Dialogue

Optional dialogue

G'raha Tia: Thanks to Mihleel, it appears we have a new lead. Let us leave no stone unturned!

Accepting the quest

Mihleel: Khalzahl made his home in Kama, a nearby residential area.
Mihleel: From what I gather, Khalzahl lived there since childhood and was known throughout the neighborhood.
G'raha Tia: Kama...the name is new to me. How do we get there?
Mihleel: I'll write down some directions.
Mihleel: I cannot promise that you will find what you seek there, but if nothing else, it is a start.
G'raha Tia: Come, let's see where this lead takes us.

Optional dialogue

Conversation point: At Kama (X: 9.9, Y:7.6)
> Ask for directions
G'raha Tia: Let's see... After leaving the meyhane, we're to retrace our steps and head back towards the aetheryte plaza.
Conversation point: At Radz-at-Han Aetheryte Plaza (X:11.3, Y:11.1)
> Ask for directions
G'raha Tia: From here, we ascend the stairs...
Conversation point: At Yuj (X:9.1, Y:11.0)
> Ask for directions
G'raha Tia: Ah, this must be Yuj. In which case, we should take the path leading southeast.
Conversation point: At Yuj (X:10.0, Y:11.7)
> Ask for directions
G'raha Tia: If we keep going this way, we should arrive in Kama before long.
G'raha Tia: Walking these unfamiliar streets is quite the adventure, is it not? I can only hope we can explore Radz-at-Han at our leisure once this crisis has passed.

Accompany G'raha Tia to Kama and speak with him.

G'raha Tia: ...And this must be Kama! We've arrived at last!
G'raha Tia: Let us begin questioning the residents without delay. No doubt someone here can tell us more about Khalzahl.
G'raha Tia: Given recent events, I imagine many are taking shelter indoors.

Optional dialogue

G'raha Tia: To see the streets so empty, I wonder if some residents have fled Radz-at-Han altogether.

Gather information in Kama while G'raha Tia is accompanying you.

Parigha: Hmmm...? Could you come back another time? I just woke up, and I'm not exactly in the mood for idle chitchat.
G'raha Tia: Well, that's one way to avoid the panic, I suppose...
G'raha Tia: Pardon our intrusion. You may not have noticed, but a great danger has come to Thavnair. I encourage you to stay alert, and prepare to flee the city should the situation turn dire.
G'raha Tia: But before we leave you in peace...pray allow us to ask a question or two. Did you know a local merchant named Khalzahl? If so, did you notice anything unusual about him recently?
Parigha: Khalzahl? Aye, I know him. In fact, we spoke just the other day.
Parigha: Like many others, his business was doing poorly. Still, it seemed as though he'd managed to turn things around, thanks to a generous order from Ruveydah Fibers. Why, he was practically dancing in the streets.
Parigha: I haven't spoken with him since, but I assume it all went well. Djinabaha might be able to tell you more, though. As I recall, he was the one who brokered the arrangement.
G'raha Tia: Djinabaha at Ruveydah Fibers... Let's make a point to visit him after we've spoken with other locals.
Mahti: Khalzahl, you say? Yes, I've known him since he was a boy.
Mahti: If there was ever a man who was born to be a merchant, it was him. Always early to depart and late to return, he'd spend his days procuring the finest wares and seeking out willing customers. You could say it came to him as easily as breathing.
Mahti: Sadly, business was flagging of late. No surprise, really, what with how dangerous travel has become. He was cooped up in his house from dawn till dusk the other day ─ no doubt racking his brain for a way to turn his fortunes around.
Mahti: Then, at night, I heard the door open. I looked out to see Khalzahl sitting on a bench, his head hung low. A man with the weight of the world on his shoulders...
G'raha Tia: I see. The situation must have been quite dire, indeed...
G'raha Tia: Did you notice anything else out of the ordinary?
Mahti: Nothing to speak of. Other than the troubles with his consortium, he was the same old Khalzahl. Cordial and honest, like always.
Mahti: These questions you are asking...has something happened to him? He wasn't caught up in that terrible incident at the bazaar, was he?
Mahti: I don't travel much these days, but my daughter's told me not to venture outside. Stuck in here as I am, I've heard little about these bizarre goings-on.
G'raha Tia: Rest assured, the city is safe for now, but the situation may change without warning.
G'raha Tia: I urge you: stay close to your daughter, and be prepared to take refuge should the satrap order it.

Optional dialogue

Mahti: Yes, I shall do just that. Thank you for your concern, and pray stay safe as well.
Parigha: I must've been working myself too hard... I only intended to take a short nap, but when I woke up, it was already sunset. Come to think of it, hasn't the sky been red rather longer than usual?
G'raha Tia: From what we've heard, our man Khalzahl was truly at wits' end.
G'raha Tia: And it all came to a head at the meyhane... Perhaps his arrangement with Ruveydah Fibers did not go according to plan? I expect this Djinabaha can tell us more.
Conversation point: At Yuj (X:8.6, Y:11.1)
> Discuss the way to Dharma
G'raha Tia: If I am not mistaken, these stairs lead to Dharma.
G'raha Tia: It is...quite the sight, the red sky above.
G'raha Tia: During the Final Days of yore, the heavens burned and the stars fell. Creation magicks run amok ─ that was my assumption when I saw Amaurot.
G'raha Tia: Perhaps the ancients believed the same ─ that the terror of a single powerful individual was the cause of their calamity.
G'raha Tia: And yet, those selfsame horrors now manifest themselves before our eyes. What could it be that sets the heavens aflame and turns ordinary men into beasts?
Conversation point: At Ruveydah Fibers (X:8.0, Y:13.2)
> Discuss Ruveydah Fibers.
G'raha Tia: They're farming silkworms... This must be Ruveydah Fibers, where we should find Djinabaha.

