==Dialogue== | |||
H'naanza: Ah, [Forename], the very armorer I was hoping to see. Have you a moment or two to spare? It's about Blanstyr... | |||
H'naanza: Ever since he lost that contest, he's been keeping his distance from the forge. Then one day he simply appears as if naught had happened, and starts banging out a breastplate on one of the anvils. | |||
H'naanza: He crafts an entire suit, then mumbles something to the effect of “understanding the true nature of armor.” When I asked what he was on about, the daft old sod says he intends to don his own work, then go looking for battle in the wilds. | |||
H'naanza: Now, Blanstyr's a big lad, but he couldn't fight his way out of a fishing net. I tried to talk him out of it, of course, but you can imagine how ''that'' ended. | |||
H'naanza: Which brings me to your part in this, [Forename]. I suspect he'd more willingly lend an ear to someone whom he's not so inclined to despise. You'll find him loitering in his usual spot, if you're of a mind to convince the stubborn aurochs. | |||
H'naanza: Go find Blanstyr, and explain just how dangerous the wilds of La Noscea can be for someone without the proper training. | |||
Blanstyr: Well, look who it is. Listen, lad/lass, I know H'naanza sent ye. Just keep walkin' yer own path, an' I'll walk mine. | |||
Blanstyr: I've been doin' a lot o' thinkin' these past moons, ye see, an' I finally found me answer: I'll learn the secrets of armorcraft not in the flames o' the forge, but in the heat o' battle. An' if I die in the doin' of it, I'll go to me grave with no regrets. | |||
Blanstyr: Don't try to stop me, [Forename]. An' ye can tell that forgemaster o' yers to keep her twitchy nose outta me damn business, an' all! | |||
H'naanza: So, the old buzzard wouldn't listen to you either. It seems an excess of self-reflection has sent his thoughts down an odd track... | |||
H'naanza: You are no stranger to combat, [Forename]. Mayhap you are still the right lad/lass for the job. | |||
H'naanza: I want you to follow Blanstyr─quietly, mind─and see that he doesn't get himself killed. Assuming he sticks to his ridiculous plan, you'll find him out near the Eyes. | |||
H'naanza: Trail Blanstyr out to the Eyes, and be sure that he makes it back alive. | |||
Blanstyr: I'll learn the secrets of armorcraft not in the flames o' the forge, but in the heat o' battle. An' if I die in the doin' of it, I'll go to me grave with no regrets. | |||
Benathaire: ...Are you injured? 'Twas fortunate we happened by─you were more like to harm yourself with that flailing than slay your intended opponent. | |||
Benathaire: I must say, however, I do admire your devotion to your craft. Mayhap we shall call on you the next time we have need of an armorer. Safe travels, my friend. | |||
Blanstyr: I thought...<gasp>...I was a dead man. Clad meself in me finest armor...but I could hardly move, let alone...fight... | |||

Dialogue
H'naanza: Ah, [Forename], the very armorer I was hoping to see. Have you a moment or two to spare? It's about Blanstyr...
