“Eaduuard appears to be toying with a defective device of some sort.
— In-game description
Rewards
- Choose one of the following options:
Steps
- Show the broken oven to Marques.
- Deliver a bronze ornamental hammer to Marques.
Journal
- Marques identifies the oven as an alchemist's alembic, and states that while he can modify it for Eaduuard's purposes, he requires a bronze ornamental hammer, which can be purchased from the merchants at Camp Drybone.
- According to Marques, the makeshift oven should take no longer than a day to prepare -- a truly amazing feat of engineering. Just how the refugee acquired such advanced skills is a mystery to all, including the man himself...
Dialogue
Eaduuard
Aw, just my luck! I scavenged this here oven, thinkin' I could use it to make myself hot meals, but it looks to be in a bad way. Lots of dents, a few holes even...
Hey, you're pretty well traveled, ain't ye? Ever seen one of these before─or better yet, know how to fix it? No? Bah...
Wait, I know who we ought to ask. Mind showin' this oven to Marques for me? He repaired a clockwork toy I found once, so maybe he can do somethin' with it.
Marquez
...Is there something I can do for you?
This...this is an alchemist's alembic. You say the boy wishes to use it for cooking?
I suppose it would be possible, were I to make some modifications...but I would need a bronze ornamental hammer to do so. Can you bring me one, Forename? You need only go so far as Camp Drybone to find a merchant who sells tools.
I can convert the alembic into a makeshift oven, but only once you have brought me that hammer.
Thank you, Forename. It shan't take more than a day, I believe.
It's strange...I know I must have learned these skills long ago, but I haven't the foggiest when and where that was...
