1,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_01","Inspector's Log:
Once more did I set aside the Case of the Silent Correspondent to divert my inspectorial energies to more urgent matters─namely, the restoration of the ailing Master PuPu back to health. Laid low by a common cold, his unearthly physiology called for uncommon treatment, yet I, Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville, did not shy from the challenge! Our extraterrestrial comrade thus restored (and an ambush by the incorrigible villain Doctor Lugae soundly thwarted), I resolved to resume the investigation in the scholarly city of Sharlayan. There did we learn a most heartening thing: Master PuPu's comrade was alive and well, and in the company of a Hannish alchemist. Such news was almost overshadowed, however, by the stunning secret revealed by Father's sought-after relic: the progenitor of the Manderville line was, himself, a being of alien origin! Will this change how I, a gentlemanly agent of enquiry, approach my investigations? Decidedly not!
　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*
Determined to implicate the friendly PuPu in the world-spanning conspiracy he is certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, most definitely exists, Delion would have you join him on a fact-finding expedition to Yedlihmad. It is there that Inspector Hildibrand and the others are continuing the investigation, their search now redirected to the Hannish alchemist thought to be accompanying PuPu's long-lost comrade."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_02","Just as Delion planned, you insert yourself into Inspector Hildibrand's efforts to interrogate the Yedlihmad locals. Surely someone among the port's populace knows the adventurous apothecary who risked all to peddle potions in the midst of Garlemald's civil war."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_03","A few well-placed questions have pointed you in the direction of a red-haired fisherman, said to be friends with the aforementioned alchemist. Hildibrand will wish to hear of this immediately."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_04","The clam-collecting fisherman shares with you the meteoric rise of his childhood friend, Baharasaf─now known as the merchant prince Vanhudi. After learning the alchemist's surprising identity, however, you are suddenly called to a disturbance on the outskirts of Yedlihmad where you encounter a strangely oblivious Doctor Lugae. Somehow, he is back in possession of his hulking body, and claims to be under Vanhudi's orders to cause trouble at the port. Godbert and Julyan appear during the ensuing battle, and assist you in defeating several more identical Lugaes who join the fray. PuPu then dematerializes the fallen brutes with his starship's vaporization beam, thereby proving that they were the result of matter replication technology.
It seems evident now that Vanhudi has been using the vessel belonging to PuPu's friend to amass a fortune of duplicated gold. You are unsure if the long-lost alien is being deceived or coerced into helping the unscrupulous merchant, but Hildibrand is determined to mount a rescue either way..."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_05","The time has come to confront Vanhudi. Wishing to reject the villain's latest business proposal in person, Godbert and Julyan suggest that you join them on the private airship being provided for their visit to the merchant's abode."

49,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_001","Our recent foray into Sharlayan revealed that PuPu's friend was in the company of a Hannish alchemist, yes?"
50,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_002","As such, I was inspired to do some preliminary legwork here in Thavnair. I contacted my usual sources for local sightings of alien phenomena, but alas...they had none to share."
51,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_003","I have thus switched tactics and decided to track down this alchemist fellow instead. Surely someone will have heard the tale of an apothecary bold enough to set up shop on a Garlean battlefield?"
52,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_004","The inspector and the others have been pursuing a similar line of inquiry, yet have found no leads here in the city or at the Great Work."
53,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_005","I believe they've moved their investigation to Yedlihmad, so I suggest we hurry over and join them. I cannot have that little blue man muddying the waters when we're so close to grasping his master plan!"
54,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010","What else can you tell us about your long-lost comrade, Master PuPu?"
55,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_011","Oh, my friend is an exceptional individual, capable of astounding feats that I could never accomplish without the help of my starship's equipment."
56,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_012","This port town would be an excellent place to analyze global trading trends..."
57,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_015","I'll need an Arkasodara to lift those big ones..."
58,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_016","One, two, three... Wait, let me check again."
59,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_017","This should be enough to last until the next shipment arrives..."
60,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_020","I see the two of you are eager as ever to observe my inspectorial genius at work. Ah, the long-term fans are often the most ardent!"
61,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_021","As a matter of fact, we were just about to continue our investigation into the alchemist we know to have been traveling with Master PuPu's comrade."
62,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_022","I-I mean...that is to say...I am merely following in the inspector's wake..."
63,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_023","You needn't be so modest, my dear Inspector Brandihild!"
64,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_024","'Tis wrong of me to comport myself as an equal to you all in any respect. For I am but a copy, and a flawed one at that..."
