Bad Medicine/Script

The following is a transcript of the subquest for Luczak, a character from King's Knight -Wrath of the Dark Dragon-.

Drotrois Cald
3rd Moon of the Luvan Year 321

—Town Outskirts—

Ray Jack: How much farther to this Luczak's home, Kaliva?

Kaliva: Not much farther at all...ah, you see? We have arrived.

Kaliva: Luckzak, it is I, Kaliva. Are you home?

Luczak: ...Kaliva, I have been waiting for you.

Luczak: Welcome to my humble home, both of you.

Ray Jack: Your hospitality is most appreciated.

Luczak: Would you care for a cup of benna tea? It's freshly brewed.

Kaliva: That would be splendid, thank you.

Luczak: Now, what did you wish to discuss with me?

Ray Jack: Yes, well there is a village that is suffering from the Drotois cald.

Ray Jack: As you may know, it is a disease that can be treated with an elixir, but the village does not have enough.

Kaliva: Which is why we have come seeking your aid.

Luczak: I see...so this is a medicinal request.

Kaliva: The Drotois cald elixir is a difficult mixture, and its ingredients are rare.

Kaliva: The current epidemic requires that we provide the elixir to as many affected as possible.

Kaliva: So we had to come to you Luczak. No one in the realm is more gifted at mixing elixirs.

Luczak: Truth be told, I am quite busy with my research into new medicines.

Luczak: ...but I cannot refuse the request of master's greatest friend. I am at your service.

Ray Jack: Ah...!

Kaliva: I am in your debt, Luczak.

Luczak: But I will need you both to assist me in gathering the ingredients.

Ray Jack: But of course. Let us begin at once.

A Fair Price
Ray Jack: The next ingredient is the last, I do believe.

Kaliva: Hmm, lupin flower petals. These are quite rare as well. Where do you propose we look?

Luczak: If memory serves, there is a merchant here that sells them.

Merchant: Welcome, welcome. What can I help you gentlemen with today?

Kaliva: We require the petals of a lupin flower. Have you any?

Merchant: But of course we do! A moment, if you will...

Merchant: Oi, bring it here!

Servant: Yes, master...one set of lupin petals will be five hundred thousand zell, kind sirs.

Ray Jack: Five hundred thousand!? Are they truly that dear?

Luczak: ...No. Indeed they are rather rare and expensive, but this extortion.

Merchant: I'm afraid, dear sirs, that the recent Drotois cald epidemic has driven up demand...and thus the price.

Merchant: I assure you that the price I offer is the fair market price...heh heh heh!

Ray Jack: Fair!? Have you no decency? No compassion?

Ray Jack: People's lives are at stake! Would you let your own avarice—

Luczak: Very well, then we shall look elsewhere.

Ray Jack: Luczak!? Where are you going!?

Luczak: I was under the impression that time is of the essence. We should not waste it arguing with scum.

Luczak: We should make our way to where the lupin flowers actually grow. We can collect the petals there.

The Fair Price
—Several Days Later—

—Town Outskirts—

Tonio: Thank the kings that Luczak was able to create enough elixir for all the villagers!

Kaliva: Mm, I thought that it would take more time but...that is the genius of Luczak for you.

Ray Jack: Once we receive the elixir from Luczak, we must quickly make our way to the village.

Tonio: If I may ask, what separates magic elixirs from ordinary medicines?

Kaliva: Simply put, an elixir is a healing spell that activates when it is consumed.

Kaliva: Unlike other spells however, it can be preserved and stored, thus it can be used by anyone.

Kaliva: It is a most useful magic, but very difficult to prepare. Indeed, there are very few in this world that can mix elixirs.

Tonio: Ah...so Luczak is actually quite a special individual.

Tonio: At first glance, you would think him your average greedy mage...

Ray Jack: ...I strongly suggest that you do not say that in his presence, Tonio.

—Luczak's Home— Luczak: Here is the promised mixture. That should be enough for all the afflicted.

Ray Jack: Thank you Luczak. You have saved the village.

Servant: Master Luczak! Is Master Luczak here!?

Luczak: Ah...the crooked merchant's servant. What brings you here?

Servant: Yes, well...my master has...come down with the Drotois cald...

Servant: I understand this is a somewhat selfish request but...could you spare some of your elixir?

Ray Jack: He has the ingredients in his shop, does he not? Why does he not mix the elixir himself?

Servant: Well, uh...the mage we hired to prepare the mixture...failed.

Kaliva: Most unfortunate. The skills of the mage you hired were insufficient.

Servant: I beg you Master Luczak, please prepare the mixture! We will pay any price!

Luczak: Indeed? Then the price is five hundred thousand zell.

Servant: ...! But that is exorbitant!

Luczak: Oh, you cannot pay? That is unfortunate. Good day to you, sir.

Servant: ...Good day, Master Luczak...

Tonio: That crooked merchant got what he deserved, if you ask me!

Ray Jack: Still, one should have some pity for a sick man.

Luczak: ...You have received the elixir I prepared for you.

Luczak: It is yours to distribute as you please.

Ray Jack: ...Yes, I believe I understand. Pardon me sirs, I have business with Luczak's last visitor.

Luczak:
