{@LinkCreature:63#3003#Elthienne} was looking for you. Did you talk to her yet? Hey! I was just asking around for you.<BR><BR>Apparently, our neighbors to the south are overrun with storm lizards, vulcans, and kumases.<BR><BR>I'd love to provide them with some aid, but...vulcans? Kumases? Your skills vastly surpass those of any of the Hands—individually and perhaps even collectively.<BR><BR>Can I send you to cut down some of the threats in Val Aureum? You went to {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road}? Was it a suicide mission? If so, it wasn't successfull.<BR><BR>Tell {@LinkCreature:63#3003#Elthienne} she'll need to try harder if she wants to get you killed. Thin out the {@LinkCreature:24#5#swift storm lizards} on {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road} and bring back their skin.<BR><BR>Elthienne didn't ask for skin, but I'm not missing an opportunity to get some materials for a new outfit. It's gonna to be smokin' hot! I hate {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road}. I mean, seriously, what does it have to offer? Searing heat, dead everything, and things that want to make you dead. I say we just give up on the south.<BR><BR>I told {@LinkCreature:63#3003#Elthienne} to not even think about trying to send me down there. But I'm sure she promised you something pretty in return? Hunt {@LinkCreature:24#9#desert lightning kumases} on {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road} and bring back anything useful you find. Can I just say that you are an inspiration? I mean it!<BR><BR>I hope {@LinkCreature:63#3003#Elthienne} appreciates you as much as I do. Pay her a visit and find out. Kill {@LinkCreature:24#12#covetous vulcans} on {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road} and bring back anything we can use...and we can use anything. Oh {@LinkCreature:63#3003#Elthienne}! Look who's back! Kill {@LinkCreature:24#62#yearning vulcans} on {@Rgn:24001#Aurum Road} and pocket any useful items you find on their corpses. Taratia looks happy. You must have found some good stuff on the bodies of the hostiles on Aurum Road. Your resourcefulness never ceases to amaze.
