Cicidoa needs a reliable adventurer to deliver a gift to the Coffer & Coffin.

— In-game description

Rewards

• 2   Marmot Steak

Steps

• Present the receipt to Gagari.

• Deliver the pumpkin to Roger.

Journal

• To repay a debt of gratitude, Cicidoa wishes to give Roger a pumpkin, which he has purchased from the Royal Plantations.

• The pumpkin grown at the Royal Plantations is as prodigiously plump as promised. Deliver it to Roger at the Coffer & Coffin.

• Roger thanks you for delivering the pumpkin. He believes that his patrons will benefit from a more balanced diet -- though whether or not they will take to the new menu remains to be seen.

Dialogue

Cicidoa: You're an adventurer, yes? If you're not otherwise occupied, I've a favor to ask. I've resolved to repay a debt of gratitude, which I owe to the owner of the Coffer & Coffin.

Cicidoa: For this purpose, I've purchased from the Royal Plantations a prodigiously plump pumpkin─a particularly popular piece of produce.

Cicidoa: Alas, I cannot part this place to procure and proffer the pumpkin. You see, the scheduled shipment from the Nanawa Mines, for which I wait, is late.

Cicidoa: I would prevail upon you to pick up the pumpkin in my stead, and see it safely to the Coffer & Coffin. Present this receipt of purchase to Gagari at the Royal Plantations, and she will yield it to you.

Cicidoa: I apologize for asking you to attend to this time-consuming task, but I truly appreciate your assistance!

Speaking with Cicidoa right after:

Cicidoa: The wagons from Black Brush have yet to veer into view. Ah, would that I could wander to the watering hole for a pint of precious pale ale.

===Picking up the Pumpkin: Gagari: If Cicidoa doesn't come calling soon, this spectacular specimen shall sadly be past its prime...

You hand over the Receipt of Purchase.

Gagari: Oh, so you're to deliver this decadent delight? I can say with confidence that any gourmand would be grateful for such a grand gift.

Gagari: Here is the pumpkin. I hope it meets with Roger's approval.

Gagari: Fresh produce is somewhat scarce in these parts, and as such we are always deluged with demand.

Gagari: You know the way to the Coffer & Coffin, correct? It is beyond the bridge to the northwest. Look for a place where local laborers lounge.

Presenting the pumpkin to Roger:

Roger: Drink fer ye, laddie/[GENDER]? Ye won't get better ale or spirits fer yer coin than at me place.

Roger: What's that? Wee Cicidoa asked ye to bring this here to me? Ha! Heh, so even that foul-mouthed drunk knows the meanin' o' remorse. Reckon this is fer the time I carried his drink-sodden arse back home.

Roger: But hells, an honest-to-gods pumpkin from the Royal Plantations! I can't wait to see what the cooks'll do with her.

Roger: The lads here scoff down beastly amounts o' meat, an' it's startin' to tell on their health. It'll be good to get more vegetables in their bellies─assumin' I can get the stubborn bastards to try somethin' new. Thanks fer the help, laddie/[GENDER]!
