Quest Description

In Aaru Village, it seems that a member of The Eremites is recruiting...

(Talk to Atiyah): Atiyah: Join the Eremites and embrace a wonderful new life! Come, friend, would you like to hear about the Eremites?; Uh...; Atiyah: Oh, come on, just listen up a bit. The Eremites is a good community to be a part of! We're free! We're united! Friendly, too!; Atiyah: And if you join up with us, you'll get the chance to fleece those tree-dwellers of their fat wallets. The Akademiya's researchers are a rich lot, and they're not ones to default on their payments either!; I'm already in the Adventurers' Guild.; I've already got a ton of commissions on my plate.; Atiyah: Eh? You're with the Adventurers' Guild? I mean... That's no obstacle, is it? C'mon, everyone's got a side hustle nowadays — and it's not like adventurers and mercenaries are really that different, you get what I mean?; I think they're pretty different.; Atiyah: Well, we've got good food here too! Meat and fish are regulars on the menu!; Atiyah: And if you're lucky, you might even get to meet Dehya, the Flame-Mane! Now I... *cough*; Calm down, get some water.; You've had some practice with this pitch, huh?; Atiyah: *cough* Sorry, sorry, I spoke too quickly there.; Atiyah: I haven't had anyone listen to my pitch for a while now, so I got a little excited there...; Atiyah: Still, are you really not even going to consider joining us?; Not at the moment.; I really do have my hands full with Adventurers' Guild business.; Atiyah: Alright, if you say so...; Are you always recruiting people here?; Atiyah: Yes. I mean, it is my job, after all. Nowadays, able hands are in short supply everywhere — and nowhere is that shortage more acute than in the mercenary industry.; Atiyah: *sigh* Well, I guess I can just tell you. We've got people, that's for sure, but our line of work is very dangerous. Things like escorting people are on the easier side — it's just tiring at most.; Atiyah: But if your work involves researchers, then it's like putting your head on the block. You'll be blessed to come back in one piece...; Atiyah: After coming back from these missions, most of our members have to take at least ten days to half a month off... So we always need people to fill in those gaps.; Atiyah: Sumeru's a big place with lots of researchers, so we've got new work coming in every day. We're basically working round the clock at this point.; Atiyah: So yeah, we need to get some new people, or we're going to buckle under the load.; In that case, have you managed to find anyone who's on board?; Atiyah: You mean here in this village? Hahaha... Nope. Not a one.; Atiyah: Actually, I should correct myself. It's more that the people I'd love to have join don't want to, and that I wouldn't take those who want to join.; Atiyah: If you don't believe me, why don't we take a quick walk about together? Who knows, you might just be convinced by the time we're done.; Atiyah: ...Kidding, kidding. I know you said you didn't want to join, and I won't force you. I'd just... y'know, like some company while I have a little walk.; I can go with you, no problem.; Atiyah: Hehe, thanks a lot. Let me see... Let's go look for Sania first. She's usually free in the day, but at night... Well, she's usually busy having important discussions with Jabari.

(Talk to Sania in the morning): Sania: How worrying...; Atiyah: Good afternoon, Sania! What are you buying?; Sania: I've told you many times before, Atiyah, Jabari isn't interested in joining you, nor do I want him to go become a mercenary. I'm not going to help you convince him.; Atiyah: Well, that's a shame. With his culinary skills, Jabari'd do really well with us, and your family's financial standing would be improved greatly, too.; Atiyah: And hasn't he said before that he'd like to go out and find work? If that's what he really wants, who better to recommend work than an old friend, eh?; Sania: Don't take anything he says seriously. He'll tell you that one day, and change his mind the next.; Sania: In the end, he just can't bear to leave me here alone in the village... and I couldn't bear to see him slogging away by himself, either.; Sania: What's more, you're asking that he risk his neck out there as a mercenary! Even if he wanted to go, I'd stop him for sure.; Sania: Let's just leave this topic be. I've got things to buy — go bother someone else.; Atiyah: Phew... Well, alright then. You see, traveler? This is what work looks like for me every day.; Atiyah: Next up on my list of people to meet is Fodil. He was one of us once... but he quit.; Atiyah: Sure would be nice if I could convince him to make a bit of a comeback...

