For us Huppermages, life hasn't been easy. There was a time when we were no longer welcome among the people of the World of Twelve... I had to go into exile for a long time. Luckily, that time has passed. We are back, and we intend to fulfill our role. There's so much to do!
Now that's a commendable attitude, (character name). Thanks to disciples like you, I have no doubt we'll succeed in taking back our rightful place! Since I've been here, I haven't had a minute to myself. I have to organise the young recruits' arrival. I've been increasing contacts with members of the Council of Astrub. I'm also supplying Huppermage Island with merchandise from the City of Mercenaries or Amakna Village... but anyone watching would thing I'm screwing it all up.
Well, I keep receiving things I never ordered. Someone just delivered a load of anvils, whereas I ordered Copper Cauldrons! And yet the message I sent via carrier tofu was quite clear...
If you've got a bit of time, I'd owe you a favour if you could go to the forge in Astrub to find out what happened. I can't leave my post, I don't want the Huppermages arriving from Incarnam to be released into the wild prior to seeing me.

Step 1: The Words Fly Away, the Bitter Ones Stay[]
- Hazel can't understand why some Anvils were delivered instead of the Cauldrons she ordered. She's asked you to conduct an inquiry.
- Talk to a smith who is responsible for deliveries [7,-16]
- Talk to Latem Sa inside the building.

Hi, I'm just a young apprentice... If you want to know more about our art, go and see Two-Fingers.
Yes, is there a problem? And yet I properly checked the delivery before it was sent. Ten anvils at one time - I can't say it's a very typical request, so I made sure there was right number. It was damned heavy, I thought I was going to strain my back!
Sorry? That's not true, she sent a carrier tofu to tell us what she wanted. If you don't believe me, the bird's still here. He seems a bit lacklustre, but he managed to send his message.
|
- Listen to the Drowsy Tofu's message
- You need to talk to the SleepingDrowsy Tofu in the bottom corner.

|
*gives you a tired look*
Zzzz... PWAAK! *opens its beak and chirps Hazel's voice* "Tweeet! Hazel Ementree needs ten anvils as a matter of urgency! The payment will be billed to the Huppermages of the Temple of Equilibrium. Tweeet!"

- Take 1 Drowsy Tofu to Hazel Ementree [6,-17]

After having spent years in solitude, here I find myself here in Astrub again. It's a radical change, but it's not displeasing... I was starting to get very bored, cooped up in my decrepit old tower.
That looks like the bird I sent, albeit rather flatter... *listens to the tofu's message* By the Scales of Balance! It's my voice alright, but I never said that! Yet I'm sure I pronounced the memorisation incantation correctly... Has Abrazelon given me Tofus with elocution problems? They were supposed to be highly reliable, he staked his name on it!
*looks under the Tofu's right wing* The Signature Rune hasn't been altered... Nothing to explain what's gone wrong. Oh oh. I've just remembered... I sent a Tofu to the Council Tower less than ten minutes ago. If it tells Arky a load of rubbish, I'm likely to get in trouble!
|
- Avoid a diplomatic incident [0,22]
- Go inside the Council Tower (door on the left) and talk to Adviser Arky

|
Did you wipe your feet properly before coming in? And that crusty, muddy outfit... Do you really think it's appropriate? Stay in the entryway and make sure you don't touch anything with those dirty fingers.
No, but I was about to. If you don't mind... *pulls the Tofu's wing to make it speak* "Tweeet! Message from Hazel Ementree: Arky, you're s..."
|
- You will enter a fight with a level 12 Carrier Tofu with 170 hp.
- Talk to Adviser Arky
| Dialog |
|---|
|
What's wrong with you? Are you bonkers? Do you go bananas whenever you come across a little yellow bird? You brute! I should have you thrown in Igor Ant's jail!
Really? And what is the message?
Something's probably being hidden behind all this flattery... but Hazel will have to wait her turn for a meeting with Fallanstar. There are no special favours with me. Poor little tofu, you've gotten it in a right state! Abrazelon won't be happy seeing you mistreat his birds like that, after he raised with such patience. You should go and apologise to him, it's the least you can do.
|
- Talk to Abrazelon Sixgriffe [2,-15]
| Dialog |

I'm very busy... I train my Tofus to go underground, and it's not an easy task.
My sniffer Tofus are off-colour because of the Enutrofs... there's a chill in the air in the tunnels, but I suspect it's something else.
No, they're in great shape. Why, has one of them started sneezing?
I'd be surprised. My Tofus have excellent memory, and they repeat what they've heard to perfection. Are you looking to damage my reputation by spreading false rumours? Do you want to feel my whip?
By the Celestial Tamer? Have seen the state he's in? Obviously, if you jump over him with your feet together, he won't work nearly as well! *pulls the yellow bird's wing and listens to the message* Whoa! Hazel doesn't mince words. The adviser must not have appreciated hearing that... Hmm, what's this double tweeting? Wait a second. *pulls the left foot and lifts the right wing*
This Tofu has two different messages... the first one has been replaced by a second version. This one hasn't been memorised using a spell because the signature rune is intact. I know only one way this can be achieved...
If you want my opinion, a Whisperer is trying to sow discord. Those little creatures can be a real nuisance... you'd better warn Hazel.

After having spent years in solitude, here I find myself here in Astrub again. It's a radical change, but it's not displeasing... I was starting to get very bored, cooped up in my decrepit old tower.
Name of a Kilibriss! This is Whudas's Work! That traitor, that double-crosser! And I thought he'd quietly gone back to the island... I should have suspected he wouldn't put up with being ousted.
He's the official messenger who was assigned to me by the Huppermages of Rok Island. Normally, Whisperers are slightly mischievous but loyal creatures, who pride themselves on delivering their messages with diligence. Whudas never listened to anybody else, and forgot half of the information he was supposed to repeat. So I decided to get rid of him, and turned to Abrazelon's Carrier Tofus.
Whisperers can charm simple-minded creatures by murmuring in their ears. Whudas must have done that to modify the content of my messages. He'll get what's coming to him... but before that, we need to stop him.
*looks in her bag and takes out a wooden pipe* You're going to find Whudas and make a deal with him: if he stops his childish behaviour, he can keep this bubble pipe. Like all his fellow creatures, Whudas is fascinated by this sort of item. He spends his time blowing smoke rings, he says it's a fleeting art.
I have an idea where to look. Back when he was working for me, Whudas loved having a nap in bales of hay. I think he's hiding near the fields... Go down there and use the pipe to get him out of his hole. He's very curious; I'm sure the soapy bubbles will get his attention.

Hey! Is it you who's blowing bubbles? That looks fun... Give me your pipe so I can have a go!
I'll do what I like! Rockette, deal with this sad person... but don't break the pipe, settle for breaking a few bones to prevent a timely escape.
|
- Defeat 1 Rockette in a single fight
- Talk to Whudas
| Dialog |

|
Ok ok, I got it! A rolling stone gathers no moss, and you're the type who can get cross. Message received, 10 out of 10!
I was murmuring sweet words to them, and Rockette fell under my spell... Poor thing, you turned her to dust! It'll take some time for her to get built up again.
That old woman never did have a sense of humour... she made me work more than one hour a day, I couldn't take it any more!
Ok ok, I yield! I promise to watch my step... the other Whisperers will be jealous when they see me blowing bubbles bigger than an obese tofu!

That's a relief... That's one less problem to solve! Thanks for your help, (name of the character). You managed to subdue a stubborn Whisperer. That's not a feat that all Huppermages can accomplish!
Before going about your business, you should know that Adviser Arky is expecting you. I think she wants to introduce you to someone.
