Aeluuin
My dear lady/good man, I daresay you're more reliable than the rest of my hired help put together. For better or for worse, this means I've got another job for you.
I've got three basket lunches here that need delivering to Finders' Bluff. After the last adventurer scarfed down three boxes on his own and ran off without paying his tab, I need someone I can trust.
//: deliver food
Deliver meals to the prospectors.
Laughing Fury
Diggin' for gold day and night sure works me up an appetite. Is it time for supper/lunch yet?
- DE Will ja nicht, dass die Erschütterungen hier 'nen Steinschlag auslösen. ‘Don't want the rumbling to set off a rockfall in here.’ English asks if it is mealtime yet; German jokes its growling stomach could set off a rockfall.
One o' Master Aeluuin's specialty basket lunches? Well, now, don't mind if I do!
Vavapu
Ah! Will my tummy not stop rumbling? Tummy! I command you! Cease your rumbling!
- DE Ich kann vor Hunger schon keinen Meißel mehr heben. ‘I'm so hungry I can't even lift a chisel anymore.’ English comically orders its tummy to stop rumbling; German says hunger leaves it unable to lift a chisel.
- JA もう、腕あがらねぇだよ～！ ‘I can't even lift my arms anymore!’ English comically orders its tummy to stop rumbling; Japanese says it can no longer lift its arms.
From Aeluuin, you say? My tummy and I are much obliged!
Ademar
Bloody hog of an adventurer, stealin' the food o' honest, hardworkin' men...
Are me eyes to be believed!? Thank ye, friend. It's good to know some adventurers can still be trusted.
- JA 俺たち皆、腹へって這いつくばったまま、エルーインさんのところへ文句言いに行ったもんさ。 ‘All of us went crawling, starving, to Aeluuin's place to complain.’ English is glad some adventurers can still be trusted; Japanese recalls crawling hungry to complain to Aeluuin.
Report to Aeluuin.
Aeluuin
Aeluuin's famous basket lunches hit the spot, eh? I thought as much! The prospectors at Finders' Bluff aren't just digging for personal fortune, you know─each onze of gold helps this region thrive and prosper. I'm happy to return the favor.
- DE Viele der Arbeiter aus Ul'dah übernachten hier im Schwimmenden Korken. ‘Many of the workers from Ul'dah stay overnight here at the Bobbing Cork.’ English says their gold helps the region prosper; German says many Ul'dahn workers lodge at the inn.
- JA 私どもは、ウルダハから来た山師の皆さんに弁当を配達する仕事もさせていただいているのです。 ‘We are also entrusted with delivering lunches to the prospectors from Ul'dah.’ English says their gold helps the region prosper; Japanese just says the inn delivers lunches to Ul'dahn prospectors.
You've gone above and beyond for me, and for this you have my thanks. Next time you fancy an ale, a tale, or just a respite from the road, know that there's always a place for you here at the Bobbing Cork.