65,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_025","Stuff and nonsense! Clone or not, self-deprecation is unbecoming in a Manderville man!"
66,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_026","Exactly! The things you can do are <Emphasis>amazing</Emphasis>!"
67,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_027","Oh, I don't know about that..."
68,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_028","'Twas you who saved <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> from certain doom, was it not? While not quite as alacritous as mine, your rapid reasoning is nevertheless quite effective!"
69,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_029","'Tis kind of you to accept me, rough edges and all. I only hope my meager contributions are of some small assistance."
70,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_030","Too modest by half. I'd say his mental faculties far surpass those of the original..."
71,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_031","That's enough chin-wagging amongst ourselves, I think. Let us spread out and learn what the locals know of this adventurous apothecary!"
72,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_040","If I may, are you perchance acquainted with any reckless alchemists...?"
73,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_041","Zzz... Inspector Brandihild... A blocky man of quality..."
74,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_042","How fare your inquiries?"
75,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_043","Perhaps if I emulated Inspector Hildibrand's cavalier attitude, I could be of greater use in our investigations..."
76,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_044","Inspector Brandihild is possessed of a brilliant mind. If he were willing to work for <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis>, I'd employ him in a heartbeat."
77,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_050","Hmmm. I know of many merchants who travel abroad to ply their wares, but none who have business in Garlemald."
78,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_051","You'd have to be mad or desperate indeed to consider setting up shop in that troubled land..."
79,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_052","I mean, word is we've signed some kind of trade agreement with the Garleans, but it's still not the kind of place where one simply wanders in and opens a street stall."
80,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_060","Do I know any apothecaries? In Radz–at–Han? Of course, more than I can count."
81,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_061","I've not heard tell of anyone peddling such goods in the heart of the Empire, though. Seems like a terrible idea to me, what with civil war raging and the world almost ending."
82,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_062","The situation's improved in recent days, but even so, the Radiant Host still has to provide security for cargo shipments. A lone merchant trading there alone? Impossible."
83,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_070","Yes, I know the one of whom you speak. A fellow fisherman told me of a friend of his─an apothecary─who set off for war-torn Garlemald to sell his medicines."
84,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_071","A reckless fool, if you ask me. I've no interest in the affairs of such men. But you do, I take it?"
85,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_072","If so, I suggest you head to Ussaqeyiq and hear the tale for yourself. Look for a red-haired lad there gathering shellfish."
86,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_080","Sorry, I wish I could help you, but I think I'd remember if someone mentioned a trading venture in Garlemald."
87,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_081","Who would go gallivanting amidst the ruin of a fallen empire replete with unknown hazards for the sake of selling a few potions? No one I know, I'll tell you that much."
88,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_082","Are you familiar with Ussaqeyiq? It's a little island just outside town. Find the redheaded lad there and he'll have a story for you."
89,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_090","Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I hope your questioning has borne fresher fruit than mine..."
90,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_091","Oho, a good friend of the alchemist in question, you say? Then let us gather the troops and pay a visit to this felicitous fisherman."
91,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_100","...The story of my apothecary friend? Oh, you must mean Baharasaf. Well, I was near enough to calling it a day anyway, so here's what I can tell you..."
92,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_101","Baharasaf comes from a very poor family and, growing up, never had much in the way of money or possessions. I suppose those experiences are what led to his lifelong obsession with gaining wealth."
93,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_102","After trying his hand at a succession of trades, he decided alchemy would earn him the most gil...but his stock never sold as well as he hoped."
94,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_103","So when he heard about the internal strife in Garlemald, he saw it as a golden opportunity. Surely the middle of a war was the best place to sell medicines!"
95,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_104","Heh. More like the best place for near-death experiences. He soon gave up on his Garlemald venture─but while one would have expected him to return lamenting his ill fortune, Baharasaf was practically euphoric when I saw him again. A “gods-given blessing” he'd found in the snowfields had given him much cause to celebrate."
96,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_105","He said he'd learned how to create <Emphasis>gold</Emphasis>. I must admit, I laughed at first..."
97,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_106","But then he showed me a gleaming mountain of the stuff─enough to proclaim himself a merchant prince. He even changed his name to “Vanhudi,” a word which brings to mind the bounty of the divine."
98,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_107","A name I have heard! He's the rising star in the markets, is he not? The one snapping up commercial ventures left and right?"
99,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_108","Yes, “Vanhudi” has certainly made his ambitions known here in Thavnair, especially when he attempted to purchase the entire port of Yedlihmad."
