Gameplay Notes[]

- After this commission, Ellin will have the training dummy the Traveler brought (whether intact or the one her father fixed).
Dialogue[]
Quest DescriptionHerman seems to be troubled...
- (Talk to Herman)
- Herman: What to do...
What's wrong?- Herman: It's just... My daughter Ellin has her heart set on joining the Knights of Favonius; she's training for the tryouts now.
- Herman: *sigh* I had really hoped to help mentor her, but she just doesn't believe me when I say I used to be an adventurer. She just wants to train alone.
- Herman: There's nothing I can do to prove it to her, either... Once you've got a wife and kids, it'd be selfish and reckless to carry on going out on these dangerous adventures.
- Herman: My responsibility to take care for my family takes priority over the ego boost I'd get from going on an adventure.
- Herman: I'm still an adventurer at heart though, and I certainly still know a thing or two about it.
- Herman: Once when I was on an adventure, I noticed these wooden dummies that the hilichurls use for combat training.
- Herman: They look pretty sturdy — I'm sure they'd be great for Ellin to train with, too.
- Herman: Could you go and collect a few hilichurl training dummies for me? Of course, I respect the adventurers' code and wouldn't make you do it for nothing. How about it?
- Okay.
- Herman: That's the spirit! Ah, I was just like you back when I first joined the Guild, up for anything! And when I say anything...
- Herman: Ahem. Just joking of course! Off you go now.
- They're only hilichurls, you can take 'em...
- Herman: I really can't. Even adventurers have their limitations; there's only so much adventure you can take on in one go.
- Herman: And the adventure that is married life is more than enough to deal with on its own, I don't care who you are...
- Herman: So if you please... I will leave the hilichurls to you.
What's wrong?- (Talk to Herman again)
- Herman: Did you find some wooden dummies?
- Not yet.
- Herman: Ellin's busy training away, and this is the one thing I can do for her...
- Herman: If I was still an adventurer I'd do it myself.
- Herman: And what with the current state of Mondstadt's Adventurers' Guild, most of my former co-adventurers have also given up the trade.
- Herman: There's not much that can be done about it. The Knights of Favonius are the influential ones these days, all the young people want to join up. By contrast, the idea of enduring the harsh world of the wild alone, as an adventurer...
- Herman: It doesn't really appeal to anyone anymore.
- (Return to Herman)
- Herman: Did you find some training dummies?
- (Bringing Herman the training dummies intact)
- Yup.
- Herman: Ooh, nice... Yes, these are nice and sturdy!
- Herman: If they can withstand a pummeling by a hilichurl, they should be able to take whatever Ellin throws at them.
- Herman: Thank you! And as per adventurers' code, here's your reward.
- (Quest Completed)
- (Bringing Herman the training dummies damaged)
- Yes, however...
- Herman: Whew... Looks like you put too much force into it. I don't know how you managed to break such a sturdy wooden contraption though.
- Herman: I suppose no one pulls their punches on account of a few wooden sticks in the heat of battle...
- (Herman assembles the dummy)
- Herman: I can't give this to Ellin as-is. But it's good wood, so with a bit of work it should be fine!
- Herman: I've assembled it, albeit with some difficulty — it's not half bad, is it?
- Herman: All thanks to you, ultimately. Here's your payment. As promised, I don't take favors for free.
- (Herman puts away the dummy)
- Herman: You can quit being an adventurer, but you can't quit respecting the code!
- (Quest Completed)
- (If Ellin's training dummy gets destroyed)
- Ellin: HEY! What are you DOING!? My dad gave that to me to practice with!
- Ellin: If I don't make it through the Knights of Favonius tryouts, YOU will be the one to blame!
