Here's my trouble: do you know what Hascals are, Player? They're a new breed of Balaur, probably descended from Nagas.

They're cruel and vicious. We've encountered them for the first time here, but who knows how far the Dragon Lords will spread them?

We must discover as much as we can about them: their strengths, weaknesses, skills, the whole lot. I've tried, with little success.

I'd like to ask you to fight Naduka Hascal Snipers and report to Canopus with your impressions and findings.

Player: Accept.

You've returned. I hope you're here to tell me you found Grant.

He's a good operative. His silence is the very reason I sent you in the first place.

At any rate, give me your report.

Player: "Well, he had a request..."

Hascals, eh? I'd heard of them from some of my troops but never encountered one in person.

Grant won't return until we know everything about the Hascals. It's a little off his mission, but I agree this is important.

Your information is a good start, though. Thank you for assisting in Grant's work.
