Matras' Suspicious Request

Welcome, traveler! Would you be interested in a job, by any chance?

• Ask him for details.

I must go up to the tower of the Steel Citadel, but to do so requires passing Bate Tower. The guards there refused to let me enter. That's why I need your help...

• "How can I help you?"

I am desperate for help, true, but still not so foolish as to engage someone of your obvious inexperience. Come back to me when you are a little more seasoned! (Only characters level 76 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

All you have to do is simply draw their attention and I will take care of the rest. Although now that I think it through, it would be even better if you could, uh, get rid of them.

Do so and bring me the Red Stones that they carry. No questions! I told you I would reward you well for your trouble. In fact, if you bring 744 Red Stones, I'll give you something very special. Understand? Good -- we're agreed!

Remember, all you have to do is to get rid of whoever you find on the first and second floors of the tower. Good luck!

Thanks to your help, it has definitely already become easier for me to go in and out. You did well, my friend. Now, do you have the Red Stones I asked for?

• Show him the Red Stones.

Go do what I asked of you: get rid of the tower guards and bring me the Red Stones they carry. Hurry!

Ah, I see that you've brought me … Red Stones. What sort of reward would you like?

• "Give me what you promised for bringing you 744 stones."
• "I will go back and get some more stones."
• "I've had enough of this. Give me a reward for the stones I have brought you."

You have brought … Red Stones. I wish it were more, but it looks like you have worked hard to get these. What do you want me to do with these?

• "Give me what you promised for bringing you 744 stones."
• "I will go back and get some more stones."
• "I've had enough of this. Give me a reward for the stones I have brought you."

Here you go. I hope this will help you in your travels. Take care!

Look, I've told you many times that I need 744 Red Stones. However, you've given me only … so far. Go get some more if you expect me to reward you.

Thank you! I will not forget your help. Allow me to compensate you for your excellent work.

Good work! If I need your services again, I won't hesitate to call on you.
