Give him the herb pouch.

Dialogue ends here

[ Ack! Now, where did I put that pouch with the herbs?

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] May I ask... Why are you giving me this pouch of herbs?

[ Well, there was this lady living on Mount Mjolnir who wanted me to give this to you. Um, she has a son named Kaanu?

[Father Bamph] Oh, you must have met Bonnie Imbullea. It's been a long time since I've seen her. How is she doing, may I ask?

[ Oh... I guess she's fine. But she seems really... I dunno, tormented...

[Father Biscuss] Good! If she were happy and relaxed after what she did, not even God would forgive her! She deserves to live the rest of her life in agony!

[Father Bamph] Father Biscuss, how can you say something like that? She did her best to stop what had happened! We should pity her for the suffering she must be feeling. Where is your compassion?

[Father Biscuss] Bah! Don't speak to me about compassion! Weren't you the one who recommended her to perform the exorcism in the first place? You didn't forget that, did you?

[Father Bampf] ...... ......... ............

[Father Biscuss] Hah!

About Bonnie Imbullea

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Well... I don't... I don't know if I should be telling you about that incident...

[Father Biscuss] You know what? If Bonnie sent this adventurer here for a favor, it probably means she trusts this person. Besides, we need somebody to carry out this task for us. Why not him? this task for us. Why not her?

[Father Bamph] Your words have the ring of truth, Father Biscuss. Well then, adventurer, give me the opportunity to tell you something very important. But, you must not tell anyone else...

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] What I am about to tell you must be kept secret. Now, do you know about Jormungand, the great serpent born from the god Loki and the giantess, Angrboda?

[Father Bamph] Jormungand was an evil beast that, after the thousand year war between the gods and demons, began to attack humans. It brought great chaos and much suffering around the world...

[Father Bamph] Finally, the first Tristram of the Geoborg family defeated Jormungand together with 6 other warriors, but only after it killed his beloved father.

[Father Bamph] Tristram would become the first king of the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom, but his family would suffer from the curse placed by Jormungand before its defeat.

[Father Bamph] To this day... ^FF0000Every first prince of the Geoborg family dies at a young age^000000. That is Jormungand's curse and the royal family's secret.

[ What...?! Is this really true?! Isn't there any way to counter this horrible curse?!

[Father Bamph] Please lower your voice. Yes, it's a shame that the royal family must suffer like this. But all the exorcisms that have been attempted over the years have failed...

[Father Bamph] Although the situation appeared hopeless, King Tristram III tried once again to exorcise the curse. Following his orders, the greatest priests and exorcists were all summoned.

[Father Bamph] A series of tests was performed to select the best priests and exorcists to remove this curse. In the end, ^3131FFBonnie Imbullea^000000 was chosen to lead the exorcism ceremony.

[ Wait, but you mentioned samething about an accident. Does that mean that she failed in performing the exorcism?

[Father Bamph] Yes, unfortunately. After the priests and exorcists gathered in the secret ceremonial grounds, three princes were killed instead of just the first.

[Father Biscuss] Although we all swore to keep that incident a secret, Bonnie Imbullea took full responsibility for the deaths. That is why she is in self imposed exile from the kingdom.

[ What...? That's... That's crazy!

[Father Biscuss] I know that this is a very long story, and that it's a little complicated. Please listen to what we have to ask from here on...

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Now, you should know that all of the princes that were killed that day bore strange looking marks on their bodies. It almost looked as if they were growing snake scales.

[ Wait, they grew snake scales? That sounds just like one of the versions of this song I'm investigating. I think it was the song about the Rune-Midgarts Kingdom's origin.

[Father Bamph] Wait, that song? Hm, I don't see how it's related. Let's see now, how did it go? Rainbows... Eagles... Ah! Now I remember!

[Father Bamph] The great serpent swallowed the sea. The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent. Then the eagle built its nest. A nest upon the swallowed sea.

[ Hmm... Well, I heard a different version of the same song. It goes like...

[ The great serpent swallowed the sea. The eagle of the rainbow swallowed the serpent. Then snake scales grew on the eagle, and it slowly died.

