Dialogue

A warm welcome to the abode of fiscal security. / Ah, a potential client! / Ah, a promising prospect for our financial services. / Hello! Ready to secure your assets? / Stupendous! Another customer. / Welcome, good Sir/Madam. / Welcome to Leitana's Bank, valued customer.

I am Oswald, your trusted representative of Leitana's bank here in Goldenfield. A name you can bank on!

My family has held the financial reins for generations, and I'm here to offer you the same reliable banking services.

I'm here to keep your valuables secure and your financial worries at bay. And I guarantee, no storage bot can match the personal touch I offer!

Nearly everyone in Goldenfield avails of my services and in the process, I've become privy to many intriguing tales and colorful characters.

The constant influx of newcomers from the portal brings a plethora of fascinating stories.

Just recently, a flying contraption crash-landed in the forest. People reported seeing a pillar of smoke north^[sic] from the center of Westwind Woods.*

Do tread carefully if you find yourself heading that way.

Being a banker in Kwalat is not easy, I assure you. I mean, this ain't exactly Wall Street.

With the portals spewing inter-universe travellers left and right, my job's become more like babysitting than banking.

But I persevere, because the people of Goldenfield rely on me. And no damn storage bot is gonna change that!

Goldenfield, ah, a charming town indeed. A cornucopia of goods from different realities, all in one place.

Don't forget to visit our legendary wheat fields. They stretch as far as the eye can see.

The golden waves of grain under the Kwalat sun is a sight to behold.

Ever met the cemetary caretaker, a master in Mysticism? You can find him north from here.

If you head west from here and take a right before the pumpkin field, you'll find a workshop at the end of the road.

That's where the Weaponsmith and Constructor ply their trade.

I offer my services to many residents and have gotten to know quite a few fascinating individuals.

Goldenfield is truly a hub of diverse personalities.

As I mentioned, north of here, across the field, you'll find a graveyard. Its keeper, Mortimer, is quite the character. Plus, he's a master of Misticism^[sic].

If you head west and turn right in front of the pumpkin field, at the end of the road you'll stumble upon a workshop run by a Weaponsmith and Constructor.

In the town center, there's a cheerful fellow named Percy. He claims to teach Alchemy, though the effectiveness of his lessons is debatable.

Southwest of Percy, across the road, there's a wonderful woman, Martha Potterson. She runs a Welfare Kitchen for new arrivals and teaches cooking basics.

I really should ask her out one of these days.

If you follow the western road and turn left behind the robot-cultivated field, you'll meet two 'friends' - the Lumberjack and the Miner.

On the east road after a watermelon field with a water tower, turn right, and you'll find a Butcher and a Herbalist.

So you see, this small town has everything you need for a comfortable life.

Spend some time here, and you might find yourself wanting to register your Returner in this bustling hub.

[If not accepted Secure the Assets]

Yes, there's a matter of urgency that needs addressing.

I received a disturbing tip that some outworlder bandits plan to rob our bank. I can't let that happen.

You aren't one of them... are you? Hmmm...

Nevertheless, I want to reinforce the bank's vault. For that, I need strong metallic alloys.

Prove you aren't part of the heist. Bring me Iron Ingots and Reinforced Planks from the resources around Kwalat.

[Secure the Assets]

You're... appreciated. I'll be waiting for those materials.

[If accepted Secure the Assets]

[If accepted Secure the Assets]

Please hurry with those materials. We can't afford to waste time. / Any luck finding the Iron Ingots and Reinforced Planks? / Remember, the safety of our bank depends on you.

[If completed Secure the Assets]

Wow - I thought perhaps you were just here to scope out our vault.

Perhaps we will reconsider our policy on outworlder accounts.

And here, a reward - perhaps you'll consider banking it with us.
