Dialogue[edit]

Initial dialogue[edit]

Vasili Lutgardis
"Can I help you? Better yet, can you help me? Business has never been better, and my waiting list isn't getting shorter! But being a legendary instrument crafter is harder than it looks. I'm so busy, I do not have the time to craft any truly unique masterpieces. If I am to become a true legend beyond this rather provincial market, I need help collecting the most rare and expensive components for my new creations.
Take this, for example, my secret design for a new musical instrument neither seen nor heard ever before! Yes, I speak of the one and only melodic gaki flute! I have all the parts I need, expensive and polished and ready to piece together. All that remains is the piece that really puts the melodic gaki in the melodic gaki flute, by which I mean the melodic gaki horn. Now, some say the melodic gaki is a myth, but I say, nonsense! Why, I saw it myself, only a few...decades ago. Surrounded by dangerous....
That is, look, friend, I've got orders to fill. Just bring me a melodic gaki horn, and you'll be rewarded. Or my name isn't Vasili Lutgardis!"
Yes Accept: "Sounds like the mythical melodic gaki needs to die."
No Decline: "Are you crazy? Gaki are a myth."
Ask Ask: "The melodic gaki may be a myth, but I can't become a wealthy, grateful legend unless I get a melodic gaki horn. Did I mention grateful?"

Reward dialogue[edit]

Vasili Lutgardis
"So the Melodic Gaki really does exist! I never doubted it for a moment, of course not! Why, I even let word slip that I'm working on a new instrument, and my waiting list has gone through the roof! And once I can learn how to replicate the shape and tenor of the melodic gaki horn using less expensive short-nosed gakilids...but I digress. Please take this reward. I think this is going to be a profitable partnership!"

Notes[edit]

  • You may wish to also have the quest The Experimental Weaponsmith active while performing this quest since both quests take you to the same general area in Ferndale.
