The gulas of the Hungry Caverns are abducting people for their stewpots. One of the abductees, Hennika, was the younger sister of Detrian—an acquaintance of yours. Detrian went into the Hungry Caverns after her. You never found Detrian, but you did recover his sword from a gula. You rescued Hennika from a slave market, and she swore on her brother's sword that she would avenge him. Okay, this has to stop—the gulas are out of control! I have a list here of the most recent people they've carried off for their stewpots. Go into the Hungry Caverns and rescue as many as you can. What? Is there a name you recognize? Yes, that's Detrian's sister, Hennika. He already went in after her, so you might as well add him to the list. Search Vanguard Post Alpha in the Cavern of Shackles. If you hurry you might save a few of them from being eaten. Who goes there? Wait...you're not Detrian! What? Detrian went into the caverns? He hasn't got a chance in there! Okay, I can see you're going to follow him in, so here's what you have to know. The kitchens are on this level. That's where they'll put prisoners before...you know. Don't wind up in the pot yourself, <PCCLASS:lcase>! (The bite marks on this corpse look gula-sized. It's been dead a long time, so it's not a recent prisoner.) They weren't there? Then they must be in the lower levels. We're still racing against time. Check in at Vanguard Post Beta. Ask for Rendia. If anyone's heard something new, she'll know about it. Yes, Loxetrius's instincts are as sharp as ever. The abductees, and maybe Detrian, are almost certainly in the prison cells—an area the gulas call the Cavern of Tears. There are two cell blocks. The {@LinkCreature:208#1024#first cell block} is straight down the passage. <PCNAME>...(cough)...(gasp). I tried... I could see Hennika, but there were too many of them. I couldn't get to her. The {@LinkCreature:8#4011#aberrant gulons} took her to the <A href="markmap:loc=7004#78829,63010,-3794&type=1&name=second cell block">second cell block</A>. We have to save her, <PCNAME>...<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"We will."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I just can't...move right now, <PCNAME>. I should rest... Just for a minute... (Detrian stops breathing, and you can't find a pulse. His eyes remain open, as if still looking for his sister.) Fates be damned, I'm glad to see you! I thought it was the stewpot for sure! Are you in the same unit as that young soldier who found us? He fought so bravely... Thank you for saving me! What's your name? I'm naming my firstborn child after you! We're scared and weak, but otherwise fine. Can't say the same for that soldier who tried to rescue us... Did he make it out okay? Hennika...I feel so sorry for her. That soldier who tried to rescue us was her brother. I thought I was going to end my life in a gula frying pan, that's for sure. <PCNAME>! I remember you! Where's Detrian? Is he? Don't say it! Don't!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"His last thought was of you..."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Oh, Detrian...Detrian...(sob)... I know he'd want me to be brave, but it's not easy. And he'd want you to avenge him, <PCNAME>. The last sight I had was of him fighting one of those {@LinkCreature:8#4051#vulgar inquisitors}.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"That's my target, then."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> I can't keep crying like this. I have to be strong for the other survivors. I'll get everyone up to Avenger Outpost. Look for my brother's sword. That's how you'll know which inquisitor to kill. Detrian's sword... Detrian, if you're listening, I swear upon this sword that I'll become a Kaia's Sword like you, and rescue people in your name. This I swear! Avenge Detrian! Kill the inquisitor and bring back my brother's sword! The survivors made it back here, <PCNAME>. Well done! I was so sorry to hear about Detrian. He was a good soldier. Perhaps we'll see him in our dreams. I'd like that. And I think Detrian's sister would, too. Such a serious little girl...
