Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Parbeloix: Madam, I say, madam. I seem to be in a bit of a bind, and I was wondering if you might lend your aid to remedy the plight of a struggling student.
Parbeloix: Oh, of course─introductions. I am Parbeloix, from the Studium, where my research involves the finer points of bacteria and fungi.
Parbeloix: I'm here to harvest mushrooms from Labyrinthos for my experiments, but I'm afraid I may be in over my head.
Parbeloix: You see, the mushrooms are located in the thirty-third facet, but that shaft is positively swarming with things I can scarce stand to look at, let alone face in combat.
Parbeloix: It isn't uncommon for members of the Studium to request help from the more martially inclined, and so here I am before you. Will you procure the mushrooms for me? I would be forever in your debt.
Parbeloix: Oh, thank you, good madam! Well then, the sample number for my plot is three-one-six. The mushrooms stand out among the others, with red caps and a distinctive triangle shape.
Parbeloix: Just in case, however, I do have this illustration. I understand all too well the impulse to become lost gazing at the fungi─perhaps this will help keep you on track.
Parbeloix: If you find the sheer variety of mushrooms to be overwhelming, then simply consult the picture and it should put you back on track.
(Optional)
Parbeloix: Please return with the crop labeled sample three-one-six. If you forget how they look, simply consult the illustration I gave you and resume the merry harvest.

Consult the illustration to find and obtain sample 316

(Optional)
System: This appears to be an illustration of sample 316. Find the matching mushrooms within the vast thirty-third facet.

(Picking up Orange Mushroom)
System: These don't appear to be the correct mushrooms, although they do have a certain charm...

(Picking up Black Mushroom)
System: These don't appear to be the correct mushrooms, although they do have a certain charm...

(Picking up a full cluster of Blue Mushroom)
System: These don't appear to be the correct mushrooms, although they do have a certain charm...

(Picking up a single Red Mushroom)
System: These don't appear to be the correct mushrooms, although they do have a certain charm...

(Picking up a cluster of three Red Mushroom)
System: These mushrooms match the illustration in your hands. Your long search is over!

Deliver sample 316 to Parbeloix

Parbeloix: Well, I can see by the dirt on your boots that you did some manner of digging. Were you able to find my sample?
Parbeloix: Ah, yes, these match my illustration exactly! Thank the Twelve that the brave of heart still walk this realm.
Parbeloix: Do you have an interest in fungi yourself? These were developed from the spores of the elfstool, which can only be found in the Aurum Vale. A rare mushroom, but these are superior in every way.
Parbeloix: For one, they are much less inclined to kill you. A vast improvement by any measure of the word.
Parbeloix: Of course, I've had my failures, but the less said about those, the better. What matters is now, and the revolution sample three-one-six is sure to herald!

(Optional)
Parbeloix: I am from the Studium, here to gain practical knowledge of how to cultivate fungi. Being in the outdoors does have its advantages over those stuffy stacks of books.
