| → Go to Amakeer |
| YOU: I was wondering if you needed help? |
| -Amakeer does not respond, staring blankly at the space before him, but as the time passes, his placid face slowly turns in your direction at a creeping pace.- |
| Amakeer: You wish to do something for me? |
| -Amakeer reaches his hand out in your direction and as his fingers approach you, they begin twitching spontaneously.- |
| Amakeer: Race, is it? |
| Amakeer: It is unusual to see you here… |
| -Amakeer retracts his spiky hand and soon his fingers seem to calm down.- |
| Amakeer: So you come here with a good will. |
| Amakeer: Will to help others. |
| Amakeer: Do you wish to help a Derghir architect? |
| Amakeer: I am able to make it worth your while. |
| YOU: Yeah sure. I'd love to help you. |
| -Amakeer shifts his hand to his face, his fingers making clicking sounds as they tap at his cheek.- |
| Amakeer: My wish is to learn. |
| Amakeer: Your kind has wondrous ways to work with the elements. |
| Amakeer: Iron and stone. |
| -Amakeer fingers twitch for a moment.- |
| Amakeer: So different from those of our own. |
| Amakeer: I have heard that you cast your iron into firm blocks; shape it into what you want. |
| Amakeer: Please, provide me with one of those. |
| → Give Amakeer 1 Iron Ingot |
| YOU: Here is an iron ingot. |
| Amakeer: Iron 'inkot' they call it? |
| -Amakeer taps the block of iron, then slides his fingers across it.- |
| Amakeer: So that is what it looks like. |
| -Amakeer gradually turns his attention back to you.- |
| Amakeer: I also heard you turn it into other elements. |
| Amakeer: Sludges of steel and coal. |
| Amakeer: Please, bring one sludge of steel to me. |
| → Give Amakeer 1 Steel Sludge |
| YOU: One sludge of steel. |
| Amakeer: A queer substance, unknown to my eyes until now. |
| -Amakeer fingers twitch as he inspects the sludge.- |
| Amakeer: What elements do you use to make it? |
| YOU: Iron and coal melted together make steel. |
| Amakeer: Yes… |
| Amakeer: But how they change into another… |
| -Amakeer slowly tilts his head, still observing the sludge.- |
| Amakeer: That interests me. |
| -Amakeer flicking fingers creep the item closer to his eyes.- |
| Amakeer: How much of each element will you use to make it? |
| Amakeer: How much ore… |
| -Amakeer pauses for a few seconds, then spontaneously turns his head in your direction.- |
| Amakeer: How much iron and how much coal? |
| YOU: Well, you make it with nine iron ores and one coal ore. |
| -Amakeer slowly turns his head to the sludge, his fingers tapping on the item.- |
| Amakeer: Yes, yes… |
| Amakeer: I can see now. |
| -Amakeer shifts his hand over the surface of the muck.- |
| Amakeer: And about the other sludge? |
| Amakeer: The coal one. |
| Amakeer: If you brought it, please give it to me. |
| → Give Amakeer 1 Coal Sludge |
| YOU: This is the coal sludge. |
| -Amakeer moves the sludge closer to his eyes.- |
| Amakeer: You make this using the same minerals… |
| Amakeer: But different amount of them. |
| -Amakeer fingers tap on the item.- |
| Amakeer: How much iron and how much coal do you put into your machinery to make some of this? |
| YOU: This one is made with eight iron ores and two coal ore. |
| -Amakeer observes the sludge for a moment.- |
| Amakeer: Yes, this can be true… |
| -Amakeer slowly turns his head in your direction.- |
| Amakeer: Thank you for your answers. |
| -Amakeer stands motionless for a few moments.- |
| Amakeer: A long time ago I once found a item made of 'bronze.' |
| Amakeer: Could you tell me what two types of elements you use to create them? |
| YOU: copper and tin |
| Amakeer: Yes, yes. |
| Amakeer: That could be it. |
| -Amakeer stands motionless for a long moment as a cloud draws before the Azure sun.- |
| Amakeer: Thank you for your generous help… |
| Amakeer: please, take this as a reward for teaching me about your kind. |
| -Amakeer hands you a Green Jasper Crystal.- |
| Amakeer: It is a jasper I brought with us from a hole far away. |
| Amakeer: It is not to be found with us here… |
| -Amakeer stares at you blankly, randomly constricting and loosening his fingers.- |
| Amakeer: That is all I wanted from you, but you may stay with me longer, if you wish. |
