Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Rostnzeh: Whilst the carvin's help keep me head clear, a bit o' company would ease the solitude. Truth is, with each turn o' the sun I creep ever closer to the brink o' madness.
Rostnzeh: All day and all night, I dream of someone who might rescue me from this prison. Someone broad and hale, with skin the color of the sea, and eyes what'll suck you in like a maelstrom... Someone like Ghimthota...
Rostnzeh: I's been enchanted by her sweet magicks since I first saw her—a young lass from the Moraby Drydocks on patrol of the Gods' Grip. she smiled at me, but I was too et up inside by fear to meet her gaze. and now, since her promotion to head watch, she can't be bothered to make the climb.
Rostnzeh: I would tell her how it is I feel...but me duty to the sailors—Wait! Might be you could tell her for me! I'd make it worth yer while. Ye could take her a nice La Noscean lilybell. You think she'd like that? Aye, I reckon she'd like that. Ain't met a woman what didn't like flowers.

Delivering the Lily to Ghimthota

Ghimthota: A gift for me from the candlekeep at Oschon's Torch? But I don't recall ever meeting anyone—
Ghimthota: Ah, a La Noscean lilybell... Yes, it's coming back to me now. Rostnzeh, I believe his name was. I remember specifically commenting on how I despised my patrols through the Gods' Grip for the area is full of La Noscean lilybells, and the terrible weeds always send me into sneezing fits.
Ghimthota: While I am...uh, flattered, I'm afraid I cannot return the gesture. As head watch of the Moraby Drydocks, it is my responsibility to see that the peace is kept until the Victory's christening. I simply haven't the time to pay would-be suitors any mind, no matter how desperate they may be.
Ghimthota: Though...perhaps once the ship is complete, I could consider a climb up the peninsula...perhaps.
