"Now that I've obtained another gun, I'm gonna go see the wizard and get his opinion on this book I found in the tower."
Burt then goes to see the wizard he'd heard about being in the town and see what he thought about the Fruit book from the tower.
Burt finds the sorcerer Xanios in the Adventuring Company, asking him about the Fruit Folio.
Xanios examines the book, initially just glancing at the pictures and writing, but then more focusedly at the book's material essence.
"Interesting. There is still some magical residue left on this book. You say you found it in the tower? Hmm... there seems to be a small and barely noticeable magical imprint left belonging to whomever was possession of it. However, I don't specialize in arcane analysis; you may want to find someone else to look into this matter for you, it may help you to find out more about the original owner of this book."
"I was wondering if there is Side Quest Board available, because it seems we are off for Expedition tomorrow right?" She asked.
"Ah, right, that reminds me! There is a task that the Company would like for you to do while out in the forest, if it wouldn't be too much trouble. The Company is doing research on the forest, and it would be of help if you could collect various natural materials from different areas that you visit. This could include things like plant or animal matter, soil, rocks, liquids, or anything else of the natural sort that could aid us in our research. The more varied and diverse items you collect, and from more different areas, the more helpful it would be for our research. We will reward you accordingly for each delivery, depending on how helpful it is to our research." Aven says.
"Besides that, you may want to ask around the village for other possible tasks to help out with. For one, I know that the Oltwells can't find their elder son, who went missing several days ago. The family has been quite distressed since then. There are probably others too who are in need of help."
