Warehouse Keeper's Ambition

Are you an adventurer? Could I speak with you privately?

I want to tell you about a new layaway service that the Iron Gate Guild is offering... This is a great chance for you to get in on the ground floor!

"Tell me more."

... Keep your voice down! If old man Sorint overhears us, I could lose my job!

Where to start? Never mind all that stuff about the layaway service... I just wanted to get you alone! I need to hire an adventurer... Someone to be my partner in a business I'm starting...

"What sort of business?"

Ah, yes, I suppose you would want to know that, wouldn't you? No harm in that.

The truth is ... The Warehouse Chief over there just announced that he'll be retiring next year. He's narrowed the choice for his successor down to old man Sorint and myself. He says that whichever of us generates the most profit in the coming year will fill his position.

This is my big chance! No more working for the man! I've been in the warehouse business since I was 10 years old! I deserve this position!

"Hey, I think he heard you."

Oops, oh yeah, him...

Ah! Mr. Sorint. It's nothing! Yes! Nothing unusual going here, sir! Just helping this customer.

Damn that idiotic old fool... Anyway, this should be easy for you. Just bring me some Jade Crystals. They are all the rage this year among the noblewomen of Aden! The more of them you bring me, the greater your reward shall be. Bring me 100 or more at once and I'll give you a bonus. Do we have a deal?

You'll find Jade Crystals in the Enchanted Valley. You may have some trouble with the forest runners, the fline elders, the liele elders and the valley treant elders. Are you taking notes?

Ah, one more thing. Enchanted Valley is too dangerous a place to walk around by yourself. So, bring me a few of your friends who can keep a secret. Not too many though... Once we have enough people, you can go there with them. It's too dangerous to go there alone.

Wait here a moment, please... Mr. Sorint! Would you like a cup of tea? Do you need anything? Very well! Please come this way...

That doddering old fool! I'm surprised he hasn't fallen off a cliff by now...

Have you brought me any Jade Crystals? What's with the empty hands? Have you been to the Enchanted Valley and met any forest runners, fline elders, liele elders or valley treant elders?

"On my way, sir!" "I quit."

You do remember about the bonus for bringing me 100 or more crystals, don't you? Keep up the good work!

Pardon me... Yes? What's that, Mr. Sorint? What did you say? Oh, you want a massage? Very well, sir, but there shall be no happy ending!

... That doddering old fool! I'm surprised he hasn't fallen off a cliff by now...

Have you brought me any Jade Crystals? Do you remember my offer? Bring me 100 or more of them and you get a bonus!

"Here are your crystals." "I'll go for more crystals." "I quit."

Ah, yes, very high-quality crystals. Great job! You shall have your reward. Here you go! It's a fair price, no?

"I will bring you more Jade Crystals." "I quit."

How can you quit such a great job? I don't understand! Oh, well, you guys are a dime a dozen...

Dammit! Old man Sorint is calling me again. I wonder what it is this time... If you change your mind, come back and see me! Okay?

Mr. Sorint, did you call me? I'm coming!
