Preview
Chef Hamsey, the owner of Sky's Kitchen, challenges the player to a cook-off and must gather ingredients for a recipe.

Stage 1
» Meet up with Chef Hamsey in Ahmsord.

Dialogue:
 * Chef Hamsey: Bonjour, let me take you to your seat, monsieu..mada-this way!
 * Chef Hamsey: Oh do mes yeuxs deceive me? Could it be?!
 * Chef Hamsey: Mon amie.. the novice soldier a hero! Who would have thought!
 * Chef Hamsey: Let moi explain. Je suis le (I'm the) cook from Ragni!
 * Chef Hamsey: I travelled to lands far and wide, learned techniques and made a restaurant in le sky islands.
 * Chef Hamsey: I would offer you a meal, but ce n'est pas le temps (this is not the time)!
 * Chef Hamsey: You may have mastered the art of battle, but what of the art of cuisine?
 * Chef Hamsey: Follow me into the kitchen behind me, there I will tell you more.

Stage 2
» Find Chef Hamsey in his kitchen.

Dialogue:
 * Chef Hamsey: Welcome to ma cuisine! C'est beau, non (it's beautiful, isn't it)?
 * Chef Hamsey: It may be on fire, but what is cooking without un peu de (a bit of) danger?
 * Chef Hamsey: Back to my challenge. What you must do is surpass moi in the art of cuisiner by making a dish.
 * Chef Hamsey: This will involve gathering all the ingredients you choose to use, making it n'est pas chose facile (not an easy choice)!
 * Chef Hamsey: Present it to one of my trois meilleurs (3 best) chefs of mine, and they will pass that dish onto me.
 * Chef Hamsey: If you triumph, I shall make you a chef dans mon restaurant.. Fail and never again vous cuisinerez ici (cook here)!
 * Chef Hamsey: May the culinary gods be in your faveur, aventurier.

Stage 3
» Speak to Brie for her to introduce herself.

Dialogue:
 * Brie: Heya! You must be the adventurer that Hamsey told me about. You know, he was almost ecstatic, but don't tell him I said that!
 * Brie: Usually he's not even half as cheerful as he is now, so you must be a good friend of his.
 * Brie: Oh, a cook-off? How exciting! I'll gladly help you out. Maybe this way I can prove myself a bit more to the others...?
 * Brie: Actually, nevermind that. If we work together, we can make a Zork Stew, how does that sound?
 * Brie: You need to talk to the other chefs before deciding what to make, though! Kale is the closest, so you should talk to him first I guess.

Stage 4
» Speak to Kale for him to introduce himself.

Dialogue:
 * Kale: When Hamsey told me about a good friend of his, I didn't expect... this.
 * Kale: As you can clearly see, I am the best chef in this kitchen by far! Hamsey should be the one working for me, but my tastes are far too superior to the residents of Gavel, let alone Wynn.
 * Kale: No one appreciates the finer tastes in life in current times. That reminds me, why am I talking to someone like you?
 * Kale: I saw you already talked to Brie, so the last chef that you need to talk to is Frank.
 * Kale: Frankly, you would't miss much not talking to him. What does Hamsey even see in such a lazy individual?

Stage 5
» Speak to Frank for him to introduce himself.

Dialogue:
 * Frank: How are ya? Hamsey said you're an old buddy of his, helped him while he was still in Ragni.
 * Frank: Name's Frank, good to meet you. So, ol' Hamsey roped you into a cook-off, huh? Ah, he does stuff like this all the time. You've got no idea how many days I've been in his place for these...
 * Frank: I don't have any dish in mind, but I'm sure we can come up with something if you decide to get my help.
 * Frank: Since you've talked to all three of us, you might as well talk to whoever you think suits you best. Good luck with the competition and all that.

Brie
Dialogue:
 * Brie: Heya again! So you decided to make the Zork Stew with me? Hurray!
 * Brie: Do note that it's not an easy a task as it might seem.
 * Brie: Let me explain what I said before about proving myself to the others. I'm the newest chef here at the kitchen and some of the other chefs disapprove of my ideas. This could be my chance!
 * Brie: I've been perfecting the recipe for my Zork Stew for months now and I finally have a chance to show everyone what I'm worth! Watch out though, the ingredients are quite bizarre.
 * Brie: The first one is some [Snail Slime] available on Snail Island! We only need one for this dish.
 * ''After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1003,139,-4853] to obtain [Snail Slime].
 * Brie: Next up, we need some [Voidroot], a super rare root found deep in the void. I've heard someone in the Sky Islands can take you down there!
 * ''After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [965,42,-4443] to obtain the [Voidroot].
 * Brie: Lastly, we need some Double Jerky, but to make it we need two ingredients. Both can be found in a tower owned by the self-proclaimed "Space Wizard" Astralaus.
 * Brie: We need both [Zork Rinds] and [Quicksalt], both of which should be found inside the tower! I'll be cheering you on from here!
 * ''After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1217, 126, -4929] to obtain [Zork Rinds] and [Quicksalt]

Kale
Dialogue:
 * Kale: When Hamsey told me about a good friend of his, I didn't expect... this.
 * Kale: Just get me everything we need and stay quiet, I'm not in the mood for chit-chat.
 * Kale: I don't want my reputation tarnished by the likes of you.
 * Kale: Listen up, I'm not going to say this again. Take notes.
 * Kale: The key ingredient in my amazing omelette is obviously the [Blue-Ring Grook Egg], which of course you didn't know.
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [626,43,-4645] to obtain the [Blue-Ring Grook Egg].
 * Kale: Secondly what we need is some [Snail Slime], which is at Snail Island, of course.
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1003,139,-4853] to obtain the [Snail Slime].
 * Kale: Lastly you need a [Talking Mushroom] which is found on the swamp Sky Island.
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1100,124,-4869] to obtain the [Talking Mushroom].

