Kaishirr 	It didn't take long for folks to start moaning after Vauthry left. Now everyone in Eulmore's got something to complain about. Wouldn't want to be in Master Chai's shoes, having to keep that lot happy...
 	
Alphinaud 	All we know for certain is that Master Chai has shown great concern not only for Eulmore, but its surrounding settlements.
Alphinaud 	It seems logical, then, that having consulted those within the city walls, he would wish to do the same to those without.
Alphinaud 	[Player Name], if you would go and make inquiries in Wright, I shall do likewise in Stilltide. Gatetown I leave to you, Kai-Shirr.
Kaishirr 	Fair enough. Where should we meet when we've finished?
Alphinaud 	Well...Top Rung would seem to me to be his next most likely destination.
Alphinaud 	Let us reconvene there. With any luck, one of us will have stumbled upon him by then, but if not, we will be well situated to continue our search.
 	
Alphinaud 	With Vauthry gone, I had hoped things would change for the better, but this place seems little different from before. Perhaps they need more time...
 	
Kaishirr 	Don't worry, [Player Name]. I know Gatetown like the back of my hand. If Master Chai's here, I'll find him in no time.
 	
Hastelot 	...No, the name doesn't ring any bells. But there was a rather dapper-looking Mystel gentleman here not long ago. He wanted to talk about relations between Wright and Eulmore─or rather the lack of them.
Hastelot 	We lost a great many people to their promises of meol and the chance of a lavish life among the free.
Hastelot 	And Vauthry thought to take even more from us, conscripting the few able-bodied men we had left to guard his paradise.
Hastelot 	I needn't tell you what happened when the sin eaters came... Such things are hard to forgive.
Hastelot 	But Vauthry's gone now, and we're curious to see what will become of Eulmore in his absence.
Hastelot 	That's what I told your friend...Chai-Nuzz, was it? And I'm sure the others said the same. Not what he wanted to hear, I suppose, because he left soon after. And that was that.
 	
Hastelot 	I hope we didn't do anything to give him offense, but you can't blame us for being wary. Not after all that's happened. If Eulmore one day shows signs of real change, perhaps we'll lend him a friendlier ear.
 	
Kaishirr 	Turns out Master Chai was over in Gatetown too. He spoke to a few of the residents, apparently. They told me they'd never seen a posh bloke look so miserable.
 	
Alphinaud 	So he paid a visit to both Wright and Gatetown as well, did he?
Alphinaud 	I see. Kai-Shirr and I gleaned much the same.
Alphinaud 	He seems determined to salvage what goodwill might yet remain among the settlements of Kholusia, the only likely place he has left to go being Amity.
Alphinaud 	Come. If we are quick, we may yet catch up with him.
 	
Chainuzz 	[Player Name]! Alphinaud! Kai-Shirr! Wh-What are you doing here!?
Alphinaud 	We might ask you the same, Master Chai. We have been looking all over for you.
Chainuzz 	Looking for me? Whatever for?
Alphinaud 	Lady Chai has been nigh inconsolable in your absence. She claims you disappeared without so much as a word, and bade us return you to her side.
Chainuzz 	What in blazes are you talking about? I left a letter for her in our chambers.
Chainuzz 	Though I suppose she could have overlooked it... And when she gets an idea into her head... <sigh> I can only apologize.
Alphinaud 	No harm done, Master Chai. But since we are here, might I ask what compelled you to come all this way?
Alphinaud 	We were told you had been elected mayor, and from what we have gathered from the nearby villages, you have been inquiring about the people's grievances.
Alphinaud 	Is it safe to assume you mean to take office?
Chainuzz 	Now, now, let's not jump to conclusions!
Chainuzz 	I did seek to learn about the problems faced by the people of Kholusia, that much is true. But I am by no means sure I am the man to solve them.
Chainuzz 	Tackling our many challenges will require resources, and until I have secured them, it would not be right to assume the role of mayor.
Alphinaud 	I see. And you believe said resources can be found here?
Chainuzz 	Indeed. The people's grievances are many, but in the course of my inquiries, I have already met with several individuals willing to lend their aid in addressing them.
Chainuzz 	However, there remains one individual crucial to my plans. A man whose counsel might yet make a mayor of me.
Alphinaud 	With respect, such forethought is, in itself, proof of your suitability.
Alphinaud 	The city needs you, Master Chai. And I am certain this man of whom you speak─whoever he may be─will reach the same conclusion. For what little it is worth, we will vouch for you should he require convincing.
 	
Chainuzz 	I...I don't know what to say...
Kaishirr 	You don't need to say anything. You've got your actions to speak for you.
Kaishirr 	For as long as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to make it into Eulmore. But that dream's gone now, burst like a bubble─or a boil, more like.
Kaishirr 	Anyway, outside of repaying Master Alphinaud, I haven't had a clue what to do with myself. Spent most days in a daze. But you? You've been running up and down, trying to find a way to fix this mess for everyone.
Kaishirr 	And I reckon you can do it. You got this lot up Mt. Gulg, didn't you? How hard could mayoring be? You're going to steer Eulmore to a better future, I know it.
Kaishirr 	And I want to help. Properly help. Do something that makes a difference.
Kaishirr 	I don't know what it is yet, but I'll work it out on the way. If you let me come with you, that is.
Chainuzz 	You give me entirely too much credit, the lot of you...but I can't deny it gives me heart. Come, then. Let us press on together.
Kaishirr 	Thank you, Master Chai!
Chainuzz 	But we mustn't get ahead of ourselves. Eulmore needs more than a man with good intentions. Which is why I am here─to find one with the experience needed to see the city thrive.
Alphinaud 	Who is this man, exactly, and are you certain he's here in Amity?
Chainuzz 	Wrenden is his name, and yes, he is. Or was. I had scarcely begun to explain myself when he decided his time was better spent elsewhere.
Chainuzz 	He served as chief advisor to Vauthry's father when he was in office.
Chainuzz 	If Ran'jit was the mayor's right hand, one might say Wrenden was the left, and between them, they kept Eulmore on the road to prosperity.
Chainuzz 	The city needs more than a mere man of business─which is why I must find him.
Alphinaud 	But even if you do, what makes you think he will listen?
Alphinaud 	Before giving chase, might it not be wise to speak with those who know him, here in Amity? They may be able to shed some light on his reason for rejecting your overtures out of hand.
Chainuzz 	Yes, I suppose that makes sense. Perhaps we should start with Tristol, then. As I recall, you made rather a favorable impression on him. I'm certain he would be willing to talk to us.
 	