100,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_109","The dockmasters declined to sell, of course, but when it comes to buying historic landmarks, a bottomless purse can open surprising doors. Last I heard, he'd converted the Gilded Araya into a private abode, and has been filling it with every rare treasure his gold can secure."
101,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_110","He pays out particularly large sums for artworks depicting the goddess Asura... I remember him being a fervent worshiper of Hers, even as a child."
102,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_111","I've encountered much Manusya and Mrga lore in Radz–at–Han, yet I recall no mention of this “Asura.”"
103,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_112","Well, that's hardly surprising. As a deity of war, She is not well loved by the commonfolk."
104,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_113","Baharasaf is different, though. He sees life as a constant battle to amass wealth, and it is to Asura whom he prays for victory."
105,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_114","And damn me if She didn't listen! That once-poor boy became merchant royalty, a man far too rich and important now to afford more than a fleeting moment for simple fishermen─even those who were once dear friends..."
106,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_115","Ahem. If you'll excuse me, I really must leave it at that─these clams won't sell themselves, you know."
107,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_116","How about that, eh! Our sought-after apothecary and the upstart merchant prince were one and the same."
108,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_117","Might we assume the “blessing” he stumbled upon in Garlemald was a certain alien craft and its occupant...?"

113,"TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_TOWNGARDLEADER04799_000_301","I have the situation under control, citizens! This individual bears a strong resemblance to a known fugitive, so I thought it prudent to investigate."

4 0 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_00 Delion is ready to embark on his latest investigation.
5 1 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_01 Inspector's Log: Once more did I set aside the Case of the Silent Correspondent to divert my inspectorial energies to more urgent matters─namely, the restoration of the ailing Master PuPu back to health. Laid low by a common cold, his unearthly physiology called for uncommon treatment, yet I, Hildibrand Helidor Maximilian Manderville, did not shy from the challenge! Our extraterrestrial comrade thus restored (and an ambush by the incorrigible villain Doctor Lugae soundly thwarted), I resolved to resume the investigation in the scholarly city of Sharlayan. There did we learn a most heartening thing: Master PuPu's comrade was alive and well, and in the company of a Hannish alchemist. Such news was almost overshadowed, however, by the stunning secret revealed by Father's sought-after relic: the progenitor of the Manderville line was, himself, a being of alien origin! Will this change how I, a gentlemanly agent of enquiry, approach my investigations? Decidedly not! 　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　* Determined to implicate the friendly PuPu in the world-spanning conspiracy he is certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, most definitely exists, Delion would have you join him on a fact-finding expedition to Yedlihmad. It is there that Inspector Hildibrand and the others are continuing the investigation, their search now redirected to the Hannish alchemist thought to be accompanying PuPu's long-lost comrade.
6 2 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_02 Just as Delion planned, you insert yourself into Inspector Hildibrand's efforts to interrogate the Yedlihmad locals. Surely someone among the port's populace knows the adventurous apothecary who risked all to peddle potions in the midst of Garlemald's civil war.
7 3 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_03 A few well-placed questions have pointed you in the direction of a red-haired fisherman, said to be friends with the aforementioned alchemist. Hildibrand will wish to hear of this immediately.
8 4 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_04 The clam-collecting fisherman shares with you the meteoric rise of his childhood friend, Baharasaf─now known as the merchant prince Vanhudi. After learning the alchemist's surprising identity, however, you are suddenly called to a disturbance on the outskirts of Yedlihmad where you encounter a strangely oblivious Doctor Lugae. Somehow, he is back in possession of his hulking body, and claims to be under Vanhudi's orders to cause trouble at the port. Godbert and Julyan appear during the ensuing battle, and assist you in defeating several more identical Lugaes who join the fray. PuPu then dematerializes the fallen brutes with his starship's vaporization beam, thereby proving that they were the result of matter replication technology. It seems evident now that Vanhudi has been using the vessel belonging to PuPu's friend to amass a fortune of duplicated gold. You are unsure if the long-lost alien is being deceived or coerced into helping the unscrupulous merchant, but Hildibrand is determined to mount a rescue either way...
9 5 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_SEQ_05 The time has come to confront Vanhudi. Wishing to reject the villain's latest business proposal in person, Godbert and Julyan suggest that you join them on the private airship being provided for their visit to the merchant's abode.

53 49 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_001 Our recent foray into Sharlayan revealed that PuPu's friend was in the company of a Hannish alchemist, yes?
