Journal

The self-possessed broom needs your help to satisfy his fetish for bridges.

Having revealed to you his obsession for bridges, the self-possessed broom bids you search for what is supposedly the tiniest bridge in the area. According to a little bird he spoke with, the bridge lies along the cliffs to the west.

You have found a tree trunk that is arguably serving as a bridge. Commit the features of this bridge to your memory, that you might describe it to the self-possessed broom.

You have memorized every ilm of the tree trunk. Make your way back to Matoya's Cave and report your discovery to the self-possessed broom.

The self-possessed broom is taken by your description of the tree trunk, and expresses his desire to sweep it one day. In return for your service, he shares with you his knowledge of Matoya's Crystal Eye. Unfortunately, he does not seem to know what his mistress desires...

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Self-possessed Broom: Nam on skees egdelwonk, swish-swish-aroo! But if you desire my knowledge, you must first grant me my heart's desire!
Self-possessed Broom: After I finish sweeping, I go outside to dispose of the dust. And every time I do so, I find myself admiring bridges.
Self-possessed Broom: Fat bridges, skinny bridges, bridges made of rocks. Tough bridges, rickety bridges, even bridges with pigeon flocks. They are unique and fascinating, all.
Self-possessed Broom: I love to note and compare the differences─colors, sizes, and so forth. The other day, I got to wondering: what is the tiniest bridge in the area?
Self-possessed Broom: I spoke with a little bird, and she told me that there's a wooden bridge along the cliffs to the west, that's tinier than anything for malms. If you can find it for me, I will share with you my knowledge!

Reporting to the Self-Possessed Broom in Matoya's Cave

Self-possessed Broom: Snruter rerutnevda evarb eht, swish-swish-aroo! Did you find it? The tiny bridge of which the little bird spoke? Pray describe it too me, that I might behold it in my mind's eye!
Self-possessed Broom: Oh my, such a charming little bridge! Though I love big bridges and I cannot lie, there is something to be said for simplicity. I should like to sweep the bridge someday!
Self-possessed Broom: As promised, I will share with you such knowledge as I have received from my mistress. That is, the workings of her Crystal Eye! 
Self-possessed Broom: Tis the most prized of Mistress Matoya's possessions, allowing her to see such truths as lay hid in the ebb and flow of aether. 
Self-possessed Broom: I wonder if one could see behind the shelves with it...My bristles rustle at the mere thought of all the dust that has collected there.
Self-possessed Broom: ...Oh? You wished only to know that my mistress desires? I am afraid I cannot tell you, for she never imparted that knowledge to me. Sorry to disappoint!
