The Crystal Spring  

Mission Orders

Walkthrough

You are asked to retrieve the crystal bass. You can get this by fishing in the Spring on the east end of Jugner Forest (J-9). Or you can usually purchase it at the bazaar. Bring him the fish and he sends you to San'Doria Castle to deliver it. This leads to a cut scene. Talk to one more NPC (Chalvatot (F-7)) and you are finished.

--Area Southern San d'Oria-- Endracion: Welcome back! I have an important mission for you this time. Recently, land is eroding due to crystal formation...and it's getting worse. Endracion: There's a small spring on the eastern edge of Jugner Forest, called Crystwater Spring. We must know what effect crystal formation has on the wildlife there. Endracion: I want you to get me a fish from the spring. And not just any fish! You need to get a crystal bass. Endracion: That is all. You'll take the mission then? Endracion: Ah, that reminds me--have you any fishing gear? You'll need some for this mission. Endracion: There are people about that know a thing or two about fishing, should you need help finding and choosing your gear.

After getting your crystal bass.

Endracion: Hello there. Now's not the time for missions; Chateau d'Oraguille has been visited by bandits! Endracion: You must make haste to Chateau d'Oraguille! Find Lady Curilla, general of the Temple Knights!

--Area: Chateau d'Oraguille-- Halver: So, you're saying nothing was actually taken? Curilla: That is right, Lord Halver. I can see ransacking our treasure vaults, but the chambers of Leaute I d'Oraguille? What could they have been after? Halver: The chambers are as they were when the queen passed away. Might she have left something of importance? Curilla: Her jewelry all went untouched. It is possible that the thieves mistook the queen's chambers for another room. Halver: Hmm. However, it has come to my attention that a copy of the castle floor plans has been circulating outside the castle. Halver: If the thieves possess these floor plans, then perhaps they have motives other than just stealing treasure. Curilla: That may be true. But even with a copy of the castle floor plans, it would take a skilled thief indeed to hide from all the guards in the chateau. Curilla: And according to the gardener, our visitors were a party of two Elvaan...

Shamonde: It has come to my attention that thieves have ransacked the queen's chambers. Inform me immediately of what was stolen! Halver: Please be at ease, Your Holiness. The Temple Knights have determined that the thieves stole nothing from the chateau. Shamonde: Preposterous! If so, why did the thieves ender in the first place? Maybe the queen had something hidden... Curilla: Pardon me, Your Holiness, but what do you mean by "something"? Shamonde: If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you! But thieves would not enter without a purpose! Halver: Of course, Your Holiness! I will order the Temple Knights to continue their investigation, and have them inform you if they find anything. Shamonde: I shall be waiting for your report. Hmph! Not even the Goddess Altana will forgive such a crime! Curilla: Hmm? It seems as if we have a visitor.

Curilla: You were sent to stop the thieves? Well, as you can see, they have already escaped. Curilla: Considering we know nothing of the thieves, it would be futile to send out a search party. Curilla: However, an adventurer such as yourself would have connections in many places than we. Curilla: Inquire with the gardener. He is the only one who saw the thieves. He many tell you something of importance.

Chalvatot: Ah, I know you. You're the adventurer ____. You want to know about the thieves that broke into the queen's chambers? Chalvatot: Well, I didn't see anything special. All I saw was two suspicious lookin' Elvaan. When I yelled at 'em, they ran off. That be all. Chalvatot: But I swear I seen me one before... The one with blue armor... Claidie: Chalvatot, what has happened in my mother's chambers? Claidie: When I went to give some water to the flowers, I pssed by some Temple Guards. Chalvatot: I am so sorry, Your Highness! Last night, some thieves broke into the late queen's chambers! Chalvatot: And to make matters worse, the scoundrels are still on the loose! Oh, what has become of the once mighty Chateau d'Oraguille? Claidie: I--I do not know what to say... Claidie: I knew something was wrong when I found mother's diary in a strange place... Chalvatot: Your Highness? You say you saw something out of the ordinary? Claidie: Chalvatot, something is amiss... Could you please come to my chambers later? Claidie: Farewell, Lady ____. May you find the thieves that disgraced our great kingdom.
