10TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_00Iola is filled with gratitude towards you.
21TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_01According to Iola, the new merchandise you helped develop should allow the Iron Bellows to operate comfortably for the foreseeable future. While the forgemaster considers how best to repay your assistance, she mentions that Eismon was over at the Wandering Stairs and seemed eager to speak with you. Something about a celebration...?
32TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_02You locate Eismon, and learn that the artisans are indeed planning to celebrate the forge's recent revival. As part of the festivities, they'd hoped to reclaim the ring Iola's father lost, but the moneylender in question is demanding more coin than they could possibly repay. Nee Marn, however, has a proposal involving the creation of another ring, and a dash of Nu Mou mischief. Synthesize an enchanting ring, and deliver it to Eismon's waiting hands. ※In the event you lose the materials or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Nee Marn's familiar.
43TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_03You deliver the enchanting ring to Eismon. The time has come to attempt the trade with Walden at Musica Universalis.
54TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_04With you at his side, Eismon approaches Walden, and offers to trade your crafted ring for Iola's keepsake. The moneylender balks at first, but after seeing the ring's exceptional quality, he soon changes his tune. Eismon returns to the Wandering Stairs, the surprise gift for Iola clutched tightly in his fist.
65TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_05Once the celebrations are underway, Eismon presents the reclaimed ring to Iola on behalf of his Iron Bellows colleagues. For her part, Iola is overcome with emotion, and embraces her artisans as the family she's long been missing. Speak to the forgemaster in the aftermath of the festivities.
76TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SEQ_06Iola once more expresses her gratitude for your tireless assistance, and assures you that the forge now has enough momentum to continue under its own steam. And if trouble does rear its head, the forgemaster is confident that she can handle it with the help of her three eccentric artisans. Should you ever find yourself missing the peculiar family at the Iron Bellows, Iola urges you to come and pay them a visit.

4948TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_001After sitting down and tallying up the profit from our various ventures, I'd say we have sufficient funds to keep the Bellows running comfortably for quite some time. Truly, your goods have brought in a small fortune.
5049TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_002Yet I still haven't thought of a proper way to thank you... While I'm busy with that, why don't you visit with Eismon? He mentioned wanting to have a word with you.
5150TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_003I've noticed him sneaking about, trying to arrange a celebration with you and our clients, so I'm guessing he needs your help with the preparations.
5251TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_004Mwahaha! Nothing gets past me! In my forge, I see *everything* my artisans do...or don't do, for that matter.
5352TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_005Last I saw, Eismon was over at the Wandering Stairs. Assuming you're of a mind to speak to him...
5453TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_050Oh, Player, we've been looking for you. I have a favor to ask you...
5554TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_Q1_000_000What will you say?
5655TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_A1_000_001Celebration preparations?
5756TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_A1_000_002Yes, Iola told me...
5857TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_052Wait, what!? It was supposed to be a surprise!
5958TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_053Iola's head might be filled with figures and finances, but she's got a sharp eye. Should I bop her with my hammer so she forgets what we're up to?
6059TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_054Someone ought to bop *you* with a hammer, you uncultured brute.
6160TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_055Come now, Eismon, spit it out. Was there not something *specific* you wished to share concerning the upcoming festivities?
6261TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_056Oh, yes, of course. Part of our plan was to surprise Iola with a gift─something near and dear to her heart─but we're having trouble, uh, *acquiring* the item in question.
6362TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_057He's talking about the ring Iola's father lost to that bastard moneylender. The three of us have been working our fingers to the bone this past while, scrimping and saving what we could, all so we'd have the coin to buy it back.
6463TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_058Once we'd deemed our purse sufficiently hefty, we paid a visit to this nefarious usurer─a shifty fellow by the name of “Walden.”
6564TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_059Yet even after we paid the villain his due, he refused to surrender the ring. Apparently we'd failed to account for the “interest” accrued in the intervening years. A patently absurd amount...
