40TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_00Alka Zolka appears to be on the point of setting out somewhere.
51TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_01You speak with Alka Zolka, who is pleased to see you again. He invites you to join him at a training session in upper La Noscea, where he will be meeting Surito Carito─and you agree, as one can never know too many martial tactics.
62TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_02You and Alka Zolka locate Surito Carito near the Wanderer's Palace, where you are shortly joined by Setoto. The plan to train in Nymian mariner stratagems is soon left by the wayside, however, once you relate your experiences in the First. The story of how Lamitt cured stoneblight, in particular, catches Surito Carito's attention, and he exclaims that he may have an idea by which the same principles might be applied in the curing of the Nymian plague. It would not do to neglect any possible avenues that may lead to such a cure, of course, so the remaining three of you readily sign on to test his theory.
73TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_03You travel to the South Shroud and obtain the root that Surito Carito assigned you to procure with little trouble. As your errand took you farthest from upper La Noscea, it would be reasonable to expect that the others will have completed their own portions of the preparation ere you return.
84TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_04Alas, you are not the last to arrive back at the Wanderer's Palace─Alka Zolka, it transpires, was delayed by another run-in with a certain infamous goldsmith. Though all of the necessary materials are now assembled, there remains one more step to be taken: the testing of the experimental compound. Surito Carito hypothesizes that, in the unlikely event that he has miscalculated, consuming the concoction could result in an irreversible transformation into a mindless monster. Given the severity of the danger, he volunteers himself as test subject; however, Setoto points out that without him, the rest of the tonberries have little hope of finding a cure. She suggests that the compound be tested on her instead, but Alka Zolka is entirely unwilling to entertain the idea. Both become increasingly agitated, Setoto at last stalking off to spend time alone with her thoughts.
95TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_05You speak with Alka Zolka, who seems genuinely not to understand why Setoto does not appreciate his objections to her plan. After sending him off to cool his head, Surito Carito privately shares with you that he is concerned that Setoto's willingness to volunteer herself as test subject stems more from her love for Alka Zolka and desire to be a normal girl than it does from the logic she presented. He begs you seek her out and determine whether she has truly thought her choice through.
106TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_06When you confront Setoto, she admits to being in love with Alka Zolka, but maintains that this is not her primary reason for putting herself forth to test the cure. Rather, her experiences have imparted a keen awareness of the suffering that the tonberries are ever plagued by, and she is determined to help her countrymen─something that she is uniquely physiologically suited to do, as one of the youngest and last to have been afflicted with the disease.
117TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_07Back at the Wanderer's Palace, Setoto reiterates her commitment to undergoing the experiment. This time, Surito Carito is convinced by her logic, and Alka Zolka by her heartfelt words. Thus, the test begins, Setoto drinking the concoction to destabilize her own aether, Alka Zolka holding the Amdapori focus aloft, and you and your faerie channeling as much restorative aether as you can manage together. Though the experience appears to be excruciating, Setoto bears the pain, and in the end stands before you a Lalafell, with nary a trace of green to be seen.
128TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_08You speak with Alka Zolka, who is delighted that the cure was successful. He rambles about how admirable Surito Carito, you, and especially Setoto are before rushing off to continue his training, apparently seized with inspiration.
139TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_09Setoto comments on Alka Zolka's abrupt departure with fondness, and affirms to you that she will find a way to convey her feelings to him someday, though she is in no hurry to do so. At last, she has a real future ahead of her─with ample time to live, to love, and to pursue her dreams of becoming a scholar.
1410TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SEQ_10Surito Carito, too, is pleased with the experiment's success. He vows to continue his research, and is confident that, in due course, he will be able to cure many more victims of the Nymian plague with the same methods tested on Setoto. Perhaps on some morn not far in the future, the sun will rise to see all tonberries restored to their former selves...

5349TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_001R'ashaht keeps me apprised of any tales of your heroism that reach her ears, and I must say─they never fail to inspire me to reach for greater martial and tactical heights.
