;(Talk to Esther)
:Esther: This is terrible... What am I going to do...
: What's wrong?
:Esther: It's my beacons! I've gone and left a whole load of them up on the mountain!
:Esther: There's no way I can continue my research now... *sigh* And after all the money I spent on them, too...
: What exactly happened?
:Esther: Well, I wanted to do some research into conditions on the mountain — the climate, the environment, and so on. So, I invested in an expensive set of survey beacons.
:Esther: Then, I scaled the mountain with a team of explorers. I was just putting the beacons in place when we were set upon by a huge group of monsters, they came out of nowhere...
:Esther: I didn't manage to grab them all before I left. The explorers insisted that we leave immediately.
:Esther: They also said they're not going back up there any time soon... But what about my beacons? The monsters will smash them to pieces!
:Esther: Can you go and collect them for me? Please, I promise they're very easy to find.
: Alright then...
:Esther: Thank you a thousand times over! No, a million times!
: What's in this for me?
:Esther: Oh, uh... a reward, of course! I'll make it worth your while, I swear...
:Esther: So, thanks in advance.
;(Talk to Esther again)
:Esther: There's no way this is enough beacons to survey the whole mountain...

;(Talk to Esther after retrieving the beacons)
:Esther: Did you find my beacons?
: I did indeed.
:Esther: Let me see... Yes, these are the ones, alright!
:Esther: Ugh, look at the state of them... Those monsters clearly weren't gentle with them. But thankfully, they're not completely ruined.
:Esther: *sigh* Still, I guess I won't be using them in the near future... Ah, can't be helped. I will have to make do with a smaller-scale survey...
:Esther: I have some other beacons here. Could you set them up on the mountain for me?
: Where exactly?
::Esther: ...Is that a yes? I'll take that as a yes! Thanks! I'll mark the spots on the map for you.
: Why can't you do it yourself?
::Esther: I don't dare... If not even a whole team of explorers could stand up to those monsters, I'm certainly not going back up there alone.
::Esther: I can't find any other explorers planning a trip up there at the moment, but I also can't delay this indefinitely.
::Esther: So, you're the only choice I've got. Seeing as you managed to fetch my beacons back so effortless last time, I think you're more than up to the task.
::Esther: Thanks once again. I'll be sure to compensate you well!
::Esther: Wait, let me mark the locations on the map for you...
:Esther: ...There. I've marked them all out. Just put the beacons in those general areas.
:Esther: Make sure to put them up in high spots. The higher the altitude, the more accurate the survey.
;(Talk to Esther again)
:Esther: This beacon is useless... So's this one...
----
;(Report back to Esther after placing new beacons)
:Esther: Are all the beacons in place?
: Yes.
:Esther: Wonderful, that is an enormous help. Take these — along with my thanks, once again, for everything.
:Esther: Ugh, with so few beacons for the survey, who knows if I'll be able to turn up anything of interest...
