Dialogue

Listen to Rand's troubles

Commission Description

There's a man by the roadside in Blazewood who seems quite troubled... Maybe find out what's on his mind?

(Idle): Rand: *sigh* What should I do...?

(Talk to Rand)

Rand: Any ideas... Hire someone? Do it solo? Nah, none seems to work...

Rand: Maybe I'll play it safe and settle for fewer Dennies...? Nah, scratch that... Ugh... making money is such a headache...

What's wrong?

(Continue commission)

Let's not stress about that for now

(Exit dialogue)

Rand: ...H-hey! When did you start listening in on my mumblings?! None of your business what's bugging me!

You mentioned Dennies, right?

Rand: What's the big deal?! Is it weird that I'm stressing about Dennies?

You mentioned hiring someone, right?

Rand: Yeah, but definitely not you! You don't seem like much of a good fighter at all!

Rand: Yeah... I'm worried, and my concern revolves around making money, so what's the issue? You're curious, aren't you? Okay, fine, hand over 2,000 Dennies, and I'll spill the good stuff!

(Staring at him silently)

Rand: W-what? Suddenly stingy, huh? You're the one who pried about my problem! Pay up, and I'll spill the beans! Or I'll just figure it out on my own!

(Give a smile and shake your head.)

Rand: W-what's the problem? Wait, you don't believe I can't handle this on my own, do you?

(Walk away)

Rand: W-wait! Just wait! Fine, I'll spill it! For free! Yeah, I'm worried. I don't care if you steal my money-making idea. Just hear me out!

Rand: I'm not a local Outer Ringer. I snuck in from the city... You can tell that, right?

Really? But your fashion sense is as on-point as any Outer Ringer.

Rand: Seriously? You've got a good eye... I picked this outfit in Lumina Square to mesh with the Outer Ring style!

Yeah, your fashion sense is too awful to pass for an Outer Ringer.

Rand: Hey, this style will be all the rage next year! Just you wait!

Rand: Oh, getting back on track. I've been chilling in the Outer Ring for a bit now because I wanna become a bounty hunter!

A bounty hunter?

Rand: Yep! Security's loose here, so wanted criminals often hide out. Public Security puts generous bounties on them, paying for tips on fugitives and more for capturing them alive. Those who chase these rewards are bounty hunters.

How is the pay?

Rand: Well, pretty good as long as you know your way around! Folks here have leads on those fugitives, so if you can gather info and sell it to the office, you can make a decent living.

Rand: But here's my problem — I've been scraping together tiny Dennies. I wanna rake in some serious money! I wanna capture those fugitives and cash in on the bounty! It's way more than just selling info!

Rand: Truth is, I've got details on a gang holed up in the Hollow. If I can take them down, Public Security will pay serious Dennies... But here's the thing: I'm no fighter, so figuring out how to deal with them is the real head-scratcher.

You can go to Inter-Knot to post a commission

Rand: Nah, posted it already, but no takers! It's not just leading the way into the Hollow — it's taking down a whole gang! Who'd sign up for such a risky job?

Why don't you split the reward 50/50?

Rand: ...Are you serious? That's a major hit to my pocket.

Good pay draws good hunters.

Tell them: No risks, no Dennies.

Rand: But a 50/50 split ain't fair... Why should I hand over half the pay?

Because the Proxy needs to fight.

And you just need to sit tight for the "ka-ching".

Rand: How about a 40/60 split...? I mean... seems fair, right...?

(Staring at him silently)

You're all about that serious money, right?

Rand: ...Fine! Let's do 50/50! Half's better than nothing! I'll post on the Inter-Knot, hoping for a gutsy soul to take the job, dive into the Hollow, and team up with my partner to nail that bounty!

Who's your partner?

Doesn't your partner get a cut?

Rand: My partner's a Bangboo I met in the Outer Ring, loaded with useful info. Oddly enough, it's not interested in Dennies.

Rand: I hope we'll make a killing this time... Oh, and you! Sorry for being rude earlier!

You've got to thank me.

Rand: Yeah! All the Dennies go to me and the Proxy on the Inter-Knot. You won't see a single Denny, yet you're still offering advice... You're the best!

Rand: Take this as a thank-you! Consider it a consulting fee!

Rand: Thank you!

(Obtain Denny ×2,000)

(Idle): Rand: Thank you!

Step Description

Rand has finally decided to allocate more money. Hurry and take the Inter-Knot commission he posted before someone else gets it.

