Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Luckless Merchant: Hello there, friend. Don't suppose you'd have time to help a man in his hour of need?
Luckless Merchant: I'd come here to buy minerals that I was meant to supply the Resistance with. The only problem is, I was robbed of all my gil by Qiqirn bandits on the way here!
Luckless Merchant: Who's going to use a merchant that can't deliver the goods he claims to sell? Please, head to Momoroon's Milk and take back my money.
Luckless Merchant: Once you have collected my gil, give it to a man by the name of Ansger in this village. He's the one I had procure the minerals for me.
Luckless Merchant: In the meantime, I'll head back to Rhalgr's Reach and ask them to wait a little longer for their order. Bring the minerals to me as soon as you have them.

Delivering the stolen sack to Ansger

Ansger: Hello there, lass/lad! Do you have business with me?
<Hand Over Stolen Sack>
Ansger: The merchant who ordered the minerals asked you to bring me his payment? I take it you must've reclaimed his gil from those pesky Qiqirn?
Ansger: Ha ha, you have my thanks! I was not best pleased when I heard he would be late in paying me.
Ansger: Here are his minerals. Get them to him as quickly as possible. No doubt he's worrying himself sick.

(Optional)
Ansger: Get his minerals to him as quickly as possible. No doubt that merchant's worrying himself sick.

Delivering the crate of minerals to the luckless merchant

Luckless Merchant: The minerals. Do you have them?
<Hand Over Crate of Minerals>
Luckless Merchant: Oh, I am positively indebted to you. At last, I can fulfill the Resistance's order.
Luckless Merchant: Frankly speaking, the minerals found around Ala Gannha aren't of the best quality.
Luckless Merchant: But I can't help but want to support a struggling village. They have been through so much.
Luckless Merchant: I will need to be careful I do not go the same way as their quarry. I had made a point of not hiring protection when traveling to save on money, but I'm not much use to anyone if I'm robbed of all my gil. Here, take this as a token of my thanks.
