The Masked Mistress
Required: Archilaya's New Recipe quest.
→ Go to Archilaya Gurpleferd
YOU: Hi Archilaya, do you have something i can help you with?
-Archilaya looks around with a mischievous smile and whispers.-
Archilaya: Yes, I have another task that requires you to act with discretion.
Archilaya: Will you help me?
YOU: nods. “Sure.”
-Archilaya looks around again before continuing.-
Archilaya: I have a secret identity I use for participating in arena events; the double dagger events held by Gregori in particular.
Archilaya: My brother is very protective and will not approve, so I have to hide it from him.
Archilaya: I need you to help me get out of the baking competition that my brother signed us up for.
Archilaya: Please go and tell Orchibaly that I have a catering job on the day and return to me with his reply.
→ Go to Orchibaly Gurpleferd
YOU: Archilaya has a catering job on the same day, so she cannot make it.
-Orchibaly appears crestfallen as he listens to your explanation.-
Orchibaly: But we make the test beam…
Orchibaly: er best team!
Orchibaly: No one could stand against our paired skills.
-Orchibaly's voice starts to fill with excitement.-
Orchibaly: With my flour and pans, and her wit and spoons, all other bakers cower at the very whisper of our names!
Orchibaly: 'The Gurpleferds are coming!' they would shout in fear.
Orchibaly: For her to miss out on the thrill of victory, something must be wrong.
Orchibaly: I must say that Archilaya has been acting suspicious since I signed us up, and has been avoiding me since I mentioned it.
Orchibaly: Tell me, is this the truth you speak?
Orchibaly: Does she really have other work to do?
Possible Ways: 2
Way 1:
YOU: No
-Orchibaly's disappointment is obvious as he acknowledges your words.-
Orchibaly: So Archilaya is up to her old tricks again.
Orchibaly: I knew working in the arena would be too much of a temptation for her.
Orchibaly: Baking bread just does not have the thame srill…
Orchibaly: er same thrill as playing with her blades, it seems.
Orchibaly: We must help her remember the excitement of buns and muffins!
Orchibaly: The perfect muffin is just…
-Orchibaly's eyes sparkle as he stares into the distance for a few moments.-
Orchibaly: It is beyond mere words.
-Orchibaly's eyes widen and a grin forms on his face.-
Orchibaly: I know!
Orchibaly: We can play the secrets game as well.
Orchibaly: She will no doubt try to get you to deliver her application form.
Orchibaly: Bring it to me instead and be careful not to arouse her suspicion.
Orchibaly: Tell her I say it is 'all good' for now.
Orchibaly: This is going to be so much fun! I never got to be a spy before!

-Orchibaly grins in amazement.-
Orchibaly: Well I'll be the son of a soup maker.
Orchibaly: I had my suspicions she was pulling something like this, but I had no idea it was her!
Orchibaly: You might not know this, but I have attended some of these competitions.
Orchibaly: The Masked Mistress is an excellent fighter, with personality to boot.
Orchibaly: If it truly is my sister, she might be an even better gladiator than she is a baker!
Orchibaly: I am not about to try to stop her.
