Do you hear that sound? It is the heartbeat of Sataloca.

His body vanished many years ago, but his heart remained behind.

By some incredible power, he created the Acheron Drakes, and still, though long dead, his influence remains....

Player: "How so?"

You saw the Kurin and the Basilisks on your way here, I assume?

When I first arrived, they were like every other desert creatures. They were...well, normal.

Then they started to change. They grew larger and fiercer...and grow more so with each passing day.

Player: "That's disconcerting."

Disconcerting indeed, though they haven't yet encroached upon Sataloca's Tomb. We should take action while we still can.

If they were to invade at the same time as the Acheron Drakes, we'd have trouble sealing off Sataloca's Heart in time--it controls the drakes, you know. We must take action now.

If you could clear some of them off, we could start getting things prepared here so we can be ready for an emergency seal. That way we're covering the problem from both ends.

Player: Accept.

You are as generous as they say.

You'll find the Hulking Kurin and the Maned Basilisks at the entrance to Sataloca's Tomb.

I've asked for authorization to give Bronze Coins for this task. I haven't heard the answer yet...but...I'm sure I will....

Player: "I'll be swift."

Oh, Player!

We've made some great progress here. I think we're just about ready to seal off Sataloca's Heart at a moment's notice!

How did things go on your end?

Player: "The creatures are dead."

I knew I chose the right person. This will help us so much.

I, erm...still haven't heard back about that Bronze Coin...but...how could they say no? I've got the Coins, you've done a job...here, take it.

But...erm...maybe you can keep this just between us, anyway?
