Dialog
I'm so grateful, your character. You saved the most important work of my life and retrieved enough material so I can reestablish my laboratory!
With a little spit and polish this cabin could serve as a temporary lab, at least until I can find new quarters.
It's all thanks to you.
Ask Quest Accept
I have one more task for you...if you're willing. I hope I'm not asking too much.
It's not a difficult job but you'd have to make a very long journey. May I rely on you one more time?
Quest Accept 1
I need to borrow a book from Pandaemonium.
The Alchemy Master at the Temple of Artisans in Honir has an extensive library. I'd like to borrow the revised edition of "The New Materials for Alchemy."
Mention my name and he should give you the book without trouble. Will you go for me?
Quest Refuse 1
I'd go myself, but I can't leave my research materials and medicines here without a guard.
Can I say nothing to persuade you?
Dialog
Azphelumbra, your class. If you've got business with me, be quick about it. The battle in Reshanta grows more heated each day and I receive constant requests for medicine.
Other craftsmen do some of the work, but I make the most important medicines myself.
What do you want?
Dialog
Oh...Kistig...I heard about his lab. Terrible shame. He hasn't lost his passion for research, though? Good news indeed.
I see he wants the revised edition of "The New Materials for Alchemy." I'd like to help him, but Moreinen has the book right now.
She's in the Temple of Knowledge. I'm sure she'll give you the book since it's for Kistig.
Dialog
Welcome...your character, is it?
What brings you here?
Dialog
Ah, Kistig sent you to borrow the revised edition of "The New Materials for Alchemy," yes?
I should give him the book.
I...uh...I needed a particular medicine. Honir's been so busy I thought I'd try my hand at making it myself. It's been years, though, since I mixed potions and cures--I'm not very good at it anymore.
Here, take the book.
Dialog
Have you been to Pandaemonium already? You work quickly!
Did you get the revised edition of "The New Materials for Alchemy"?
And how was Honir?
Dialog
You haven't left for Pandaemonium yet.
I need the book to classify and organize the research materials and medicines you retrieved for me.
I know you're helping me. I shouldn't nag you, but I need it as soon as possible.
Reward
Ah...new classifications.... Hm... New formulae.... Oh, the new medicines I can make!
Oh, dear! I haven't even thanked you. I appreciate the work you've done for me. I should compensate you. Hmm... what would be fitting?
How about a rare Alchemy recipe? Something special that I invented myself. Or I can give you Kinah if you prefer.
Summary
Complete

You went to Pandaemonium and asked Alchemy Master Honir to lend you the book, but Moreinen had already borrowed it.
You met with Moreinen and explained Kistig's situation. Moreinen lent you the book without protest.