54 50 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_002 As such, I was inspired to do some preliminary legwork here in Thavnair. I contacted my usual sources for local sightings of alien phenomena, but alas...they had none to share.
55 51 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_003 I have thus switched tactics and decided to track down this alchemist fellow instead. Surely someone will have heard the tale of an apothecary bold enough to set up shop on a Garlean battlefield?
56 52 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_004 The inspector and the others have been pursuing a similar line of inquiry, yet have found no leads here in the city or at the Great Work.
57 53 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_005 I believe they've moved their investigation to Yedlihmad, so I suggest we hurry over and join them. I cannot have that little blue man muddying the waters when we're so close to grasping his master plan!
58 54 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010 What else can you tell us about your long-lost comrade, Master PuPu?
59 55 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_011 Oh, my friend is an exceptional individual, capable of astounding feats that I could never accomplish without the help of my starship's equipment.
60 56 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_012 This port town would be an excellent place to analyze global trading trends...
61 57 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_015 I'll need an Arkasodara to lift those big ones...
62 58 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_016 One, two, three... Wait, let me check again.
63 59 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_017 This should be enough to last until the next shipment arrives...
64 60 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_020 I see the two of you are eager as ever to observe my inspectorial genius at work. Ah, the long-term fans are often the most ardent!
65 61 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_021 As a matter of fact, we were just about to continue our investigation into the alchemist we know to have been traveling with Master PuPu's comrade.
66 62 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_022 I-I mean...that is to say...I am merely following in the inspector's wake...
67 63 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_023 You needn't be so modest, my dear Inspector Brandihild!
68 64 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_024 'Tis wrong of me to comport myself as an equal to you all in any respect. For I am but a copy, and a flawed one at that...
69 65 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_025 Stuff and nonsense! Clone or not, self-deprecation is unbecoming in a Manderville man!
70 66 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_026 Exactly! The things you can do are <Emphasis>amazing</Emphasis>!
71 67 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_027 Oh, I don't know about that...
72 68 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_028 'Twas you who saved <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> from certain doom, was it not? While not quite as alacritous as mine, your rapid reasoning is nevertheless quite effective!
73 69 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_029 'Tis kind of you to accept me, rough edges and all. I only hope my meager contributions are of some small assistance.
74 70 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_030 Too modest by half. I'd say his mental faculties far surpass those of the original...
75 71 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_031 That's enough chin-wagging amongst ourselves, I think. Let us spread out and learn what the locals know of this adventurous apothecary!
76 72 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_040 If I may, are you perchance acquainted with any reckless alchemists...?
77 73 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_041 Zzz... Inspector Brandihild... A blocky man of quality...
78 74 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_042 How fare your inquiries?
79 75 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_043 Perhaps if I emulated Inspector Hildibrand's cavalier attitude, I could be of greater use in our investigations...
80 76 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_044 Inspector Brandihild is possessed of a brilliant mind. If he were willing to work for <Emphasis>The Thavnairian Truth</Emphasis>, I'd employ him in a heartbeat.
81 77 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_050 Hmmm. I know of many merchants who travel abroad to ply their wares, but none who have business in Garlemald.
82 78 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_051 You'd have to be mad or desperate indeed to consider setting up shop in that troubled land...
83 79 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_052 I mean, word is we've signed some kind of trade agreement with the Garleans, but it's still not the kind of place where one simply wanders in and opens a street stall.
84 80 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_060 Do I know any apothecaries? In Radz–at–Han? Of course, more than I can count.
85 81 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_061 I've not heard tell of anyone peddling such goods in the heart of the Empire, though. Seems like a terrible idea to me, what with civil war raging and the world almost ending.
86 82 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_062 The situation's improved in recent days, but even so, the Radiant Host still has to provide security for cargo shipments. A lone merchant trading there alone? Impossible.
87 83 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_070 Yes, I know the one of whom you speak. A fellow fisherman told me of a friend of his─an apothecary─who set off for war-torn Garlemald to sell his medicines.
88 84 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_071 A reckless fool, if you ask me. I've no interest in the affairs of such men. But you do, I take it?
89 85 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_072 If so, I suggest you head to Ussaqeyiq and hear the tale for yourself. Look for a red-haired lad there gathering shellfish.
90 86 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADMAN04718_000_080 Sorry, I wish I could help you, but I think I'd remember if someone mentioned a trading venture in Garlemald.
