1,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_01","Inspector's Log:
The Case of the Silent Correspondent was, albeit only briefly, superseded by the Case of the Misappropriated Mandragora! 'Twas during this misadventure that our merry band was joined by Inspector Brandihild─an unpolished clone of mine whose uncanny capacity for calculations allowed us to locate the remnant of a crashed starship in Garlemald. Yet so preoccupied were we with this discovery that I failed to notice the abduction of my loyal assistant! The <Emphasis>audacity</Emphasis> to commit such a dastardly deed in my proximity! But fear not, gentle reader, for Father and I were swift to confront and chastise the villain responsible and free Nashu from captivity. Thus reunited, we once more return to the task of tracking down Master PuPu's elusive companion...
　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*
Inspector Brandihild was seemingly able to use the recovered scrap of wreckage to surmise the starship's current condition, concluding that the vessel would be incapable of flight. Delion, meanwhile, has brought his singular power of conspiracy detection to bear and developed a theory as to who cleared away the crashed craft and its pilot. Naturally, he would love nothing more than to share his conclusion with you, but decides it would be better to join Hildibrand and the others in Kama, that he need not explain himself twice."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_02","You arrive at the party's borrowed room to find PuPu has fallen ill. Thankfully, Brandihild's knowledge of alien physiology allows him to formulate a cure, the ingredients for which are mostly stored aboard PuPu's starship. As for the remaining materials, you have been tasked with acquiring a liver from one of the kacchapa which roam Saltwind's Welcome, whilst Hildibrand and the others are to go in search of the unappetizingly named dampshroom."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_03","Acquiring the tortoise liver proves a simple affair, as you have a long and storied history of relieving fauna of their vital organs. If Brandihild assumes correctly, however, your companions over at the Great Work may yet need help in obtaining the rare fungus."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_04","As predicted, the dampshroom proves too rare for even the alchemists to have in stock. But your quest is seemingly saved by the serendipitous arrival of a dealer in exotic reagents, who bids you meet him on the Perfumed Rise for a completely innocent and not-at-all suspicious arrangement sure to benefit all parties involved."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_05","As your comrades resign themselves to purchasing the dampshroom for an absurd price, a pair of Radiant city guards appear and arrest the reagent dealer for the crime of swindling the hopelessly naive and ignorant. The authorities are kind enough to let you have the confiscated (and apparently worthless) reagent free of charge, and observing this, the swindler decries the man he blames for driving him to a life of iniquity: Vanhudi. This rising star among the merchant princes has recently added many smaller businesses to his growing empire, and in the process put quite a few Hannish out of work. Of course, these circumstances are of no moment, for the present concern is spiriting the fungus and liver in your possession to Brandihild."
6,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_06","With your ingredients and the ailing PuPu, Brandihild heads outside and ascends into the alien's starship. The pair descends some moments later, the clone's concocted remedy having successfully delivered PuPu from the cold's deathly grasp. No sooner has the extraterrestrial assured the group of his complete recovery, however, when you are attacked by the vengeful Lugae. While the cackling villain has improved his tactics, the ensuing battle ends much the same as before, with the gleaming skull sent rocketing away at high velocity. Now that PuPu is well again, the party reopens the Case of the Silent Correspondent and, encouraged by Delion's shaky hypothesis, sets its sights upon the distant shores of Sharlayan."

49,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_001","Do you recall that scrap of alien starship we recovered?"
50,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_002","Well, Inspector Brandihild has employed his unsettling calculative capacity to extrapolate the damage to the greater whole, and he has concluded that the vessel would be incapable of flight without extensive repairs."
51,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_003","Our most likely scenario, then, is that some unknown agent made off with the starship wreckage─along with PuPu's acquaintance."
52,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_004","Fortunately, I have a fair idea who that “unknown agent” might be! After all, there is a singularly shadowy cabal with a history of concealing extraterrestrial activity..."
53,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_005","Actually, let's head over to Kama first. The inspector and the others are staying in a dwelling there, and I'd rather not explain myself twice."
54,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010","Oh, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I'm so worried for Master PuPu!"
55,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_011","This may not be the best time to share my conclusions..."
56,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_012","A most terrible development..."
57,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_PARIGHA_000_013","Nashu and her friends will be staying here a while longer, it seems. I do hope it's not my house that has brought them all this bad luck..."