	OuterRingLad 59 3690
[Commission] [Lucrative] Seeking partners skilled in combat! I've got intel on a certain criminal group (for security reasons, I'm not disclosing their name here) and need a partner skilled in combat to apprehend them alive. I'll share the intel, and you'll do the heavy lifting. The bounty is split 50/50 after I collect from PubSec. The bounty for capturing them is substantial, so only serious inquiries, please. Wealth is sought through risk! If interested, contact me, and I will provide the location of the Bangboo working with me. You can complete the task with its assistance!
	300Years_ProProxy Wow, I thought this was supposed to be a lucrative job, but it turns out you want someone to go into the Hollow and catch a bunch of criminals? Quite the scheme you've got going on, eh?	1F
	ATopBusiness This guy posted something similar before. If I had the skills to take down an entire gang, why would I share the spoils? I'd just catch them all and rake in all the bounties! He was fishing for takers but nobody took the bait, and now he's playing the same old trick again.	2F
	[OP] OuterRingLad To the person above, first of all, not everyone can gather intelligence on criminal organizations. How many good informants are there in New Eridu? Plus, I've offered a 50/50 split — anyone taking on the job will earn a significant amount. Please read carefully!	3F
	PorcelumePrince A 50/50 split... It does seem like there's a lot to gain! While the risks are considerable, it might still be worth considering...?	4F
	Not-A-Pro Worth considering? Seriously? We're talking about taking down a WHOLE GANG here! You either bring an army or you're toast! Doubt anyone would bite even if it was an 80/20 split...	5F
	Bangbangbooboo More than that, this commission means the poster won't go into the Hollow, instead having a Bangboo go in as a guide? What if the Bangboo is harmed by the criminals? Have you thought about their well-being?	6F
	WatchingFromAbove Hah, all these views and replies, yet no one's taking on the bait. Looks like the poster will have to cash in on those criminals solo!	7F
	(ProxyProxyThe player's chosen name for the Proxy) I'm up for the commission.	8F
	[OP] OuterRingLad Ohhhhhhhh!!! My champion has come!!! Please, meet my partner Bangboo in the Hollow, and he'll brief you on the plan!	9F
	aNitro-FuelaDay Hey, someone's taking the bait... Let's see how this plays out.	10F

Complete the commission posted by Rand

Step Description

The Bangboo arranged by Rand is already waiting in the Hollow to assist us. Let's meet up with it when we have time and start the battle.

(Talk to Abby): Abby: Ehn-na-ne! (Hey, you're the helper Rand brought in, right? I'm Abby, a free Bangboo born in the Outer Ring!); Hi, Abby; Abby: Na-ehn nu-na! (Hello! Please follow me into the criminal gang's hideout. I'll keep leading you deeper into their lair!); Abby: Ehn-nah ehn-ne-nah! (I don't have much combat ability, but I won't be a nuisance during your fight! Please protect yourself! Their leader is not easy to deal with!); Abby: Ehn-nah-na? (Do you have any other questions for me?); You don't charge for your services?; Abby: Ehn-na! Ehn-nu-nah! (I just don't accept Denny as payment! It's not volunteer work, so don't worry!); Abby: Ehn-nah-nu. (I've arranged with Rand that I can get what I want from him once the job is done.); Abby: Ehn-na ehn-nu! (Your concerns seem to have been dispelled! Let's get started!)

(After the conversation): Abby: Ehn-ne! (The battle begins. Come with me!)

(If the player strays too far from Abby): Fairy: Master, you should to [sic] return to Abby and escort it in pathfinding.

(Idle): Abby: Ehn-na-ehn-na! (Let's take care of them!)

(Enter combat): Abby: Ehn-ne! (The first enemy gathering point!)

(Defeat the first group of enemies): Abby: Ehn-ne-ne! (Well done! Let's head to the next gathering spot!)

(Idle): Abby: Ehn-nah! (Defeat them!)

(Enter combat): Abby: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (The enemy's second gathering point! Let's go!)

(Defeat the second group): Abby: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne! (They've taken heavy losses! Let's continue!)

(Idle): Abby: Na-ehn ehn-ne! (This is the last enemy!)

(Enter combat): Abby: Ehn-ne-ne! (Their lair! Be careful!)

(When the Wanted Intimidator reaches 20% health): Abby: Ehn-ne! (Almost there! Wipe them out, bounty hunter!)

Go back and talk to Rand

Step Description

The commission is complete! Let's see how Rand is doing.

