《[NaNoWriMo] Masqueraider of Dofus: Incarnam》Chapter 6: Finishing Some Quests
Advertisement
As Kryse wandered further along the path, he bumped into an Enutrof. Kryse went up to the old woman and asked if she was Babblera. The female Enutrof shook her head and told the young Masqueraider that Babblera went home. When Kryse asked her where Babblera's home was, she pointed out that Babblera's home was northwest from here. A distance north of old Postor Nhin's shop. Kryse frowned...it seemed he had traveled the wrong way! Kryse thanked the old Enutrof and he hurriedly turned around. He picked up his pace and ran north. After an hour or so of running, Kryse arrived at a large building. By the building was a cart filled to the brim with some merchandise and covered with a red blanket so that Kryse was not able to see the contents of the merchandise. Beside the cart was a male Enutrof. He wore a cracked straw hat held together by two pieces of tape and a brown knapsack. He had on the usual Enutrof outfit but black with brown linings and yellow leggings. The old man looked rather young and had a long flamboyant purplish-pink scruffy beard.
As Kryse approached him and introduced himself, the Enutrof responded, "Hello and welcome to Incarnam. I'm called Cripeled Nhin. My boss and I were a bit busy these days, but we do take breaks every so often to talk to new adventurers. We never refuse to talk to people as we could get inspirational ideas from them. Anyways, what's your idea of fun? Rather, what do you do for fun? And are you a member of one of our Nhin family's council's certified artisan guilds? What materials do you make and sell? What materials do you use?"
"I'm not a member of any of the certified artisan guilds...in fact, I'm not an artisan either. Master Yakasi sent me to become acquainted with the various members of the village."
"Oh? Very well, as I had said already...I am Cripeled Nhin, the oldest artisan in Incarnam. If you're interested in the numerous jobs that were offered in this place, I can give you some advice about it as well as a recommendation so that you can get a good start. And once you become a master of your work, you will be able to help us improve our merchandise. So, how about it? What do you say?"

"Um...okay."
"Great! That's perfect! Before any self-respecting artisan starts his or her work, he or she has to find good quality ingredients. Start by getting some water...we use it quite often in the workshops. As for the water...you can find some good quality water in the creeks as well as in any of the various wells in Incarnam."
"I see."
"Alright, make sure you visit the Incarnam Inn right here if you're looking for a place to eat, relax, and gather some information."
"Alright. Maybe later. Have a good day."
Walking towards a well near the inn, Kryse was about to collect some water when he realized that there was no bucket. It seemed he had to look for one...but where can he find one? Maybe someone else will have a spare. Kryse shrugged and muttered that the profession quest would have to wait. For, now he should go visit Babblera and turn in this recipe in his bag. As he continued with his errands, he suddenly realized that he had something to talk about with Master Struk'tohr Nhin. So, he decided to change course and head west towards the entrance of the village.
Once Kryse arrived at the entrance of the village, he greeted Struk'tohr Nhin. His training master replied with a smile, "Did you find the Fountain of Youth?"
"Yes, I had found both of them."
"Great! That's perfect! It seemed like you are finally ready for some exercise...hmm...let's see, what should we do next?"
"Wait! Before we go train, I have some errands I needed to finish."
"Okay. No worries. Come here once you are done."
Kryse turned around and left. A couple of meters away, by a tree, Kryse saw Master Yakasi. He walked up to the eagle beastman and told him that he had met with the members of the Nhin family.
Master Yakasi grinned before replying, "The Nhin family seemed to have offered you help or at least given you some work to do. It's up to you whether or not you want to accept those jobs or not. If you want, you can explore Incarnam at your own pace and enjoy the charm and peace this country has to offer. However, you need to be careful. You may run into some trouble in the future and even find yourself fighting with stronger monsters...I heard it happened often. This could cause you problems."

"What do you mean by that?"
"You could die from the battles...but don't worry, you won't be really dead since you have an immortal soul. Each time you die, you would be magically transported and incarnated back at a Celestial Temple. If you have any more questions related to this topic, you should go and speak with Brett Ernal...he's a bit of an expert in these matters."
"Okay. I'll go see him as soon as I finish my errands."
Kryse bid Master Yakasi goodbye before heading north to where Babblera's house was supposedly found. After a few minutes, a monster jumped in his way. It was a Piwi. Kryse raised his shield up and looked at the low-leveled monster cautiously. But the monster did not try to attack him. Instead, it was chirping, "Piwi piwi piwi?"
Kryse looked at the Piwi and piwied as well. After a short exchange of piwis, the monster ran away happily. A nearby beastman approached him and told him that he just accepted a quest from the little monster. Well, damn.... Kryse asked the beastman what kind of quest he had accepted, and the beastman grinned. He told Kryse that the Piwi wanted him to obtain six Wheat and six Flax Flowers and bring the items to it. Kryse nodded in understanding as he thanked the beastman and continued north. After a short while, he saw a building in the distance. An old female Enutrof was standing near the doorway watering her garden. The Enutrof had her grayed hair tied up in a bun and wore a knapsack of the same color of her hair. She wore a lily pad-like hat with orange spots on it and she carried a toad-skinned shield. She wore an orange and purple outfit with yellow linings. Unlike the male Enutrofs who went barefoot, she wore a pair of wooden sandal clogs.
"Hey, excuse me, are you Babblera by any chance?"
"Huh? Ah...yes I am. What do you need dear?"
"I'm here to give you this recipe from Postor Nhin."
"Why thank you my dear! I had all the ingredients prepared but all I was missing was this pancake recipe. This is going to make a lot of people very happy very soon. Here, have a spoonful of this homemade jam I'm going to serve with my pancakes. Let me know what you think of the taste."
Kryse took the spoon and ate the spoonful of jam. As he savored the taste, Babblera asked, "Good right?"
"Ugh...it has all the taste of a rancid Troll's unwashed toe and none of the taste of sweet jam....ugh!" Kryse grimaced as he vomited a little bit of his breakfast.
" Sooo, isn't it delicious? I've been tearing at my hair trying to get this unique taste. I've spent more months than I could count trying. Perhaps I should tell Fattumy about this and have him sell it at his tavern, what do you think?"
"Ugh...I don't think the customers would be...uh...worthy of such an...unique jam." Kryse replied as he forcefully swallowed the vomit in his mouth.
"Hmmm...you may be right dear. Maybe I'll just save my cooking masterpieces for my grandchildren and the rest of the Nhin family. Anyways, here's you payment. Thanks again for the delivery. Do come by again and try some of my other masterpieces."
Kryse took the items and left with a smile on his face. Once he was out of sight, Kryse's face turned green again and he collapsed onto the ground and vomited to his heart's content...or rather to his stomach's content.
