The Caravan's New Clothes

Journal text

On success
Yugen will now be able to sell akagian cotton to the rest of Ardenfall.
On failure
I was unable to come to a deal with Kioko or find a piece of Akagian Cotton to give to Yugen.

Phases

  1. Phase 1: Talk to the Nasuke's

    Objectives

    1. Objective 1: Talk to Kioko Nasuke about Yugen's offer

      Journal: If I am to get anywhere with this, I should begin by speaking with the Nasuke family. Perhaps I can find some leeway where Yugen could not.

      Failure: Kioko Nasuke will not sell the fiber. She made that clear before I could finish my offer.

    2. Objective 2: Talk to Kioko's husband about Yugen's proposal

      Hidden objective

      Failure: Shojiro Nasuke was no more welcoming than his wife. He hid behind shrugs and small talk, but the answer was the same: no.

    3. Objective 3: Clear the Nasuke Homestead's Ganura paddies of Snappers

      Hidden objective

      Journal: Kioko refused to speak, but said she might reconsider listening if I deal with the snappers infesting her Ganura paddies.

      Success: I have cleared the Ganura paddies of Snappers.

    4. Objective 4: Acquire a sample of Akagian Cotton for Yugen the Silk

      Journal: Yugen the Silk has asked that I secure a sample of Akagian Cotton - no ordinary cloth, by his telling, but a rare weave grown and spun only by the Nasuke family. Their homestead lies just beyond the outskirts of Akaga.

      Success: I have the Akagian Cotton. The Nasuke were reluctant, but I secured a sample all the same. All thats left is to present it to Yugen back in Akaga.

    5. Objective 5: Clear the Ogobi at the bridge where Shojiro likes to fish

      Hidden objective

      Journal: Shojiro said he will sign the documents and give me a sample of the cotton—if I clear the Ogobi nesting under the old stone bridge where he likes to fish. He says if I keep following the road away from Akaga, I will see it stretching over a lake.

      Success: I have taken care of the Ogobi for Shojiro.

    6. Objective 6: Inform Shojiro the Ogobi are gone

      Hidden objective

  2. Phase 2: Turned Down

    Journal entry

    The Nasukes are being unreasonable. Every conversation circles back to the same dead end. I will have to take a sample for myself … or return to Yugen and tell him the deal is finished.

    Objectives

    1. Objective 1: Steal a sample of Akagian Cotton for Yugen
    2. Objective 2: Tell Yugen you were unable to secure a deal with the Nasukes
  3. Phase 3: Return to Yugen with the fabric.

    Objectives

    1. Objective 1: Talk to Yugen

Rewards

  • Experience: Medium

  • Gold: 500
