Relliom |
|
YOU: gives Relliom the bird note. |
|
-Relliom studies the drawing for a few seconds, then looks at you knowingly.- |
|
Relliom: A very interesting piece of art. |
Relliom: Very interesting indeed. |
Relliom: It seems that perhaps you can aid me in a task of my own. |
Relliom: It is quite simple, really. |
Relliom: I need you to give someone a scroll. |
Relliom: I assume you will use the same… |
|
-Relliom pauses.- |
|
Relliom: …judgment as you did for your delivery. |
Relliom: Yes or no? |
Relliom: You might not get a second chance, so best you think hard before answering. |
|
YOU: Yes. |
|
Relliom: The eager little clacker, now aren't we? |
Relliom: I like that. |
Relliom: Now for your little task. |
Relliom: Take this sealed scroll to Jirosh Mikana. |
Relliom: A friend of mine, |
|
-Relliom gives you a sly smile.- |
|
Relliom: Melorick asked me to take care of this little issue, if you understand my meaning. |
Relliom: He doesn't like to be bothered, so you'd best let me know what Jirosh says. |
Relliom: I'd hate to have Melorick get upset with you. |
Relliom: The rest is up to you. |
Relliom: If you lack the skills to react to the situation, come back and tell me you quit. |
Relliom: I am not an unforgiving man. |

Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: gives Jirosh Melorick's scroll case. |
|
Jirosh: Greetings! |
Jirosh: Welcome to my humble business. |
Jirosh: What's this? |
|
-Jirosh breaks the scroll case's seal and pulls out a scroll and a small metal object. A frown forms on his face as he reads.- |
|
Jirosh: This is serious. |
Jirosh: It seems that one of my clients received a crate of damaged goods. |
|
-Jirosh continues reading and his eyes grow wide.- |
|
Jirosh: This is more than serious. |
Jirosh: The crate contained jade blanks for the figurines intended for certain Enkidukai traditional ceremonies. |
Jirosh: The carver can't use the broken blanks. |
Jirosh: What a terrible loss. |
Jirosh: Those figurines mean a great deal, but will be delayed until the next shipment. |
|
-Jirosh picks up the metal object.- |
|
Jirosh: This was found inside the damaged crate. |
Jirosh: Could you take it and see if Merrinez knows anything about it? |
|
-Jirosh waits for your answer.- |
|
YOU: Hand it over and I will see what I find out. |
|
Jirosh: Right, then. |
Jirosh: Take this to Merrinez straightaway. |
Jirosh: The faster this is solved, the better I will feel. |
Jirosh: Tell me who it belongs to if you find out. |
|
-Jirosh hands you the metal object.- |
|
→ Go to
Merrinez Dholant |
|
YOU: gives Merrinez the metal stopper. |
|
Merrinez: Thanks! |
Merrinez: I have been looking all over for this. |
Merrinez: I was wondering where it got off to. |
Merrinez: Been missing for a few days now. |
|
-Merrinez pulls a small, battered flask out of his pocket and twists the stopper in the end.- |
|
Merrinez: Who found it? |
|
YOU: Jirosh Mikana. |
|
Merrinez: Jirosh! |
Merrinez: That could mean trouble for me. |
Merrinez: He might think I was drinking on the job. |
Merrinez: Mind you, I never do that. |
Merrinez: I just like to keep this flask close to me, ya know. |
Merrinez: It belonged to five generations of Dholants, and I plan on passing it down to my first son. |
Merrinez: Well…I gotta get back to work. |
Merrinez: I hope Jirosh don't think the wrong thing. |
|
→ Go to
Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: Merrinez |
|
Jirosh: I feared it might belong to him. |
Jirosh: I have seen him with the flask that stopper belonged to. |
Jirosh: I am going to have to reprimand him for this later. |
Jirosh: I don't have the time now if I am to make out the order for new jade. |
|
-Jirosh sighs.- |
|
Jirosh: I really should do something now though. |
Jirosh: Do you think I should take his flask away? |
|
YOU: Yes, drinking on the job should not be tolerated. |
|
Jirosh: Then go get it for me, please. |
|
→ Go to
Merrinez Dholant |
|
YOU: Jirosh wants the flask, now. |
