Quest Description

On the outskirts of Paha Isle, a fierce wargame simulation seems to be unfolding...

Wislawa: Well, well, well, if it isn't the kind-hearted merchant... Out here chasing business, are we?

Edler: *sigh* You wouldn't understand. Us poor folk with nothing to our names have to go where the money is — like hungry dogs chasing after scraps of bone...

Wislawa: Hmph, loquacious as ever...

Wislawa: You might want to pay more attention to what's going on in front of you — I reckon you're about to lose.

(The Traveler and Paimon arrive on the scene)

Edler: I wouldn't be so sure... Ah, (‍‍), just in time. Perhaps you can help me figure out how to reverse my fortunes?

Paimon: Hehe, you're asking the right person!

This looks different from when I last played...

Edler: Ha, indeed! If I'm going to set up shop in a new locale, I need to spice things up a little — you're looking at my new and improved wargame!

Edler: Basically, there's a wider variety of gameplay. There's "Frontline Captains," and different kinds of flags... It feels a lot more like commanding a real army!

Edler: However, just as I was trying to sell it to prospective buyers, this fine lady turned up and threw a spanner in the works.

Edler: To prove my product is all above board — and to prevent concerned onlookers from reporting me to the authorities — I had no choice but to play a round with her. Otherwise, she might accuse me of selling "dangerous military equipment"!

Wislawa: Thank you for sharing your — remarkably long — side of the story... Hello, you must be the famous (‍‍)? And that would make your companion the world-renowned, expert guide, Paimon. I've been hearing a lot about you two!

Wislawa: I never expected our kind-hearted Fontainian merchant here to keep such exalted company... I feel honored to see you in the flesh.

Wislawa: I'm Wislawa, a... kind-hearted bodyguard.

Wislawa: It's just a pity we haven't played out our game, otherwise I'd be able to take good care of you...

(Does she mean take care, or "take care"?)

(She looks like she'd make a dangerous enemy...)

Paimon: Hehe, don't worry about it!

Paimon: You seem nice! Usually, when we bump into people with your sense of style... uhm, how should Paimon put it... they don't do much talking before their fists start flying!

Wislawa: Haha, don't worry, I'm on holiday! Besides, even when I'm working, I try my best not to get too physical. Either way you look at it, you've nothing to fear from me.

But you two look like you might come to blows...

Paimon: Paimon was thinking that too! Even though you're playing wargames, when we turned up, the atmosphere was a little... uhm, tense, but maybe it was just a mix-up...

Wislawa: You think we should spar? That's a great idea!

Edler: I suppose we could slug it out...

Paimon: Hey, hey, hey! Paimon was just thinking out loud — it wasn't a suggestion!

Edler: Haha, don't worry, we're just pulling your leg.

Edler: Though it really does seem like this new product has the ability to help resolve disputes. When two people are at loggerheads and feel the itch to start fighting, they can whip out my wargame and—

Edler: Ugh, yap-yap-yap. How about you just try it for yourselves?

Great idea.

(Edler directs the Traveler's attention to Wislawa)

Edler: Or... you could help me beat our enthusiastic bodyguard here first.

Wislawa: No outside assistance!

Post-Quest Dialogue

(Talk to Edler)

Edler: Well, here's a turn up for the books! Fancy seeing you in Nod-Krai... It looks like your command skills have improved since the last time we met.

You're making me blush. It's time to do some damage!

Edler: I'll leave you to it then! Be sure to thoroughly enjoy the new wargame!

(Opens Wargame gameplay interface)

All thanks to your wargame!

Edler: You're too modest. Ever since I got my hands on the standard-issue wargame from the Maison Gardiennage, I've been racking my brains trying to find ways to make it more three-dimensional...

Edler: Captain Grosrochard once told me, "Some fighters are just like wolves — not only are their teeth sharp, but they know exactly where to bite."

Edler: Proto-Boss, I think you're exactly the sort of wolf the captain was talking about! Even my improved wargame won't fully test your talents — you're just too good at knowing what to do.

Edler: ...But watching someone as skilled as Wislawa having to pause and puzzle things out makes me think my changes have been a wonderful success!

So, is she your latest fugitive suspect?

Is our "kind-hearted merchant" trying to catch this "kind-hearted bodyguard"?

Edler: Ha! That's just a coincidence. She has nothing to do with anyone I'm after.

Edler: I met her in Fontaine, and we didn't exactly hit it off... I thought she was a kidnapper and subdued her on the spot. It turned out I made a mistake.

Edler: She saved the little girl who was kidnapped — but how was I to know? A tall foreigner turning up in the middle of nowhere disguised as a local and carrying a musket...

Edler: Ahem, anyway, the point is we worked it all out. Still, she appears to be very dangerous — and suspicious.

Edler: So, in the interests of safety, I told her I was a kind-hearted merchant. I'm pretty sure she's not really a bodyguard...

Edler: And running into her here, it seems her identity is even more mysterious than I first thought.

Wow, impressive moves.

Edler: Luck's a fickle thing. Recently, our kind-hearted bodyguard has put the brakes on this "suspicious merchant"...

Edler: Fortunately, she seems more interested in fighting me than in figuring out my background. That's one of the few things going my way right now!

There are still a few features I don't understand...

Edler: But don't worry, every battle has its twists and turns, and so does every wargame! No one can predict each little change of fortune.

(Talk to Wislawa)

Wislawa: Oh, hello, how's the game?

I haven't started playing yet.

Wislawa: Better get a move on then — the wargame's just over there.

(Opens Wargame gameplay interface)

Not bad at all! It's giving me a few ideas.

Wislawa: Hmph, Edler's not the brightest, but she's done a good job with this fun little distraction...

You don't mince your words...

This is the first time we've met...

Wislawa: Haha, anything I tell you, I'm more than happy to say to her face. Besides, I'm only speaking the truth!

Wislawa: She seems to think I don't know who she is, but when she stopped me in Fontaine, I knew immediately what her deal was — there was a Maison Gardiennage mark on her weapon...

Wislawa: But it seems to me that it's more fun to watch her keep merrily playing the part of a "kind-hearted merchant."

Wislawa: A righteous Fontainian plainclothes detective stuck in a place like this, having to convince a "kind-hearted bodyguard" not to call the authorities, completely unable to reveal her identity...

Wislawa: It's like the plot of some farcical film!

That sounds like something I might watch...

Wislawa: Truth be told, I just wanted to spar with her — she keeps overthinking the whole thing.

Wislawa: Alright, that's enough talking, you go ahead and have fun! This wargame has a lot to unpack.

Actually, I'm more interested in your background.

Wislawa: Me? I'm not like you — a big fish who the Harbingers treat like an honored guest — I'm just small fry, one of their minions. I'm barely worth mentioning.

Wislawa: But I can tell you something. Even though a minnow like me doesn't usually hear much, I had a boss who used to love yabbering back in the day.

Wislawa: That's how I heard of the legendary (‍‍), an exceptional fighter with a brain to match!

Wislawa: I remember thinking at the time, if we ever met in battle, how little time would it take before you turned me into a ghost?

Wislawa: *sigh* It doesn't help to think too far ahead. You should get back to your game.

I'm more curious about your holiday...

Wislawa: *sigh* When I was still just a little sprat, I only had about... maybe 10 days a year where I could float up to the shallows and swim freely in the sunlight.

Wislawa: Well, now that I've a little more weight to throw around, I get a few more days off.

Wislawa: One day, if I can grow into a shark, I'll command the best treatment there is — 25 days of annual leave!

Wislawa: When that day comes, I'll make sure to find the warmest waters to really kick back and unwind...
