10TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_SEQ_00Y'shtola seems quite pleased with herself. But whether she has good or bad news to share remains to be seen.

4948TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_000Hopefully Y'shtola has good news to share.
5049TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_001A chance to reclaim the night has lit a fire in Minfilia that I would see kindled.
5150TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_RYNE_000_005What do you suppose she's gleaned from the tablet?
5251TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_020Let me begin by first explaining the origins of this tablet.
5352TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_021I initially believed it might detail the history of the Church of the First Light. Much to my surprise, it dates back to the end of the Ronkan Empire, and was likely written under the direction of the reigning ruler.
5453TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_022It was a time of strife and unceasing war with neighboring nations. With each passing day they yielded more and more territory to their enemies.
5554TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_023In their desperation, petitions for aid were sent out to their allies. This was one such petition.
5655TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_RYNE_000_024And you think this ancient petition will somehow help us get into Yx'Maja?
5756TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_URIANGER_000_025Indeed we do.
5857TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_URIANGER_000_026For etched into this tablet is a method by which one may prove themself an ally of the Ronkan Empire.
5958TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_URIANGER_000_027Provided we are able to decipher said instructions, we may entreat the ruin's protectors to grant us safe passage.
6059TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_028The problem, however, is I presently lack the resources to decipher them in their entirety.
6160TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_029We have but one recourse: there exists a stone monument inscribed with ancient Ronkan text and translations into a more modern dialect which came into use after the fall of the empire. I am confident it will suit our purposes.
6261TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_RYNE_000_030Where can we find this monument?
6362TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_031Here in Citia, quite close to Slitherbough, in fact.
6463TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_032The good news ends there, however, for it is in the possession of a rather radical faction of Dark worshipers─the Children of the Everlasting Dark.
6564TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_033If I am to study the monument, I must infiltrate their encampment.
6665TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_034I have no intention of taking longer than absolutely necessary, but I will nevertheless require time to transcribe the text I need. To ensure that I will have enough, I am afraid I must ask you and Thancred to assist me.
6766TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_035And before you even ask, the answer is no. If we're to remain unseen, our group must be as small as possible.
6867TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_RYNE_000_036...All right. I'll stay here until you return.
6968TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_037We won't be long. If anything should happen, you keep her safe.
7069TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_038Then let us convene outside, to the west of Slitherbough where the path diverges.
7170TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_RYNE_000_040Take care, Player.
7271TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_URIANGER_000_045For my part, I shall make all possible preparations that Y'shtola may begin translating the tablet upon her return.
7372TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_050All set.
7473TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_060The encampment we seek is to the north, but it would be foolish to simply rush in.
7574TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_061A guard has been posted at Cleric to keep watch over the Children. Perhaps he has aught to share of their recent activity.
7675TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_062But we must tread carefully. There is a chance we may encounter them along the way.
7776TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_063Stay close and stay alert. I would avoid a confrontation if possible.
7877TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_064They rejoice in dealing death to others, claiming that in doing so they cleanse their victims of sin and usher them unto the sunless sea. I would rather not sully my hands defending myself against such madmen.
7978TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_070Ahhh!
8079TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_BALLOON_000_080Do not interfere with our work!
8180TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_090By the blessed Dark...
8281TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_091Thank goodness you are unharmed.
8382TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_092We would have arrived sooner, but we too had a rather unwelcome visit from the Children.
8483TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_093You are an acquaintance of Master Matoya, then. My apologies.
8584TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_094The Children have been acting strange of late, so I thought to take a closer look. I was careless...
8685TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_095Strange? What have you seen?
8786TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_096At first there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary─the usual gathering of ingredients for poisons from flora and fauna.
8887TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_097But then I took notice of their venomous spiders. They've been breeding them in much greater numbers.
8988TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_098It's as if they're preparing for something...
9089TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_099Any ideas as to what?
9190TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_100It could be anything, really. If it meant the end of the Blessed, nothing would be too cruel or violent for them.
9291TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_101But perhaps we can use their present preoccupation with spiders to our advantage.
9392TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_102If we were to introduce a threat to the nests where they keep them, the Children would be compelled to save them. Bees, for example, are a natural predator of spiders.
9493TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_103Set them loose on the nests and we would have our opportunity to sneak into their encampment.
9594TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_104What a mischievous plan. I like it. With a bit of smoke we should be able to subdue a few colonies long enough to secure their hives.
9695TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_105Have you anything we might be able to use?
9796TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_106We should have smoke bombs at the outpost just over there.
9897TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_107Then it's settled.
9998TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_108Grab a few smoke bombs from the outpost and search about for beehives.
10099TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_109I imagine the bees won't take too kindly to your visit, but once they're knocked out, take the beehives and bring them back here. Two will suffice, I should think.
101100TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_WATCHER03329_000_120If it's all the same to you, I'll be returning to Slitherbough. I don't want to get in the way. Stay safe, and may the shadows keep you.
102101TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_SYSTEM_000_130The bees begin to swarm!
103102TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_THANCRED_000_140Were you able to find any?
104103TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_150The guard returned to Slitherbough, but not before offering his thanks.
105104TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_151As for the beehives, Thancred and I were successful in acquiring what we need. How did you fare?
106105TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_152This is more than enough. The Children are certain to be displeased.
107106TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_YSHTOLA_000_153Let us hurry, before the bees begin to stir.
108107TEXT_LUCKMC108_03329_URIANGER_000_010I have no doubt thou wilt find the contents of the tablet most informative.
