'As I was assembling the recipe, the pleasing aroma of all the ingredients married in complete harmony. I am certain this is the fare I should deliver to the Epicureans of Umbar. Alas, I cannot be the sole determinant.
'<name>, I again ask you to aid me in determining if the dish is complete.
'To the south-east of the city proper, there is an encampment of scholars, adventurers, and hunters. They are representative of the many wealthy patrons in the city.
'Deliver this latest dish to them and return to me with their thoughts on the recipe.'
Background
Keteph, again, assembles his new recipe into sacks to deliver to others for testing. This time, he hopes the dish will meet the needs of the aristocrats who enjoy his creations.
Objective 1
- Deliver Keteph's latest recipe to Zerkho at the Expedition Camp
- Deliver Keteph's latest recipe to Dorshet at the Expedition Camp
- Deliver Keteph's newest recipe to Karbah at the Expedition Camp
- Deliver Keteph's new recipe to Mallax at the Expedition Camp
- Deliver Keteph's latest recipe to Delona at the Expedition Camp
- Keteph's Next Test Dish
Keteph asked that you take his deliveries to the scholars and artisans keeping busy at the expedition camp to the south-east of Umbar Baharbêl. Most are employees of the aristocrats who will be the final arbiters of his latest creation.
- Keteph: 'Make your way to the hunter's expedition south-east out of Umbar. Deliver my new dish and return to me with the responses.'
- Zerkho: Zerkho unwraps the satchel and sniffs the contents. He takes a moment.
- 'Aromatic.'
- He bites into the bread and crab. He chews and swallows.
- 'This is exquisite. The crab is tender and moist. The bread is firm enough to hold the thinly sliced vegetables and saffron aioli. I have not eaten anything this delicious in some time.'
- Zerkho enjoyed the recipe very much
- Dorshet: Dorshet unwraps your delivery and lifts the bread from the top.
- 'It looks much like our wraps, only the bread is leavened and filled on the bottom.'
- She covers the crab and aioli and takes a bite. A smile spreads as she chews.
- 'This is a very enjoyable dish. I am very pleased that you shared this with me.'
- Dorshet enjoyed the new recipe very much
- Karbah: Karbah looks at Keteph's new dish.
- 'It looks different than anything I have eaten before.'
- She takes the food up and takes a small bite. She chews and smiles. She then takes a larger bite.
- 'This is very good. I am pleased. I shall enjoy this as I finish it. Thank you for sharing.'
- Karbah thoroughly enjoyed the new dish
- Mallax: Mallax looks the item over.
- 'It appears plain. Nothing like the lavish dishes my patron is fond of consuming, but the aromatics are good.'
- He takes the food up and bites into it. A glimmer of joy passes through his eyes.
- 'I am mistaken. This is a dish worthy of my patron and many others in Umbar. Thank you.'
- Mallax found the new recipe delicious
- Delona: Delona looks the food over and takes a bite. She smiles as she places it back down.
- 'I could tell just by the weight and the smell that this would be delicious. It does not disappoint.
- 'The flavours are complex and balanced. The crunch of the vegetables and the succulence of the crab are perfect.
- 'This is a masterpiece.'
- Delona greatly enjoyed the new recipe
Objective 2
You received nothing but goodwill and words of encouragement from the denizens of the expedition camp. It appears that Keteph's recipe is complete. Return to him at the Swain's Guild-hall in Umbar Baharbêl.
- Keteph: He listens intently, as you speak. When you finish explaining the responses, he nods and claps his hands.
- 'It is as I expected. Very good. I took the liberty of preparing the final version of the dish while you were abroad. One final step now.'
