Offer Alewyn's tonic to Landebert.

Journal

Alewyn has need of an adventurer to help him test a revolutionary new medicine.

Alewyn has just developed what he claims to be a revolutionary new medicine, which can be used to treat all manner of maladies. He has yet to test its effectiveness, though, and bids you offer the tonic to Landebert, a leader amongst the Ala Mhigan refugees living in Pearl Lane.

Landebert is well aware of Alewyn's true motives. However, despite the danger in relying on untested alchemical concoctions, the refugees have no choice but to accept Alewyn's so-called goodwill.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Alewyn: Yes, yes... Yes! At last, my work is complete!

Alewyn: Mark my words: this formula will revolutionize alchemy as we know it! With just a sip of this tonic, even raging fevers will be instantly extinguished!

Alewyn: But I must needs test it, adventurer! While I produce more, I bid you take this batch to Pearl Lane, to a man there named Landebert. He is trusted by the other refugees.

Alewyn: Persuade this Landebert to take my tonic and give it to his people. I require nothing in exchange—after all, if it is truly effective, it will be a tremendous boon to the advancement of the alchemic arts...and, uh, mankind at large!

Speaking to Landebert

Landebert: Eh? Medicine for the sick?

Landebert: Hah! We're not fools, girl/boy. We know full well what that bastard Alewyn is up to.

Landebert: ...But we'll accept his medicine nonetheless. Look at us—beggars can't be choosers. Might be as it's a mere experiment to him, but to us it's a matter of life and death. If we've got to choose between this bastard's swill and nothing at all, is it really a choice?
