<PCNAME> met a scout from the Baaldaz Post and learned the location of Archdeva Temporary Post. Using the truth needle, <PCNAME> seized a dark magic map.
One of my scouts reported archdevan activity nearby in Verdantfire Rift. They are excavating something, but we do not know what.<BR><BR>Seek the scout; his name is Marat. He knows every archdevan camp and patrol in the area. He will know where to find what you seek.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'll talk to him."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
Greetings, outlander. Welcome to our land.<BR><BR>I am sorry to say that I have not seen any sort of apparatus which might somehow affect the Storm Barrier, but I suspect that only their most trusted officers would know where it might be found.<BR><BR>Hm. As luck would have it, there is a high-ranking officer in their cave camp, just inside the Verdantfire Rift. Follow the path just over the hill, then look to your left. You should see the cave entrance.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Leave it to me."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
What was that you...?<BR><BR>I feel odd...like I've drunk too much wine...are we at the beach yet? I want to work on my tan.<BR><BR>We can't stay long...I need to get back to the Energia Celo...it's my shift!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'll get you back. Where is it, again?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
The entrance...it always changes...need the shifting map... <NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Right! The map! Where did you put it?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
It's inside this chest...but you should know that. Why don't you...?<BR><BR>Wait...who are you? How did you get in here?<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>Back off</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
Oh, thank you, outlander!<BR><BR>But, please: There are more prisoners above. Do you see that ladder? They're all up there.<BR><BR>Please, you have to help them, too!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Don’t worry."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
Free!<BR><BR>Thank you, stranger! You saved me!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'll draw them off. When I do—run!"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
I'll help you fight them! Just...need to...get my strength back...<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Plenty of time for that later. I've got this."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
I was waiting for you, <PCNAME>!<BR>Hagand told me about his research on the devastones you gathered for him.<BR><BR>He thinks the archdevas use it for their blood magic, which explains why they were so keen to protect it.<BR><BR>If we can find their lab, we can probably rescue some of their victims.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I have a map to their laboratory."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
You know where it is? Excellent!<BR><BR>Maybe now we can get to the bottom of this...and re-enable the teleportal to Velika!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"You might be right. One way to find out."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON>