58,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_020","'Tis horrible misfortune, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Calamitous, even! Poor Master PuPu has fallen gravely ill!"
59,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_021","He's so bluish green... More so, I mean."
60,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_022","Could he have caught a cold? I suppose it was quite chilly up there in Garlemald."
61,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_023","PuPu is an <Emphasis>alien</Emphasis>. Who knows what extraterrestrial diseases might be ravaging his body!"
62,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_024","Nashu's delights are the best medicine for whatever ails you, as the inspector himself can attest!"
63,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_025","Good gods, Nashu, you'll blow our host's domicile to pieces! Put them away!"
64,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_026","Ahem, if I may...? When I was cloned from the inspector, certain gaps in my knowledge were “patched” with supplementary data from the starship's archives."
65,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_027","This information included an encyclopedic understanding of Master PuPu's physiology, which should be sufficient for me to diagnose his condition."
66,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_028","A xeno-man hybrid mind... That explains the impossible calculations."
67,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_029","I have it! Master PuPu is afflicted by a terrible case of...the common cold!"
68,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_030","Gods grant me strength..."
69,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_031","As a visitor to Etheirys, Master PuPu has no prior exposure to our maladies. He is thus particularly susceptible to infection, and more likely to experience severe symptoms."
70,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_032","Ah hah! 'Tis just as I surmised! We must put aside the case until we have nursed our stricken companion back to health."
71,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_033","But even if it is a common cold, isn't there a risk that our medicines do him more harm than good?"
72,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_034","They almost certainly would. Based on the results of my analysis, however, I believe I can synthesize an effective remedy. We need but gather the ingredients."
73,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_035","Then ingredients you shall have! So...what are we gathering exactly?"
74,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_036","Most of what we require can be drawn from Master PuPu's collected samples. Otherwise, there are only two which we lack."
75,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_037","The first of these is the liver of a giant tortoise─a suitable organ can be extracted from one of the kacchapa which wander Saltwind's Welcome."
76,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_038","Ah, the slaughtering of a monstrous opponent. That sounds like a job for <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!"
77,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_039","The other material in question is a rare fungus known as “dampshroom,” which I am hoping can be found among the Great Work's extensive stock of alchemical reagents."
78,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_040","Very well! Nashu, Delion, and I will scour the alchemists' shelves! Meanwhile, I would ask that you remain here and keep an eye on our ailing patient."
79,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_041","Inspector Brandihild, you're such an expert on all things Thavnair!"
80,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_042","Oh, I wouldn't say “expert.” Simple conclusions from simple observations, nothing more..."
81,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_043","A-As I said, I am hoping the alchemists have the dampshroom we need, but it really is quite rare."
82,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_044","Once you have the tortoise liver, would you be so kind as to assist the others in procuring the fungus?"
83,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_045","Then let us not prolong Master PuPu's suffering a moment longer!"
84,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_046","It seems we have a job to do. Further discussion of the abduction will have to wait."
85,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_050","Obtaining a kacchapa's liver should prove no great obstacle to one of your capabilities, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. 'Tis the dampshroom which concerns me..."
86,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_060","Who knew a “lampshroom” would be so difficult to find..."
87,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_061","Your mission was successful, I assume? Ours is...ongoing."
88,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_070","Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I had every confidence you would bring us a suitable liver. Alas, the “dankshroom” yet eludes us."
89,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_071","The alchemists said the fungus has few applications, so they don't bother to stock it most of the time."
90,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_072","Then I must put my keen inspector's sense to work! Stand back whilst I attune myself with the essence of the dank..."
91,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_073","Damp. The word is “dampshroom.” And you'll forgive me if I have no faith in your abilities..."
92,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_074","'Tis close, my friends! And getting closer and closer even as we speak!"
93,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_075","I hear you folk are in the market for dampshrooms. I might have some to sell, if you're interested...?"

95,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_076","We certainly are, my fine fellow!"
96,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_077","Right then, if you'll give me a moment to retrieve the goods, we can finalize our transaction up on the Perfumed Rise."
97,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_078","Was it genuine clairvoyance, or sheer coincidence? I'm not sure anymore."
98,"TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_079","Though in all fairness, when it comes to Inspector Hildibrand, preternatural perception is one of his least baffling “talents.”"