(Talk to Fodil): Fodil: Atiyah... Not you again.; Atiyah: Hehe, persistence is one of our virtues, you know.; Fodil: Well, then you should know that sticking to principles is mine.; Atiyah: Come on now, brother...; Fodil: I've left the organization already. Don't call me that.; Atiyah: Right, alright, Fodil. You sure you're not considering coming back at all?; Atiyah: I know that some of us can be a bit... reckless, but most of us are perfectly law-abiding citizens!; Fodil: I've said this before, Atiyah. I'm not going back.; Fodil: The things you speak of, I've already confirmed them with my own two eyes.; Fodil: Perhaps not all the Eremites are a lawless lot, and not every Eremite enjoys kicking those who have already gone down...; Fodil: But ill deeds spread, Atiyah. All it takes is one person to act like the law is merely a suggestion, and everyone else will be affected by them.; Fodil: One person influences another, and if that group keeps acting a certain way, they will influence yet more people...; Fodil: I'm sure you know what that means better than I do, Atiyah.; Fodil: It is all too easy to do evil in such an environment.; Atiyah: ...; Fodil: You wish for me to return... just as I wish for you to leave.; Fodil: Perhaps from your perspective, the Eremites are not an evil organization even if they're not exactly honorable... But you can't always live in shades of gray.; Fodil: This is just a word of advice. You may do with it as you will.; Atiyah: I know, chief.; Fodil: Alright. If you do leave and need a new line of work, I will help you.; Are you alright?; Atiyah: Heh, well, there's no way I can win an argument with Fodil, I guess.; Atiyah: What's next? Right, right, let's rest a bit. I gotta say, my throat's getting tired after all that.

(Approach Ayten)

Ayten: Hey, Uncle Atiyah! You still asking people to join the Eremites?

Atiyah: Why, if it isn't Ayten. Did you tell your mother you were coming here?

Ayten: I did! She's working, so I went to go play with Karima.

Karima: Hello, Uncle Atiyah!

Ayten: Uncle Atiyah, what do you think? About the stuff we talked about last time.

Ayten: I've been working out this whole time, and I've even been training with Karima.. She's never gonna catch me again in a race!

Karima: That one time doesn't count! It was because I didn't eat enough for lunch that day!

Ayten: ...Anyway, I've been following the training plan you gave me...

Ayten: So let me take the test again! Let's see if I'm good enough to join the Eremites!

Ah, so this is what you meant by...

...Someone who wants to join?

Atiyah: Ahem! Alright then, Ayten. As a member of the Eremites, I will conduct the test once again!

Ayten: Alright! C'mon, Karima, you join in too. Let's do this together!

Karima: But I don't wanna join the Eremites... I just want to stay here in the village and protect everyone...

Karima: But it would be nice to get Uncle Atiyah to test my skills. I mean, I did ask Miss Candace for advice on how to train before!

Ayten: Wait, what? When did you...

Atiyah: Hahaha! Good, good, that's the spirit!

Atiyah: Alright, Ayten, stop pouting. If we get the chance, I'll bring you to go get some pointers from Dehya! How does that sound?

Ayten: Really!? You'd do that?

Atiyah: We Eremites don't lie, kiddo.

Atiyah: But before we begin the test, let's have this traveler show us the expected standards.

Wait, I'm involved in this now?

Atiyah: ...I haven't had the chance to do any demonstrations before. I couldn't just run around doing those and leave these kids here by themselves. That would be too dangerous... Anyway, thanks for your help, Traveler.

Don't you usually do the demonstrations?

Atiyah: Oh, come on, do I look like I had time to demonstrate between my job and looking out for these kids?

Atiyah: I'm counting on you, Traveler.

Atiyah: *cough* Anyway, our Traveler here's a very capable adventurer. I had to do a lot to get (‍him/her‍) to come and give you a demonstration.

