Diederik: Oh, sorry. I didn't see you there. I was just thinking. Diederik: Hey, would you happen to be an adventurer? Diederik: I knew it! Diederik: If you have a moment, could you listen to what I have to say? Listen to Diederik's problems? Sure. I'm busy right now. Diederik: Oh, thank you! I was starting to get desperate! Diederik: I've been working knots in my stomach worrying about this... Diederik: Anyway, I guess I'd better start from the beginning. Diederik: The name's Diederik. I'm currently working as a middleman to fulfill my customers' needs. Diederik: The other day, one of my clients, an old man in Bastok, said he wanted a painting. So I put in an order with a painter from Windurst. Diederik: Her name was...Angelica, I think it was. She seems to be rather well known among adventurers. Diederik: Anyway, I picked up the finished painting and everything seemed to be going fine... Diederik: That is, until my ship was attacked by pirates. Diederik: We were lucky that no one on board was harmed. But afterwards, I couldn't find the painting anywhere. Diederik: I'm supposed to deliver it soon, though, and it puts me in a sweat just thinking about it! Diederik: Not only that, but my client is a cranky old man who'll string me up by the ears if he doesn't get what he wants! I can't face that! Diederik: He's not going to let me off easy after losing his precious painting. Diederik: Even explaining what happened wouldn't do any good with such a sour person. Diederik: That's why I can't go to him. I don't know what I'd say! I was about to go back to Angelica and see if she would redo the painting for me... Diederik: ...but I can't tell her, either! She's so passionate and loves her craft so much, I'm afraid I'd break down if I saw the disappointment on her face when I told her I lost the painting. Diederik: You see, I'm hopeless. I can't carry this burden alone! Diederik: Hey! You're an adventurer, so I bet you know Angelica, don't you? Diederik: You even modeled for one of her paintings? Excellent! Diederik: I bet she would listen to you if you asked her to redo a painting... Diederik: Hey! I just got a brilliant idea! Why don't you go and ask Angelica to redo the painting? Diederik: You just heard why I couldn't go! You're my only option! Diederik: You're her friend, so of course she'll listen to you! Diederik: Not that I have the courage to face that old scrooge alone, either... Adventuring Fellow Name: Greetings, Player name. Diederik: This a friend of yours? Adventuring Fellow Name: Player name and I occasionally adventure together. Were you discussing important matters? Diederik: Well, actually, I'm in a bit of a fix. I'd appreciate it if you could hear me out, too. Adventuring Fellow Name: I see. You must have been disappointed to lose the painting to pirates. Adventuring Fellow Name: I suppose I should accompany Player name on his/her journey. Diederik: Wait a minute. Since there are two of you now, I've got one more thing I wonder if you could do for me. Adventuring Fellow Name: Earning time, sir? Diederik: I want you to bring that old crank an empty box... Diederik: And I want you to tell him that it holds the painting, but that he can't open it until you say he can, because the painting is so delicate, you see? Diederik: That scrooge'll believe that the painting is in the box, and we'll have earned enough time to get the real thing! Diederik: When Angelica finishes the painting, we can just exchange it for the empty box, and the old man will be none the wiser! Diederik: That way, I won't have to tell him I lost the painting... Diederik: ...and I can avoid punishment... Diederik: However, I can't do it alone! That's right! I need your help, brave adventurers! Adventuring Fellow Name: So you want us to deceive an elderly man. Adventuring Fellow Name: It appears to be a necessary sacrifice, though. We will help. Diederik: So, Player name, which will it be? Diederik: Would you rather go to Angelica to reorder the painting, or would you rather come with me to the old man's place to earn time? Angelica. Adventuring Fellow Name: I will earn time, then. May luck be with you, Player name. Diederik: Well then, it's decided. Thanks--this is a big load off my back. Things are starting to look up for me! Diederik: We should be fine, with all three of us working together! Diederik: I'll go get ready now. |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Windurst Waters |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Windurst Waters |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Castle Oztroja |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Castle Oztroja |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Castle Oztroja |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Windurst Waters |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |- BGCOLOR="#FFA500" !Picture Perfect - Bastok Markets |- BGCOLOR="#FFEC8B" |TBA |}