4 0 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_00 Delion is trembling with barely contained enthusiasm.
5 1 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_01 Inspector's Log: The Case of the Silent Correspondent was, albeit only briefly, superseded by the Case of the Misappropriated Mandragora! 'Twas during this misadventure that our merry band was joined by Inspector Brandihild─an unpolished clone of mine whose uncanny capacity for calculations allowed us to locate the remnant of a crashed starship in Garlemald. Yet so preoccupied were we with this discovery that I failed to notice the abduction of my loyal assistant! The <Emphasis>audacity</Emphasis> to commit such a dastardly deed in my proximity! But fear not, gentle reader, for Father and I were swift to confront and chastise the villain responsible and free Nashu from captivity. Thus reunited, we once more return to the task of tracking down Master PuPu's elusive companion... 　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　* Inspector Brandihild was seemingly able to use the recovered scrap of wreckage to surmise the starship's current condition, concluding that the vessel would be incapable of flight. Delion, meanwhile, has brought his singular power of conspiracy detection to bear and developed a theory as to who cleared away the crashed craft and its pilot. Naturally, he would love nothing more than to share his conclusion with you, but decides it would be better to join Hildibrand and the others in Kama, that he need not explain himself twice.
6 2 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_02 You arrive at the party's borrowed room to find PuPu has fallen ill. Thankfully, Brandihild's knowledge of alien physiology allows him to formulate a cure, the ingredients for which are mostly stored aboard PuPu's starship. As for the remaining materials, you have been tasked with acquiring a liver from one of the kacchapa which roam Saltwind's Welcome, whilst Hildibrand and the others are to go in search of the unappetizingly named dampshroom.
7 3 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_03 Acquiring the tortoise liver proves a simple affair, as you have a long and storied history of relieving fauna of their vital organs. If Brandihild assumes correctly, however, your companions over at the Great Work may yet need help in obtaining the rare fungus.
8 4 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_04 As predicted, the dampshroom proves too rare for even the alchemists to have in stock. But your quest is seemingly saved by the serendipitous arrival of a dealer in exotic reagents, who bids you meet him on the Perfumed Rise for a completely innocent and not-at-all suspicious arrangement sure to benefit all parties involved.
9 5 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_05 As your comrades resign themselves to purchasing the dampshroom for an absurd price, a pair of Radiant city guards appear and arrest the reagent dealer for the crime of swindling the hopelessly naive and ignorant. The authorities are kind enough to let you have the confiscated (and apparently worthless) reagent free of charge, and observing this, the swindler decries the man he blames for driving him to a life of iniquity: Vanhudi. This rising star among the merchant princes has recently added many smaller businesses to his growing empire, and in the process put quite a few Hannish out of work. Of course, these circumstances are of no moment, for the present concern is spiriting the fungus and liver in your possession to Brandihild.
10 6 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_SEQ_06 With your ingredients and the ailing PuPu, Brandihild heads outside and ascends into the alien's starship. The pair descends some moments later, the clone's concocted remedy having successfully delivered PuPu from the cold's deathly grasp. No sooner has the extraterrestrial assured the group of his complete recovery, however, when you are attacked by the vengeful Lugae. While the cackling villain has improved his tactics, the ensuing battle ends much the same as before, with the gleaming skull sent rocketing away at high velocity. Now that PuPu is well again, the party reopens the Case of the Silent Correspondent and, encouraged by Delion's shaky hypothesis, sets its sights upon the distant shores of Sharlayan.

52 48 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_000 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Eager to resume our investigations? I know I am.
53 49 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_001 Do you recall that scrap of alien starship we recovered?
54 50 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_002 Well, Inspector Brandihild has employed his unsettling calculative capacity to extrapolate the damage to the greater whole, and he has concluded that the vessel would be incapable of flight without extensive repairs.
55 51 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_003 Our most likely scenario, then, is that some unknown agent made off with the starship wreckage─along with PuPu's acquaintance.
56 52 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_004 Fortunately, I have a fair idea who that “unknown agent” might be! After all, there is a singularly shadowy cabal with a history of concealing extraterrestrial activity...
57 53 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_005 Actually, let's head over to Kama first. The inspector and the others are staying in a dwelling there, and I'd rather not explain myself twice.
58 54 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_010 Oh, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I'm so worried for Master PuPu!
