Accepting the quest
Praise the Twelve, another adventurer! I've been wandering around this godsdamned city for hours!
I was hired for some simple express deliveries in Ul'dah before realizing the destination was...bloody Radz-at-Han. Simple, my arse. After coming all this way, I still don't know where I'm supposed to go!
I'm at my wit's end and running out of time! These letters have a tight deadline and if I don't deliver them, I won't merely lose my job—I'll lose my head!
Could I ask you to take these two missives to the High Crucible and House Balyk, respectively? I can manage the third one on my own. Return and meet me here when the job's done, and I'll see you're duly compensated for your efforts.
Deliver the letters.
Isu
Welcome to the High Crucible of Al-Kimiya, friend! How might I be of service?
The player hands over the Letter to the High Crucible.
What's that? You've a letter addressed to us? Why, this is from Master Jalzahn! Last I heard, he was doing field research in Eorzea. I do hope all's well...
...Why, I can scarce believe it! Word of our plight reached him from across the sea, and he's arranged for a shipment of vital supplies to be shipped from Rowena's House of Splendors!
That he would be thinking of us in these trying times, even as he doubtless is facing his own fair share of hardships. Truly, he is a great man. But forgive me...I must make arrangements to have the shipment picked up in Yedlihmad at once!
Optional dialogue
Master Jalzahn is truly our savior, and a paragon for alchemists everywhere. I cannot thank you enough for delivering his message to us.
Daughter of House Balyk
What business have you with the esteemed House Balyk?
The player hands over the Letter to House Balyk.
An urgent letter? Let me see... Why, it's from dear Ardashir! At least we now know he is not out begging on the streets!
Ardashir is the youngest son of our House. Father was upset he forsook blood and nation to tinker with soot-stained alembics, and thus he never wrote.
He never even told us how we might contact him, so we've naturally been worried sick. Now he writes...that he's found a new trading associate for Father? Some merchant named Rowena. He says she can help us in our plight.
What a peculiar topic for him to write about. He was always so recalcitrant about the family business. Perhaps he is homesick and trying to make amends?
Nevertheless, we are delighted to hear from him. It is true that our country is in a precarious position. But I am elated to know my brother is safe and happy in Eorzea.
Thank you for delivering this letter. I will share it with my sisters at once.
Speak with the anxious adventurer.
<huff> <huff> ...Just delivered the last one!
I've heard horrible rumors of Rowena's punishments if you fail your task. Like scrubbing grime from warehouse tiles with a paintbrush! In plate! You really saved my skin, friend!
I wanted to become an adventurer so badly, and she tempted me with this beautiful set of armor. Said I could put it on credit and work off my debt.
Before I knew it, I found myself playing errand girl to the House of Splendors! Oh, I don't fault her for it—an adventurer needs armor, after all. But my word if she isn't a shrewd one!
Anyroad, thank you for your help. Here, I'll give you half of the House's commission for the job. Take it, you've earned it!
