Dialogue
Quest DescriptionWhile passing a lumberyard south of Morepesok, you unexpectedly ran into some Volkodlaks harassing the local workers... Looks like it's trouble stirred up by gang members again? Seems like it's time for you to step in.
- (Talk to Galyobov, optional)
- Galyobov: It's no use... It's all pointless anyway...
- (Approach the location found on
"Legendary Thief's Treasure" Location) - Dashkov: The great detective of Chicota? Of course I've heard of you. But like I've said time and time again—
- Dashkov: There's nothing illegal going on here. Everything's above board and entirely consensual... Hey, Ikita! Tell the detective — have I said a single false word?
- Dashkov: Oh, right. This fellow's an old gambling addict. Gambled away everything he had to pawn except himself and his family.
- Dashkov: It was us, the Izmaylov, who gave him a chance to work off what he owed. Once his debt's paid, he gets to go home to his family.
- Dashkov: If it'd been some other gang... well, he might never have seen them again. Isn't that right, Ikita?
- Ikita: Yes... I owe Izmaylov money. I'm working here of my own free will to pay off my debt...
- Dashkov: There you have it, detective. You heard it straight from him. Nothing to see here.
- ???: I don't believe it... Not a single one of them has any life in their eyes. There's no way this is a normal workplace.
- ???: I want to question the workers in private. No members of the Izmaylov are to be present.
- Dashkov: *sigh*... So we're done playing nice, huh? Detective, your friends must've told you you're terrible at reading the room.
- ???: What? N—No one's ever said that to me!
- Dashkov: Oh? Then I suppose you've never had anyone you'd actually call a friend. Can't say I'm surprised.
- Dashkov: Here's the bad news: everyone here is my friend. And they all happen to share one admirable quality — they know how to keep their mouths shut.
- ???: What were you talking about...
- Dashkov: I mean that no matter what happens to you here... no one's ever going to hear about it.
- (Defeat the enemies)
- Donya: Thanks for your help earlier. I'm Detective Donya from Chicota. You can just call me Donya. May I ask your names?
- Paimon: (He/
She)'s (Traveler), and Paimon's Paimon! We're... adventurers who can't stand injustice and step in whenever trouble shows up! - Donya: I see. Still, I've made a fool of myself in front of you two. I'm not very good at negotiation... Even though I promised myself I wouldn't act on impulse before coming here, I still ended up...
- Donya: It really does shame me compared to the teachings of my seniors. But I do remember one thing they said: "The mark of a qualified detective is the courage to step forward at the critical moment!"
- Donya: I suppose... at least on that point, I am "qualified"! Let's just say that earlier counted as one of those "critical moments"!
So basically... anything counts as a "critical moment" if you step in?- Paimon: Hehe, that's exactly how it should be! If you don't even have the courage to step up, how can you call yourself a detective...? Oh, right — are you two here to rescue the lumberyard workers?
- Donya: It's a bit embarrassing to say... My mission was actually a preliminary investigation — an undercover operation into Izmaylov's personnel arrangements in this area before the final sweep.
- Paimon: An undercover operation? But we already beat up their people earlier!
- Donya: Yes... Though we've already alerted them — no, you could say we've triggered a full confrontation. Still, I've managed to pinpoint the location of their stronghold.
- Donya: At this point, I'll have to carry out the final sweep myself!
- You're planning to take them all on alone?
- Donya: Yes. It seems that right after one "critical moment," another one has arrived.
- Paimon: Uh, let's put all this "critical moment" talk aside for now. (Traveler) and I will help too.
- Donya: What wonderfully kind adventurers! If only all adventurers were as helpful as you two...
- Paimon: We can't just stand by and watch you get surrounded instead of doing the surrounding.
- (Follow Donya)