59 55 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_011 This may not be the best time to share my conclusions...
60 56 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_012 A most terrible development...
61 57 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_PARIGHA_000_013 Nashu and her friends will be staying here a while longer, it seems. I do hope it's not my house that has brought them all this bad luck...
62 58 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_020 'Tis horrible misfortune, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Calamitous, even! Poor Master PuPu has fallen gravely ill!
63 59 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_021 He's so bluish green... More so, I mean.
64 60 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_022 Could he have caught a cold? I suppose it was quite chilly up there in Garlemald.
65 61 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_023 PuPu is an <Emphasis>alien</Emphasis>. Who knows what extraterrestrial diseases might be ravaging his body!
66 62 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_024 Nashu's delights are the best medicine for whatever ails you, as the inspector himself can attest!
67 63 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_025 Good gods, Nashu, you'll blow our host's domicile to pieces! Put them away!
68 64 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_026 Ahem, if I may...? When I was cloned from the inspector, certain gaps in my knowledge were “patched” with supplementary data from the starship's archives.
69 65 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_027 This information included an encyclopedic understanding of Master PuPu's physiology, which should be sufficient for me to diagnose his condition.
70 66 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_028 A xeno-man hybrid mind... That explains the impossible calculations.
71 67 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_029 I have it! Master PuPu is afflicted by a terrible case of...the common cold!
72 68 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_030 Gods grant me strength...
73 69 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_031 As a visitor to Etheirys, Master PuPu has no prior exposure to our maladies. He is thus particularly susceptible to infection, and more likely to experience severe symptoms.
74 70 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_032 Ah hah! 'Tis just as I surmised! We must put aside the case until we have nursed our stricken companion back to health.
75 71 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_033 But even if it is a common cold, isn't there a risk that our medicines do him more harm than good?
76 72 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_034 They almost certainly would. Based on the results of my analysis, however, I believe I can synthesize an effective remedy. We need but gather the ingredients.
77 73 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_035 Then ingredients you shall have! So...what are we gathering exactly?
78 74 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_036 Most of what we require can be drawn from Master PuPu's collected samples. Otherwise, there are only two which we lack.
79 75 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_037 The first of these is the liver of a giant tortoise─a suitable organ can be extracted from one of the kacchapa which wander Saltwind's Welcome.
80 76 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_038 Ah, the slaughtering of a monstrous opponent. That sounds like a job for <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>!
81 77 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_039 The other material in question is a rare fungus known as “dampshroom,” which I am hoping can be found among the Great Work's extensive stock of alchemical reagents.
82 78 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_040 Very well! Nashu, Delion, and I will scour the alchemists' shelves! Meanwhile, I would ask that you remain here and keep an eye on our ailing patient.
83 79 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_041 Inspector Brandihild, you're such an expert on all things Thavnair!
84 80 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_042 Oh, I wouldn't say “expert.” Simple conclusions from simple observations, nothing more...
85 81 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_043 A-As I said, I am hoping the alchemists have the dampshroom we need, but it really is quite rare.
86 82 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_044 Once you have the tortoise liver, would you be so kind as to assist the others in procuring the fungus?
87 83 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_045 Then let us not prolong Master PuPu's suffering a moment longer!
88 84 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_046 It seems we have a job to do. Further discussion of the abduction will have to wait.
89 85 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_050 Obtaining a kacchapa's liver should prove no great obstacle to one of your capabilities, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. 'Tis the dampshroom which concerns me...
90 86 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_060 Who knew a “lampshroom” would be so difficult to find...
91 87 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_061 Your mission was successful, I assume? Ours is...ongoing.
92 88 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_070 Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>, I had every confidence you would bring us a suitable liver. Alas, the “dankshroom” yet eludes us.
93 89 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_071 The alchemists said the fungus has few applications, so they don't bother to stock it most of the time.
94 90 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_072 Then I must put my keen inspector's sense to work! Stand back whilst I attune myself with the essence of the dank...
95 91 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_073 Damp. The word is “dampshroom.” And you'll forgive me if I have no faith in your abilities...
96 92 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_074 'Tis close, my friends! And getting closer and closer even as we speak!
97 93 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_075 I hear you folk are in the market for dampshrooms. I might have some to sell, if you're interested...?