91 87 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADWOMAN04718_000_081 Who would go gallivanting amidst the ruin of a fallen empire replete with unknown hazards for the sake of selling a few potions? No one I know, I'll tell you that much.
92 88 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_YEDLIHMADFISHER04718_000_082 Are you familiar with Ussaqeyiq? It's a little island just outside town. Find the redheaded lad there and he'll have a story for you.
93 89 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_090 Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I hope your questioning has borne fresher fruit than mine...
94 90 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_091 Oho, a good friend of the alchemist in question, you say? Then let us gather the troops and pay a visit to this felicitous fisherman.
95 91 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_100 ...The story of my apothecary friend? Oh, you must mean Baharasaf. Well, I was near enough to calling it a day anyway, so here's what I can tell you...
96 92 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_101 Baharasaf comes from a very poor family and, growing up, never had much in the way of money or possessions. I suppose those experiences are what led to his lifelong obsession with gaining wealth.
97 93 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_102 After trying his hand at a succession of trades, he decided alchemy would earn him the most gil...but his stock never sold as well as he hoped.
98 94 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_103 So when he heard about the internal strife in Garlemald, he saw it as a golden opportunity. Surely the middle of a war was the best place to sell medicines!
99 95 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_104 Heh. More like the best place for near-death experiences. He soon gave up on his Garlemald venture─but while one would have expected him to return lamenting his ill fortune, Baharasaf was practically euphoric when I saw him again. A “gods-given blessing” he'd found in the snowfields had given him much cause to celebrate.
100 96 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_105 He said he'd learned how to create <Emphasis>gold</Emphasis>. I must admit, I laughed at first...
101 97 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_106 But then he showed me a gleaming mountain of the stuff─enough to proclaim himself a merchant prince. He even changed his name to “Vanhudi,” a word which brings to mind the bounty of the divine.
102 98 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_107 A name I have heard! He's the rising star in the markets, is he not? The one snapping up commercial ventures left and right?
103 99 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_108 Yes, “Vanhudi” has certainly made his ambitions known here in Thavnair, especially when he attempted to purchase the entire port of Yedlihmad.
104 100 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_109 The dockmasters declined to sell, of course, but when it comes to buying historic landmarks, a bottomless purse can open surprising doors. Last I heard, he'd converted the Gilded Araya into a private abode, and has been filling it with every rare treasure his gold can secure.
105 101 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_110 He pays out particularly large sums for artworks depicting the goddess Asura... I remember him being a fervent worshiper of Hers, even as a child.
106 102 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_111 I've encountered much Manusya and Mrga lore in Radz–at–Han, yet I recall no mention of this “Asura.”
107 103 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_112 Well, that's hardly surprising. As a deity of war, She is not well loved by the commonfolk.
108 104 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_113 Baharasaf is different, though. He sees life as a constant battle to amass wealth, and it is to Asura whom he prays for victory.
109 105 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_114 And damn me if She didn't listen! That once-poor boy became merchant royalty, a man far too rich and important now to afford more than a fleeting moment for simple fishermen─even those who were once dear friends...
110 106 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_PEACEFULFISHER_000_115 Ahem. If you'll excuse me, I really must leave it at that─these clams won't sell themselves, you know.
111 107 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_116 How about that, eh! Our sought-after apothecary and the upstart merchant prince were one and the same.
112 108 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_117 Might we assume the “blessing” he stumbled upon in Garlemald was a certain alien craft and its occupant...?
113 109 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_ARKASODARA04799_000_118 (-Interrupting Arkasodara-)Sorry to intrude, but aren't you the hero who helped us when folk were turning into beasts?
114 110 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_ARKASODARA04799_000_119 (-Interrupting Arkasodara-)Well, some nasty-looking creature just showed up outside town. One of our guards went to confront it, but I don't like her odds against that...thing.
115 111 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_120 This sounds like a case for Inspector Hildibrand! Come, friends, let us investigate forthwith!
116 112 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_300 I th-thought you destroyed that monster!
117 113 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_TOWNGARDLEADER04799_000_301 I have the situation under control, citizens! This individual bears a strong resemblance to a known fugitive, so I thought it prudent to investigate.
118 114 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_TOWNGARDLEADER04799_000_302 Regrettably, he has proven less than forthcoming with answers...
119 115 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_303 How many times must we teach you the same lesson, shiny skull man!?
120 116 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEA_000_304 Lesson? What are you on about...?
121 117 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEA_000_305 Bah, cease this babbling and get out of my way! Lord Vanhudi's orders are to cause trouble at the port, and I'm running behind schedule!