- Salvov: Phew... we're saved! Chicota finally came to rescue us...
- Kiyeta: Detective, they're heavily outnumbering us. We barely managed to break through and escape, so you have to be careful too!
- Kiyeta: Even a whole squad might struggle... Detective, where's your team?
- Donya: Everyone assigned to this operation is right here.
- Salvov: Only three people? No... Two and a half?
- Paimon: Well, Donya doesn't exactly look like she can operate independently as a detective, so she only counts as half...
- Paimon: Hey! That's just rude. Are you looking down on Paimon or something?
- Salvov: Sorry, sorry... I just mean, with only a few of you, I'm worried you might not be a match for the leader of the Izmaylov.
- Salvov: Gusarov is guarding the stronghold... just thinking about him makes me feel like I've stepped into a frozen pit on the tundra — my heart practically stops.
- So how did you manage to escape?
- Paimon: Right! With so many tough guards at the stronghold, how did you get out? Unless... unless you were deliberately let go... Oh, Paimon sees how things turned out here!
- Paimon: It must be a scheme by Izmaylov!
- Donya: Hold on! I'm the detective here — the deduction part should be left to me.
- Donya: Ahem. You're not ordinary workers at all... you're bait released by Izmaylov...
- Donya: The goal is to lure us — preferably as many as possible — into a prepared pocket, and wipe us all out in one sweep!
- Donya: Confess! That's your plan, isn't it!? I'm a trained detective. Don't think your tricks will work on me!
- Kiyeta: Uh... no, detective. I bribed the guards. But we were spotted right after escaping, which is why there are pursuers behind us...
- Salvov: We were really worried about you. If anything happened to you, our lives would get even harder than before...
- Donya: Waaah, this is so embarrassing... I thought I could calmly reveal the truth like my seniors, but it turns out I completely misunderstood...
- Paimon: Hold on, aren't you a detective? Isn't it a bit reckless to believe them so easily!?
- But what they said does make some sense.
- Forget it. Let's just fight our way through first.
- Paimon: Alright, then we'll stick to the original plan... and head to the stronghold first!

- Gusarov: Lukyanov, I've been hearing more and more reports of workers refusing to obey and trying to escape. Care to explain yourself?
- Lukyanov: I take full responsibility, Boss. But... they've been swallowing all those rumors whole. That's what's made them so much bolder...
- Gusarov: Rumors... You mean the ones about the Young Sire falling from power?
- Lukyanov: Exactly. And the boys have also spotted Chicota's hounds sniffing around these past few days. I doubt it'll be long before they make their move.
- Lukyanov: If the Young Sire can't send reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold this territory on our own.
- Lukyanov: Boss, if you ask me... now that we've lost our backer, why don't we seize the "legendary thief's treasure" while we still can? Maybe we won't be living the high life, but at least we'll have something to fall back on...
- Gusarov: Hmm... Even without the Young Sire, the Energy Commission is still around. Sooner or later, they'll have use for the Izmaylov again. We need to weigh the pros and cons carefully.
- Lukyanov: You're right, Boss... But if we let this opportunity slip away—
- Izmaylov Thug: B—Boss! Chicota's here!
- Gusarov: What!? Already? How many of them are there?
- Hello. Three.
- The detectives of Chicota have you surrounded!
- Paimon: Lay down your weapons! If you surrender now, we'll take your cooperation into consideration!
- Donya: P—Paimon! Chicota detectives aren't supposed to negotiate with criminals!
- Donya: And this was supposed to be my "critical moment"... You two stole all the spotlight... Hmph...
- Gusarov: You've got to be kidding me... Just the three of you? The Izmaylov hasn't fallen that low!
- Gusarov: Boys, grab your weapons! Show them what happens when they cross us!
- (Enter a fight)

- (After Gusarov reaches 50% HP)

- (Gusarov starts walking away)
- Gusarov: Hmph... Not bad. You've got some real skill. No point throwing our lives away here... We'll settle this another day!
- Donya: Ah! My "critical moment" is getting away! (Traveler), quick! Let's go after them!

