Journal
- Sezul appears concerned for the well-being of one of his crew.
- ※The crafting portion of this quest is recommended for Disciples of the Hand level 3 and above.
- Concerned that his crew's mechanical engineer has not returned from his task of gathering engine component materials, Sezul looks to you to locate the missing Ixal. Make your way south and search Alder Springs for Bozol Edual the Exact.
- You find the missing Bozol Edual in Alder Springs, the exhausted Ixal cradling what appears to be a broken arm. No sooner has Bozol warned you to leave, however, when his tormentors─a group of Ixal from the logging grounds─appear to further threaten and taunt him. Wary of your presence, perhaps, the fanatics withdraw after pronouncing an ominous ultimatum. Speak with Bozol, and listen to the unfortunate engineer's tale.
- After explaining that his injury has rendered him unable to complete his task, Bozol requests that you craft the engine component in his stead. Visit the crafting facility at Treespeak Stables, and present the component materials to Nellemond.
- You have handed over the component materials to Nellemond, and gained access to the crafting facility. Synthesize a high-quality propulsion engine component, and deliver it to Sezul Totoloc at Ehcatl. ※In the event that the status Facility Access: Finishing wears off or the synthesis ends in failure, you may try again by speaking with Nellemond.
- You have delivered the propulsion engine component to Sezul. The Ehcatl Nine leader is thankful for your efforts, but laments the delay caused by his chief designer's injury. Upon hearing of this predicament, Tataramu offers to shoulder Bozol's duties, and convinces Sezul that his dedication to the project is genuine. Sezul accepts both you and Tataramu as official members of his crew, and exhorts you to continue working towards the completion of the Dezul Qualan.
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Sezul Totoloc: >> Squawk! [Forename!] A task for you, Sezul has! << Sezul Totoloc: In Sezul's crew, mechanical engineer by name of Bozol Eduan, there is. Sezul Totoloc: Left camp to acquire component materials for engine, Bozol did...but return, he does not. Without vital part for propulsion system, continue with construction, we cannot! Squaaawk! Sezul Totoloc: Have [Forename] Search for missing Bozol and drag him back here, Sezul would. Hmmm. Went somewhere to south, engineer did... Yes! Somewhere south!
Optional Dialogue
Sezul Totoloc: >> Rare among Ixal, Bozol is. Very good with machines! Solely responsible for engine design and development! << Sezul Totoloc: >> Missing engineer is even more important than engine component, Sezul thinks! Even with needed part, install engine into vessel, we cannot! Attempted to add such propulsion system to balloon, no one ever has!
Tataramu: The more I learn of it, the more I come to understand what a remarkable airship the Dezul Qualan truly is! To be able to work on such a vessel—why, it is an engineer's dream come true!
Searching for Bozol Eduan the Exact (Cutscene)
Bozol Eduan the Exact: Squawk... Bozol's arm... Bozol Eduan the Exact: Squawk! Stay back! Hm? Come at Chief Totoloc's orders, you have? Bozol Eduan the Exact: >> N-No! Away with you! Be caught by others, featherless one will! <<
Ixali Chieftain: Caw, caw, caw! Yet try to flutter free, do you? Hard to fly on broken wing, yes? ...Finished our game with you, we have not!
Bozol Eduan the Exact: >> Enough fun, you have had! Miss your fawning presence, your goddess will! <<
Ixali Chieftain: Squawk! Such insolent screeching! Make self target for torment, you do! Ixali Chieftain: Enough pointless resistance! Time to rejoin flock and devote yourself to Divine Garuda, it is! Ixali Chieftain: >> Squawk? Where did you come from, no-feathers? This one's pet, are you? Cease your glaring, or snap your arm, too, chieftain will! << Ixali Chieftain: >> Go. Return to sniveling Sezul and give him message, you shall! Cease this skulking about in forest, he must! Or find himself and crew buried beneath boughs, he will! << Ixali Chieftain: >> Answer now to goddess, all Ixal do. Divine Garuda... Terrible and beautiful Garuda... <<
Speaking with Bozol Eduan the Exact
Bozol Eduan the Exact: <pant> <pant> ...Glad that they tired of their sport, I am... Bozol Eduan the Exact: Based at logging grounds, that chieftain is. Taken actions of Ehcatl Nine as personal insult, he has... Bozol Eduan the Exact: Ugh... Bozol's arm... Useless, it is! Ruined Bozol for his craft, they have... Bozol Eduan the Exact: Wish to rely on featherless one, Bozol does not...but take these materials, you must! Bozol Eduan the Exact: Necessary for crafting high-quality engine component, they are! Squawk! Bozol Eduan the Exact: >> Without component, ceruleum propulstion engine remains incomplete! Build extreme heat-resistant steel housing, we must! << Bozol Eduan the Exact: >> Artisan, you are, yes? Leave this task in your hands, Bozol shall! << Bozol Eduan the Exact: At place your people call "Treespeak Stables," find well-equipped workshop, you will. Unlike Bozol, need for sneaking in and using at night, you have not... Bozol Eduan the Exact: Squawk! Burn like fire, Bozol's arm does! Go! Featherless one must do what Bozol cannot...
