Melodie 	Greetings, [Player Name]. Is there aught you require? ...Hm? You wish to know about the Xaela man whom I saw? Of course.
Melodie 	His garb was outlandish, not unlike those worn by Alghu and Teleboge, and he seemed to be searching for something. Or someone.
Melodie 	You don't suppose he could be connected to Master Adkiragh in some way?
Teleboge 	Chief! W-We may have a problem!
Melodie 	(That's him─the visitor!)
...W-Welcome to the Hard Place!
Bulugan 	Beg pardons. I am searching for a man named Adkiragh. If any of you know him, I ask that you point me in his direction.
Melodie 	I...er...
Bulugan 	Well, if it isn't the adventurer from Reunion! The fates are kind to bring us together once more. Lest you have forgotten, you fetched me purbol flowers. Only after we went our separate ways did it occur to me that I had failed to introduce myself. That oversight, I shall now rectify.
Bulugan 	I am Bulugan of the Adarkim, and the man I seek, Adkiragh, is my older brother, whom you may recall has gone into hiding. I had come upon rumors of his whereabouts, and thus did I set out to find him and bring him home.
Bulugan 	These two, I know for minions of Adkiragh, and they likewise vanished from the tribe. I chanced to spot them in Reunion and decided to shadow their steps. They refuse to reveal the truth to me, but I have every reason to believe that I am come to the right place.
Bulugan 	Ah, but perhaps it would help if I described my brother.
Bulugan 	First, Adkiragh is a proud man and can oft be heard referring to himself as illustrious.
Bulugan 	Next, he is extremely fond of buuz and is skilled in its preparation besides.
Bulugan 	Last─and not to insult your intelligence─he is obviously a Xaela like me. This point I emphasize only because there cannot be many of our kind who dwell in these parts.
Bulugan 	Hmmm... The Adkiragh I know would not lower himself by dressing as livestock. And yet the man who claims the selfsame name, the proprietor of this establishment, is said to wear a swine's mask.
Bulugan 	You there, take off that mask. I would behold your face.
Mapopo 	W-Wait!
Mapopo 	The chief, he's...er, disfigured. Yes, disfigured! Hideously so! That's why he wears the mask! He can't bear having his face seen!
Bulugan 	Is that so...? Well, perhaps I misspoke. I am but a stranger here, and it is not my place to make such demands. Very well, I shall take my inquiries to the other residents of this town.
Adkiragh 	[Player Name], I must ask a favor. Loath though I am to drag you into my tribe's dilemmas, will you keep an eye on Bulugan?
Teleboge 	My fault? You were there too!
Alghu 	It's your fault Bulugan spotted us!
Mapopo 	Whatever happens, we must protect the chief!
Melodie 	Something seems to be afoot...though I am not quite sure what. Need I be worried?
Bulugan 	You are offering to join me? I would be heartened for your company. I am a stranger, and this is a strange land. Yes, very strange indeed...
Bulugan 	When first I arrived, I thought my eyes were playing tricks. To think that a place exists where man and beastman abide together in peace! I should very much like to meet these creatures you call goblins. Let us begin by speaking with one of them.
Bulugan 	Hail to you, friend. I am a wayfarer come far from the east in search of my lost brother. The proprietor of the Hard Place─know you if he is a Xaela like me, and a native of the Azim Steppe?
 	
Slowfix 	Pshhh... Shkohhh... Idyllshire is free nation. Birth, race, faith─such things not matter here. One and all are welcome, provided one is willing to sweatwork for good of all.
Slowfix 	And owner of the Hard Place sweatworks muchly. He is highstanding citizen of Idyllshire, has earned highview of gobbieflock. A true gobbiefriend.
Slowfix 	So, Slowfix asks: what business does uplander have with gobbiefriend? Does uplander mean good...or does uplander mean ill?
Bulugan 	W-Well, I wish only to see my brother back to─
...Nay, never mind. My thanks for your time.
 	
Bulugan 	Next, I will try approaching the treasure hunters. I understand they have a hand in the running of the settlement. It stands to reason that they would know about its residents.
 	
