Game Script
Gate, San d'Oria
San d'Orian Gate Guard : Welcome back! I have an important mission for you this time. Recently, land is eroding due to crystal formation...and it's getting worse.
"Tell me more."
San d'Orian Gate Guard : There's a small spring on the eastern edge of Jugner Forest, called Crystwater Spring. We must know what effect crystal formation has on the wildlife there.
San d'Orian Gate Guard : I want you to get me a fish from the spring. And not just any fish! You need to get a Crystal Bass.
San d'Orian Gate Guard : That is all. You'll take the mission then?
"I accept"
San d'Orian Gate Guard : Ah, that reminds me--have you any fishing gear? You'll need some for this mission.
San d'Orian Gate Guard : There are people about that know a thing or two about fishing, should you need help finding and choosing your gear.
Upon fishing up a Crystal Bass and trading it to the San d'Orian Gate Guard:
San d'Orian Gate Guard : Hello there. Now's not the time for missions; Chateau d'Oraguille has been visited by bandits!
San d'Orian Gate Guard : You must make hast to Chateau d'Oraguille! Find Lady Curilla, general of the Temple Knights!
Repeating this quest will give a different response after trading the Crystal Bass:
San d'Orian Gate Guard : Ah, the great angler returns! I was worried, to be honest. All you hear these days is the massing of beasts, the erosion of the Crystal Lines, and now...
San d'Orian Gate Guard : ...rumors that the Shadow Lord himself has returned!
San d'Orian Gate Guard : We will examine the fish you brought. Depending on the results, we may need to act! I'll let you know if we need your help.
Chateau d'Oraguille
Halver : So, you're saying nothing was actually taken?
Curilla : That is right, Lord Halver. I can see ransacking our treasure vaults, but the chambers of Leaute d'Oraguille? What could they have been after?
Halver : The chambers are as they were when the queen passed away. Might she have left something of importance?
Curilla : Her jewelry all went untouched. It is possible that the thieves mistook the queen's chambers for another room.
Halver : Hmm. However, it has come to my attention that a copy of the castle floor plans has been circulating outside the castle.
Halver : If the thieves possess these floor plans, then perhaps they have motives other than just stealing treasure.
Curilla : That may be true. But even with a copy of the castle floor plans, it would take a skilled thief indeed to hide from all the guards in the chateau.
Curilla : And according to the gardener, our visitors were a party of two Elvaans...
Shamonde approaches the two.
Shamonde : It has come to my attention that thieves have ransacked the queen's chambers. Inform me immediately of what was stolen!
Halver : Please be at ease, Your Holiness. The Temple Knights have determined that the thieves stole nothing from the chateau.
Shamonde : Preposterous! If so, why did the thieves enter in the first place? Maybe the queen had something hidden...
Curilla : Pardon me, Your Holiness, but what do you mean by "something"?
Shamonde : If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you! But thieves would not enter without a purpose!
Halver Of course, Your Holiness. I will order the Temple Knights to continue their investigation, and have them inform you if they find anything.
Shamonde : I shall be waiting for your report. Hmph! Not even the Goddess Altana will forgive such a crime!
Shamonde departs as you approach.
Curilla : Hmm? It seems as if we have a visitor.
Curilla : You were sent to stop the thieves? Well, as you can see they have escaped.
Curilla : Considering we know nothing of the thieves, it would be futile to send out a search party.
Curilla : However, an adventurer such as yourself would have connections in many more places than we.
Curilla : Inquire with the gardener. He is the only one who saw the thieves. He may tell you something of importance.
Queen's Garden, Chateau d'Oraguille
Chalvatot : Ah, I know you. You're that adventurer <Player Name>. You want to know about the thieves that broke into the queen's chambers?
Chalvatot : Well, I didn't see anything special. All I saw was two suspicious lookin' Elvaan. When I yelled at 'em, they ran off. That be all.
Chalvatot : But I swear I seen me one before... The one with blue armor...
Lady Claidie approaches.
Claidie : Chalvatot, what has happened in my mother's chambers?
Claidie : When I went to give some water to the flowers, I passed by some Temple Guards.
Chalvatot : I am so sorry, Your Highness! Last night, some thieves broke into the late queen's chambers!
Chalvatot : And to make matters worse, the scoundrels are still on the loose! Oh, what has become of the once mighty Chateau d'Oraguille?
Claidie : I--I do not know what to say...
Claidie : I knew something was wrong when I found my mother's diary in a strange place...
Chalvatot : Your Highness? You say you saw something out of the ordinary?
Claidie : Chalvatot, something is amiss... Could you please come to my chambers later?
Claidie : Farewell, Sir <Player Name>. May you find the thieves that disgraced our great kingdom.
