==Drotrois Cald==
3rd Moon of the Luvan Year 321
—Town Outskirts—
Ray Jack: How much farther to this Luczak's home, Kaliva?
Kaliva: Not much farther at all...ah, you see? We have arrived.
Kaliva: Luckzak, it is I, Kaliva. Are you home?
Luczak: ...Kaliva, I have been waiting for you.
Luczak: Welcome to my humble home, both of you.
Ray Jack: Your hospitality is most appreciated.
Luczak: Would you care for a cup of benna tea? It's freshly brewed.
Kaliva: That would be splendid, thank you.
Luczak: Now, what did you wish to discuss with me?
Ray Jack: Yes, well there is a village that is suffering from the Drotois cald.
Ray Jack: As you may know, it is a disease that can be treated with an elixir, but the village does not have enough.
Kaliva: Which is why we have come seeking your aid.
Luczak: I see...so this is a medicinal request.
Kaliva: The Drotois cald elixir is a difficult mixture, and its ingredients are rare.
Kaliva: The current epidemic requires that we provide the elixir to as many affected as possible.
Kaliva: So we had to come to you Luczak. No one in the realm is more gifted at mixing elixirs.
Luczak: Truth be told, I am quite busy with my research into new medicines.
Luczak: ...but I cannot refuse the request of master's greatest friend. I am at your service.
Ray Jack: Ah...!
Kaliva: I am in your debt, Luczak.
Luczak: But I will need you both to assist me in gathering the ingredients.
Ray Jack: But of course. Let us begin at once.
==A Fair Price==
Ray Jack: The next ingredient is the last, I do believe.
Kaliva: Hmm, lupin flower petals. These are quite rare as well. Where do you propose we look?
Luczak: If memory serves, there is a merchant here that sells them.
Merchant: Welcome, welcome. What can I help you gentlemen with today?
Kaliva: We require the petals of a lupin flower. Have you any?
Merchant: But of course we do! A moment, if you will...
Merchant: Oi, bring it here!
Servant: Yes, master...one set of lupin petals will be five hundred thousand zell, kind sirs.
Ray Jack: Five hundred thousand!? Are they truly that dear?
Luczak: ...No. Indeed they are rather rare and expensive, but this extortion.
Merchant: I'm afraid, dear sirs, that the recent Drotois cald epidemic has driven up demand...and thus the price.
Merchant: I assure you that the price I offer is the fair market price...heh heh heh!
Ray Jack: Fair!? Have you no decency? No compassion?
Ray Jack: People's lives are at stake! Would you let your own avarice—
Luczak: Very well, then we shall look elsewhere.
Ray Jack: Luczak!? Where are you going!?
Luczak: I was under the impression that time is of the essence. We should not waste it arguing with scum.
Luczak: We should make our way to where the lupin flowers actually grow. We can collect the petals there.
==The Fair Price==
—Several Days Later—
—Town Outskirts—
Tonio: Thank the kings that Luczak was able to create enough elixir for all the villagers!
Kaliva: Mm, I thought that it would take more time but...that is the genius of Luczak for you.
Ray Jack: Once we receive the elixir from Luczak, we must quickly make our way to the village.
Tonio: If I may ask, what separates magic elixirs from ordinary medicines?
Kaliva: Simply put, an elixir is a healing spell that activates when it is consumed.
Kaliva: Unlike other spells however, it can be preserved and stored, thus it can be used by anyone.
Kaliva: It is a most useful magic, but very difficult to prepare. Indeed, there are very few in this world that can mix elixirs.
Tonio: Ah...so Luczak is actually quite a special individual.
Tonio: At first glance, you would think him your average greedy mage...
Ray Jack: ...I strongly suggest that you do not say that in his presence, Tonio.
—Luczak's Home—
Luczak: Here is the promised mixture. That should be enough for all the afflicted.
Ray Jack: Thank you Luczak. You have saved the village.
Servant: Master Luczak! Is Master Luczak here!?
Luczak: Ah...the crooked merchant's servant. What brings you here?
Servant: Yes, well...my master has...come down with the Drotois cald...
Servant: I understand this is a somewhat selfish request but...could you spare some of your elixir?
Ray Jack: He has the ingredients in his shop, does he not? Why does he not mix the elixir himself?
Servant: Well, uh...the mage we hired to prepare the mixture...failed.
Kaliva: Most unfortunate. The skills of the mage you hired were insufficient.
Servant: I beg you Master Luczak, please prepare the mixture! We will pay any price!
Luczak: Indeed? Then the price is five hundred thousand zell.
Servant: ...! But that is exorbitant!
Luczak: Oh, you cannot pay? That is unfortunate. Good day to you, sir.
Servant: ...Good day, Master Luczak...
Tonio: That crooked merchant got what he deserved, if you ask me!
Ray Jack: Still, one should have some pity for a sick man.
Luczak: ...You have received the elixir I prepared for you.
Luczak: It is yours to distribute as you please.
Ray Jack: ...Yes, I believe I understand. Pardon me sirs, I have business with Luczak's last visitor.
Luczak: <sigh>
