Um... What was I saying, again?
Oh, yeah...the Empire of Aht Urhgan. You want t' see the Near East, don't you? I can see it in your eyes.
How does Aht Urhgan sound to you?
-------CHOICES
I want to go!
Psh, not interested.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Psh, not interested."
Heheh, I appreciate your honesty.
Is 'at so? That's all I 'ave to say to you then, so get out o' here.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "I want to go!"
Well, aren't you clever? But once is enough. Seriously.
Anyway, that's enough batting aroun' the bush for now. Let's dig straight in t' the juicy details, shall we?
You know the ships at Mhaura used t' transport prospective mercenaries to the Near East? If you want t' climb aboard one o' those vessels, you 'ave got to go through none other than the Tenshodo here.
We received a request from the Empire 'erself. Getting those ships t' port was a royal pain. We finally managed t' bargain a cheap price on some rickety old vessels, and...
And you don't care. Sorry abou' that. A man's got to vent sometimes.
Anyway, you should know by now how things work around 'ere. If you want something, you 'ave to bring me something I want, first.
If you aren't in the mood t' scavenge up what I want, you can always cough up gil instead. O' course, that would be quickest.
Let's make this explanation brief, shall we?
You see, prices are a mite different in the Near East. Something that sells for a gil a dozen here might be a luxury item in Aht Urhgan.
Jumping straigh' to the point, now.
I want you t' bring me some common items from this side o' Vana'diel, and I'll give you the <PLACEHOLDER> in exchange.
The more you bring me, the better. I 'ave put together a few lists if you'd like to take a look. I will leave it t' you which to bring me.
Ah yes, and there is gil, too. Righto.
You can buy your way out if you choose.
If you decide t' go the gil route, I will need <PLACEHOLDER> gil up front. That's nothing for adventurers nowadays, righ'? You can also consider it your price o' failure, heheh.
So what'll it be?
I'll read the list now, so decide which set is in your budget and make a note o' what you need.
What'll it be?
-------CHOICES
Beginner List.
Intermediate list.
Advanced list.
Pay the <PLACEHOLDER> gil.
Please explain again.
Let me think about it.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Let me think about it."
It's going t' take you some work if you want to go to Aht Urhgan, but you cannot get there through anyone but us.
Heh heh heh...
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Advanced List."
The advanced list, eh? A superb choice. The items on this list are few, so they should fit nicely in your bag, but they are quite difficult t' come by.
You can choose from the following:
One coffer key from a beastman stronghold--Davoi, Beadeaux, Castle Oztroja, the Temple of Uggalepih, the Den of Rancor, the Quicksand Caves, or the Sea Serpent Grotto.
A “testimony.” Those ancient scraps of papyrus seem t' be quite popular with collectors these days. I don't know all the details, but apparently there's a testimony for any o' the jobs an adventurer can be. Anyway, I just need one.
Your last option is t' bring me chips from Pso'Xja.
I'll need a set o' those, though. You'll 'ave to bring me <PLACEHOLDER>, <PLACEHOLDER>, and <PLACEHOLDER>, all three.
That's it for the advanced list.
You can bring me any one o' the above requests, but if you decide t' bring Pso'Xja chips, I'll need 'em in a set o' three.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Intermediate List."
Intermediate, eh?
This one is quite a bother.
Beastmen 'ave been a real plague t' the Near East as of late. Not that we haven't been having problems here, too.
But anyway, the situation 'as driven up the demand for beastman spoils.
I want you t' bring me <PLACEHOLDER>, <PLACEHOLDER>, and <PLACEHOLDER>.
The beastmen have been using those t' relay orders. I require all three.
That's all for the intermediate list.
It may sound simple, but those items are scattered all about the strongholds and are rather difficult t' get a hold of.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Beginner List."
You say you want t' go to Aht Urhgan, but you're too big o' a coward to face a challenge, eh? That attitude will get you nowhere in the Empire, I tell you. Ah well, it's all the same t' me, as long as I make a profit.
This will be more like running errands, but there are a lot o' things for you to collect on this list.
There are a lot o' curious items here. I need you to bring me <PLACEHOLDER>, <PLACEHOLDER>, and <PLACEHOLDER>.
Wait, there's more. I also require <PLACEHOLDER> and <PLACEHOLDER>.
...Oh, and one last thing--<PLACEHOLDER>. Hand me these six items at one time, and I will be satisfied.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE TO PAY
Hoho!
So this high and mighty adventurer refuses t' be reduced to running errands!
Ah, sorry abou' that.
I'm not picking on you, so don't get your feathers in a ruffle.
So you are going t' pay me gil. Is that correct?
You won't receive the permit immediately, you know. Are you okay with that?
Pay <PLACEHOLDER> gil for the permit?
-------CHOICES
On second thought, no.
Yes.
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Yes."
You're not going t' regret this later, are you?≻
Be honest.
-------CHOICES
Now that you mention it...
Regret? I know the word not!
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Regret? I know the word not!" BUT DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY
Blimey! You've only got <PLACEHOLDER> gil?
Come back when your pockets are a little heavier!
-------IF YOU CHOOSE "Regret? I know the word not!"
Congratulations, [sir/ma'am], we have a deal!
Come back tomorrow and I will give you the <PLACEHOLDER>.
And don't you worry, because the Tenshodo is true t' its word!
You pay Faursel <PLACEHOLDER> gil!
Exactly what I asked for!
Congratulations, [sir/ma'am], we have a deal!
Come back tomorrow and I will give you the <PLACEHOLDER>.
And don't you worry, because the Tenshodo is true t' its word!
What's done is done. Sorry, but I'm not giving any refunds.
Come back tomorrow and I will give you the <PLACEHOLDER>.
-------WHEN YOU COME BACK THE NEXT DAY, HAVING DONE ONE OF THE LISTS (Probably)
Good day t' you.
You can 'ave your <PLACEHOLDER> now!
With this, you can ride t' the Near East from the port at Mhaura.
I 'ave got t' tell you up front, though, that the high seas are a dangerous place. I can't guarantee your safety, so travel at your own risk.
If I were you, I'd be praying for the ship t' simply stay afloat.
Heh heh heh...
With <PLACEHOLDER>, you can ride t' the Near East from the port at Mhaura.
-------WHEN YOU COME BACK THE NEXT DAY, HAVING PAID GIL (Probably)
Good day t' you.
I 'ave got your <PLACEHOLDER> here. Unfortunately, I cannot hand it t' you just yet.
Righto. Here goes nothing.
Being o' the Tenshodo, I couldn't accept such an exorbitant price for a simple permit without including some type o' extra service.
Can you hear me, anyway...?
Well, when you open your eyes, you're in for a surprise. Heheh.
Ah, it's you again.
Did you make it t' Aht Urhgan in one piece? Sorry for catching you by surprise earlier.
I'm not sure if you know this or not, but Aht Urhgan has a pact forbidding airships from flying over their nation.
O' course, we found a way around that, and dropped you into that ginormous forest from the sky. The Tenshodo'll always give you your money's worth.
We didn't want anyone else t' know about that route, so we had t' bail you out from midair and keep the operation secret. Sorry, but it was the only way.
thaaaank, you, Alla!