[Father Bamph] Oh, my. I learned the song when I was a young boy from my father. However, your version seems to reveal the secret curse of the Geoborgs. Please tell me, where did you hear that song?

[ Well, I first heard this version from a historian, and then I found out that Bonnie Imbullea knows it as well. Um, is there a problem?

[Father Bamph] If those song lyrics are spread, the secret of the royal family curse could be revealed to the public. Would you please help us by speaking to Bonnie Imbullea once again?

[Father Bamph] If you can, please try to see if you can learn of any connection between the curse and the song, or if she can remember anything that happened after the exorcism failed...

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Please visit Bonnie Imbullea in Mount Mjolnir to see if you can learn more about that song, or about what happened after the attempted exorcism of the Jormungand curse.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Ah, have you spoken to Bonnie Imbullea? Please tell me if you have learned anything new.

^3355FFYou related everything that Bonnie Imbullea spoke about, including the discovery of a fragment of Red Gemstone in the secret ceremonial grounds.

[Father Bamph] Red Gemstone? There's no reason for that to be in a holy place. Hmm. There's more to this case than meets the eye. We better investigate the truth, starting now.

[Father Bamph] Come with me, adventurer, to the secret ceremonial grounds for the royal family. Just use the switch hidden within the bookshelf and I will meet you there.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Come with me to the secret ceremonial grounds so that we can investigate the possibility of sabotage with the exorcism that Bonnie Imbullea performed.

[Father Bamph] There is a hidden switch in the bookshelf that you can use to transport yourself there. Go, and I will meet you in the ceremonial grounds.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] This is a matter of grave importance, but we can't alert the royal family yet and cause a panic. It would be best to fully investigate this first and collect proof.

[Father Bamph] Brave adventurer, would you please visit the Assassin Guild in Morocc and see if you can learn anything about how we can verify whether poison was used to kill the princes?

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Please see if you can learn anything about testing for the use of poison from a member of the Assassin Guild in Morocc.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Ah, you've returned~ Have you managed to learn anything about poison from the Assassin Guild? I know their members must be very difficult to find...

^3355FFYou relate all of the information you learned about poison to Father Bamph, including the method to test for the use of poison in murder.

[Father Bamph] Ah, I see. Then, would you please bring 1 Yellow Gemstone and 1 Green Potion to the secret ceremonial grounds as soon as you can? I will wait over there for you once again.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] You can use the hidden switch in the bookshelf to enter the secret ceremonial grounds. Don't forget that we need^3131FF 1 Yellow Gemstone^000000 and ^3131FF1 Green Potion^000000 to test for poison.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] I can't believe it! If poison was used, then the second and third princes were murdered! Unbelievable... How can anyone kill children?

[Father Bamph] At the very least, we now know that their deaths were not Bonnie Imbullea's fault. Now I must discuss with Father Biscuss and decide how to tell the royal family about this...

[Father Bamph] Once again, let me remind you that everything that has transpired here must be kept secret. The public cannot know of Jormungand's curse! It would cause political turmoil and chaos!

[Father Bamph] Still, that does not mean that I cannot personally thank you for all of your help. I'm very grateful for what you have done, adventurer. May safety accompany you on all of your journeys.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] I'm at a loss at what to do. Sometimes, even I have doubts and believe that Odin has abandoned us...

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Ah, you've returned~ Have you managed to learn anything about poison from the Assassin Guild? I know their members must be very difficult to find...

^3355FFYou relate all of the information you learned about poison to Father Bamph, including the method to test for the use of poison in murder.

[Father Bamph] Ah, I see. Then, would you please bring^3131FF 1 Yellow Gemstone^000000 and ^3131FF1 Green Potion^000000 to the secret ceremonial grounds as soon as you can? I will wait over there for you once again.

[Father Bamph] At the very least, we now know that their deaths were not Bonnie Imbullea's fault. Now I must discuss with Father Biscuss and decide how to tell the royal family about this...