6665TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_060We're at a loss as to what to do next. I was hoping someone as well traveled as you might have some advice to give.
6766TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_061Am I too early? I'm too early. <snort> I don't get invited to a lot of parties with people...
6867TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_062...You seem troubled. Is there a problem with the celebrations?
6968TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_063So you paid this man a fair price, but he did not honor the trade? Demanded more from you?
7069TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_064We of the Nu Mou frown upon deals where the balance of value swings too far in one side's favor. <snort> This Walden fellow sounds in need of a lesson in equilibrium...
7170TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_065Oh, I'd love to teach him a lesson, but the only one I can think of is like to leave me covered in blood and arrested by the guard...
7271TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_066Let us not attempt anything rash─'twould only add to Iola's woes. Still, I'm afraid a *civilized* approach has already failed to persuade that unmannered churl to part with the ring.
7372TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_067<snort> No violence will be necessary, my friends. I have an idea.
7473TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_068This is your moment to shine, Player. I'm going to supply you with some materials─use them to make a ring of finest quality, then give it to Eismon.
7574TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_069I realize this is all very mysterious, but I ask that you trust me. Everything will be explained soon enough.
7675TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_070Did you catch up with Eismon? He was headed to the Wandering Stairs, last I heard.
7776TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_075What a bloody mess...
7877TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_080Confound it all...
7978TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_100I'll just...stand around here. Until the ring is ready.
8079TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_101Oh, well that didn't take near as long as I thought it would. That's beautiful work, Player.
8180TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_102So, Nee Marn... What exactly *is* the plan for this ring?
8281TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_103The materials I provided to Player were prepared with a minor enchantment. Walden will be so taken with *our* ring that he'll be willing to offer Iola's ring in trade.
8382TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_104What, just like that?
8483TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_105I have doubts as well, but I say we give it a try.
8584TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_106Right, then, let's pay another visit to Walden. Will you come along, Player? He should be lurking around Musica Universalis.
8685TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_110Did you meet with Eismon?
8786TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_116Did you run into difficulties forging the ring? Not to worry, I have some materials in reserve...
8887TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_115A ring, a ring, a wondrous thing, when its metal band hides a Nu Mou's sting!♪
8988TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_120I don't know what's going on, but I'm keeping a hammer handy. Just in case.
9089TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_125We can but trust in the Nu Mou's sense of fairness. I am curious as to what mischief the flying pig has in mind...
9190TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_150Eh? Back so soon?
9291TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_151We came for the ring, Walden. We already paid you a fair price for its return.
9392TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_152Let me spell it out for you again, boy: no money, no ring. You'll get naught but curses till you cough up the interest what's owed me!
9493TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_153We don't have that kind of money, but we do have another ring you might be interested in. Care to trade?
9594TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_154Trade!? Do I look like a flea market to you!? I only deal in cold, hard coin!
9695TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_155Oh? Maybe you should inspect the quality of the goods before you make up your mind. Here, see how it glitters?
9796TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_156W-Well, ain't that a pretty little thing! I had no idea such beauty still existed in this world. It's just so...precious!
9897TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_157I had a feeling you would appreciate the, uh, the *craftsmanship*.
9998TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_158Aye, it ain't often I get me hands on a proper treasure like this one... You've got yourself a deal, boy. Here, take your bleedin' ring─go on, take it!
10099TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_159A pleasure doing business with you.
101100TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_WALDEN_000_160Hee hee! Enjoy your worthless old antique. There's only one ring I care about now!
102101TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_161The way his eyes lit up was almost disturbing. Just what kind of spell did Nee Marn weave into those materials...?
103102TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_162Well, we'd best be getting back to the others. The festivities aren't going to prepare themselves.
104103TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_165You've made the ring, exactly as I asked. Just be sure Walden sees it, and everything will turn out for the best. I promise you.
105104TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_170Aye, that's Walden. I *really* hate the part where he yells at me. I could do without the yelling...
