4948TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_001I understand not wanting to fall behind, but rushing ahead risks playing into our opponents' hands. Let's not do anything reckless and think matters through!
5049TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_005This kind of feat is tailor-made for a rational, educated scholar like Koana.
5150TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_010So the Hanuhanu also *eat* the reeds? Yet another way in which they differ from the Vanu...
5251TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_015Not that I intend to gratify him with a response, but Bakool Ja Ja's provocations are hard to ignore.
5352TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ZANUHALI_000_020
5453TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_025I don't know the first thing about farming, but if there's a way to save the harvest and help the Hanu, then we're going to find it!
5554TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_026I'll make Bakool Ja Ja eat his words...
5655TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_027Understanding the nature of the problem will be the key to solving it. We need to examine the reeds themselves, and then deduce the cause of their poor condition.
5756TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_028Erenville, will you take us to the fields where the reeds are grown?
5857TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_029Of course. Follow me.
5958TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_030Look at these fields! Why, this could be a painting!
6059TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_035I know she wants to do her best, but she should be careful not to make promises she cannot keep.
6160TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_040I see. They irrigate the fields by diverting water from the neighboring river. 'Tis unlikely the reeds ever dry out...
6261TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_045And there I thought these feats would have us battling dire fiends or similar. Agriculture is a far thornier problem...
6362TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_050You can all stand back. I'll get to the bottom of this problem in no time!
6463TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_051Give me strength... Let's all of us scour the fields and help our bold leader identify anything unusual.
6564TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_060Hmmm...
6665TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_065Any luck?
6766TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_070Naught amiss with the paddies themselves as far as I can tell...
6867TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_075Oh, a water strider. A bit sluggish, though. More of a water shambler...
6968TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_076I'll find the cause of all this! Any moment now!
7069TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_SYSTEM_000_080As Zanuhali described, the reeds appear wilted and unhealthy.
7170TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_SYSTEM_000_081The water contains no obvious contaminants, and looks fresh and clear at a cursory glance.
7271TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_SYSTEM_000_082The soil in the paddies is as one would expect. Rich in color and suitably moist─not dry nor flaky.
7372TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_SYSTEM_000_083A small frog catches your eye. Strangely lackadaisical, it doesn't even bother to hop when it eventually scurries away.
7473TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_090Seen enough? I'll call everyone together, and we can share our discoveries!
7574TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_091Well, what do we think? Any obvious problems?
7675TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_092I agree─the waters look to be of good quality, as does the mud in which the reeds have been planted.
7776TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_093The frogs and insects are unusually torpid. This suggests the problem is affecting not only the reeds, but also the creatures which live among them.
7877TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_094Could something invisible to the naked eye be polluting the water?
7978TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_095We would need an alchemist to know for certain...
8079TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_096I don't have much to add about the fields...but something else occurs to me.
8180TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_097When you were describing how the creatures seemed lifeless...
8281TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_098I couldn't help but be reminded of all the listless villagers.
8382TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_099They've suffered a terrible tragedy, I know...but there is another reason for their flagging spirits, I believe.
8483TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_100Go on...
8584TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_101The festival! This is traditionally an occasion for celebration and renewal, so without it, the Hanu are struggling even more to recover!
8685TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_102The last time I visited, the village was in the middle of the festivities. You'll never see the Hanuhanu more joyful and alive!
8786TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_103It's an indispensable part of their culture, and its absence will only compound their woes. So I say we help them put on their festival─give them a reason to cheer in these sad times! Who knows? Maybe fixing one problem could lead us to a solution for the other!
8887TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_Q1_000_000What will you say?
8988TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_A1_000_001Stranger things have happened.
9089TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_A1_000_002I don't know about that...
9190TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_105Right!?
9291TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_106I fail to see the relation between festivals and fields...
9392TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_107Is it so strange an idea...?
9493TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_108I also fail to see the relation between festivals and fields...
9594TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_109Let's not be too hasty in dismissing the idea. Things which seem unrelated can later prove to be connected in surprising ways.
9695TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_110True. And being bereft of ideas as we are, any proposal is worth entertaining.
9796TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_111I... I suppose...
9897TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_112Besides, this is Wuk Lamat's journey. It's only right that we follow her lead.
9998TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_113Thanks, everyone!
10099TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_114By the way, does anyone know where the festival float is? It's like a boat woven from reeds that looks like a bird...
101100TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_115In that big building to the north? Let's go and see it!
102101TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_116There's much less debate when I'm traveling alone...
103102TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_120What a charming float. I wonder what bird was the inspiration for its design...
104103TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_125I've never been here during festival season, so this is all new to me, too.
105104TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_130The handles gave me pause before, but now I understand their purpose.
106105TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_135Look at the size of that thing. I hope they don't expect *me* to help carry it...
107106TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_140Yes, this is the float I remember!
108107TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_141Hm, does it not appear somewhat damaged to you...? We should take a closer look.
109108TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_SYSTEM_000_142Inspect the festival float. You may move the camera, as well as zoom in and out. Target a section and examine it in more detail with **.
110109TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_143
111110TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALISAIE_000_144
112111TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_145
113112TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_146Well, I think we can all agree this bird-boat is in dire need of repairs.
114113TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_147Now, how do we go about fixing it...?
115114TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_148(-Brusque Hanu-)What is going on here?
116115TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_149We were admiring your festival float. 'Tis a shame it's in such a poor state. Due to the recent storm, I gather?