5450TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_002I have thus been seizing upon every opportunity to hone my skills, be it through employment or study. In fact, I have an appointment with Surito Carito shortly to review mariner stratagems for securing thoroughfares and byways. Would you care to join me?
5551TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_003Excellent! It will be a pleasure to train alongside you again. I shall meet you at Camp Bronze Lake─Surito Carito awaits us there.
5652TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_010This is just like old times, isn't it?
5753TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_030My, what a pleasant surprise! I was unaware that you would be joining us today.
5854TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_031Heavens, is that <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> I spy?
5955TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_032Setoto! A true pleasure to see you! Have you come for the exercises as well?
6056TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_033Of course. It may have been well over a millennium ago that I began my studies, but I am still a student with much to learn.
6157TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_034Though I am somewhat hampered by the small matter that is my inability to summon a faerie whilst trapped in this grotesque form...
6258TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_035You are hardly grotesque, my lady. And I'm confident that there is some way you might once again call forth a faerie─we need only find a way to tap the Royal Marine spirit within you. Come hells or high water!
6359TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_036I... Let us hope you are right.
6460TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_037Doubt not that he is. But first, given how rare this opportunity is, might I suggest that we begin by asking <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> to regale us with tales of <If(PlayerParameter(4))>her<Else/>his</If> recent endeavors? There is much we might learn from them.
6561TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_Q1_000_000What will you talk about?
6662TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_A1_000_000Giott's growth.

6864TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_040<sniff> Lamitt, she... And then Giott... <sob> I'm so proud of them...
6965TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_041Lamitt's drive to save her sister, no matter what it cost her... It reminds me of my father.
7066TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_042I can scarce believe you traveled to another world entirely. Were it anyone else, I would doubt the veracity of their words, but I can only envy you. You must have gained much insight into the nature of our own star.
7167TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_043The concept of stoneblight fascinates me. Highly contagious, transforms the body... I cannot but draw parallels between it and the Nymian plague.
7268TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_044What were you able to discern about the magic utilized in curing it?
7369TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_045Hmm... Perhaps the application of a high concentration of aether...but how? Might crystals serve to amplify? Assuming so...
7470TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_046It may work! The similarities of stoneblight to our own affliction─this may well be the key to a cure for the Nymian plague.
7571TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_047You mean to say that my body...and my ability to cast healing magic could be restored?
7672TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_048Precisely. It will be a complex process involving trial and error, of course, but I assume you are interested nevertheless?
7773TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_049Very good. Your assistance will hasten the process considerably.
7874TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_050Setoto, I would have your aid in preparing the experimental compound.
7975TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_051We will require instruments that allow for a high degree of precision. Alka Zolka, you must consult an expert goldsmith to procure suitable supplies.
8076TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_052I believe we might make use of revival root, as well, though I know of no better source of it than the aged treants of Snakemolt. It will be something of a walk, I realize, but can I entrust this task to you?
8177TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_053A challenge befitting the Royal Marines─and to it we shall rise!
8278TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_070This is the closest thing to hope that I have felt in a very long time.
8379TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_073...though the concentration needs exceed anything we have previ─ Ah, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. Yes, upon reflection, I am quite certain I require that root. The larger the cutting, the better.
8480TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_100_120Were you able to procure the root?
8581TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_120Thank you─I expect this will be sufficiently potent. Now we only need await Alka Zolka's return, and...
8682TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_121Apologies, I've only just escaped... I am acquainted with a goldsmith of some repute, and he agreed to fashion the instruments in return for my massaging him with salamander oil. Again.
8783TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_122However, the goods themselves should be more than adequate.
8884TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_123Ah. They're a bit oily, but presumably that will come off.
8985TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_124In which case, we can prepare the compound at any time. However, the matter of what follows is problematic.
9086TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_125Problematic? In what sense?
9187TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_126Though I am fairly confident in my theory, the experimental compound is just that─experimental. I did state before that this process would involve trial and error.