[Father Bamph] Oh, and would you please inform ^3131FFBonnie Imbullea^000000 that the deaths of the princes were not her fault? I'm sure that news would bring her great relief from her burden of guilt...

[Father Bamph] Once again, let me remind you that everything that has transpired here must be kept secret. The public cannot know of Jormungand's curse! It would cause political turmoil and chaos!

[Father Bamph] Still, that does not mean that I cannot personally thank you for all of your help. I'm very grateful for what you have done, adventurer. May safety accompany you on all of your journeys.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Have you spoken to Bonnie Imbullea yet? Try not to worry about the news about the princes' murder. Father Biscuss and I will handle it.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Oh, Long time, no see. Have you spoken to Bonnie yet? Ah, and how may I help you today?

^3355FFYou tell Father Bamph that rare herbs grow in a land to the west, although you do not mention that you told Rodafrian about the curse.^000000

[Father Biscuss] Land to the west? That place is rumored to be populated by fanatics. Father Bamph, I think they may be prime suspects for the murder of the princes...

[Father Bamph] Well, I'll admit that it's possible, but we haven't had contact with anyone from the land to the west for so long... It's still far too early to make those kinds of assumptions.

Land to the west?

Available immediately

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Not much is known about the land to the west. We did send several priests there once to spread our faith. However, they failed...

[Father Bamph] From what I can tell, almost everyone there is a strong adherent of that region's native religion. Anyway, thank you for informing us. We'll handle it from here.

[Father Bamph] Ah, to preserve the secrets of the royal family, I ask that you refrain from entering the secret ceremonial grounds from now on. Thanks again for your help,

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] I'm sorry, but would it be alright if we talked later? I have to handle a very important task now...

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] Oh, I've been waiting for you, adventurer. I'm sorry for giving you such short notice, but it seems that you've grown much stronger since the last time we met.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] The Church has received a request from Prontera Palace, but we don't have the resources to handle it. I believe you'd be well suited to this task if you'll help us.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] A man of high rank suddenly disappeared a while ago. Although Prontera Palace asked us to find him, I can only tell you who he is later.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] All we know is that he was last seen in Comodo. Please speak to our informant, ^6B8E23Larjes^000000, and he will assist you in your search for the lost official.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] Please go to Comodo and find our informant, ^6B8E23Larjes^000000, in the Casino. He will help you in your search for the official who disappeared.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Ah, so you found Larjes? How has your investigation of that official's disappearance progressing? I hope that he is still safe and sound when you find him.

Tell him what Larjes said.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] I see. We've detected some disquieting activity from Arunafeltz lately, but I didn't think they would make their move so soon. Hmm... Give me a moment to think.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Well, I've considered all possible scenarios. I think it would work best if you continue your investigation on our behalf. That is, if you're willing to do it.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] We don't want to provoke an international conflict with our official involvement, but I also can't force you to work for us. Whether you can help is your choice.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] I hope that you decide to help us. The safety of our nation depends on the success of this investigation. We could really use your help.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] Thank you. I'm glad to hear that you'll help us. You may take the airship in Izlude to travel to Arunafeltz, where you must continue your investigation.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] I believe that you should be able to learn more if you investigate the city of ^9370DBRachel^000000. Please accept this money to cover your Airship fee. Thank you, and good luck.

Script requirement

[Father Bamph] Hmm... What's the best way for us to handle this? Let me think about our options. We can--no. That wouldn't work. This will be difficult.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] You might have problems in Rachel since the culture there is much different than our own. Their ways of doing things, their government... Everything is tied to religion.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Thank you so much for all of your hard work. Our agents will contact you whenever they uncover any new information. Remember that no one can know what we've been doing.

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] Thank you for bring us such important information. With your help, we were able to clear a few unsolved cases. We expected something like this, but not this soon.

[Father Bamph] I fear that the Royal Court has been bickering over their own selfish needs. I pray that it does not grow worse, devolve into chaos. ^666666*Sigh*^000000 We'll see...

Dialogue ends here

[Father Bamph] It's upsetting to me that Arunafeltz has been so quiet lately. You know the expression about there being a quiet lull before a raging storm, right?