98 94 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_077 B-But how...?
99 95 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_076 We certainly are, my fine fellow!
100 96 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_077 Right then, if you'll give me a moment to retrieve the goods, we can finalize our transaction up on the Perfumed Rise.
101 97 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_078 Was it genuine clairvoyance, or sheer coincidence? I'm not sure anymore.
102 98 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_079 Though in all fairness, when it comes to Inspector Hildibrand, preternatural perception is one of his least baffling “talents.”
103 99 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_080 In any case, we should hurry to the rise and take this man up on his timely offer.
104 100 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_090 Our quest for medicinal components nears its end. Stay strong, Master PuPu!
105 101 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_091 Zzz... The inspector... Saves the day... Again...
106 102 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_092 I wonder... Does this not strike you as a touch convenient, if not contrived?
107 103 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_200 Ah, you're here, good, good. And here is the dampshroom, as promised.
108 104 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_201 Oho, glad we are for your assistance...
109 105 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_202 Ah-tah-tah, not so fast. There is still the matter of payment.
110 106 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_203 Of course, of course. And how much do we owe you, my good man?
111 107 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_204 Considering the <Emphasis>extreme</Emphasis> rarity of the fungus in question, I couldn't let it go for less than...one million gil.
112 108 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_205 A <Emphasis>million</Emphasis> gil for one measly mushroom!? That's outright robbery!
113 109 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_206 A bargain, I counter─you would pay tenfold my price in the markets. I thought to do you a kindness in light of your urgent need, but I am more than willing to find another buyer if you wish to spit upon my generosity.
114 110 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_207 Nashu, how fare we for coin?
115 111 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_208 We're plumb out, Inspector!
116 112 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_209 Ah, then this is a prickly pickle. Where are we to obtain sufficient funds at such short notice...?
117 113 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
118 114 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_A1_000_001 <sigh> A million gil, was it...?
119 115 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_A1_000_002 I, uh...have an orchestrion roll collecting problem. Gotta buy 'em all. Spent the last of my savings on <Emphasis>Return to Oblivion</Emphasis>.
120 116 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_A1_000_003 Zzz... Zzz...
121 117 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_210 <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>─our savior in every sense of the word!
122 118 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_211 If that's the way of it, then I shall beg Father for the necessary amount. Saving Master PuPu's life is worth every gil!
123 119 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_100_211 (-???-)Give that man nothing!
124 120 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_212 (-Radiant Soldier-)We have you now, deceitful scum! Your swindling days are over!
125 121 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_213 Radz–at–Han city guard, at your service. We'd received reports of this man's questionable activities and have been keeping a close eye on him ever since.
126 122 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_214 Dampshroom is a rare find in the bazaar, to be sure, but only because there's no real demand for it. The price this charlatan quoted you was, quite frankly, ludicrous.
127 123 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_215 But thanks to your ignorance and poor judge of character, we were able to catch him in the act. As a token of our gratitude, you are welcome to keep the fungus...assuming you still want it?
128 124 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_216 Yes, very much so! That is very, er, magnanimous of you!
129 125 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_CHEATER04754_000_217 Bah, you think I enjoy tricking fools out of their coin? If that bastard hadn't declared my job “redundant,” I wouldn't have needed to stoop so low...
130 126 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_218 He blames a rising star among the merchant princes for his woes. Vanhudi, I believe his name was. Purchased the trading consortium where the man was working, which led to a “restructuring” of the hierarchy. Put a lot of people out of work.
131 127 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_219 Vanhudi, Vanhudi... I know that name. Something about an acquisitions deal gone sour? Father was willing to sell him a slice of his Hannish enterprise, I think, but balked when the man offered to buy our family business in its entirety.
132 128 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_220 Truly, there is no telling how deep the coffers of this Vanhudi are. Nor do any know the secret of how he amassed such kingly wealth so damnably fast.
133 129 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_221 There are whispers, though, that he's solved alchemy's oldest and most legendary of problems: the transmutation of base metal into gold.
134 130 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_RADIANT04754_000_222 Unlikely to say the least─but whatever the source of Vanhudi's riches, he shows no reluctance in spending them; he's bought a historic temple to serve as his home, and commissioned a private airship, among other extravagant expenditures. Nice for some, eh?
135 131 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_223 Cor, that swindling case had barely started before you solved it, Inspector!
