Journal

Redolent Rose appears perturbed and in need of assistance.

Forgoing explanations, the guildmaster requests that you make him a dozen bolts of undyed hempen cloth fast. Craft the required items, and deliver them to him posthaste.

Though the guildmaster is grateful for your aid in supplying the Immortal Flames' pressing need, he cannot hide his contempt for the adventurers whose irresponsible behavior occasioned it. Happily, the incident did present you with an opportunity to prove your worth, and Redolent Rose is now of the opinion that you are ready to accept commissions from Eustace at the Quicksand. You have taken a momentous step towards working for the Sunsilk brand.

Dialogue

Accepting the quest

Redolent Rose: Ah, [Player]! You'll do.
Redolent Rose: Make me a dozen bolts of undyed hempen cloth as fast as you can.
Redolent Rose: Note the palpable sense of urgency. Time is of the essence, my boy/[?]!

Delivering items to Redolent Rose

Redolent Rose: We urgently need that cloth, [Player]...
Redolent Rose: Praise Nymeia for bringing you here when She did.
Redolent Rose: There wasn't time to explain before, but Sunsilk Tapestries has the honor of supplying the Immortal Flames. Noble patrons, to be sure, but ones whose needs can be rather difficult to predict.
Redolent Rose: On this particular occasion, a detachment of ale-soaked adventurers from the Foreign Brigade thought the Silver Bazaar an appropriate location for a bout of fisticuffs, resulting in a pressing need for bandages...
Redolent Rose: Ordinarily, we would not accept such a large commission at short notice, but the Foreign Brigade is a favorite of Her Grace. It would not do to let the troublemakers suffer, even if they did bring it upon themselves...
Redolent Rose: And so your lovingly woven fabric will soon be wrapped around the cracked heads, gashed knees, and split knuckles of said ruffians.
Redolent Rose: Still, your time hasn't been entirely wasted. I daresay you can now weave hempen cloth in your sleep—which is a handy talent to have, given the fabric's many uses.
Redolent Rose: You've made progress, in short. In fact, I do believe you're ready to undertake commissions.
Redolent Rose: I refer to the kind of work doled out by Eustace at the Quicksand, of course. It'll be a while yet before you can be entrusted with anything bearing the Sunsilk name.
Redolent Rose: But should you continue to improve at the rate you have been, that glorious day may not be so very far off...
