Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Sorocan: If your attire is anything to go by, you must be the traveler I have heard so much about. I am glad our paths have crossed.
Sorocan: Earlier, my husband left to take some of our sheep to the grazing fields, and in his haste, forgot his medicine bag. I fear without it, he may not be able to contend with the dangerous pests that roam there.
Sorocan: Please, see that it reaches him quickly. You should be able to find him to the south of here, tending to a flock of sheep.
(Optional)
Sorocan: I only hope it is not too late. Please hurry, for the grazing lands are often filled with danger.

Delivering the Oroniri leather bag to Khaidai

Khaidai: Who are you and what have you come here for?
<Hand Over Oroniri Leather Bag>
Khaidai: Sorocan sent you to deliver this to me? Unfortunately, you came too late.
Khaidai: You see, desertmaker beetles run rampant in this area. This bag contains a few vials of acid, which softens their tough carapace and renders them defenseless.
Khaidai: The creatures are incredibly tenacious and are difficult to take down without the help of this mixture. Earlier, I attempted to drive one off on my own and was injured.
Khaidai: While I remain here to recover, would you go and clear the surrounding area of these beetles for me?
Khaidai: Here, take these vials. Empty their contents upon any desertmaker beetle that comes at you. It will make them that much easier to kill.
(Optional)
Khaidai: Please see that the neighboring areas are cleared of any stray desertmaker beetles. In the meantime, I shall remain here and gather my strength.

Speaking with Khaidai

Khaidai: The beetles are gone, I take it? Now finally my sheep can graze in peace and I need not fear facing another one under less-than-favorable circumstances. Thank you.
Khaidai: In addition to being organized, my wife has a knack for picking out reliable individuals. I cannot count the number of times I have been saved by that woman. I do not know what I would do without her...
Khaidai: B-But don't you ever tell her that I said that! As an Oroniri man, it is my duty to protect her, not the other way around.
Khaidai: Now then, if you want your reward, you best return to my wife. She will see that you are fairly compensated for your services.
(Optional)
Khaidai: Please, move away from the sheep! Can you not see you are disturbing them?

Reporting to Sorocan

Sorocan: Oh! You are back! My husband was not hurt, was he?
Sorocan: Bahaha! Perhaps now he has finally learned his lesson!
Sorocan: <sigh> Then again, I suppose I cannot complain. While Khaidai may not have the eye for detail that I do, he is an incredibly kind man and does what he can to take care of both me and our sheep.
Sorocan: Ah─but forgive me. You have not come all this way to hear me talk about my husband! Please, take this and feel free to be on your way!
