	Magnus: *He doesn't look up from his ledger.*
		Father Jonas. Twin Rocks. Church of the New Beginning.
		*A pause.*
		And a word of advice - avoid mentioning you work for the Institute. The Church has... opinions about scientific inquiry. [#end]

	Magnus: *He examines the journal one more time, then sets it carefully on his desk.*
		Here's the situation. Some time ago, Father Jonas in Twin Rocks did me a considerable favor.
		*His tone becomes more businesslike.*
		I don't like being in debt. Complicates relationships. So you're going to settle that debt for me.
	Magnus: Travel to Twin Rocks, meet with Father Jonas at the Church of the New Beginning. Tell him Magnus sent you to repay the favor. He'll have work for you - likely a few tasks.
		*He leans back in his chair.*
		Complete whatever he asks, and we're square. Then you get your translation.
	Magnus: *His expression is unreadable.*
		Some prices are paid long after the purchase. Today, you're settling an old account.
		*A pause.*
		The Church runs Twin Rocks. Water purification, governance, law. Treat Father Jonas with appropriate respect. He's not a man to cross.

		Magnus: [quest: accepted] [#end]
			Smart choice. Good luck.
	else:
		Magnus: [quest: declined] [#end]
			*His expression cools.*
			Your choice. But without the favor, there's no translation. Think it over.

Father Jonas: *A tall man in his early fifties stands before the altar, his imposing frame wrapped in deep blue-gray Church robes adorned with water droplet symbols. Graying dark hair is cut severely short, and a simple black patch covers his missing right eye. Despite the religious setting, his bearing is unmistakably military.*

	Father Jonas: *He turns as you approach, his single eye assessing you with measured attention.*
		Welcome to Twin Rocks. State your purpose here.
	- Magnus Fairwinshall sent me to settle his debt
		Father Jonas: You carry Magnus's obligation. Good. He maintains his word when others would not. [#complete_quest]
			*He gestures with controlled precision.*
			I am Father Jonas, High Inquisitor of the Church of the New Beginning. Magnus's favor was considerable in scope. Your labor will settle the account between us.
		Father Jonas: Are you prepared to begin the work?
		- Yes
			Father Jonas: [#load_quest=0bed7d0f-82fe-4140-926a-e792ab0c40d5]
		- Not yet
			Father Jonas: Return when you are ready to fulfill this obligation. But do not delay unnecessarily - debts grow heavier with time. [#end]

	Father Jonas: *He's arranging candles before the altar with precise, measured movements. Each placement deliberate and ritualistic.* [#end]
		*He senses your presence and turns, his single eye studying you with calm assessment.*
		Welcome, traveler. You stand in the house of God's mercy and judgment both.
		*He raises one hand in formal blessing.*
		May His waters cleanse your path and His light guide you through the wasteland's persistent darkness.
		*He returns to his work, the gesture clearly dismissing you.*
		Go in peace.