Speak with Djinabaha while G'raha Tia is accompanying you. (Cutscene)

Djinabaha: ...And hurry, I say! There's no time to waste!
G'raha Tia: Pardon me, but you are in charge of buying and selling here, yes? We have a few questions that we'd like to─
Djinabaha:I'm sorry, but I simply don't have time to chat.
Djinabaha:If you haven't noticed, we have our hands full at the moment. We must carry all our wares and equipment to safety before those  accursed beasts return.
G'raha Tia: In that case, might we be of assistance? Perhaps we could speak when the job is done.
Djinabaha:...Very well.
Djinabaha: You can start by helping us move our equipment. Ask the others what to put where.
Djinabaha: And you can carry our fabrics.
Djinabaha: Go through that door and speak with Kamala. She'll tell you the rest.
Djinabaha: Remember, these textiles are our livelihood. Handle them with care.

Optional dialogue

Djinabaha: You'll get your answers after you've kept your side of the bargain. Now, off with you.

Speak with Kamala.

Kamala: This area is for employees only. Out, out!
Kamala: What's that? You've come to help!? Oh, praise be to Minduruva!
Kamala: Kind stranger, I welcome your assistance. On your way here, you passed three storehouses, yes?
Kamala: I'd like you to carry that small crate to Nahbrifhal, by the storehouse near the hatchery.
Kamala: The crate of clothing is for Mahnuha...
Kamala: ...And that massive crate there goes to Zeymeira by the middle storehouse. Watch your back with that one.
Kamala: Those are all the crates we have ready. Once they've been delivered, consider your work here complete!

You will have a limited time to complete the task. Should you fail, return to the starting location and begin anew.

Deliver the crate to Nahbrifhal.

Nahbrifhal: Thread, is it? Then you've come to the right place. We thank you for your aid.

Deliver the crate to Mahnuha.

Mahnuha: If you have any crates of finished products such as carpets, clothing, and the like, pray bring them here to our primary storehouse.
Mahnuha: A crateful of clothing, is it? I can take that off your hands. Many thanks for the delivery!

Deliver the crate to Zeymeira.

Zeymeira: I say, you're quite the brawny one, aren't you? A good thing, that. Never know when you'll need to defend yourself in these unpredictable times.
Zeymeira: A crateful of fabrics, is it? Exactly what I was hoping to receive. Here, let me put that away for you.

Speak with Kamala.

Kamala: You've carried all the crates to the storehouses, you say? And so quickly, too! Why, I've never seen anyone so strong!
Kamala: I and my associates will see to the rest, so please return to Djinabaha and assure him our work is proceeding apace.
Kamala: To tell the truth, we're grateful for this distraction. Too many terrible happenings of late. But generous souls like yourself give me hope that we may emerge from this trial even stronger. I pray we meet again in more peaceful times.

Optional dialogue

Kamala: Pack it all up, and quickly, now! We'll not let any of our precious fabrics be trampled and torn by those beasts!

Speak with Djinabaha. (Cutscene)

Djinabaha: Done as I asked, have you?
Djinabaha: If Kamala is satisfied with your work, then so am I. You have done us a great favor, traveler.
G'raha Tia: I, too, have delivered the instruments and apparatus entrusted to me.
Djinabaha: You both have my thanks. With our wares safely stored away, we'll not lose any more to those fiends.
G'raha Tia: I take it that your establishment did not escape the attack unscathed?
Djinabaha: We did not. Thankfully, most of our workers had already left for the day. But those of us still here saw it all...
Djinabaha: We looked to the burning skies in confusion...and then, before we could even begin to make sense of it, a hideous creature burst through the doors, shrieking...
Djinabaha: We ran for our lives, but one of my colleagues was not so fortunate. He cried out ─ a scream of such agony, such terror ─ and in the next instant, he, too, sprouted fearsome claws...
Djinabaha: The sight of it caused another fellow to panic, and then...
Djinabaha: He, too, transformed...
Djinabaha: ...I'm sorry. There was something you wanted to ask?
G'raha Tia: Indeed. You knew the merchant Khalzahl, did you not? I believe he had some dealings with your establishment.
Djinabaha: Khalzahl? I know him well. We'd arranged for his consortium to deliver a large shipment of fabrics, but in the end, we received a better offer, and had to turn him down.
Djinabaha: I understand his business is struggling, but so is ours. Another of our most reliable trading partners agreed to transport the goods for a much smaller commission, and we'd have been fools to refuse.
Djinabaha: I felt terrible for withdrawing the offer...but you must understand, we simply had no choice.
Djinabaha: He tried to put on a brave face when I delivered the news, but his dejection and despair were plain as day. He said he'd discuss it with his associates, but I could tell he'd all but given up hope...
G'raha Tia: Dejection...and despair.
G'raha Tia: You remember what we saw in Vanaspati, yes? Soldiers and jungle dwellers pushed to the very brink turning into beasts one after the next...
G'raha Tia: It would seem the same phenomenon occurred here. The poor craftsmen attacked by the fiends, as well as those that witnessed it...all undergoing the change.
G'raha Tia: I suspect that everything began with Khalzahl. By all accounts, it was he who suffered from the most profound and piercing despair...
G'raha Tia: ...Wait. Could that be it? That such intense emotions were what triggered his transformation?
G'raha Tia: Much remains unclear, but I believe we are drawing closer to an answer. At any rate, we must discuss our findings with the others.