117116TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_150(-Brusque Hanu-)Yes, we had to leave it exposed while we ushered our people to safety. With the float in this condition, there can be no Lifting of Wings. No Ihih'hana...
118117TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_151*Ihih'hana*! That's what the festival was called. I want to help you hold it!
119118TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_152(-Brusque Hanu-)Have you not seen our village? Homes are ruined, we're struggling to make repairs, and you want us to hold a harvest festival!?
120119TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_153I know how it sounds! But giving into misery never improved anyone's situation. A celebration of life and growth may help give you the strength to work through this tragedy!
121120TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_154(-Brusque Hanu-)The role of festival leader is mine this year, and there's nothing I would like more than to lift everyone's spirits...
122121TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_155(-Brusque Hanu-)But we don't even have enough materials to repair the float. We need abokixa for the missing eye, uyuipo wood for the poles, and feathers from the Wind's Chosen to adorn the tail.
123122TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_156Two of these I know─abokixa is a type of precious stone used in arcane equipment, and uyuipo wood is essential for crafting ceremonial instruments. These chosen feathers, however...
124123TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_157(-Brusque Hanu-)The Wind's Chosen is the victor of a competition in which the contestants see who can blow a feather the furthest using wind magicks. And that's something of a problem right now.
125124TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_158(-Brusque Hanu-)We Hanuhanu are gifted at employing such airy sorceries, but expend a great deal of mana when doing so. We are soon exhausted by the effort, and having no reeds to eat will only make it harder.
126125TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_159I think I understand. Your vibrant reeds grow quickly and vigorously─so much so that they stifle the development of nearby plants. They must be a potent source of the energies you naturally lack.
127126TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_160(-Brusque Hanu-)They are indeed. Owing to the poor harvest this year, we've been left enervated. And if we cannot gather the correct materials as dictated by custom, we cannot repair the festival float.
128127TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_161...Oddly enough, we may have just stumbled upon our solution.
129128TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_162The Wind's Chosen would, by necessity, have a natural gift for manipulating magical energies. Which means any feathers taken from the victor should be high in aetherial conductivity.
130129TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_163The float's construction also requires a stone used in arcane equipment, as well as timber favored for ceremonial tools. The demand for such specific materials must have an underlying reason...
131130TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_Q2_000_000What will you say?
132131TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_A2_000_001The float might also function as an arcane device.
133132TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_A2_000_002I'd wager the float is actually a secret weapon for smiting the Hanu's foes!
134133TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_A2_000_003Pray continue, Alphinaud.
135134TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_165Precisely what I was thinking. This boat of reeds is in fact an arcane focus of some kind.
136135TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_166So it does what? Unleash rays of searing light from its eyes or some such nonsense? Surely you jest...
137136TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_167While an intriguing supposition, I arrived at a slightly different conclusion. This boat of reeds is in fact an arcane focus of some kind.
138137TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_168I imagine you've already reached the same conclusion, but I believe this boat of reeds is in fact an arcane focus of some kind.
139138TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_169A focus? For what? ...Oh! Ihih'hana is a harvest festival, isn't it!?
140139TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_170That must mean the float was made to encourage healthy crops. So, if we repair the boat and hold the festival, its arcane powers might fix what's wrong with the reeds!
141140TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_171We won't know until we try, but 'tis a sound theory. Celebration, prayer, ritual ceremonies─these have all been known to elicit miraculous effects.
142141TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_172(-Brusque Hanu-)Wait, wait, wait. The float, a tool for *magic*? This is the first I'm hearing of it.
143142TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_173In the beginning, it may well not have been. After a good harvest year, there would be no reason to change it. But when the harvest was poor, new adornments were likely added, and those who performed the labor may have imbued their work with ardent hopes for a brighter future.
144143TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_174Through years of trial and error, the Hanu would have refined their festival float into a focus for harvest prayers.
145144TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_175Incredible.
146145TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_176I know you're practically fainting from hunger, but reviving Ihih'hana really does sound like the solution to all your woes. And I promise, we'll do everything in our power to help you!
147146TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_177(-Brusque Hanu-)I'm still not convinced about this focus business...but I accept your aid nonetheless. I will introduce you to the shipwright who's been maintaining the float these last few years.
148147TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_178(-Brusque Hanu-)He's replaced both the eyes and the poles before, so he should know where and how to procure what we need.
149148TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ALPHINAUD_000_179Then allow Alisaie and I to acquire the feathers. We will encourage the people of Ok'hanu to gather and vie for the title of Wind's Chosen by sharing with them our own reserves of mana.
150149TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_ERENVILLE_000_180I'll go with you. I carry some alchemical brews that may afford the same effect.
151150TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_181The three of us will visit the shipwright, then!
152151TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_182(-Brusque Hanu-)Not without me. I've worked hard to fix the float as best I can, and the responsibility is mine, after all.
153152TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_100_182I've...not introduced myself, have I? My name is Linuhanu.
154153TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_183Nice to meet you, Linuhanu. And certainly─let's all go together!
155154TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_WUKLAMAT_000_190We're making progress now! The solution to Ok'hanu's woes is as good as found!
156155TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_LINUHANU_000_195To find myself working alongside the Third Promise herself is...unexpected, to say the least.
157156TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_200Thanks to Wuk Lamat, we've found ourselves a promising way forward.
158157TEXT_KINGMA108_04867_KRILE_000_201Experience and knowledge are valuable assets, but there is something to be said for following one's instincts.