Atiyah: Better watch carefully now.

Ayten: Alright!

Karima: An adventurer, huh? As in, someone from the Adventurers' Guild?

Atiyah: No matter whether you're a mercenary or a guard, you will always wind up coming across situations in which retreat is the best option.

Atiyah: When that happens, we often live by the principle that the quicker we can get away, the better.

Atiyah: Thank you, Traveler. Now, let us quickly demonstrate... How to make a swift retreat!

Atiyah: Here's our starting point. Now then, please demonstrate.

Paimon: Basically, we just need to get over there as quickly as possible, right?

Paimon: Honestly, Paimon's surprised by how easy that is...

(Talk to Atiyah, Ayten, or Karima after completing the demonstration): Ayten: Wow!; Karima: You're... so fast...; Atiyah: Very good! You were quick... and more importantly, very steady.; Atiyah: Watch and learn, kids.; Atiyah: Don't insist on pushing through every dangerous situation you get in. If you must retreat, retreat decisively!; Atiyah: That means you especially, Ayten.; Ayten: I know, I know...; Atiyah: Good. Let's move on to the next step... It's time for some live combat demonstration.; Ayten: Ooh, awesome! My dad carved me a wooden sword that I carry with me. What about you, Karima?; Karima: I do have a small bow, though my mother only gave me arrows without tips...; Atiyah: Hahaha! That's alright! You have a sword and a bow, and your boundless courage. That's all anyone really needs to begin their adventures.; Atiyah: But remember not to run around aimlessly when you're outside the village. Stick with me and the Traveler at all times.; You're really taking them outside the village?; We're going out with two kids in tow...; Atiyah: Oh, don't you worry. I've scouted that area beforehand. There's just a bunch of sickly scorpions out there. They barely retain any offensive capabilities, so we should be alright.; Atiyah: And whatever happens, the two of us will be there!; So you're counting me in now?; I don't remember agreeing to this...; Atiyah: Oh, come on, we're already here. You know, "in for one Mora, in for a thousand" and such! I'll make sure to pay you according to the Guild's regulations!; Atiyah: Well, buckle up, kids. We're heading off!; Ayten: Woohoo!; Karima: I must admit... I'm a bit nervous.

(Approach the marked location): Atiyah: These scorpions are still here... Just as I thought.; Atiyah: Well, let's hit 'em hard, Traveler. Watch and learn, kids!

(After defeating the Scorpions): Ayten: Those scorpions are huge! Uh, should we really get any closer to them?; Karima: I shot them with my bow, but they didn't even flinch...; Karima: But you... you defeated them so easily...; Well, that's many years of training for you.; You two are still young.; Karima: But... Miss Candace said I'd improved...; Atiyah: Chin up, Karima! You'll become strong eventually — but you've got to take it all one day at a time.; Atiyah: You too, Ayten. If you keep training hard like this, it's only a matter of time before we'll let you in.; Ayten: Ohh, if only I could get Miss Dehya to teach me...; Karima: The next time I see Miss Candace, I'll get her to teach me more!; Atiyah: Hahaha! That's the spirit!; And in the end, you didn't get anyone to join.; What about your job, then?; Atiyah: *cough* Hey now, didn't they ever tell you not to harp on a man's private woes?; Atiyah: We can talk about work later... and it's not as if my advertising has had no effect at all.; Atiyah: Lots of young men and women have left the village to see the outside world after hearing what I had to say... even if they didn't really want to join us.; Atiyah: Well, we can talk about that later. I have to bring these kids back to the village now. Their parents are probably at least a bit worried now that they've been out so long.; Atiyah: Here's a little something for you, by the way. Thanks for coming all the way out here with me.; Atiyah: *sigh* Now, how am I going to explain this to the rest of the Eremites when I go back for a debriefing...; Ayten: Uh, Uncle Atiyah, you haven't given us our tests yet.; Atiyah: That so? Ah, yes... yes. Let's go back to the village first, and then we'll do the test there.
