Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Vira Bowmaid: You're the adventurer who defeated the Garleans, yesss? I have need of one with your ssstrength.
Vira Bowmaid: I was attacked by a flock of gaganas, and in the midssst of battle, I lost my necklace. It is a keepsake from my sssister.
Vira Bowmaid: I have sssearched high and low, but it is nowhere to be found. Consssidering their fondness for shiny objectsss, I fear one of the gaganas may have eaten it.
Vira Bowmaid: I have to get it back, even if I mussst cut it from their belliesss.
Vira Bowmaid: But their numbersss are too great; I cannot do it alone. That is why I would asssk you to help me. If you are willing, meet me near our hunting grounds to the northeassst.

Speaking with the Vira bowmaid

Vira Bowmaid: Cursesss! This one'sss belly was empty.
Vira Bowmaid: Take a look around, and ssslay any gagana you find. I mussst have that necklace back!
(Optional)
Vira Bowmaid: I'm positive one of thessse gaganas has eaten my necklace. It'sss only a matter of time before we find it. 

Delivering the bejeweled necklace to the Vira bowmaid

Vira Bowmaid: A ssscore of gaganas slain and ssstill nothing. How did you fare?
<Hand Over Bejeweled Necklace>
Vira Bowmaid: Yesss, this is it! My necklace!
Vira Bowmaid: Let usss return to Vira Nilya. You mussst be compensssated for your help.

Reporting to the Vira bowmaid

Vira Bowmaid: Thank you again. Thisss necklace is more preciousss than you know.
Vira Bowmaid: You see, our gemcrafting isss without equal, employing ancient magicksss handed down through the generationsss. Each piece is treasure in itsss own right. Those made using crystalsss are said to be a reflection of the sssoul.
Vira Bowmaid: It is tradition to give such a token to our closssest sisters when we approach our final daysss.
Vira Bowmaid: One of my sssisters, mortally wounded in a Garlean attack, gifted me with this necklace shortly before passsing. I could never part with it.
Vira Bowmaid: You have ressstored the bond between me and my sssister. For that I will forever be in your debt.
