- Player
- Oh no. What’s wrong?
- Reth
- What isn’t wrong today, sweet tooth/fancy pants?
- Woke up on the wrong side of the bed, I got this weird crick in my neck-

Dialogue and Mail
Introduction
Letter from Reth
Dear (Player),
Hey. Uh, I'm in some deep ormuu dung right now. It's a little bit of a big deal.
Can you meet me in our 'secret spot'?
Reth
Progression
Upon speaking to Reth in the Secret Spot
- Reth
- You’re here! Okay, uh, that’s good.
- That’s really good, actually.
- Man am I glad to see your face right now.
- Player
- It’s good to see you too.
- Reth
- You might not be saying that after this conversation.
- I messed up, fancy pants/sweet tooth. Like, cataclysmic. Apocalyptic.
- The end of my short and charming stint as your local chef-turned-criminal.
- Oh yeah, and I’m probably going to jail.
- Player
- What happened?
- Eshe happened. Palian society happened. My own dumb mistakes happened.
- And now Tish is gonna pay for it all.
- Player
- Is this about Tish’s condition?
- Reth
- Yeah, I guess it is. Not a lot of people know about it... not even Tish.
- She's sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.
- Player
- What does Tish have to do with it?
- Reth
- I guess I owe you an explanation.
- Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.
- Player
- Sounds rough. I’m in.
- Reth
- Wait. What? I haven't told you what's going on. But you're offering to help, just like that?
- Player
- Yup.
- Reth
- ...Huh. Well, I'm going to tell you anyways, because it's kind of eating me up inside and you're like my only real friend.
- Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.
- Player
- I mean, a little more info wouldn't hurt.
- Reth
- Tish is sick. Has been sick, for a while. The only reason she's still around is because of the deal I made with the cartel.
- And her treatment's in a shipment that just got seized by the Magistrate for investigation.
- Her Flow-powered, highly illegal treatment.
- Player
- Why couldn’t the Majiri help her?
- Reth
- Because only Flow, the real heavy duty illegal kind, could help.
- Trust me, we tried everything when she got sick. I dragged her to every healer in the area. None of them could do anything for her.
- I need you to get that shipment for me. Before Eshe opens it and finds out what's inside.
- Player
- How can I help?
- Reth
- I need you to get that shipment for me. Before Eshe opens it and finds out what's inside.
- Player
- How much time do I have?
- Reth
- It’s hard to say. She can’t just open packages the moment she seizes them. There are rules, and bureaucracy involved. She’s gotta get approved.
- It could be days. Could be weeks. Could be hours.
- But eventually, she will open it. And you can say bye-bye Reth. And bye-bye Tish.
- Player
- I’m NOT going to let that happen.
- Reth
- Thanks, (Player). Man, I should figure out some better ways to thank you, Huh? I'm saying it a lot these days.
- Player
- Gotcha. One heist coming up.
- Reth
- I'm kind of jealous I can't come help. A heist with you sounds fun.
- Player
- I’ll try my best.
- Reth
- That’s all I need. I know this is a lot to ask.
- Player
- This will be a disaster.
- Reth
- Isn't everything, with me?
- Eshe locked the shipment somewhere in City Hall. Ask around if you can, just be careful not to implicate me. Or yourself.
Upon asking Kenli
- Player
- I need a favor...
- Kenli
- Oh! It’s so good to see you. I’ve been quite lonely lately.
- Eshe has me guarding some shipment of something-or-other in the storage room, and let me tell you. It is quite taxing!
- Er, did you need something?
- Player
- Well-
- Kenli
- (information needed)
- Player
- I-
- Kenli
- (information needed)
- Player
- Yes-
- Kenli
- I'm so sorry, I can't possibly concentrate right now.
- You see, I'm absolutely famished. Eshe's got me doing some sort of guard duty right now, and I didn't get a chance to grab breakfast. Or lunch. And probably no dinner tonight either...
- Player
- Maybe we can help each other out.
- Kenli
- Really? You'd help me?
- Player
- If you help me.
- Kenli
- I would quite literally do anything right now for a steak dinner.
- Bring me that, and you can have whatever you'd like.
- Player
- Oh, you poor thing!
- Kenli
- (information needed)
- Player
- That's nice. Get out of my way.
- Kenli
- (information needed)
- Player
- I can come back later...
- Kenli
- (information needed)
- Player
- I brought you a steak.
- Kenli
- You did? You did! And here I was, nearly about to pass out from hunger.
- Ahhh, that hit the spot. I feel like I can think clearly for the first time all day!
- Now, err... you needed something, right?
- Player
- I need a key to the storeroom.
- Kenli
- Oh, is that all? Here you go.
- And here I thought you were about to make me an accomplice in a crime or something!
- Er. But if Eshe asks, you didn't get anything from me, alright?
- Player
- A key to the storage room.
- Kenli
- Oh! Why would you need something like that?
- Player
- I left my coat inside.
- Kenli
- Why didn't you say so? Yes, that seems perfectly on the level to me.
- Lucky for you, she happened to give me a spare key. She insisted I not lose it, but well.
- Player
- Eshe asked me to take over for you.
- Kenli
- Did she? Oh, good. I’m not cut out for guard duty.
- Here, the spare key she gave me. She insisted I not lose it, but well.
- Giving it to a friend isn’t losing it at all!
