Bill

A spiteful beast threatens desert travelers, and now fixes its gaze upon our humble camp. We can ignore this threat no longer! Hunters, to arms!

Related Dialogue & Scenes

Dantro [after agreeing to speak to petitioner]: You’re here about the bill I posted? That’s the first good news I’ve had all day! So, you’ll hunt this flowering cactoid for me?

>Accept

That’s what I wanted to hear! So, let’s tell you what you need to know. You probably saw some creatures that look like cactuses on your way here from Rabanastre. Speak of the devil…

[The camera switches to two cactoids who have appeared on the nearby ledge.]

You’ve seen ‘em before, right? Mostly they keep to themselves. Mostly.

[Back to Dantro.]

But every now and then a different sort of cactoid comes along, has a flower on its head. They’re the troublemakers. Smarter than your average cactoid, and they have a taste for blood. Can’t count how many times they’ve attacked the outpost. But they don’t dare attack while I’m on watch. They tried that once, learned their lesson. Look, there it is now.

[Now the camera zooms in on the cliff above, where a troupe of cactoids have appeared, one with a pink blossom on its head.]

The flowering cactoid’s the one up front. Look at it there, mocking us…

[Back to Dantro, and the seeq talking to him runs to the cliff to yell at the cactoids.]

They did a number on this poor seeq’s belongings, too. Needles everywhere… I’d hunt it down myself, but I’m stuck here on watch. I asked a passing merchant to submit the bill for me, and that’s where you come into the story. The flowering cactoid’s been lurking out in the Yardang Labyrinth. Do us all a favor and hunt it down for me!

Oh, and when you kill it, don’t forget to take the flower! The apothecaries can make a potent salve from its petals.

>Decline

Then why are you botherin’ me? Bad enough my replacement still isn’t here. I don’t need people wastin’ my time.

Dantro [after accepting the hunt]: That flowering cactoid’s been raiding the outpost. It’s always one step ahead of us… It’s been lurking out in the Yardang Labyrinth. Do us all a favor and hunt it down for me! And when you kill it, don’t forget to take the flower. The apothecaries can make a potent salve from its petals.

[After defeating the Flowering Cactoid…]

[You obtain a Cactus Flower!]

Dantro [after defeating the Flowering Cactoid]: That’s a cactus flower! Wish I could’ve been there when you put that overgrown cactus in its place. Here’s your bounty. I know it’s not much, but it’s the best I could do. Thanks for your help!

Dantro (x2): Think I can ask you to do one last thing for me? That cactus flower… would you take that to my wife for me? She’s in the village north of here. She’s been tending to a sick traveler found near the village, and I think she might be able to prepare some medicine from that flower. The village is on the south bank of the Nebra. Oh, and tell them to send someone to relieve me while you’re there!

Rabanastran/Gatsly [In Muthru Bazaar, before the Consul’s parade]: Business has been slow these days. I’ve been looking for something new to sell – you know, try and turn things around. If I don’t come up with something soon, I may have to close shop. I’ve no time to be worrying about parades and banquets.

Gatsly [In the Sandsea, before agreeing to speak to petitioner]: I’m at my wit’s end. If that shipment doesn’t get through… I don’t know what I’ll do. There has to be a hunter out there who’ll do it…

Gatsly [after agreeing to speak to petitioner]: You saw my bill? My bill to hunt Thextera? If you’re lookin’ for Gatsly, you found him. I own a shop over in the Bazaar, but times have been tough. So I put in an order for some new goods, hoping to stir up some business. Put up everything I own as collateral against that shipment. Trouble is, this beastie in the Westersand’s been attacking the caravans. As it happens, my goods are supposed to be arriving by way of the Westersand, too. If this Thextera were to attack, what of my goods? Please, you must kill Thextera for me! Accept the hunt, and I’ll tell you where to find it.

>Accept

Now we’re talkin’! Thextera stalks the Westersand in a region known as Galtea Downs. The caravan drivers said they were set upon along the cliff wall to your left as you leave the city via the west gate. I’m depending on you. If our shop goes under, my wife and I will be turned out on the streets.

>Decline

If something happens to that caravan, I don’t know what will become of us…

Gatsly [after accepting the hunt]: I wagered my shop’s future on this shipment. A fine time for this Thextera to be ravaging the Westersand. The caravan drivers said they were set upon along the cliff wall to your left as you leave the city via the west gate, in Galtea Downs. I’m depending on you. If our shop goes under, my wife and I will be turned out on the streets.

Gatsly [after defeating Thextera]: You did it! You brought down Thextera! Thank you! Thank you so much! You’ve saved me and my wife. This isn’t much, but I want you to take it for helping us out.

Well, it’s time I headed back to my shop. Say, you should stop by sometime! Maybe I’ll have a little something for you. I’m afraid it won’t be much, so don’t go too far out of your way. But if you happen to be near the Bazaar, say hello. Agreed?

Gatsly [back in the Muthru Bazaar, after having collected your reward]: Oh, hello! I wanted to thank you again for your help. Our shipment arrived safely, and business has been brisk. Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten our arrangement. Go to a nearby shop – any will do – and look in the bazaar goods. I put together a little something from the goods we received. You shouldn’t have any trouble finding it.

Gatsly (x2): Have you made it to a shop to look at the Bazaar Goods, yet? If not, you really ought to. Oh, and thanks once again!
