Steps

• Deliver a grilled trout to Ingham.

Journal

• Lyngsath wants you to cook for a fellow culinarian.

• Lyngsath informs you that Ingham, a senior of yours at the guild, has been inconsolable since botching an order. Wishing to cheer him up, the guildmaster bids you make the poor soul one of his favorite dishes: grilled trout.

• Instead of cheering him up, your expertly prepared grilled trout has the wholly unintended effect of humiliating Ingham, who interprets the gesture as a form of challenge. Happily, his urge to better your efforts prompts him to forget his woes, and he gifts you a recruit's culinary knife, that you might compete on an even footing. Now armed with a secondary tool, you continue along your chosen path.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Lyngsath: Ye've come at a good time, [Forename]. Just so 'appens I need yer 'elp with somethin'.
Lyngsath: One of our chefs buggered up an order a bit ago, an' 'e's been down in the dumps ever since.
Lyngsath: Ingham, 'is name is—joined the guild a few moons afore you did. Determined lad, but don't take failure too well.
Lyngsath: Anyroad, we can't 'ave 'him cryin' into 'is soup—plays 'avoc with the seasonin', see—so I wants ye to try an' cheer 'im up. An' there's naught like a good meal to take a man's mind off 'is many failin's.
Lyngsath: A nice bit o' grilled trout should do the trick—'tis one of 'is favorites. Aye...if ye was to cook 'im up a plate o' that, I reckon 'e'd find the experience 'ighly motivatin'.
Lyngsath: The main ingredient, princess trout, can be 'ad at the Hyaline. As fer Ingham, ye'll find 'im workin' in the kitchens. Prepare the dish, an' take it to 'im. 'Appy grillin'.

Delivering a grilled trout to Ingham

Ingham: What is it? A grilled trout...for me? Well, yes, I am quite fond of the dish, but what have I done to deserve it?

Cutscene Start

Ingham: The guildmaster thought it would cheer me up, you say? Hmph! Well meaning though he may be, food is not the solution to every woe. But come, let us see your handiwork. It is my duty as your senior to give you counsel, after all.
Ingham: Surely not...
Ingham: You made this? Truly? The aroma...<sniff> <sniff>...it's delightful.
Ingham: And the skin—ever so slightly charred, just as it should be... Twelve save me, the thought of sinking my teeth into that crispy layer...and tasting the tender flesh beneath...ohhh...MMMMMM...
Ingham: <slurp> Beg pardons. A-As I was saying, this is quite...impressive. In fact, I doubt even the guildmaster would be able to fault it—trust me, I know.
Ingham: But...I don't understand it. You've been here scarcely long enough to learn syrup making, yet you're already capable of...of this?
Ingham: Do you know how long it took me to achieve the same? Six bleeding moons!
Ingham: >> Gods, am I so utterly devoid of talent? No... No, I will not be outdone by a mere novice! I refuse to be outdone! <<
Ingham: ...Ahem. My apologies. I thank you for the trout...and would have you accept this knife from me.
Ingham: Use it in conjunction with your skillet and your cooking experience will be much enhanced.
Ingham: Do not mistake it for a gift. It is payment for the trout—nothing more. Besides, it would give me no pleasure to get the better of a man/woman who wasn't properly equipped. Now, leave me be—I have stock to take!