136 132 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_224 Ah...hah hah hah! All in a day's work, my dear Nashu.
137 133 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_225 I believe our business upon this scented hill is concluded. Let us hurry the ingredients back to Inspector Brandihild, shall we?
138 134 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_226 (-Lugae-)I may have mollified His Lordship with the secrets of divine manifestation, but the stench of failure yet clings to me.
139 135 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_227 (-Lugae-)I must redeem myself in his eyes...by crushing my most-hated foe! Wee hee hee!
140 136 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_230 Your suffering nears its end, Master PuPu!
141 137 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_231 If Inspector Brandihild's remedy fails, we can always try my explosive cure-all!
142 138 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_232 After all that, we paid not a single gil for the dampshroom. The manifestation of such windfalls must be another facet of the inspector's uncannily good fortune...
143 139 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_300 Inspector Hildibrand tells me you have the liver to go along with his dampshroom...?
144 140 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_301 A fine specimen, thank you! I will be mixing the ingredients in the starship, so let us convey Master PuPu outside that we may administer his medicine as soon as it is ready.
145 141 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_400 This should be sufficiently remote. I'll have the craft come to us and we can commence the treatment...
146 142 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_KOYOKOYO_000_401 Oh, I feel so much better! I cannot thank you all enough!
147 143 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_402 Master PuPu recovered his strength in mere moments. 'Twould seem his powers of recuperation are just as advanced as his technology.
148 144 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_KOYOKOYO_000_403 I came here from another world─a stranger you've no cause to trust─and yet you've treated me so kindly. The people of this star are so very welcoming.
149 145 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_404 Hah, you are our dear friend now, Master PuPu! 'Tis our pleasure to help!
150 146 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_405 (-Lugae-)And it will be my pleasure to harm!
151 147 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_406 (-Lugae-)I'll not fall for the same trick twice!
152 148 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_407 (-Lugae-)Impudent worms! Taste my full power!
153 149 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_LUGAE_000_408 (-Lugae-)Not agaaaaaaaaaaaain!
154 150 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_409 You took the full force of that destructive beam, yet there you stand. Somewhat singed but apparently unharmed.
155 151 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_410 I've pondered and puzzled over this inexplicable fortitude of yours, and feel compelled to ask...
156 152 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_411 Are <Emphasis>you</Emphasis> an alien?
157 153 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_412 Ah hah hah, a fine jest. But I assure you, I am without a doubt an Ul'dahn-born Manderville of terrestrial Hyuran stock.
158 154 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_NASHUMHAKARACCA_000_413 He's Hildibrand, agent of enquiry and inspector extraordinaire! What more do you need to know?
159 155 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_414 Where to even begin...but never mind. We have more pressing matters...
160 156 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_415 Such as locating Master PuPu's missing comrade! 'Tis time we reopened the Case of the Silent Correspondent!
161 157 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_100_415 Yes, exactly!
162 158 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_416 And I have a firm theory as to who it was that took the wreckage and its erstwhile pilot...
163 159 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_417 The Sharlayans!
164 160 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_418 I'm all but certain they've allied with insidious extraterrestrials. Which means they'll be under orders to remove any evidence of alien activity!
165 161 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_DELION_000_419 I wager we'll find what we're looking for in Old Sharlayan─we need only infiltrate their operations and expose this nefarious conspiracy!
166 162 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_Q2_000_000 What will you say?
167 163 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_A2_000_001 The Sharlayans can't be bothered to formally ally with foreign nations, much less aliens. And the Loporrits don't count.
168 164 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_A2_000_002 Trust me, they'd sooner flee the star than attempt to subjugate it.
169 165 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_420 While Master Delion's theory does lack supporting facts, we have no other promising leads to pursue at present.
170 166 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_421 Moreover, I understand that Sharlayan sets the standard for monitoring astronomical and astrological phenomena. Mayhap their experts have been tracking extraterrestrial movements...
171 167 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_BRADIHILND_000_422 Ahem, I've spoken out of turn. Please, forgive my presumptuousness.
172 168 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_423 Nay, my friend. I, too, sense our path points to the isle of Archons.
173 169 TEXT_CHRHDB841_04754_HILDIBRAND_000_424 Pack your bags, everyone. We leave for Sharlayan immediately!