Kaishirr 	I reckon Eulmore could learn a thing or two from Amity about standing on its own two feet. Then again, so could I.
 	
Alphinaud 	According to Master Chai, this Wrenden fellow occupied a position of considerable influence in the Eulmoran leadership. Which begs the question: why did he choose to leave?
 	
Chainuzz 	I realize it was me who suggested speaking with Tristol, but who's to say he will be any more receptive than Wrenden? Why should any of them give me the time of day? ...Bah, that's no way to think. Ignore me.
 	
Tristol 	Greetings, friend. And to you too, Master Chai. I presume you are here to ask after Wrenden? I couldn't help overhearing your earlier...exchange.
Chainuzz 	Yes, well...with Vauthry gone, Eulmore wants for a leader. Should no one rise to the challenge, the city could very well collapse. I came here seeking Wrenden's counsel in the hope that we could build a better Eulmore together─and that is still my wish. But given how abominably you were mistreated there, I will quite understand if you choose not to help.
Tristol 	Worry not, Master Chai. I bear no grudge against you or the people of Eulmore, and I would not see you suffer for Vauthry's villainy.
Tristol 	As you no doubt gathered from your meeting earlier, Wrenden can be rather uncompromising. He has his principles, you see, and little patience for anyone he deems less committed to their own.
Tristol 	Your desire to right the wrongs of your past, of Eulmore's past, is quite admirable. But I fear the guilt you bear on the city's behalf works against you.
Tristol 	I can see it in your eyes, in the way you carry yourself. It goes without saying he sees it as well. You must let those feelings go, Master Chai. Be more assertive─commit to this course─and prove to him Eulmore has the resolve to change.
Chainuzz 	The resolve to change...
 	
Tristol 	I believe he was heading towards Pit 8 when he left. If you plan to go and speak with him, I suggest you be firm and clear in your intentions.
Chainuzz 	Very well. To Pit 8 we shall go. And I will not take no for an answer. Nay, not even a maybe!
 	
Tristol 	Despite our previous...artistic differences, I do believe Master Chai means what he says. But until he starts believing it, I fear it won't amount to an awful lot.
 	
Kaishirr 	Imagine it... A Eulmore that even a bloke like me could help to build...
 	
Alphinaud 	People cannot be brought together on the strength of high ideals alone. This I know from painful experience. Wrenden was right to demand proof of Master Chai's commitment.
 	
Wrenden 	It remains to be seen if his words will translate into deeds, but I shall endeavor to keep an open mind.
 	
Chainuzz 	Ahem! Right, then. Is there a particular issue you would have me resolve?
Wrenden 	You seem to have conducted an assessment of the problems Eulmore now faces. I assume you will agree, therefore, that the matter of dwindling food stores is the most pressing.
Alphinaud 	Ah, yes... Meol being neither a desirable, nor less sustainable option, I assume alternative foodstuffs are now required to fill the void.
Wrenden 	And a man who hungers is not like to contribute much to society...save violence, perhaps.
Wrenden 	So tell me: how do you propose to solve this problem? Give me a satisfactory answer, and I will consider offering you my counsel.
Chainuzz 	Hmmm... A combination of measures would seem to be in order. One to address the immediate issue of supply, and another, that of production.
Wrenden 	Go on...
Chainuzz 	For the present, Eulmore's coffers can be used to purchase food from our neighbors. This would afford us time to address the underlying problem that affects us all─the long-standing neglect of agriculture.
Chainuzz 	The villages that once served as sources of trade for foodstuffs must be repopulated, their means of production restored.
 	
Chainuzz 	This assumes, of course, that we can rekindle relations with our neighbors, guarantee security and stability in the region, and most importantly, find people willing to leave the city and take up the rebuilding effort.
Wrenden 	My, my... Think of that all by yourself, did you?
Chainuzz 	Well...yes. It began as a rather abstract plan I drafted some time ago, after speaking with the peoples of Eulmore and the nearby settlements.
Wrenden 	Hmph.
...You've impressed me, Chai-Nuzz.
Chainuzz 	Uh─ I have? Well, that is a relief!
Wrenden 	Oh, you haven't secured my support just yet. Only my attention. Grand plans will not be enough to persuade the masses. If you would ask them to rebuild, you must provide them the means to do so.
Chainuzz 	A fair point, Wrenden. And one to which I have given much thought. I propose the use of Talos to aid in the establishment and maintenance of these settlements. Their employment should drastically improve efficiency, and ultimately increase production.
Wrenden 	Talos? But Daedalus Stoneworks closed their doors years ago. Without a ready supply of the necessary equipment, the people would starve before your plans could be put into effect.
Chainuzz 	Well, as the heir to Daedalus Stoneworks, it just so happens that Talos are my field of expertise.
Chainuzz 	And with a little help, I'm quite certain we can acquire what we need in no time at all.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
