has anyone completed this quest.

the quest starts off in the salt shaker (next to the pepper pot)
on the ground floor flat there is a family of agateans. The children are named ichi, ni, san .... i.e. japanese numbers

for example if you say
'sayto ichi one'
then they give off a load of babble in agatean. My agatean is not good enough to understand what they are saying but i get bits of it.
From what i can tell you have to write their names down and perhaps the translation
maybe ichi = one?

i cant get any further than that because i dont understand what is being said

although saying that its a very good place to tm agatean
turn your language to agatean as soon as you say 'sayto ichi one' .. tm heaven ;D

You say to roku hitokui in morporkian: six
Roku hitoku exclaims with a sum dim accent :Well spotted
(Random stuff)
But it would be really cool if you could write it in agatean calligraphy as well. Do you think you could write my name like that?

So learn some calligraphy I think, and write the number six and give it to roku.

I've done it. You need to write one of the children's names in calligraphy and give it to that child. They'll accept it if the calligraphy is neat enough.

A paper with the number written doesn't work, is calligraphy another "command" verb? how i could use it?

or it was because i had low skills (223)?

Any clue about what calligraphy level is needed?

[harmonia]

Succeeded at 184 bonus with "neat" calligraphy. failed at 171 with "messy" and "untidy" calligraphy.

[Some pishite]

So, anyone know how to make a double rose?

[tespis]

What the hell? I have the skills and neat calligraphy, but it doesn't work. The child doesn't accept the paper when I give it to him.

For example, for Ichi, I have tried writing 'one' and 'ichi' and give him the paper. Doesn't react...

Any idea what may be wrong? I don't find them at all talkative either...

you have to say the number to 4 different kids till they tell you to write their number on a piece of paper. eg say one to ichi, then two to ni, then three to san, then four to shi. Shi should then ask you to write the number down. You don't have to say the numbers in any particular order though.

Also, you have to say and write in agatean.

[Some Caligrapher]

Finished the quest with a 180 bonus in caligraphy (text was described as "simple"). The paper you give has to: 1)Be neat and 2)Contain only the text One/Two/Three etc. So if Ichi asks for his name, you write "One" (no quotes) on the paper and give it to him. I was able to produce "simple" caligraphy at with a 171 bonus, but it was random.

Its really annoying that everyone comes in and kills the people because they are so weak while you're doing the quest. They should be made super impossible to kill like the godmother

[harmonia]

Godmothers are easy to kill

Just to say that I cannot convince Ichi that my note is calligraphy, even though I have a bonus of 181 in cra.arts.cal ... Hmmm....

[Dan]

Read the note first and make sure that it is neat or better. At 180 ish calligraphy you'll still get a fair few messy/untidy etc

[guestfour]

Many thanks for the hint...

Okay...
calligraphy..... 73 186
write with quill on paper in Agatean
One
read paper
You read the piece of writing paper:
Written in ink in Agatean:
is some text that you think means:
One

What am I doing wrong?
