Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Harvene: Ah, you are one of Master Matoya's guests, are you not? Perhaps you can assist me.
Harvene: To the west of here, in Lake Tusi Mek'ta, sits a tree which cradles an enormous crystal─the Fruit of the Protector. It is said to have existed even before the empire of Ronka.
Harvene: I require the bark from this tree and I would ask you to retrieve it for me.
Harvene: I must make dye for our clothes, you see, and it is a most vital ingredient.
Harvene: As you might expect, eaters and all manner of beasts are drawn to its power. Were the woods not so rife with danger I would go myself.
Harvene: Please say you will help. I require but four pieces of bark to finish my work. 
(Optional)
Harvene: Do be careful when peeling the bark, lest you damage the tree.

Delivering the peeling bark to Harvene

Harvene: Ah, you are returned. Were you able to reach the tree?
<Hand Over 4 Peeling Bark>
Harvene: Thank you, [miss/sir], thank you! I realize it looks like ordinary bark at a glance, but it makes for such wondrous colors when properly ground and mixed.
Harvene: Garments dyed using the bark from that tree are said to be blessed by the Protector, you know.
Harvene: Mark my words: every guard in Slitherbough will be dressed from head to toe in clothes using my dye. Perhaps even the children and the elderly!
Harvene: I better set to boiling this bark. If you'll excuse me.