9288TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_127As the Nymian plague does not affect beasts, to test it on any but a tonberry is impossible. Yet, as its ingestion will result in disruption to the body's aetherial balance, there is a possibility that the subject may find himself worse off than before.
9389TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_128I have no intention of inflicting such a fate on any of my brethren, naturally. And so, should I be warped beyond recognition as a result...the task of destroying me will fall to you.
9490TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_129You cannot honestly believe we would agree to that!
9591TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_130...What if you were to test it on me, instead?
9692TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_131Absolutely not! You heard what he said─the test subject might very well become a monster!
9793TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_132I am prepared to take the risk.
9894TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_133Well I'm not prepared to let you!
9995TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_134So you would rather Surito Carito do it? If the test does fail, and he becomes some sort of abomination, who would remain to continue researching the cure? It follows that I ought to be the subject.
10096TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_135And I'm supposed to accept that?
10197TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_136It's not your choice to make!
10298TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_137Please, calm yourselves. The admixture will take some time to prepare, in any case. We can discuss this later, when we have all had the opportunity to think.
10399TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_138Fine. I will do my thinking elsewhere, if it's all the same to you.
104100TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_145I had hoped everyone would be amenable, but I suppose life is rarely so simple.
105101TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_160I don't understand─I'm merely trying to prevent her from placing herself in harm's way!
106102TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_161...I believe you too would be well served by a reprieve. Perhaps a bit of exercise?
107103TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_162If you insist.
108104TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_163<sigh> This would be a far sight easier if they were honest with one another.
109105TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_164As you doubtless are aware, Setoto is quite enamored of Alka Zolka. She seems...disinclined to pursue the matter, however, her current condition being what it is.
110106TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_165Though she raised a salient point, I would not have her volunteer if her primary goal is to remove that perceived obstacle. Were Alka Zolka to be forced to slay her, only to later learn what it was all for... It doesn't bear thinking about.
111107TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_166Might you go and speak with her? I expect that she is fuming somewhere in outer La Noscea. She has a tendency to wander when she's distressed.
112108TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_180If you were able to coax Setoto's honest feelings from her, I would be in a better position to decide whether this is truly something I can ask of the both of them.
113109TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_200I...apologize for my earlier conduct.
114110TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_201I have no intention of changing my mind, though. My logic is sound.
115111TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_Q1_000_100What will you say?
116112TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_A1_000_100It is. But are the reasons you gave truly why you volunteered?
117113TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_A2_000_100Is it? Love makes us do foolish things...
118114TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_210Are they─ Ah. I see.
119115TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_215...That obvious, is it?
120116TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_220Since it's come to this─yes, I am in love with Alka Zolka.
121117TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_221And maybe, were things different, I could be content with that. If we might walk, hand in hand, without drawing the attention of every would-be hero within ten malms. If my compatriots were just as free to pursue their own happiness.
122118TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_222As it is, however, his insistence upon protecting me above all else─it chafes.
123119TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_223I am no fool. I know that others, Alka Zolka included, are stronger than I, and I am not so proud as to refuse aid on principle.
124120TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_224But it's not enough to merely live, insulated from harm. I want─I've <Emphasis>always</Emphasis> wanted to help people. Now more than ever, knowing firsthand the terrible toll this blight takes on all of us.
125121TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_225It is not simply my own desires that make me so adamant─truthfully, there is no more suitable subject on whom the cure might be tested. I had not yet seen twenty summers when I was afflicted, so if it has unanticipated effects, my body will be best able to bear them.
126122TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_226Moreover, I was one of the last to fall to the plague before we entered our lengthy slumber─meaning my illness is less advanced. If this potential cure shows results, they will present in me most quickly.
127123TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_227To say the thought that it could fail does not frighten me would be a lie. Yet...if there is a means by which I might save my people from suffering, I cannot ignore it. You've followed the path of the scholar─you understand, don't you?
128124TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_Q1_000_200What will you say?
129125TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_A1_000_200You do make a compelling argument.
