Quest text[edit]

Famished tells you, Brobbet's beard, if it isn't <player>! Thanks again for bringing me dinner - really hit the spot, it did. Wait, you're actually a Confectioner? Well, don't that just beat all... Say, might you be interested in earnin' a wee bit of coin? I been hankerin' fer something kind of special. Had it just once, years ago, but hoo-yaa, it was somethin' else - weren't it, Bessie?

Famished tells you, It was a mess of fresh eels, sliced into bite-sized chunks and covered in some kind of spicy-hot sauce. Bessie remembers the feller what made it saying that that he got the eel from a fisherman in Kion. Maybe that fisherman knows the recipe. If you can find the recipe and whip me up, say, five servings or so, I'll make it worth your while.


Bammas tells you, Eels? Well, yes, I catch them from time to time. Most of the time I sell them to Fillet, rather than cooking them myself. Eels in hot sauce, though, that I'm not familiar with. Now, I do remember one time a few years ago when one of Estelwen's Gifted friends came to me and bought three or four good-sized eels for a party of some kind. That's the only thing that comes to mind, I'm afraid. Maybe Estelwen can tell you more.


Estelwen tells you, Eels in hot sauce? You know, I do have a recipe for something like that. A Gifted friend of mine, Diput, invented the recipe a few years ago. The dish is a little too hot for most of my clients, but dwarves seem to enjoy it a great deal. Give me a minute to make a copy for you.

Estelwen seems to be finished copying the recipe for you.

Estelwen tells you, There you are, <player>. I hope this is what you are looking for. At least it certainly sounds like the dish you were describing. Best of luck to you!


Famished tells you, Hooo-yaaa, that'll put some spring in yer britches! That's some mighty fine confectioneerin' there, <player>, I tell you what. Money well spent, this is. Speakin' of which, I have yer reward right here, and a little something extra Bessie an' I found down in the mine one day. I'm guessin' that one of your Gifted friends dropped this while exchangin' pleasantries with a golem or three. Hope it's in a way of bein' useful to ya'!