Frank

 * Frank: So you decided to work with me, huh? I promise I won't disappoint.
 * Frank: As I mentioned, Hamsey usually forgets he created a cook-off in the first place, so it's up to me to do the work for him. It's fine, don't get me wrong, but working with someone new is always fun.
 * Frank: Eh, can't he helped. So, what to cook, what to cook...ah, the eternal question.
 * Frank: Hm... Well, I might be a bit of a lazy guy, but when it comes to cooking, I've got the eye. I can't lie, you look like a real Skyhigh Pie kind of guy to me! Heheh.
 * Frank: You probably know the basics, right? I mean, you wouldn't just walk in here with no cooking knowledge, right?
 * Frank: Ah, don't give me that look, I'm not gonna leave you here on your own. First off, we need some [Sunrise Flour].
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1103,113,-4434] to obtain the [Sunrise Flour].
 * Frank: Then, a good sized [Blue-Ring Grook Egg]. I bet Kale would "conveniently" forget to mention this, but Ringtail Grooks tend to get a bit ferocious if you take their eggs.
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [626,43,-4645] to obtain the [Blue-Ring Grook Egg].
 * Frank: Now, we gotta shake up this pie a little bit, so how about some [Skyhigh Raspberry]? Real tasty, but it's quite the walk to get 'em. A bit of walking never hurt anybody, but I couldn't be bothered to.
 * After looking at your map, you conclude that you need to go to [1400,102,-3940] to obtain the [Skyhigh Raspberry].
 * Frank: Got all that? If you need a refresher, hit me up again. Just be sure to check your map if you get lost looking for all this stuff.

Stage 7
» Present the ingredients to your chosen chef.

Brie
Dialogue:
 * Brie: Oh my gosh, you came back! You were gone for quite a while and I started getting worried about you!
 * By heavily salting the zork rinds, you have created "double jerky". You throw it into the pot of the boiling water along with the voidroot.
 * ''Next, you put in the snail slime and stir. After letting it simmer, you notice that the void root has doubled... you carry on anyway.
 * Brie: This stew smells delicious! Remember, you made this all yourself, I just chose the ingredients! This dish definitely has a chance against Hamsey himself!

Kale
Dialogue:
 * Kale: Oh, it's you again. You got the ingredients... it's about time!
 * You use the frying pan to create an omelette infused with snail slime and topped with mushroom. The mushroom ran away before you could use all of it for the dish.
 * Kale: All you need to do is bring the dish to Hamsey's private dining area. There is an entrance ahead and to my left.
 * Kale: Since you decided to get help from clearly the best chef in the kitchen, you'll easily win against Hamsey. Thanks to me, mind you!

Frank
Dialogue:
 * Frank: Well done on getting them items, some of 'em are pretty tough to find!
 * You use the oven to bake a simple egg and flour dough filled with Skyhigh Raspberries. Smells like... pie?
 * Frank: Go on ahead into Hamsey's private dining area, over there to my left. Good luck.

Stage 8
» Present your dish to Chef Hamsey.

Brie's Dish
Dialogue:
 * Chef Hamsey: Welcome back, mon ami (my friend)! I see you've return with a dish in hand!
 * Chef Hamsey: A stew? Seems simple, but even the simplest things in life can be some of the best.
 * You barely take your first bite into Chef Hamsey's dish before it melts in your mouth... Will the stew manage to match Hamsey's skills?
 * Chef Hamsey: Adventurer, are you sure you made this dish? It is so good I might as well close the restaurant!
 * Chef Hamsey: You never fail to surprise me, friend. Here, take this apron, an essential of any true chef.

Kale's Dish
Dialogue:
 * Chef Hamsey: I cannot help but notice that your dish is ready!
 * Chef Hamsey: Let me taste your dish and I will present you mine! Mon dieu(my god), une omelette?
 * You barely take your first bite into Chef Hamsey's dish before it melts in your mouth... Will the omelette manage to match Hamsey's skills?
 * Chef Hamsey: Je suis déçu, ami (I am disappointed, friend). I would prefer biting into a mule derrière (mule behind)! This thing... a Gert wouldn't touch it!
 * Chef Hamsey: I see you haven't improved in the art of cuisine. Leave me be, and come back when you find that you've improved.

Frank's Dish
Dialogue:
 * Chef Hamsey: I see you've returned, and not empty handed. Please, show me what you've created!
 * Chef Hamsey: A pie? Why, you must have been helped by Frank. He always has a thing for making pie!
 * You barely take your first bite into Chef Hamsey's dish before it melts in your mouth... Will the pie manage to match Hamsey's skills?
