Player: "Afraid not, no."

Your expression worries me, Daeva. I imagine you bring serious news?

Best get it over with. Show me what you have.

Player: "Er, it's just this..."

I think I understand what this is about...

The Black Cloud Traders are impertinent, indeed. They're wasting your time with this, and ours.

I will sign it for your sake, Player, but I will not tolerate this again.

Player: "Thank you."

Daeva is back!! Akakak.... Did everybody sign, nyerk? They did?!

Jakurerk wants to cry just thinking of the hardship Daeva must have gone through for Shugos...! Black Cloud Traders will treasure this document!

Traders can start operating again! Daeva should help with Black Cloud's first trade! Daeva is honorary Trader!

Player: "Ah..."

Deliver a Supply Box to each fortress that you obtained signatures from, nyerk.

Since Daeva has already been to those places, it won't take long!

Player: "I... are you kidding me?"

Phew... it's been a long day, Daeva. I just had to re-inventory all of our supplies.

So, what brings you here?

...I hope it's not anything important. If I have to look at another spreadsheet or list of items again, I may kill someone.

Player: "I... erm, Jakurerk of the Black Cloud Traders sends his regards."

Are you serious?

...Well, as much as I don't want to inventory this, I have to admit we need the supplies. The Black Cloud Traders, hmm? I'll be sure to trade with them more in the future.

I don't suppose you'd be willing to help me catalog this?

Player: "Uh, no, sorry. I have more to deliver."

Daeva, did you hear the news? Our soldiers just crushed the Asmodian forces outside the walls!

I feel like I can breathe for the first time in weeks....

Ah, I'm sorry--what did you need?

Player: "Just delivering this."

Hmm, I didn't think trading with the Black Cloud Traders would be possible...

But really, I don't care who we trade with as long as we get the supplies we need on time.

Of course, if something ever goes wrong with this deal, someone will have to take responsibility.

Player: "...Of course."

Ah, Player. I admit I'm surprised to see you holding a Supply Box...

I heard that someone was delivering supplies for the Black Cloud Traders, but I didn't know it was you. How long have you been running errands for Shugos?

Ha, sorry. It's just amusing. Let's see what you brought, hmm?

Player: "Here you go."

Hmm... these are better quality than I thought. Well, I see no reason not to continue doing business with the Black Cloud Traders in the future.

Will you continue to deliver the supplies, Player?

Reshanta is a dangerous land, after all.

Player: "I have no idea."

Daeva really delivered them already, nyerk?

Jakurerk didn't think it would be so fast, nyerk!

This is nothing for a Daeva who performed such a great deed, but please take it!
