Alas, there is one small complication: the presence of an arcane ward preventing access to the inner chambers that is passable only by servants of Ox'Dalan, protector of the underworld. As all present ponder a suitable course of action, the Great Serpent of Ronka lets forth a great scree, no doubt seeking to impart wisdom to your band. Sadly, no one present is able to comprehend the meaning of the divine protector's words, leaving you no choice but to accompany Chaqurl Qhotl to Slitherbough to seek the aid of the one man who can.

2,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_SEQ_02","You find Quinfort, who does not hesitate to interpret the words of the great serpent in his typically grandiose, pontificating, and highly dubious fashion. Valan gives cursory consideration to the Keeper of Whispers's wisdom before offering up a more practical solution to the problem at hand: to construct a talisman enchanted with the incantations that keep Slitherbough safe from the selfsame beasts that would make the Qitari explorers their next meal."
3,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_SEQ_03","You deliver the requested supplies to Valan, who deftly fashions a talisman according to Quinfort's instructions. Now able to probe the depths of Hopl's Stopple without fear of being devoured by creatures of the darkness, the Stewards' excavation team begins their dig, but will they succeed in finding the stone tablets they seek? Chaqurl Qhotl can scarce contain his anticipation to learn what secrets might be unearthed."
4,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_SEQ_04","The Qitari rejoice as their excavation effort succeeds in exhuming the first Qitari stela: one of many great stone tablets on which is writ the sum total of the knowledge and history of their ancient race. The stone, however, has been weathered over the ages, obscuring key passages necessary to comprehend the writings in full. At the exhortation of the great serpent, the Qitari resolve to restore the tablets to the best of their ability. However, the missing text leaves many passages open for interpretation, and Qitarl Natl and his son Chaqurl Qhotl have differing views about the intended message. Seeking the wisdom of an impartial arbitrator, they turn to you..."

75,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_QUINFORT_000_040","What's this you say!? Fell beasts prowl the tunnels at every turn? No doubt they are remnants of the shadows that wander the forests come to life!

76,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_041","They <Emphasis>could</Emphasis> be that. Or they could simply be nasty little brutes that crawled their way up from between the rocks. You know, like the ones around here."

78,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_043","I do. Mother tells me that when our ancestors first came to Slitherbough, they were set upon by a swarm of ravenous creatures that crawled up from below. Fortunately, one of the elder priests managed to utter an incantation that drove them away."
79,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_044","If you look closely at the walls around us, you can see glyphs carved in them. The same protective magic that saved our forefathers then has been worked into the very walls around us. In a sense, the settlement of Slitherbough itself serves as a ward against the dangers that lurk beneath us."
80,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_QUINFORT_000_045","Just so, Valan! And it is precisely wards and incantations of this sort that I have made the focus of my studies of late!"
81,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_CHAQURLQHOTL_000_046","I remain ever impressed with your knowledge, my good sirmadams. Might it be too much to ask if you could teach this incantation to the great serpent, that he might protect us in our expedition below?"

83,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_QUINFORT_000_048","Wh-What...what blasphemy do you speak, child!? Do you think <Emphasis>me</Emphasis>, a humble servant of the wood, so brazen as to believe he could enlighten the divine protector itself!?"
84,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_049","<sigh> Look...this isn't exactly my area of expertise, but it strikes me that there might be a simpler way to approach this."
85,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_050","Why don't we simply fashion a talisman or two for them? You know, like the ones we've always used to keep danger at bay. I can craft a simple object to serve as the vessel, then Quinfort can mutter a few words and enchant it as he sees fit."
86,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_100_050","Tradition dictates that the talisman be fashioned from materials indelibly connected to the bearer's home. Those of us who live in Slitherbough usually gather what we need from the Citia Swamps, but for our Qitari friends, we'll have to look further east."

96,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_066","Why, yes. This should serve us quite well. Just give me a moment or two─I'll round up the materials Chaqurl and I gathered from the village and whip up something in no time."
97,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_067","Just add a feather here, here, and here, then thread through this length of rope, and...yes, this should do it!"

99,"TEXT_BANQIQ002_03795_VALAN_000_071","Not so fast. The talisman needs to be enchanted before it's of any use. As it is now, it's little more than a fancy little ornament."
