The Panacea

Ah, I see that familiar sparkle in your eyes. I'm guessing you're also after some fast money. That's what most people are here for. On the bottom of the sea, the desert dwellers will pay you well to do their dirty work. You can get three years pay in twelve months!

I've already finished my job here. I was working on over at the Meteorite Mines. That's one of the best places to go. Now I'm going home to my wife and kids with a whole bag of gold!

There's just one problem. I must have caught some nasty bug down in those mines. I'm coughing all over the place. Don't worry, it's not contagious and it's easily treated. Just a few sea salt crystals would fix me right up!

It's all over the desert, but right now I don't have the strength to go out and get it. Do you think you could do me a favor and bring me some? Just four pieces would fix me right up! Please - don't let my children die of hunger! They need their father! You'll help me, won't you?

Crystals! Pass them here, quickly! Ooh... that's better.
