Did you hear that Lepharist Revolutionaries have occupied the Mystic Spring?

The whole of Eltnen is shriveling up, and now they control the only source of water!? Dastardly brutes!

There's also a rumour that they were planning to attack the Observatory in Verteron, and I'm worried that they might get up to similar tricks here in Eltnen.

"I heard something about that too."

I may be just a Soul Healer, but I'll put on my armour and fight to the death, if it comes to that.

I've been practicing sword-fighting with Kibelle and Dionera, you see.

I even ordered some armour from an Armoursmithing Expert in Sanctum. No use being prepared to fight if you can't defend yourself, right?

"May I see it?"

Well no. It's not here yet. I wrote and asked him whether he was done yet, but he wrote back saying that he had trouble getting the materials. He even asked if I knew any good sources, just to speed things up.

Thing is, I do know of a good source of platinum, but I can't go and get it myself because I'm on duty. What would happen if someone needed me here, and I was off running around the landscape?

[%username], would you be interested in earning a reward?

Accept. Decline.

Thank you very much. We're missing a[%dic:STR_DIC_E_noblemetal_n_c_30a].

If you give me 10 pieces quickly, I can send everything to Sanctum and ask to be appointed to finish the armor.

Please hurry! We do not know when the Lepharist Revolutionaries will enter the Aetheric Field Observatory.

"It's a deal."

I need to take precautions; I don't live in the Fortress or the Village, surrounded by Guardians.

Well, the one who feels thirsty must dig the well. I suppose I should find the time to collect it myself.

"Perhaps I will return later."

Did you bring all 10 Platinum Coins I asked you to?

I am worried that the Armour Master might not keep his promise, because he didn't adhere to the deadline.

He promised me he would work my armour first, as soon as I sent him the materials. But if someone of a superior rank should place an order, I guess mine will be neglected.

"Don't worry. Here's the platinum."

Do you even know how to mine ore?

Hmm, I'm not convinced. If you did, you'd surely have the [%dic:STR_DIC_E_noblemetal_n_c_30a] by now.

If you don't hurry, the Armoursmith might change his mind.

"I'll be back soon."

That's exactly 10 platinum pieces.

Thank you... Since you got the materials for me, I can make the armour.

Deliver this quickly to Vulcanus.

Here, a token of my gratitude. Please accept it.

Mine ore for Armoursmithing, and bring it to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Tanis].

[%collectitem]

Tanis ordered some metal armour from an Expert in Sanctum, but the delivery has been delayed because the master ran out of materials. Collect some [%dic:STR_DIC_E_noblemetal_n_c_30a], so that Tanis can have his armour made.

Soul Healer Tanis was worried that Lepharist Revolutionaries might attack the Observatory, so he ordered some armour from an Armoursmith in Sanctum. Sadly, the Armoursmith didn't have sufficient materials to finish the order.

You dug up Platinum Ore for Tanis to send to Sanctum so that he could have his armour at last.
