No. Steal it.

You quickly look around you. Everyone is caught up in the buzzing atmosphere of the market. No one is giving you a second glance. You quickly stuff the fish into your bag. You look around again. No one seems to have spotted you. Good. You quickly jog to catch up with him. You get many looks from people, probably wondering why the old man allows you to dress so, well, normally. You continue to follow him. He leads you through town until slowly, the buildings get less dense, more spread out, and smaller. Soon, you don’t see many buildings at all. He then leads you down a trampling in the tall grass that takes you to the shore. You walk along the shoreline until he leads you into a small little hut on the beach, relatively far from everyone else in the city. You look around the interior. It can definitely fit one person, but definitely not an ideal living space for two. He has a small hammock, a lantern, a small table and a chair, a few bits of bread and other food stowed away in a makeshift bread box. A half finished game of solitaire sits on the table. The old man sits onto his hammock and pulls the seat out from the table for you to sit on. You gratefully accept the seat and turn to face him.

“Fighting Pohlep and the other Demon Lords won’t be quite like a normal fight. You’ll have to anticipate his strikes, which will allow you to strike. However, whatever bow or sword or whatsit you’ve got won’t work on him. You’ve got to go deep into the swamp west of here. They call it the Mind Control Muskeg. An uncivilized tribe lives deep within, and they have mastered the art of hypnosis. However, you will need vials of Radodarnost juice, coming from the plant that can only be cultivated deep in the jungle by the tribe. Fill these 6 bottles” He pulls 6 small vials from behind him and hands them to you “with the Radodarnost juice, and then come back here. Once you begin battling Pohlep, launch these at him. The glass will break and the juice will splatter upon him. It will eat through him like acid. 5 should be enough to defeat Pohlep, however, you’ll want one extra. In order to defeat Nonag, you will need to throw at least one vial on him. Now go out to the forest! Gather the juice! Come back here once you’ve done so!” The man quickly escorts you out. You walk up the small path and head west into town. After a moment, you reach the center of town once more.
