Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Muscular Alchemist: You there! Adventurer! I find myself in need of assistance. You will help me, won't you?
Muscular Alchemist: You see, I received an order for custom paints, but the necessary ingredients are rather rare. The amra in particular is difficult to come by, as it must be taken from a vajralangula.
Muscular Alchemist: And not just any old fruit will do! Only one held by the strongest, most virile male specimen will suffice.
Muscular Alchemist: I know of a sure way to attract a suitable vajralangula, but I'm afraid defeating the beast is beyond me. If only a strong, brave, kind adventurer could protect poor little me!

< What will you say? > 
< I'm at your servicee! >
< I expect a handsome reward. >

< Both >
Muscular Alchemist: I feel safer already! Come now, I will lead you to where the vajralangula gather. We head southeast.

Speak with the muscular alchemist

Muscular Alchemist: I've kept you waiting long enough. Let's get to it, shall we?
Muscular Alchemist: Take this perfume and douse my frail, meager body in it. I must be as a flower dripping with sweet nectar!
Muscular Alchemist: Quickly, now! Slather it on, else I won't catch the attention of even the weakest vajralangula.

Coat the muscular alchemist in Fragrant Oil

Muscular Alchemist: Perfect! I'm positively irresistible!
Muscular Alchemist: Now, I'll use my wiles and enticing scent to lure a vajralangula this way. You wait here, and prepare to strike him down!

(Optional)
Muscular Alchemist: I'll lure a vajralangula this way. You wait here, and prepare to strike!

Deliver the Amra to the muscular alchemist

Muscular Alchemist: Such valiance! I could hardly tear my eyes away as you heroically slayed the beast! ...Now, the fruit, if you please.
(Hand over Amra)
Muscular Alchemist: Mmm, yes. Perfectly, succulently ripe. This will make a fine paint.
Muscular Alchemist: Our work here is done. Let us return to the Great Work before another vajralangula sets its sights on me.

Speak with the muscular alchemist

Muscular Alchemist: Many thanks for your assistance, adventurer. I never imagined I could procure such a fine component for my paint.
Muscular Alchemist: Say, do you know why the vajralangula carry this fruit? They present them to their desired mates. Hence the scented oils. Pheromones, you see.
Muscular Alchemist: The amra is also the official fruit of Thavnair. You can eat it or use it as painting material as I shall, of course, but it is also said to ward off evil, and secure a strong family lineage.
Muscular Alchemist: But there's more to this fruit than mere superstition. It has sufficient antibacterial properties to be used as a household remedy to keep any family well.
Muscular Alchemist: Oh but listen to me, rambling on and on! Allow me to thank you once more. I hope our paths will cross again!
