Oh, hey.

(There seems to be more hustle and bustle at the Mercenary Outpost than usual.)

Finally you show up!. Didn't I tell you to show up early
because we're cleaning the Mercenary Outpost today?

No. Actually, you didn't.

What?!

(Ceara crosses her arms and snickers.)
You never even made it back to the Outpost last night.

You were so drunk, you couldn't tell the difference
between a woman and a tree! Notice how your lips are chapped?

(He says nothing for a moment, then shouts orders.)
All right, Blades! Start cleaning!

Hey, whoever just said that, come over here and give me a hand.

Hey, <Fiona>! You go!

Come on, <Fiona>! Don't just stand there.
Let's move this away from the wall.

On the count of three.
One...two...three! Heave!

(Ceara coughs wildly and backs away.)
So dusty!

Is it? I didn't notice.

You don't notice a lot of things. Why don't you just take off that
helmet for once? Oh...? What is that?

What are you talking about?

Is that armor?

Hmm... It looks like armor, but it's severely damaged. And there's a
blood stain on it...

Doesn't appear to be human blood. Fomor blood, perhaps?

What is a set of Broken Armor stained with Fomorion blood doing
here? Think maybe it's cursed?

That armor belongs to an Elite Commander.

An elite what?

There was once a rank known as Elite Commander in the
Royal Army. It was a position higher than mine.

That rank no longer exists. I wonder what that armor's doing
here...

Now, less talk and more cleaning.

Yes, sir!

....

<Fiona>, get that armor out of the way. Doubt anyone will
come back for it, so why don't you get it restored and use it?

Ferghus can handle that for you. I'll have it sent over.

I got the armor, and judging from the kinks and dents,
Well, it shouldn't be too hard of a job, but it's got

Fomorian blood on it.
Gotta get rid of the stain, so bring me some Fomorian

blood to get rid of it.
Sounds strange, I know, but that's how it's done.

Ah, you're back.

You weren't able to find any Fomorian Blood?
Well, I can't do much without it.

I won't charge you for the restoration, but I need that blood.

Ah, you're back.

Here, take this.

Fortunately, the blood didn't get on the
Elite Commander Helmet.

The other pieces might take awhile, though. So, you bring the
Fomorian Blood?

Good. Leave it to me.

(You ask if he knows anything about the armor's owner.)

Not a clue. Judging from the damage, I'd say the
owner's still alive. Wouldn't I love to meet him!

By the way, the Elite Commander Leg Armor needed some
sewing work done, so I took it to Clodagh.

You can pick it up at the General Store.

Oh, another visitor! Come in!
Yes, I have the Elite Commander Leg Armor.

I've been working on it, but there's one part that
just won't cooperate.

The leather on the belt is too worn out!
My materials here can't fix it.

Do you think you can find something that can help?

Wow, back so soon?

Yes, this will work! But guess what? I already repaired it!
Sorry! Guess I just underestimated myself!

(Clodagh laughs.)
Look, isn't it as good as new? It's yours!

(You ask her if you know who the armor belongs to.)

Come to think of it, this might be the armor my brother
once mentioned.

That armor belonged to one of his idols.
I've never seen it in person, though.

I'll ask him next time he visits...if I remember!
Hehe, see you later!

Are you leaving?
Before you leave, could you do me a favor?

(Fenella looks completely frazzled.)
I looked everywhere this morning, but no luck.

I might have left it in Ainle...
Could you go to Ainle and find it for me?

(Fenella leaves in a daze before you can question her further.)

Please, I'm begging you. Go to Blood Prince and find me the item I
lost.

[After completing Blood Prince the above changes to "Tell Fenella that you have returned from Battle Quest Blood Prince."]

I'm sorry! I forgot I had hidden it somewhere in the store.
Oh, I made you go all the way over there for nothing.

Well, here's a little something for your effort.
Oh, wait... Where did it go?

It's right here...

I'm so darn forgetful these days. But...didn't I have two?
They were a set, right?

Anyways, I'm sorry I wasted your precious time, dear.
I'll try to be a little more mindful. Take care!

(Fenella keeps mumbling to herself. She never even told you what she was looking for.)

You're here for the Elite Commander Chestpiece?
I'm sorry to tell you this, but Brynn has it.

I had to leave it with him. Don't ask why.
Just get it from him.

But before you do, go to Prairie Entrance
and find a Suspicious Potion.

You'll need it to get the item. Don't ask why.
Just take my word on it.

Why are you here? Didn't Ferghus ask you to deliver something to
me?

How nice of you to come so soon. If you have something for me,
hand it over and leave me alone.

Ah, the Suspicious Potion.
Thank you.

That's the payment Ferghus promised me for removing the
lingering magic on your Elite Commander Chestpiece.

If you have a problem with that,
take it up with him.

(You ask Brynn if he knows who the armor's previous

owner was. He shrugs.)
I neither know nor care to know.

If you found the item in the Mercenary Outpost,
why not ask there? How would I possibly know?

If that's all, please leave me be.

Rookie! Where have you been? Don't think you can get out of
cleaning!

Whew, I'm glad you're here. All day I've been scrubbing
like mad at this spot where the Fomorian blood is.

But I can't get rid of it with this raggedy cloth.

Could you go to Prairie Gnoll
and get me a Gnoll Cloth?

There're [sic] supposed to be great at removing blood stains.

You haven't done any cleaning, so pick up some slack.

You're one to talk, Gallagher. You've cleaned your nostrils
more than you've cleaned the room!

(Ceara mocks him with a nose-picking gesture.)

What! You must be blind, woman!
I've been cleaning so hard that my back aches.

I'm taking a little break, that's all.

Sure...

(Gallagher snarls.)

Enough, both of you!

....

....

<Fiona>, do as Ceara asked. You did take a while with that armor, so
be quick this time.

I'm almost done. Just need to need to [sic] use one last layer of polish.
Not bad, huh?

Hey, you have it?

Great! This spot better come out now. Thanks!

Well done.
Things are slowly but surely coming together.

(You ask him about the owner of the armor
and he just shrugs.)

Why don't you just let it go?
By the way, take these boots.

Ferghus brought them over, probably got them
mixed up with mine.

(Aodhan turns to the group.)
Job well done, Blades! You are dismissed for today.

Get some much-needed rest!
