{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|Here's Cid. Reckon you might be just the man to help me out of a bit of a bother, if you've a mind to}}
{{Loremquote|Clive|link=|noquest=|Let's hear it.}}
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|Well, it's about this alembic the chief's got me making.
----
Lovely bit of kit, it is. Bung in a solution you want splitting and it'll separate it out{{emdash}}just like that!
----
Problem is, it won't always get rid of all the impurties{{emdash}}and with some of the stuff we need it for, that en't good enough.
----
Which is why I've been looking for something to filter the liquid we'll be cooking off... and that's where I was hoping you could hep me out...?}}

*Help Owain with the alembic?
- I don't have the time.
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|Ah... Bugger...}}

-Why not?
{{Loremquote|Clive|link=|noquest=|I imagine Tarja could get some use out of this alembic too{{emdash}}distilling medicines and the like. Alright, why not?}}
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|Proper job!}}
{{Loremquote|Clive|link=|noquest=|So what exactly do you need for this filter? }}
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|"Nothing but bomb ash'll do!" Says the chief.
----
Gave me a sample she'd ''obtained'' from the university stores. Couldn't believe my eyes!
----
You pour the blackest Blightwater through it, and it comes out clear as a mountain stream!
----
So I did a bit of reading about where I might be able to get hold of some.
----
And d'you know what I found out? It's only the blimmin' bones of a bomb king! They leave them behind when they die, see.}}
{{Loremquote|Clive|link=|noquest=|I take it that's where I come in?}}
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|If you wouldn't mind...
----
I saw a billet on the Hunt Board for one just the other day.
----
Would have gone myself, but, well... fighting dirty great balls of flame en't exactly my forte. You, on the other hand...}}
{{Loremquote|Clive|link=|noquest=|Alright. I'll see what I can do.}}
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|Thanks you kindly. And good Hunting, eh?}}

=Quest Accepted
{{Loremquote|Owain|link=|noquest=|I've tried to find a supplier for this stuff, but it's rare as chocobo's teeth. Either ''someone'' brings down a bomb king and picks up the ash, or...
----
I don't know... we wait for one to snuff it of old age?}}
