You been to Aldelle Village recently? I haven't been there in a long time, and you know why? It's that Tobu; he hates my guts.

Can you believe he sent me out here--the middle of nowhere--to dig up Iron Ore?! Me, Alfrigh, former weapons trainer, now clawing his way through rocks lookin' for ore!

I'd laugh, except it really isn't all that funny.

Player: "Why doesn't he like you?"

Well...there was that one time I hit him....

See, one day Tobu was barking orders at me. I went to do what he asked, but then Ulgorn came by and asked me to do somethin' for him. 'Course, he's the boss--his order took precedence.

So I'm doing what Ulgorn asked when suddenly Tobu comes waddlin' over, spouting fire and brimstone 'cos I ain't done his job. Well...I'm not known for having the longest fuse, so I started shoutin' back...and then I hit him. He stormed off, I stormed off...and I thought that was the end of it.

The next day, I got word I'd been assigned a "special job"....

Player: "And now you're here."

Yep! I've been here for a couple of days now, and I still have no Iron Ore to show for it.

I've heard there's a bunch of it at the Odella Plantation, but I can't just prance in there and ask the Mau for it! They'd shred me to pieces!

How about you? Think you might be able to help me out? I'll pay you well....

Player: Accept.

You better get going, then. Tobu wants that Iron Ore right away. If I get the ore to him quickly enough, maybe it'll impress him and he'll assign me a better post!

Remember, the ore can be found at the Odella Plantation, though I've heard they have it at Dubaro Vine Canyon too, if you don't have much luck.

Player: "I'm on it."

You done already?

I hope the Mau weren't giving you too much trouble out there. They can be pretty aggressive when they want somethin'. You got the Iron Ore I asked for?

Player: "Here, have a look."

What? Where's all the ore?

Come on pal, the whole reason you went there was to collect the Iron Ore! Now get back out there and give it another try!

Player: "I'll get it this time."

This is it! Perfect!

Nice one, [%userclass]. This'll get Tobu's back up, for sure! He thought I'd be out here for weeks lookin' for the ore. I'll send these back to the village now. Here's your money!
