Journal

Erimmont of the Mun–Tuy Cellars would put you to work as an apprentice masher.
In order to obtain a bottle of Mun–Tuy sauce without delay, you have agreed to help Erimmont apply the finishing touches to the latest batch. To start, you have been instructed to obtain the following three secret spices from the cellar's stores: a perilla leaf, an onze of Shroud pepper, and a dried dragon pepper.
You have obtained the perilla leaf, Shroud pepper, and dried dragon pepper as bade. Add them to the gyle-fat to ensure Erimmont's Mun–Tuy sauce is given its distinctive flavor.
The secret seasonings have been added, and the fermentation process complete. Speak with Geoffrey and obtain a bottle of Mun–Tuy sauce.
After quite an ordeal, you have obtained a bottle of Mun–Tuy sauce. Deliver it to Aedoc before she is devoured alive by her own men.
Aedoc is overjoyed to be restocked with Mun–Tuy sauce. Despite its unusual aroma, it remains an indispensable ingredient in many a beloved Gridanian dish.

Hidden

Easter egg 'Gridania wasn't built in a day' twists the saying 'Rome wasn't built in a day', which means good things take time. Erimmont

uses it to say the

sauce cannot be rushed.

Easter egg The 'gyle' in 'gyle-fat' is a real old brewing word for the amount of beer brewed at one time. It suits a cellar that ferments its

sauce in batches like ale.

Erimmont

Where's your Mun–Tuy sauce, you say? Look, friend, Gridania wasn't built in a day.

DE Aha, eine/einer von der ganz eiligen Sorte, was? ‘Aha, one of the very hasty sort, eh?’ English answers with the proverb Gridania wasn't built in a day; German calls you one of the hasty sort.
JA そんなに早く欲しいんだったら、最後の仕上げを手伝っておくれ。 ‘If you want it that soon, help me with the final finishing touches.’ English answers with the proverb Gridania wasn't built in a day; Japanese drops it and asks for help instead.

I'll tell you what, though─if you're so eager, how's about you help me put the finishing touches on my latest batch? You just might learn a thing or two in the process.

Here on these shelves, I keep my stock of secret spices. What gives my Mun–Tuy sauce its distinctive punch, you ask? A perilla leaf, a dried dragon pepper, and an onze of Shroud pepper. Just toss all three in the gyle-fat, and Geoffrey will take care of the rest. When the sauce is done, you're free to take a bottle to Aedoc─not that that's like to put an end to her whinin'.

DE Und richte Aedoc meine freundlichsten Grüße aus, wenn du ihr die Soße bringst. ‘And give Aedoc my friendliest regards when you bring her the sauce.’ English grumbles the sauce will not end Aedoc's whining; German sends Aedoc its friendliest regards.

Speak with Geoffrey.

Oh, hullo there. Apprenticing at the cellars for the day? Very well, then. One perilla leaf, one dried dragon pepper, and an onze of Shroud pepper, and... Mmm-mmm! Erimmont's done it again! As thanks for your help, this bottle is on the house.

Deliver the Mun–Tuy sauce to Aedoc.

Aedoc

You're back! Oh, do tell me you've brought my Mun–Tuy sauce! I swear to you, I just overheard a Wood Wailer talking about tossing me into the cauldron!

DE Die hungrigen Wächter waren kurz davor, hier einen Aufstand anzuzetteln. ‘The hungry guards were about to start a riot here.’ English fears a Wood Wailer wants to toss the cook into the cauldron; German says the hungry guards nearly rioted.
JA 衛士さんたちがお腹をすかして暴動寸前なんです！ ‘The guards are hungry and on the verge of rioting!’ English fears a Wood Wailer wants to toss the cook into the cauldron; Japanese says the hungry guards nearly riot.

Ah, the distinctive, mouthwatering aroma of Mun–Tuy beans─topped off with Erimmont's special blend of secret spices, no doubt! He has done it again! Thank you, friend─I daresay you've prevented a mutiny today!

DE Der Geruch der Soße mag gewöhnungsbedürftig sein, doch gridanische Gerichte sind ohne sie einfach unvorstellbar. ‘The smell of the sauce may take some getting used to, but Gridanian dishes are simply unthinkable without it.’ English calls the aroma mouthwatering; German says the smell takes some getting used to.
DE Falls du es nicht schon bist, kommst du sicher bald auch auf den Geschmack. ‘If you aren't already, you will surely soon acquire the taste too.’ English thanks you for preventing a mutiny; German predicts you will soon acquire the taste.
JA 香りは……まぁ、好き好きですがね……。 ‘The smell... well, that is a matter of taste...’ English calls the aroma mouthwatering; Japanese says the smell is a matter of taste.
