Me and this here Traveler I serve got somethin' to ask ya. ### Step 5 - **Reward**: Ask me something...? Actually, I have many questions myself. ### Step 6 - **Objective**: We heard you lost your child. - **Summary**: What...? Have you seen our Gaettong? Where is he? Is he okay?! No no, that ain't what we're here for. We're just hankerin' to hear what ya got to say. Maybe we can lend a hand. Ah... I see. Gaettong... *sighs*... But... Who are you, and why are you looking for our Gaettong? ### Step 7 - **Reward**: Well, let me tell ya, this person right here is the finest problem-solver in this land! Y'all don't need to fret! ### Step 8 - **Objective**: Could you tell us what happened? - **Summary**: A problem-solver... Do you find missing people too? *Sighs* ...Alright. I'm desperate enough to try anything. Gaettong was just a child who loved the mountains. He would climb up there and play every day. That day, like any other, he went up the mountain, but he didn't come back by nightfall, nor the next morning, nor the day after. ### Step 9 - **Reward**: Everyone, including his father and the villagers searched for him, but... we still haven't found him... *sobs* ### Step 10 - **Objective**: There's rumors of the Samsin Tree taking children... - **Summary**: *Sobs* ...Goddess Samsin is...? Why? Why—that's right! Only the children born after fervent prayers have disappeared! After giving us such precious love, if you were going to take them back, you should have taken my life instead!! Why him! Why! Bless your heart... That's just plain heart-wrenchin'. Those young'uns were real precious. Why's this happenin'? ### Step 11 - **Reward**: Even when we report it, the constables just tell us to wait! But when it's time to collect taxes, they come right on time! ### Step 12 - **Objective**: No other evidence? - **Summary**: ...What evidence could there be? After all, it's just a tree... But the mothers said that as the children grew... The tree also seemed to grow rapidly, unlike other trees... Huh...? It can't be... It can't be... that the tree is really eating... The tree grows while the kids vanish? Now that's a head-scratcher... Anythin' else ya got? ### Step 13 - **Objective**: What's going on? - **Summary**: My son... Gaettong... Gaettong... Oh, Gaettong! I don't regret spending a single coin, not one bit! Sakes alive! That's mighty lucky. But how'd ya find your boy? The villagers each chipped in a bit and hired a skilled bounty hunter! ### Step 14 - **Objective**: A bounty hunter found the children? - **Summary**: Hold up... Ain't bounty hunters supposed to catch runaway servants? A bounty hunter found your young'uns? Yes? Well... Somehow they knew our situation and they came offering to help find our kids. They charged quite a bit, but they said they'd lower the fee if we cursed Goddess Samsin! You kiddin' me? Lower the fee for cursin' the Goddess? That's slimier than a barrel of snakes! ### Step 15 - **Objective**: Let's track down those bounty hunters. - **Summary**: Yup, I was just fixin' to say that. Guess we're thinkin' alike, huh? ### Step 16 - **Reward**: Ugh... Urrgh... ### Step 17 - **Reward**: No, it can't be. Why would the Samsin Tree take my child? Gaettong must have just lost his way... he's lost, that's all... ### Step 18 - **Reward**: We were grasping at straws, but my god, we should have done it sooner! ### Step 19 - **Reward**: Oh!... My goodness... My child!! Thank the Gods! ### Step 20 - **Reward**: Yeah, somethin' definitely smells fishy here. Don't ya think, Traveler? Why lower a fee just for badmouthin' the goddess? ### Step 21 - **Reward**: ...We haven't been digging into this for long. But everything's falling into place too easily, don't you think? ### Step 22 - **Reward**: The bounty hunters ain't from 'round here. They're probably kickin' back at the tavern by now, right? ### Step 23 - **Reward**: Let's check it out ourselves. We gotta figure out why these tales are sproutin' like weeds.