122 118 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_TOWNGARDLEADER04799_000_306 Vanhudi!? The merchant who tried to buy Yedlihmad? So <Emphasis>he</Emphasis> put you up to this!
123 119 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEA_000_307 Curses! How did you manage to deduce our dastardly plan!?
124 120 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_308 You just...you blurted it out...
125 121 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEA_000_309 Silence! No one who learns of our scheme can be suffered to live! Prepare to be squashed, meddlesome worms!
126 122 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_310 Three more sinister skull-men! Was the doctor a quadruplet...?
127 123 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_311 M-Mother!?
128 124 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEB_000_312 Vexatious vermin! This will soften you up!
129 125 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEB_000_313 Bah! A lucky hit!
130 126 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEB_000_314 One last pitch!
131 127 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_LUGAEB_100_314 But that was my fastbaaaaaaaaaaaall!
132 128 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_315 I've come to expect Father's sudden appearances, but what brings you here, Mother?
133 129 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_JULYAN_000_316 A proposition from that merchant Vanhudi, as a matter of fact. I'm accompanying yer dad as a manager for Manderville & Manderville, and we were just on our way to the bloke's mansion.
134 130 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_GODBERT_000_317 I've already refused Master Vanhudi once before when he tried to buy out our commercial empire.
135 131 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_GODBERT_000_318 This time, however, the deal concerns off-loading a quantity of gold at wholesale prices. 'Tis quite an attractive offer considering fine jewelry is our stock-in-trade, and we thought to at least listen to his proposal.
136 132 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_GODBERT_000_319 But if he would purposefully command his lackeys to disturb the peace of a public port...
137 133 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_JULYAN_000_320 We can't do business with a thug like that. Absolutely not.
138 134 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_321 Where did all those lackeys come from in the first place? Is there a “hulking weaponized brute” manufactory around here somewhere?
139 135 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_322 As I suspected. My ship's vaporization beam is configured to expunge only replicated matter.
140 136 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_323 So you can copy inorganic materials as well. How...interesting.
141 137 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_324 Once the matter duplication facility has analyzed an object's molecular structure, it can generate any number of copies.
142 138 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_325 Yet it cannot create matter from nothing─a requisite supply of aether must be on hand to facilitate the process.
143 139 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_326 Cor, you sure do know a lot about a lot, Inspector Brandihild! Even alien starships!
144 140 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_327 'Tis no great achievement. As I've mentioned, the gaps in my knowledge were patched with data from the starship's own archives, which included the vessel's full schematics and functions...
145 141 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_328 Assuming I understand this correctly... Is it possible Vanhudi is using the repaired alien craft to replicate piles and piles of gold?
146 142 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_329 We share the same suspicion, Master Delion. To my knowledge, no other method exists that can reliably produce precious metals.
147 143 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_330 O-Of course! 'Tis the obvious conclusion!
148 144 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_331 That being the case, one might further assume that Vanhudi is either threatening or deceiving Master PuPu's comrade in order to gain access to the vessel's superior technology.
149 145 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_332 Our course of action is clear! We march right up to this gold-spawner's front door and demand the release of his extraterrestrial hostage!
150 146 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_340 That was a smashing hit, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
151 147 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_KOYOKOYO_000_341 All this talk of threats and deceit has me worried...
152 148 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_DELION_000_342 The inspector's mother is as monstrously strong as the Manderville men. Except...that doesn't make any sense...
153 149 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_BRADIHILND_000_343 I am given to understand that, while identical in appearance, the craft belonging to Master PuPu's comrade is equipped with more advanced technology.
154 150 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_GODBERT_000_344 I was hesitant to put stock in the unsavory rumors I'd heard, but this unprovoked attack on the port would seem to be incontrovertible proof of Vanhudi's villainy...
155 151 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_JULYAN_000_345 Good to see you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. And good to see yer still keepin' company with our darlin' boy!
156 152 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_JULYAN_000_346 That blocky lad a new friend of yers? Smooth off the edges and he'd be the spittin' image of our Hildy.
157 153 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_HILDIBRAND_000_350 We must confront this malicious merchant at once!
158 154 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_GODBERT_000_351 If your heart's set on confrontation, then you may as well come with us. Vanhudi's invitation included a private airship flight to his new estate.
159 155 TEXT_CHRHDB851_04799_JULYAN_000_352 Aye, we still need to formally reject his deal anyways, and his pilot will be waitin'.
