10TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_00Emet-Selch appears to be deep in thought.
21TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_01On account of his conversance with the celestial, Emet-Selch believes that Hermes would be a welcome addition to the Convocation─assuming he is inclined to join. For now, you settle in for more observation as the chief overseer of Elpis goes about his work.
32TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_02Having inspected the ampelos to his satisfaction, Hermes will next look in on a creature that is reportedly having problems─the charybdis. To that end, you make your way to the northern edge of Philomythes Notos.
43TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_03You learn that a third-generation charybdis is unable to fly due to its aetheric balance leaning strongly towards water. Though the observer in charge wishes to revert the specimen and its kind, having deemed them a lost cause, Hermes is loath to give up on them, and offers to transform in order to guide the creature skyward. The proposal is met with shock and dismay, for transforming in public is considered vainglorious and unseemly. While Hermes seems willing to bear the shame if it means saving the creatures, Emet-Selch is not wholly convinced. It is then that Hythlodaeus conceives of a solution. For this, he sends Emet-Selch off with the charybdis, while you and the others remain to assist him with the necessary preparations.
54TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_04Wearing a conspiratorial grin, Hythlodaeus reveals to you his grand plan: having Emet-Selch assist the charybdis. For your part, you are tasked with going to the man and making the initial plea. With the chat mode in **Say**, say “I have a favor to ask” to indicate to Emet-Selch that you have a request.
65TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_05As you had been warned, Emet-Selch is disinclined to cooperate, but persistence is the key. With the chat mode in **Say**, say “Please, Emet-Selch” to batter the man's bulwark of petulant defiance.
76TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_06Beneath the combined weight of your incessant nagging, Emet-Selch finally caves and agrees to assist the charybdis. As he tends to the creature, you enjoy a quiet conversation with Hythlodaeus, who speaks of Emet-Selch and their mutual friend with great fondness and admiration. The tale draws to a close just as the charybdis appears to find its wings, and Hythlodaeus bids you signal to Emet-Selch that he may return to the ground. A simple /wave should do the trick.
87TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_07While the observer is impressed that the charybdis can in fact fly, he remains of the opinion that it would be better to simply have their concept adjusted. Hermes, however, is adamant that they continue to be given a chance to prove themselves a worthy addition to the star, and his underling acquiesces before taking his leave. With that, Hermes declares all his present tasks complete, and you set off together back to Anagnorisis.
98TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SEQ_08In observing Hermes performing his duties, you have gained some insight into the workings of Elpis, but thus far have uncovered no clear connection to the Final Days. For the sake of the star and all you hold dear, you must keep searching for clues.

5049TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_METEION_000_005Entelechy or no, we're friends! In thinness!
5150TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_010All appears to be well. This shouldn't take long.
5251TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_020Not that I or anyone else would be able to make use of it even if we knew...
5352TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_021But it irks me to discover that there is an entirely different form of energy─and *no one told me*.
5453TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_022That personal annoyance aside, Hermes's knowledge is undeniably impressive. Given that there are none among the Fourteen who specialize in the celestial, he would be a welcome addition.
5554TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_023Assuming he can be persuaded to join, that is. I still can't understand his hesitation...
5655TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_Q1_000_024What will you say?
5756TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_A1_000_025Why did you join the Convocation?
5857TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_A1_000_026What do you specialize in?
5958TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_027Oho, you wish to know why Emet-Selch was chosen for the Convocation? I should be glad to share the tale!
6059TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_028Ahem. It began when...
6160TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_029Not. Another. Word.
6261TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_030Lest you've forgotten, we're to learn about Hermes. Not me. My misspent youth is not your concern.
6362TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_040(I'll tell you the tale when we're away from sensitive ears.)
6463TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_045<sigh> What now?
6564TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_Q2_000_046What will you say?
6665TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_A2_000_047I want to learn about the Convocation.
6766TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_A2_000_048Actually...never mind.
6867TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_049Hmmm... If you would accompany us, I suppose you should at least know that much.
6968TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_050The Convocation of Fourteen is a governing body that determines myriad policies. Our goal is to ensure that all is right in creation, that our star may know a brighter future.
7069TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_051As the name suggests, the council is comprised of fourteen offices, each of which is held by an individual chosen for their surpassing abilities.
7170TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_052Depending on the office, one is required to either be an authority in a certain field, or possess skills that would facilitate the performance of their stipulated duties.
7271TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_053The former category includes Mitron, specialist in aquatic life; Loghrif, specialist in terrestrial life and husbandry...

7574TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_056As for the latter category, there is Altima, advocate of the arts; Igeyorhm, champion of enlightenment and rhetoric; Pashtarot, preserver of discipline and order...
7675TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_057Emet-Selch, keeper of the aetherial realm─or “Underworld” in the vernacular; Fandaniel, pursuer of extant phenomena...

