Briefing
Larai Grupa Vitto:
 * We of the Larai syndicate are in the business of protection and security. You must help us with this business.


 * The Merchants of Staal pay to us a small stipend to protect them. Some of them are foolish enough to refuse to pay. This is bad for business. Sometimes the using of force becomes necessary.


 * Pay a visit to the Merchants who refuse to pay and convice them that it is in their best interest to do so. Return with their payments, or do not return at all.


 * Do this, and the Larai Token is yours!

Collect Bunko's payment
Merchant Bunko:
 * You are collecting money for the Larai? But... you are not Brann! Why should Bunko be paying money to you?


 * Wait... Bunko has heard the tales of you! You are always making with the Logos, yes? They say you are powerful.


 * Bunko is reviewing the situation and is now thinking it is not wise to wake a sleeping Magmonix. Bunko will pay you. Perhaps you will be spending some money at Bunko's shop, yes?

Collect Cugin's payment
Merchant Cugin:
 * So, the Grupa has a human doing his dirty workings? He must be getting desperate, I think.


 * This may seem like a small sum, but it is all of my earnings for three full days. They say that the Labbna are thieves, but it is the Larai who steal, I think. And if I refuse, their Enforcers will break my legs!


 * Take your money. Tell the Grupa I am hoping that he will choke on it!

Collect Vargo's payment
Merchant Vargo:
 * I do not think I will be giving you money on this day. In fact, I do not think I will be giving you money on ANY day.


 * But you do not look like someone who will be taking "no" for an answer. So I think I will let my "pet" convince you to leave my place of business.


 * Roscoe! We have a visitor in need of the teaching of a lesson!

Collect Vargo's money
Merchant Vargo:
 * You son of a Barb Tick! You killed my Roscoe! You will burn in the pits of Ollj, by the Gods!


 * Take your money and leave me to my sorrow.

Collect Yeg's payment
Merchant Yeg:
 * I have heard that you are collecting for the Grupa. I have your money ready. I want no trouble in my shop!

Debriefing
Larai Grupa Vitto:
 * I hear the jingling of coins in your pocket. Your tenacity surprises and amuses me, Earther. But Grupa Vitto is a man of his word!


 * Take this Token of the Larai syndicate and carry it with pride.

All merchants are located in the Staal Centrum. Only Vargo will refuse to pay and will order his pet Flare Gasher to attack you. This is an easy fight and you will be getting help from the surrounding guards as well. After the Flare Gasher is dead you can easily collect the money from Vargo and your mission is complete.
