**Reyn:** Whoa! That IS big!

## Gain (+8)

**Reyn: *[What you gonna do with it?]***

**Riki:** Riki sell it in village and pay off big debt to villagers.

**Reyn:** Oh yeah, forgot about your debt. You’ll probably make a fortune.

**Riki:** Riki will be rich, rich, RICH!

**Reyn:** Except... you can’t sell it like that. It’s not worth anything raw.

**Riki:** Why not?

**Reyn: *[You’ve gotta refine it!]*** The thing about crystals is, you’ve gotta put them in an ether furnace. Turn them into gems. That’s how you make yourself some money.

**Riki:** But village not have ether furryness. Only regular Nopon furryness.

**Reyn:** Oh yeah, that’s right. No furnace.

**Riki:** If village get ether furryness, good things happen to village?

**Reyn:** Good things’ll happen all right! The whole place’ll be rich. You can make a new Pollen Works and all the villagers’ll be happy.

**Riki:** A new pollen factory?! Riki want to eat pollen cakes! Pollen cakes for littlepon and Oka!

**Reyn:** *Now that I think... Ain’t ether furnaces really expensive? Better not tell him, just in case.*