7877TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_059...What? Should I be revealing such details to you? Don't be silly. Even children know this much, and you would do well to remember it all.
7978TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_060Then why did you bother me!? <sigh> Honestly, I'm beginning to think you were created for the sole purpose of trying my patience...
8079TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_070My apologies for the wait. I have inspected the ampelos to my satisfaction.
8180TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_071All is well with the creature, and I daresay it won't be long ere it is released unto the world.
8281TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_072Another creation, however, reportedly isn't faring so well─the charybdis.
8382TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_073That is what we shall tend to next.
8483TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_074If you would follow me, my friends, we shall return to the main isle and head north.
8584TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_080A serpentine bird...or a winged snake?
8685TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_085There is a slight difference in aetheric balance between these charybdises.
8786TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_086By this, it may be assumed that they aren't the original creations, but their offspring.
8887TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_METEION_000_090Why is this one blue and shiny...?
8988TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_095Uwaaah! ...Oh, forgive me, I thought another member of the Convocation had come. This is turning out to be an eventful day...
9089TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_100I understand there is a problem with one of the charybdis.
9190TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_101Yes, that's right.
9291TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_102As you know, the charybdis is based on a sea creature. Owing to adjustments to enhance its affinity to wind, it is capable of flight.
9392TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_103The specimens created from the concept could all fly without issue, but a problem arose in subsequent generations.
9493TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_104This third-generation creature was born with an aetheric balance leaning strongly towards water. Its aquatic origin reasserting itself, it would seem...
9594TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_105The result being its affinity to wind is diminished, and it cannot fly. No matter what we try, we can't get it to rise even the slightest bit.
9695TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_106For such change to manifest in so few generations... I fear they are too unstable. Flawed.
9796TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_107With your permission, I will revert the creatures, and recommend to the bureau that the concept be revised.
9897TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_108...With its aetheric balance leaning towards water, the charybdis would indeed struggle to manipulate wind.
9998TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_109Yet it is too early to conclude that it cannot fly. Having failed at first, it may simply have developed a fear.
10099TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_110I shall transform and fly with it, helping it to manipulate wind until it finds its wings.
101100TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_111What!? Y-You needn't go to such lengths...
102101TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_112You don't know? <sigh> But of course not...
103102TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_113Transformation is an art in which one manipulates a vast quantity of aether to construct another body around oneself.
104103TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_114In practice, this allows one to assume any conceivable form, and thereby transcend the limits of one's flesh.
105104TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_115Yet convenient though it may be, transforming in the presence of others is considered vainglorious in the extreme. As uncouth and unseemly as running about robeless. Shameful.
106105TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_116Am I to understand you make a habit of this?
107106TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_117N-Nothing of the sort. It's just that, when transformed, I can wield the wind and fly.
108107TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_118It may seem excessive, but what is our shame next to the lives of these creatures?
109108TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_119They deserve a chance, and we owe it to them to do all in our power!
110109TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_120Be that as it may...
111110TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_121Hmmm...
112111TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_122Yes, I believe I have a solution. Emet-Selch─may I trouble you to move that charybdis away from its fellows? Somewhere out of sight.
113112TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_123Meanwhile, I'd like the rest of you to help me prepare here.
114113TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_124What mischief are you scheming now?
115114TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_125No mischief, I assure you. I would but spare you the need to report to your colleagues that Hermes committed an indiscretion.
116115TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_126So have a little faith, and run along.
117116TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_127I trust you don't mind?
118117TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_130Well? Are your preparations for the scheme that is clearly not a scheme complete?
119118TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_135Hythlodaeus is a man of ideas. I wonder what he has thought up this time...
120119TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_METEION_000_140We must help the charybdis to fly. Or else they will all die!
121120TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_145Such bother when we could simply begin anew... But I shall defer to the chief overseer.
122121TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_150Emet-Selch is out of sight? Good. Let's speak of the plan.
123122TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_151It's a stroke of genius, really: we have Emet-Selch train the charybdis!
124123TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_152Aside from being able to fly untransformed, he can readily see aether currents.
125124TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_153And with his adept spellcraft, he can also employ suitable wind magicks to guide the creature along.
126125TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_154While he is indeed capable of all you described, it is not his duty. I am loath to trouble him with it.
127126TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_155Don't be! As I mentioned, it would also be for his own sake. With that settled, let's begin at once!

129128TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_157He will be disinclined to cooperate at first, but you mustn't be discouraged. With our friend, the trick is to be unflaggingly persistent.

149148TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_SYSTEM_000_240The charybdis appears to be the subject of Emet-Selch's undivided attention. You may need to **wave** rather forcefully in his general direction to remind him that you and the others exist.

157156TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_252Indeed. With this, we've proven that even a creature with skewed aetheric balance is capable of flight.
158157TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_253Though we helped it to achieve this, the charybdis is a herd animal. They may well aid their struggling kin in like fashion if and when the need arises.
159158TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_254Keeping this in mind, I bid you continue observing them.
160159TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_255If that is what you want...
161160TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_256But if I may say so, rather than hoping an idealistic possibility comes to pass, would it not be simpler to have the concept adjusted? That way, we could guarantee that anomalies such as this specimen are never born in the first place.
162161TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_257These creatures are already here. We will spare no effort in giving them a chance to survive.
163162TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_ANAGNORISISSTAFF04425_000_258As you wish, Chief. As you wish.
164163TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_METEION_000_259Hermes...
165164TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_260I'm fine. Don't worry.
166165TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_261Well, that concludes all of my present tasks.
167166TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_262Let us return to Anagnorisis for now.
168167TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HYTHLODAEUS_000_270I thoroughly enjoyed myself─at the end most of all!
169168TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_HERMES_000_275Now you've seen what I do. Was it everything you were expecting...?
170169TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_METEION_000_280All the creations are happy. That makes me happy too!
171170TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_290...What? Want to apologize for forcing me to help, do you?
172171TEXT_AKTKME107_04425_EMETSELCH_000_291Save your breath. You didn't force me to do anything─I merely chose the most expeditious way to have done with an impediment to our business.
