Thanks to you we have Tipolid Hip meat for the villagers, but I'm worried about old Margarro. He's doing poorly. The Tipolid hip meat is too tough for Margarro--he's practically toothless.

• "They taste just like Qooqoo."

Daeva. Will you do something, not for me but for Margarro?

He can eat fish even if he doesn't have teeth. The Pleuro in the brook are good for restoring energy and so tender a baby could eat them.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Sure. It’ll be a nice break from all that fighting, don’t you think? Perhaps if I help Margarro, it’ll get Centurion Asclepius off my back.

That centurion is always fussing about one blasted thing after another! I’m doing my best not to cause any problems.

I wish I could be transferred out of this desert to Sanctum!

Ahem, enough of that. Please fetch me 12 Pleuro.

• "Fishing in the desert. That's new."

Beramones asked you to catch some fish for the old man in the village.

The villagers were grateful for the meat. They asked me to pass along their thanks to you.

It really cut me to the quick to see Margarro go hungry.

• "Here--he'll not go hungry tonight."

Where's the Pleuro? Do you even know how to fish?

If you go down past the village a little way, the Pleuro are thick in the brook. You cannot fail.

• "I'll try again."

Wow, these must be fresh. They're still jumping!

I'll use one to make a broth for Margarro. If it helps him recover, he may be able to eat something more substantial.

Thank you so much. I'm rather fond of that old man.

Beramones needed some tender food for Margarro, an old man in the village, who is almost toothless.

You went down past the village to the brook, caught Pleuro, and brought them to him.