- After some effort, you manage to stuff the defeated Izmaylov members into a nearby cabin...
- Donya: It's locked. Now we just need to notify my colleagues to come take them into custody.
- Donya: And thank you both for your help. This was my first time carrying out a mission on my own. Without you, (Traveler), I don't even want to think about how it would've ended...
- Paimon: You mean your very first solo mission ended with you taking on an entire criminal syndicate!?
- Donya: Well, I stepped up at the critical moment and brought down a criminal organization. I'd call that quite an achievement! Hehe.
- Paimon: I guess you could say that...
- All's well that ends well.
- Paimon: That's not the point! Just because things turned out okay doesn't mean the ends justify the means!
- An organization has no place for people who refuse to follow orders!
- Paimon: What kind of organization are we talking about!? But... Paimon guesses you're right. Rules are important, no matter what organization you're in.
- Paimon: Speaking of which, what about all those workers?
- Donya: If you're worried about them, why don't we go check on them? I know where they'll be. Follow me.
- (Investigate the door, optional)
- Unknown Person's Voice: Hey! Let me out!
- (Talk to the workers)
- Gerik: Detectives! The detectives are here!
- Donya: I'm sorry... Something went wrong with the operation. The plan had to change...
- Gerik: W—What!? D—Don't tell me they found out! Oh no... What are we going to do?
- Gerik: The Izmaylov will never let us go... We're going to die here!
- Gerik: No, we have to leave. Now. Before their thugs show up... *sigh*... There goes my lumberyard... My livelihood...
- Paimon: Whoa, hang on! Donya's mission may have gone off the rails, but everything's been taken care of!
- You explain what happened earlier...
- Gerik: ...So you're saying the thugs who seized my lumberyard have all been brought to justice? We don't have to live in fear anymore?
- Paimon: At least for now. Though... I can't promise they won't come back someday.
- Donya: It doesn't matter. If they dare to show their faces again, I'll do my duty. In the name of the Chicota Detectives, I'll bring them to justice all over again!
- Gerik: Oh, that's reassuring! Then we'll be counting on you.
- Gerik: *sigh* But after everything the Izmaylov did to this place... They didn't just exploit and abuse the workers — they trashed the tools and equipment, too...
- Gerik: Getting the lumberyard up and running again is going to cost a fortune... And I don't even know where that money will come from...
- What about the "critical moment"?
- Come on! Use your "critical moment" to save the day!
- Donya: Hey! A "critical moment" can't solve that... Um, wait. No. My senior did say something once:
- Donya: "When it's time to make a decision, stop, think calmly, and then act. That's the critical moment before the critical moment."
- Paimon: How many "critical moments" are there!? You could string them together into a chain! And besides...
- Paimon: If there's a "critical moment" for staying calm and thinking things through, maybe you should've used that one a little earlier! You charged in without thinking more times than Paimon can count!
- Donya: Hmm... I see now! The critical moment!
- Paimon: What is it? Are you going to beat up the lumberyard until it fixes itself?
- Donya: N—No! I really do have an idea this time. Right before we fought the Izmaylov gang leader...
- Donya: He mentioned something... What was it...?
- The "legendary thief's treasure"!
- Paimon: Oh! Come to think of it, didn't we find a map with a marked location earlier?
- Gerik: Huh? But according to the map, it's the place we already dug up... Wait, all we found there was a bunch of solid ice...
- "Legendary Thief's Treasure" Location
- "Legendary Thief's Treasure" Location
- Gerik: Could that have been...? Uh... Anyway, I'll take you there first.
- (Approach the location of the buried treasure)
- Gerik: Transcription missing
- Donya: Wow! That's a huge block of ice... Hm, if you look closely, is there something inside it?
- Gerik: Inside...? Ah, so the "legendary thief's treasure" is sealed within it. We thought it was just a pile of rocks...
- Paimon: But this ice hasn't melted at all, even after all this time.
- Donya: That's just how Snezhnaya's weather is. Ice like this on the tundra only gets bigger if you leave it alone.
- The "critical moment"...
- Donya: No matter how critical it is, it's not going to break ice!
- Paimon: We just need something warm to melt it, right?
- Paimon: (Traveler), didn't we come across that strange Prime Ice device before...? Maybe we can use that!
- Paimon: Let's give it a try!
- (Talk to Gerik, optional)
- Transcription missing
- (Melt the ice block using Basic Heat Source and open the Precious Chest)
- Gerik: So this is what those Izmaylov guys were after... They took over my lumberyard just for this.
- Gerik: So much Mora... Even just a small portion of it would be enough to get the lumberyard running again.
- Gerik: But I heard the Adventurers' Guild rules say that any unclaimed treasure found in the wild belongs to whoever discovers it...
- You're quite sharp — correct, it all belongs to me!
- Paimon: That's right! It all belongs to us!
- Paimon: ...Wait, isn't that exactly the kind of thing those Izmaylov villains would say!? If we're taking it, we should at least leave some for the others!
- If it's finders keepers, then let's split it evenly.
- Donya: Huh? I get a share too? Wow, I can live pretty comfortably until my next payday...
- Donya: N—No, wait! Donya, snap out of it! This is a "critical moment" for your test! How can I be corrupted so easily!?
- Donya: ...Ahem. I'll leave the handling of this treasure to you all.
- Gerik: Then... thank you for your kindness. I'll just take a small portion to repair the lumberyard's facilities and tools. The rest can go to the adventurer who contributed the most.
- Donya: No objections.
- Paimon: Hehe, then it's settled! But Donia, you'll still need to contact your colleagues to handle the aftermath, right?
- Paimon: I wonder what your seniors will say when they find out you cleaned up an Izmaylov stronghold all by yourself.
- Paimon: Maybe instead of praise, you'll get scolded!
- Donya: T—That shouldn't be the case... but now that I think about it, it's not entirely impossible... What should I do...? Wait...
- Donya: I've got it — (Traveler) and Paimon will become my "critical moment"! That way, my seniors will definitely understand!
- No way!
- Paimon: No way! And what even is a "critical moment" anymore!? Paimon's getting more and more confused!
