Stolen Item

By: Kali

Difficulty: **

Some bandits stole some rare silk from my store, I need someone to retrieve it for me.

Talk to me in my shop in Defiant Root for more information.

Defiant Root, Commercial

[Spy Kali]

Kabbu: Ms. Kali's made quite a name for herself in town! Her wares are very popular.

Vi: Eh, they're way too expensive.

Leif: And we're already beautiful.

Kabbu: Al...right?

[first talk]

Kali: I can't believe it! My baby! My handmade, extremely high-quality silk!

Leif: That's gotta be Kali. Excuse us, miss?

Kali: Whatever could you want? Can't you see I'm devastated?

Vi: We're here to help!

Kabbu: You need not suffer any longer. Could you tell us what happened?

Kali: Aah...Explorers! Please excuse me, I've been very on edge.

Kali: I have ample reason to believe bandits have stolen my silk!

Kali: Not any silk, yes? This one costs both time and many berries to manufacture!

Leif: The bandits've really done a number on Defiant Root.

Kabbu: Leave it to us! You will be able to craft again soon!

Kali: So dashing! Please, return it before they ruin it!

Vi: You got it. Start getting that reward ready!

[talk again]

Kali: Oh, what great timing! Could it be you've retrieved my precious silk!?

[wrong item]

Kali: No, no, no! This isn't it. How distressing!

[exit out]

Kabbu: Sorry, not yet.

Kali: You haven't? I do apologize for jumping to conclusions. Would you please go? I need to grieve.

[give stolen silk]

Kali: Ah! My baby! My handmade, extremely high-quality silk!

Leif: It did feel incredible carrying it back here.

Kabbu: Miss Kali, did you truly create such an exquisite texture?

Kali: That's right. Silks and the wondrous items of fashion and leisure it can be woven into are my absolute PASSION.

Vi: They've gotta be worth a fortune! No wonder it got stolen.

Kali: A fortune? Hah! You cannot put a price on a masterpiece.

Kali: ...Though I'll have you know my prices are very economical, darlings.

Vi: This place is so cool though. I've never seen this big wheel before!

Kali: W-Wait! Do be VERY careful near that vase, my dear. It's a gift from a client very close to me.

Kabbu: Incredible. Your work touches the hearts of the wearer that strongly!

Leif: Shame we're not too much into fashion…

Kali: I'm itching to get back to work, so…

Kali: Please, let me reward you for all you've done for this shop.

Kali: And you all seem absolutely exhausted, you poor things. Breathe this in, my darlings, it should soothe and fix your wounds with ease.

Kabbu: Oh! Thank you so much!

Vi: Huh?! This smoke... I-I...

Vi: COUGH! COUGH! COUGH! HACK!

Leif: Vi, watch out!

Vi: ATCHOOOO!!

Vi: ...S-Sorry. This smoke makes me really dizz-

Kali: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Kali: That vase was a one of a kind design from…

(minibubble) Leif: Ah crud.

Kali: It's shattered, ruined, obliterated! Oh this is the worst day of my LIFE!

Vi: I...I'm sorry!

Kali: Sorry is NOT enough! It's time to show you the consequences of touching things that do not belong to YOU!

Vi: COUGH! COUGH! STOP IT! I SAID I'M SORRY!

Leif: What's this smoke...?

Kabbu: ...N-Nghh...Vi, Leif!

Kali: Come hither, my dear Beetle…

Kabbu: Hnnnng...what...is...going...on...? My...body...

Kali: A surprise you could resist my charms, oh blue one.

Kali: I digress, come, my Knight, let's give these two a proper thrashing!

Leif: Kabbu, what do you think you're doing?

Vi: You're gonna BETRAY US!? OVER THIS!?

Kabbu: I...can't control...my body...

Kali: A puppet on silken strings, now... Let's begin, shall we?

[first time defeating Kabbu before defeating Kali]

Kali: Oh no no, my valiant knight, do rise once more! Healing dust!

[defeat Kali]

Kali: A-Ah! I...I yield!

[post-battle]

Leif: This was unnecessary. We could've replaced the vase.

Kabbu: Extremely unnecessary! Please don't control my body!

Vi: I...I'm sorry. That smoke made me dizzy, I couldn't help it…

Kali: …

Kali: ...*Sigh* Alright. I apologize as well, my dears.

Kali: It was quite uncouth of me to lose my temper.

Kali: Let's put this behind us, hm? Water in the oasis as it were. I'll see if Butomu can fix the vase…

Leif: Fine with us. We're too lazy to press charges.

Vi: I'll stay super far from the fixed one, promise!

Kabbu: Despite the downward turn...we hope you make great things with that silk, Kali!

Kali: Oh. I assure you, I can and will, my dear knight.

Kali: ...Please remove yourselves from my shop, if you would be so kind.

[talk again after fight]

Kali: ...Out.

[come back]

Kali: Oh, that Butomu's a miracle worker! Please do keep your distance from this one.

(minibubble) Vi: Sorry...