106105TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_200A strange business, that, but at least we have the ring Iola wanted. Now we can celebrate without a care!
107106TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_201...Although we should probably finish up the preparations before the guests arrive.
108107TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_202Ahem. Iola, we have a gift for you.
109108TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_203Oooh, a gift! Is it flowers? Some sweet treat from the markets?
110109TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_204Hah! As if you'd want something as pointless as that!
111110TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_205...Indeed.
112111TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_206Ahahaha! Aye, I'd rather a sack of coins than some smelly bouquet!
113112TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_207Not a sack of coins, I'm afraid...but it is a precious metal.
114113TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_208Oh, Eismon, are you proposing? I know I'm pretty for a smithy, but this is all too sudden...
115114TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_209...Just a damn moment. Th-That's my father's ring! Where...? *How*!?
116115TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_210We weren't able to stand by you when the Bellows needed us most, so we got back the thing you most wanted instead.
117116TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_211Fittingly, your efforts to revive the forge were the reason we could earn enough money to buy that trinket back in the first place─that, and a dash of Player's exceptional craftsmanship.
118117TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_212I don't know what to say except...thank you. I'd thought myself alone since my father died, but it seems I do have family around me after all.
119118TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_213<snort> And now we see the girl behind the forgemaster's mask. A bittersweet day.
120119TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_214It's certainly been an interesting one. Speaking of which, you never did tell us what kind of enchantment you put on the moneylender's new ring. He all but snatched it out of my hand...
121120TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_100_215Ah, that was naught magical─his desire for the ring was born entirely of mundane greed. I knew that an avaricious wretch such as Walden would soon see the value of Player's craft.
122121TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_215My contribution was far less innocuous─a little curse of misfortune, to punish his unfair weighting of the scales. That man's financial luck is about to take a decidedly ugly turn for the worse.
123122TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_216You needn't look so worried─I would never weave curses upon an upstanding trading partner such as you. Keep the balance, and all will be well between us.
124123TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_NEEMARN_000_220Your efforts were successful, yes?
125124TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_225Huh, you got the ring back. I don't put much stock in wispy magicks you can't even see, but they seemed to have worked on Walden.
126125TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_230I only hope that winning the ring back counts for something against the balance I owe Iola's family.
127126TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_250It's good to see you, Player. All that excitement has left me feeling positively drained.
128127TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_251All that proper food has left *me* feeling unusually full.
129128TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_252Ugh, well I feel like someone's been using my head for an anvil. Don't remember much after that tenth tankard...
130129TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_253Shall I remind you, then? In your inebriation, you deemed it necessary to initiate a brawl with our Zun guest. The tavernkeep will be sending a bill for the destruction you caused to his establishment.
131130TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_254You might have stopped her instead of making wagers on the outcome, Rend. Tell me why I rehired you people again?
132131TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_255...I suppose the answer to that is right in front of me. I still can't believe you managed to prise it from Walden's grubby hands.
133132TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_256We couldn't have done it without Player and Nee Marn.
134133TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_257Aye, thank you again, Player. You've been there for me every step of the way.
135134TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_258From here on in, I think I can keep the Bellows running under its own steam. And if there's any trouble, I have these three miscreants to help me deal with it.
136135TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_259You've left us in a good place, Player, but know you're welcome to come and visit any time you like.
137136TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_IOLA_000_260And don't forget to take your payment─you've certainly earned it!
138137TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_COLANA_000_265Head, pounding... Belly, churning... No, dinner, stay down!
139138TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SUEREND_000_270Colana can cover a disgustingly large area with her putrid retching. Thankfully, I always have several changes of clothes on hand...
140139TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_EISMON_000_275I don't think I've ever seen Iola cry before...
141140TEXT_LUCKLA103_03229_SYSTEM_000_300Iola is ecstatic over your efforts. She now considers you the **Iron Bellows' Savior**!