Bulugan 	Beg pardons, but I wish to inquire about an Adarkim man named Adkiragh. I believe he is the proprietor of the Hard Place.
Midnight Dew 	Adar...kim? Can't say I know what that is, but I do know Adkiragh. We all do.
Midnight Dew 	Peculiar choice of outfit aside, he's always got hot meals ready for us hunters after a hard day's work. An' he'll lend an ear to our ventin' till our throats are hoarse.
Midnight Dew 	Reckon I speak for all hunters when I say Idyllshire wouldn't be the same without him an' his place. An' that's the Adkiragh I know. I couldn't speak to this Adar-whatsit, though.
Bulugan 	Hmmm...
Bulugan 	I see you are determined to take my brother's side. I am not blind, my friend. Adkiragh always had a way of winning people over. Growing up, I wished I could be more like him.
Bulugan 	Beg pardons, but I wish to inquire about an Adarkim man named Adkiragh. I believe he is the proprietor of the Hard Place.
Midnight Dew 	Adar...kim? Can't say I know what that is, but I do know Adkiragh. We all do.
Midnight Dew 	Peculiar choice of outfit aside, he's always got hot meals ready for us hunters after a hard day's work. An' he'll lend an ear to our gossipin' an' ventin' till our throats are hoarse.
Midnight Dew 	Reckon I speak for all hunters when I say Idyllshire wouldn't be the same without him an' his place. An' that's the Adkiragh I know. I couldn't speak to this Adar-whatsit, though.
Bulugan 	Hmmm...
Bulugan 	I appreciate your kindness, my friend, but I am not blind. Adkiragh always had a way of winning people over. Growing up, I wished I could be more like him.
Bulugan 	But I am not my brother, nor will I ever be. And there are only so many assassination attempts a man can endure in his sibling's stead.
Bulugan 	<sigh> Perhaps a child will prove more forthcoming...
Excuse me, little one. Do you know Adkiragh, the owner of the Hard Place?
Khloe Aliapoh 	Uncle Adkiragh? Of course Khloe knows him! He always has exciting stories to share with Khloe and her friends!
Khloe Aliapoh 	Lots of people were trying to kill him! Or kidnap him! Or marry him! Sometimes all of these things at once!
Khloe Aliapoh 	Oh, and he has a little brother back at home! Someone named Boo...er, Boogaloo! Yes, that's his name! He's very dependable and Uncle Adkiragh admires him very much!
Khloe Aliapoh 	Khloe's never met Boogaloo, but Khloe likes him already! Khloe must work hard so Zhloe can admire her like Uncle Adkiragh admires Boogaloo!
Bulugan 	...
Bulugan 	Well, if there was ever any doubt, there is none now. The owner of the Hard Place is Adkiragh, my brother. There is much and more I would say to him. [Player Name], may I ask you to be present?
 	
Teleboge 	<gulp> H-He's back! What do we do!?
Alghu 	Come what may, we stand with the chief!
Mapopo 	I'm not letting anyone take the chief away!
Melodie 	Oh, you are returned! Er...should I serve some refreshments?
Bulugan 	All I have ever wanted was to live my life in peace, away from the burdens of succession. But that was denied to me.
Bulugan 	I felt trapped, deprived of choice. And so I chose nothing. Yet that may be the worst choice of all.
Bulugan 	Whether I embrace my fate or seek another path to walk, unless I take control of my own life, it will forever be under another's control. This journey has taught me that.
Bulugan 	Your secret is safe with me. I will say that it was not my brother that I found here, but another man. Fare you well.
Adkiragh 	Wait.
Adkiragh 	As I have here, one day you will find your own purpose─something that you will want to protect, no matter the cost. But the road is long, with many a winding turn. Whenever you need a rest on your journey, know that you will always be welcome here.
Melodie 	My! To think that Master Adkiragh was once a candidate to lead his tribe!
Mapopo 	He's not leaving us! Oh, thank the heavens! <sob>
Teleboge 	It's over! We can finally rest easy!
Alghu 	Bulugan is a good man. I wish him well.
Adkiragh 	I apologize for the recent uncertainty, but it's safe to say no more of my kinsmen will come after me. The Hard Place need not go without her illustrious proprietor.
Adkiragh 	What? I finally reveal my beautiful face, and all you can do is stare? Come now, a compliment or two is surely in order!
 	
Adkiragh 	Permit me to thank you again, [Player Name].
Adkiragh 	Lest you worry for my brother, you need not.
Adkiragh 	Bulugan is a born leader. Where I am brazen, he is restrained. Where I am impulsive, he is measured. Often did I wish that I could be more like him.
Adkiragh 	He will make a fine khan. And when the day comes, I will go to pay my respects. You should join me─I would show you my homeland.
Adkiragh 	Of course, my home is here now. And here I shall put my down my roots─with an easy heart.
Adkiragh 	But enough talk! We have a business to run!
Adkiragh 	Thanks to your contributions, we are close to being profitable once more. Now, I believe, is a good time to shift our focus to outfitting the place with new furnishings. Go forth, my friend, and procure for us these things!
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