130126TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_A2_000_200Yes, I think I know the feeling.
131127TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_230Thank you. Talking this through with you has helped to clear my head, I believe. I'm ready to speak with the others.
132128TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_240<huff> <puff> There! I...<pant>...I've finished running through Sergeant Tolga's...<wheeze>...thousand-step training regimen!

134130TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_251More confident than ever. You must test the cure on me.
135131TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_252Alka, please. I am not making this decision in haste, nor do I take it lightly. Truth be told, I'm terrified.
136132TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_253But I <Emphasis>need</Emphasis> to do this. <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> agreed─it must be me.
137133TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_254Hmm... Yes, I must admit, your reasoning is sound.
138134TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_255I appreciate that you worry for me, Alka. It means more than you know. But this is my duty─my battle to fight.
139135TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_256You can trust me to meet this foe with all I have─I vow not to quit the field until the bitter end. But if the time comes when I am no longer myself... I need to know that my fate is in good hands. In <Emphasis>your</Emphasis> hands.
140136TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_257As you wish. I will be at your side, as any true mariner would. But know that I fully expect you to seize victory─come hells or high water.
141137TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_258I will. Thank you, Alka.
142138TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_259Very well. If the both of you are resolved, I will abide by Setoto's decision.
143139TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_260But before we begin, I must explain how the process is meant to work.
144140TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_261First, Setoto will drink the compound I devised. This should destabilize the aetherial composition of her body. Once she has done so, Alka Zolka, you must stand at the ready with this, the gemstone retrieved from Amdapor. It shall serve as a focus.
145141TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_262<Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> and Lily will channel their restorative magic through the focus, amplifying it. In theory, being exposed to a sufficient volume of curative aether will encourage Setoto's own aether to attune to it and set itself to rights.
146142TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_100If all are clear on what must be done, let us commence!
147143TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_101Oh... Oh, it burns. It burns!

149145TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_103Fight it, Setoto!
150146TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_104AAAUGH! <pant> Ah...
151147TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_105You are truly radiant, Setoto. Inside and out.
152148TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_300I was nearly certain that it would work, but to see the result is another matter entirely. I can scarce believe my eyes...
153149TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_305I feel the breeze on my skin! Oh, it's <Emphasis>wonderful</Emphasis>.
154150TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_310To think, after all this time, the endless research, we have a cure for the Nymian plague! That Surito Carito even managed to devise such a thing is remarkable enough, but to see it succeed...
155151TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_311Without <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>'s skill as a scholar, it never would have been possible. And Setoto! Your kindness, your conviction, your strength of spirit...
156152TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_ALKAZOLKA_000_312It inspires me to train with even greater fervor!
157153TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_320That is so like him.
158154TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_321And he's still utterly oblivious to my feelings, I'm sure.
159155TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_322It's all right, though. I never truly expected to have another chance at the life I once envisioned for myself─and now that I do, I intend to enjoy it. There's no need to rush through all of the best parts.
160156TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_323That goes for my vocation, as well. I intend to relearn the scholarly arts, starting from the basics. And with my aetheric balance restored, I should be able to summon Lilac properly. Someday, we will be the salvation of those in need─I swear it.
161157TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SETOTO_000_324For the moment, however, I have much training to do if I am to be fit for the Royal Marines. To that end─I'm off to find Alka!
162158TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_340Having labored for so long, so fruitlessly, and then to see the cure realized at last... I find myself at a loss for words.
163159TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_341I will need to monitor Setoto's condition for a time, of course, lest there be adverse effects that were not readily apparent. But this is progress. Astounding progress, toward the day when we might see all tonberries restored to their former selves.
164160TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_342In the meanwhile... Inexperienced in matters of the heart though they are, you needn't worry overmuch for those two. I have confidence that they will sort themselves out in due time.
165161TEXT_LUCKBC009_03218_SURITOCARITO_000_343Fare you well, in whatever worlds your travels lead you to─and thank you.