Upon asking Eshe
- Eshe
- Finally, someone competent! It is good to see you.
- It seems as if I am drowning in an endless sea of fools today.
- Player
- Can I help?
- Eshe
- Some refreshing conversation would do the trick, but I am far too busy to engage in it.
- Player
- That sounds tough...
- Eshe
- No, poorly cooked meat is tough. This is simply another headache my incompetent husband is incapable of dealing with himself.
- The criminal underbelly in Kilima has become quite brazen in the past couple weeks.
- Why, just recently I seized a shipment that tried to slip by without filling out the proper forms.
- And now I must petition... the Duchess for approval to investigate.
- As if every decision in Kilima must be made according to her whims.
- Player
- I could help guard the shipment for you.
- Eshe
- I have enlisted my useless husband to do that. Not that he makes a particularly fearsome guard...
- Hmm. Perhaps you could help. WIth that buffoon so occupied, the paperwork has begun piling up.
- Very well. Here is a copy of the keys. You will ensure no one enters without my express permission, do you understand?
Upon asking Kenyatta
- Player
- Want to help me steal from your mom?
- Kenyatta
- I've never wanted to do anything more, ever, in my life.
- You don't even have to tell me the plan. I'm in.
- Player
- That was easy.
- Kenyatta
- It's like you don't even know me. Like, hello? What have I been trying to do with my life basically since I was born?
- Okay, maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but I'm bored. This should spice things up.
- Player
- I'm still going to tell you the plan.
- Kenyatta
- Ugh. Like, if you have to. Whatever, I'm listening.
- Player
- (explain the situation)
- Kenyatta
- So you need me to find my mom's storage room, steal whatever's inside, and get out without being caught?
- Player
- Basically.
- Player
- Well, when you put it like that...
- Kenyatta
- I'm in. I'll send you a letter when I'm done.
Letter from Kenyatta if you chose her
Dear (Player),
I've got the goods, but you SO owe me an explanation for this one. Don't worry, my mom's got no idea what's going on.
Come stop by and get your crazy illegal stuff.
Kenyatta
Upon meeting with Kenyatta
- Kenyatta
- Hey, there you are! When you told me to steal from my mom, you didn't mention it was Flow.
- Player
- I'm so sorry.
- Kenyatta
- Sorry? What for? If my mom knew I helped smuggle Flow... oh my dragon, she'd be SO upset.
- Player
- Did I have to?
- Kenyatta
- A heads up woulda been nice is all. Stealing from my mom is funny. Getting caught with Flow I wasn't expecting isn't.
- Player
- Doesn't that just make it more exciting?
- Kenyatta
- You're right. My mother would FLIP if she found out I did this.
- Anyways, here you go. You so owe me for this.
Conclusion
Upon returning to Reth in the Storeroom
- Reth
- Oh, uh, hey sweet tooth/fancy pants. I totally wasn't crying behind those crates. Everything's fine with me.
- Soooo... do you have it?
- Player
- (hand over the package)
- Reth
- Wait, this is... you really did it!
- Not gonna lie, I was half expecting you to show up with some bad news.
- How’d you pull this off?
- Player
- I asked Kenli.
- Reth
- You just asked him? And he handed it over? Ha!
- Player
- I bribed Kenli.
- Reth
- Why didn't I think of that? Let me guess, steak?
- Player
- I tricked Eshe.
- Reth
- ...I underestimated you, (Player). It takes a lot to fool her. Trust me, I've tried.
- Player
- Kenyatta helped me.
- Reth
- Kenyatta, huh? Maybe she's got more guts than I gave her credit for.
- Listen, I know it might seem like I'm taking this lightly, but that's just how my face looks. I really thought this was it for me.
- But you saved me. Saved Tish. You could have asked for the whole world from me and I woulda given it, but you didn't ask for anything.
- Doesn't mean I won't try to pay you back. Come on, there's gotta be something you want.
- Player
- The whole world.
- Reth
- Done. I'll start my world domination schemes tomorrow.
- Player
- I just want you and Tish to be okay.
- Reth
- That’s... sweet. Like, too sweet. I think I have a toothache now.
- Alright, alright. I'm joking. I'm just not used to... people caring.
- Player
- Just your friendship!
- Reth
- You already had that, (Player).
- Player
- A future favor.
- Reth
- Way to make it sound ominous.
- You've got it. Anything you need, Reth's your man.
- But seriously. I know nothing can really repay what you did for us, but maybe this is a start. Made fresh for you, sweet tooth/fancy pants. And there are way more bribes where that came from.
Post-Quest
Optional: If Player got the key from Eshe
- Eshe
- As you know, I seized a highly-suspicious shipment recently and stowed it in my store room for safekeeping.
- I enlisted your help in guarding it... yet somehow, it managed to disappear while YOU were on watch.
- Care to explain what happened?
- Player
- I don't know anything.
- Eshe
- You're the only one who had access to that package, and you insist you don't know what became of it?
- Player
- Not really, but thanks for asking!
- Eshe
- Don't play those silly little games with me! You know as well as I do that you were the only one with access to that package.
- This is your last chance to tell me the truth.
- Player
- ...
- Eshe
- ...
- Player
- I can't.
- Eshe
- What do you mean, you can't?
- ...
- I'll let your little mishap slide just this once. I won't be so nice next time.