Presenting the component materials to Nellemond
Nellemond: Greetings! The crafting facility here at Treespeak Stables is primarily for the purpose of forging tools for the stablehands, but our doors—assuming we had any—are open to all! <Hand over Propulsion-Engine Component Material> Nellemond: Ah, I see you have some quality materials you wish to process. Our workshop may not be located in the fanciest of establishments, but I will personally vouch for the integrity of each and every piece of equipment! Nellemond: Now, having inspected your materials, I believe I have calculated the optimum amount required to craft the component you have in mind. I shall hold on to the excess while you work your synthesizing magic!
Delivering the propulsion engine component to Sezul Totloc (Cutscene)
Sezul Totoloc: Squawk! Worried for [Forename], Sezul was! Returned and explained all, Bozol did! Snapping of bones! Nasty chieftain's threats! Prevent [Forename] from crafting component, Sezul feared he would... <Hand Over Propulsion Engine Component> Sezul Totoloc: Very good, very good... Owe [Forename] two beakfuls of gratitude, Sezul does: first for finding Bozol, and second for crafting engine component! Sezul Totoloc: Being tended for injury, Bozol is. Shortsighted thugs! Sezul Totoloc: They can pray all day to goddess, but grow back flying feathers, it will not! Yet air in abundance, they have! Right there, between their own ears! Squawk!
Tataramu: This goddess... You speak of worshiping the primal Garuda, yes?
Sezul Totoloc: Worship, yes... No means of mechanical propulsion, have balloons. Slave to whims of wind, they are. Sezul Totoloc: To control directions of their vessels, make use of enchanted "airstones," they do. Infused with blessings or Garuda, these artifacts are! Sezul Totoloc: Stone creates wind; wind moves balloon. Simple concept, but efficient and effective, it is not! And always costly, "gifts" of goddess are! Sezul Totoloc: Squawk! Feathered demon! Promise Ixal much, goddess does. But work only to satisfy Garuda's cruel desires, Sezul's people do. Answer their fervent prayers, goddess never will! Sezul Totoloc: That is why Ehcatl Nine broke ties with Garuda! Rely on own skill and perseverance, we shall! Prefer to adopt featherless ones' technology, we do!
Tataramu: That explains the hostile attitude of the logging grounds chieftain—he sees the Ehcatl Nine as heretics and betrayers of their own kind...
Sezul Totoloc: Yes! Think us worst kind of Ixal, they do! Caw, caw, caw! But also intend to lie at feet of Tataramu's chieftains, we do not! Fly, we shall! Fly beyond the clouds! Sezul Totoloc: Yet take much more time now, it will. Wait until Bozol's arm is healed, we must. Draft technical designs for Dezul Qualan, no one else can...
Tataramu: >> Sezul! If you need someone to draft airship designs, then I am your Lalafell! <<
Sezul Totoloc: Training, you say you have. But what of patience? Hmmm? Of dedication? Regret making offer lightly, you will!
Tataramu: I am as serious as I have ever been! In fact, I have already started drafting improvements to your engine assembly. By incorporating my ideas, I believe you can reduce the weight of the propulsion system by twenty percent while still retaining its current power output!
Sezul Totoloc: >> Toy with our dream, you must not! Should Tataramu's designs be flawed, use skin for covering vessel's wings, Sezul will! << Sezul Totoloc: ...Hmmm. Tataramu draws designs, and [Forename] crafts components. Very odd indeed, Sezul's crew has become! Sezul Totoloc: Squawk! So be it! Now official members of Ehcatl Nine, you are! Continue reaching for sky, we shall!
System: You have achieved Recognized reputation with the Ehcatl Nine. System: New Ixal tribal daily quests are now available from Methuli Cattlan the Hard at Ehcatl.
System: Thanks to your diligent efforts, construction of the Dezul Qualan's tail assembly has begun! Continue assisting the Ehcatl Nine to see the airship hybrid reach completion.