|
Merrinez: Oh… |
|
-Merrinez's face droops.- |
|
Merrinez: I just heard about the busted crate of jade. |
Merrinez: He must think I did it. |
Merrinez: I swear I have not dropped a crate in months, and I never drink on the job. |
Merrinez: I only have a few with my friends after work. |
Merrinez: He has to believe that! |
Merrinez: If he takes my flask away, what am I going to have to pass on to my first son… |
Merrinez: that is, if Toda would even accept if I asked her to marry me. |
Merrinez: This is awful! |
Merrinez: If this gets out, she is gonna think I am a halfwit drunk who slacks on the job. |
|
-Merrinez looks at you with pleading eyes.- |
|
Merrinez: You gotta help me out and clear my name. |
Merrinez: Will you help me? |
Merrinez: Please? |
Merrinez: For my future children's sake. |
|
Possible Ways: 2 |
|
Way 1: |
|
YOU: No, hand over the flask. |
|
Merrinez: If you don't believe me… |
Merrinez: then I guess I gotta do what the boss says. |
Merrinez: Here… |
|
-Merrinez hands over the flask.- |

Jirosh Mikana |
|
Jirosh: Thank you. |
Jirosh: I hate to do this to him, as he has been such a good worker for such a long time, but I have even more bad news. |
Jirosh: Since it seems he is responsible for the broken jade, I will have to dock his pay to cover part of the replacement cost. |
Jirosh: If you could, tell him he must pay… |
|
-Jirosh pauses.- |
|
Jirosh: Never mind. |
Jirosh: I would rather tell him myself. |
Jirosh: It would be too cruel coming from someone who is practically a stranger. |
Jirosh: I just remembered. I have a package waiting for Melorick to pick up. |
Jirosh: Please take it to him; I cannot keep it here any longer. |
|
-Jirosh hands you a wooden box decorated with a highly stylised tree engraved on the cover.- |
|
→ Go to
Relliom |
|
YOU: gives Relliom the engraved tree box. |
|
-Relliom chuckles as he takes the box. He studies the tree for a moment before looking at you.- |
|
Relliom: Well done. |
Relliom: Poor poor Merrinez. |
Relliom: He should really learn to be more careful, don't you think? |
Relliom: It is so sad when good people allow their lives to fall apart like that. |
Relliom: I am sure you are much more careful. |
Relliom: I would hate for something like that to befall you, my friend. |
Relliom: Now, before we go on, I am going to give you a choice. |
|
-Relliom grins and holds up a slip of paper.- |
|
Relliom: You can go back and tell Jirosh that Merrinez is innocent…or you can take this note. |
Relliom: A simple choice, really. |
Relliom: Give an innocent man his life back, or accept a single piece of paper. |
Relliom: What will it be? |
Relliom: Life or paper? |
|
YOU: Paper. |
|
Relliom: Well, then, my eager little clacker. |
Relliom: It is time for your next task. |
Relliom: Take your paper. |
Relliom: I am sure you know what to do with it. |
|
Way 2: |
|
YOU: Okay, I will try and help. |
|
Relliom: Thank Talad! |
Relliom: I don't know where the crate got broke, or even if it got broke, but it was not me or anyone else here. |
Relliom: Tell Jirosh I didn't do it. |
|
→ Go to
Jirosh Mikana |
|
YOU: Merrinez didn't damage the crate. |
|
Jirosh: Well, if he said he did not do it, then I believe him. |
Jirosh: I don't hire workers that would lie to me. |
Jirosh: I will have to look elsewhere for the problem. |
Jirosh: Might have fallen off a cart, or have been damaged on delivery. |
Jirosh: Thank you for your help. |
Jirosh: Tell Melorick I will make amends. |
Jirosh: Here is a coin for your bother. |
|
-Jirosh hands you a circle.- |
|
→ Go to
Relliom |
|
YOU: Jirosh will make amends. |
|
Relliom: Will he now? |
Relliom: No…I think it is you who shall be making amends. |
Relliom: You sadden me with your sloth. |
Relliom: You could not even complete a simple test. |
Relliom: You are of no more use to me. |
Relliom: The others who follow the whisper in the sewers await your service. |
Relliom: Perhaps you will better serve those worms. |
