Accepting the quest

Esmour

You have troubled yourself to come all this way. I wonder if I might not trouble you a bit further.

  • FR Puisque vous avez l'air de vous ennuyer, aidez-nous à chasser ces maudites mouches bleues ! ‘You there! Since you look bored, help us chase off these cursed blowflies!’ English politely thanks you for coming so far; French brusquely says you look bored.
  • JA ここまで来たついでだ、あんた、ハエ退治を手伝ってくれよ。 ‘Since you've come this far anyway, you there, help me get rid of the flies.’ English asks the favor with humble politeness; Japanese asks bluntly and casually.

As you well know, we keep a lichyard here. The scent of death's decay draws blowfly swarms, which are as unclean as they are unwelcome.

  • FR L'odeur putride qui s'échappe des tombes du cimetière attire des hordes de ces insectes, et leur bourdonnement nous donne la migraine jusqu'à l'intérieur de l'église ! ‘The putrid smell rising from the graves draws hordes of these insects, and their buzzing gives us migraines even inside the church!’ English objects that the flies are unclean; French objects that their buzzing gives everyone migraines.

Slay five of these pestilent swarms, and the church will be in your debt.

Report to Esmour.

Esmour

Thank you, friend. If the swarms were to spread their pestilence at the church unchecked, before long we would need to mourn the mourning.

  • FR Grâce à vous, nous allons enfin pouvoir nous recueillir en silence et accueillir les visiteurs dans de bonnes conditions. ‘Thank you! Thanks to you, we will finally be able to pray in silence and welcome visitors properly.’ English jokes that pestilence would have them mourning the mourners; French is glad of the silence.

For the time being, at least, the grieving can pray in peace for their dead to cross over safely. Thal bless you.

  • FR Mais j'ai bien peur que ces mouches reviennent... ‘But I fear these flies will come back...’ English is relieved mourners can pray in peace; French fears the flies will return.
  • FR Je vais demander à notre fossoyeur de creuser des tombes plus profondes. ‘I'll ask our gravedigger to dig deeper graves.’ English ends with a blessing from Thal; French ends with a plan to dig deeper graves.
  • DE Am Ende gibt es sonst überhaupt niemanden mehr, der noch für die Verstorbenen beten kann ... ‘Otherwise, in the end, there would be nobody at all left to pray for the departed ...’ English is relieved mourners can pray in peace; German grimly notes no one would be left to pray.
  • JA まったく、 何が悲しくてこんな所に参拝するかねぇ。 ‘Honestly, why on earth would anyone come to pray at a place like this?’ English says mourners can now pray in peace; Japanese grumbles about why anyone visits such a place.