(Idle): Rand: That's a ton of Dennies...!; Abby: Nu-nah! (Me too!)

(Talk to Rand): Rand: Hey, it's you! Good news, I sent a post on the Inter-Knot as you suggested, and it worked! Someone teamed up with Abby and got the job done! Oh, by the way, this is Abby!; Rand: So, we brought the criminals to Public Security and cashed in big!; Glad to know you nailed the bounty.; Abby: Na-ehn, ehu-nu-nu-nah! (Hi there! We've got this sorted all thanks to your suggestion!); Abby: Ehn-ne-nhu? (You haven't forgotten our deal, right, Rand?); Rand: Of course not! All the motorcycle parts are yours now! But seriously, is that all you're after? I could at least share you some Dennies...; Abby: En-nah-ehn-nu! (Everyone and every Bangboo have their own inspiration. These parts are all I need!); Rand: I don't know what you're up to with those parts, but hey... Maybe we could team up long-term? Since you lead the charge like this time, I'll recruit good fighters, and we'll rake in Dennies and parts!; Abby: Ehn-ne-ena! (Sounds great... I'm in need of more parts! Let's do this!); Rand: From today on, the bounty hunter group "Abby Rand" is officially established! Let's keep earning bounties at this pace!; Looks like everything is solved perfectly.; Rand: Thanks a bunch! Your advice not only solved the case but also got me thinking about new ways to stack up those Dennies! I can see the cash rolling in already!; Why do you need so much money?; Rand: Well... it's no biggie... I mean, who'd say no to Dennies? Though I'm a bit worried about drawing some unwanted attention from gangs if I keep helping the public security office too much... Oh well, high risk, high reward, they say!; Rand: For now, let's split the bounty down the middle with the Proxy... Oh, and here's a little something for you! Lucky to have met such a kind soul like you! Think of it as a small gift to close out that consulting fee!; Abby: En-nah-ne! (And you've got to thank (‍himhimText for Wise / herherText for Belle‍), too!); Rand: Thank you!
(Obtain Denny ×30,000)

(Idle): Rand: I'm going to Lumina Square, Abby.; Abby: Ehn-ne! (I'm coming with you, buddy!)

(Talk to Rand again, optional): Rand: Next time I have problems, can I hit you up again? Consulting fee stays the same!; Rand: And of course! If you ever run into trouble, just give me and Abby a shout!

Epilogue

(Wait until the next day)

(Idle): Rand: How much more do we need to hit 100 million Dennies...?

(Listen to Rand and Abby near the Lumina Square real estate ad): Rand: 100 million Dennies for just one square meter... Even though we've hit the Dennies jackpot this time, it's still peanuts compared to that price tag. How long would it take to reach 100 million...?; Abby: Ehn-ne-ne? (Is this what you want, Rand?); Rand: Yeah, I've been eyeing that house forever, but with my stash and the slow trickle of Dennies coming in, I might kick the bucket of old age before I can even think of affording it...; Abby: Ehn-na, nha-nuh-nhu-ne! (I know S.E.C.! They have cheaper properties than this one! You don't need that many Dennies, you know?); Rand: Nah, it's gotta be that one! It's the only safe haven touted as "with a Hollow risk infinitely close to zero", and that's why it's priced sky-high. Why bother with any other place that might face the Hollow disaster?; Abby: En-nah-ehn, nhu-nhe? (But seriously, is any place completely safe from the Hollow?); Rand: ...Of course there is! If it's selling for a fortune, there's gotta be a catch!; Abby: ...En-nhu-nah, nhu-ne? (...What if you buy a part of the house?); Rand: A part? Like, just a bathroom? Would S.E.C. even entertain that idea...? And even if they would, I can't even afford a bathroom!; Rand: ...These days, I can only dream of making a million Dennies for a 0.01-square-meter house.; Abby: Ehn-ne-nah! (Even 0.01 square meter is enough! I've picked up renovation tricks from those Outer Ring TV shows! With my magic touch, even a tiny space can be a cozy retreat!); Rand: Wait, seriously? You can really pull that off?; Abby: En-nah-nhu! (You bet! I'll only charge you a ton of motorcycle parts!); Rand: ...Deal! I'm counting on you for my safe haven makeover! I'll hustle up that million Dennies in no time!

(Idle): Rand: Gotta put in more effort! For our safe haven!; Abby: En-nah! (I'm excited for the renovation work!)
