Thanks to you, our investigators have advanced deep into the Abyssal Splinter.

Player: "Did they find anything?"

Well, there was the Artifact of Protection that your nastier opponents have been guarding.

But we expected that. We didn't expect the Huge Aether Fragments down there, and no one's quite sure what role they play...yet.

I'd like to send you on a fact-finding mission.

Player: Accept.

Until you've disposed of the protectors, you won't get near the Huge Aether Fragments.

So deal with them first, and then destroy the fragments. Our investigators will do the rest.

Don't worry, the investigators are taking samples, not smashing things to smithereens.

Player: "In that case, I'll go."

Our investigators made some interesting reports, but I'd like to hear your thoughts about your latest mission.

Player: "The protectors freaked over the fragments."

That matches the report of the investigators.

As long as our goal is the artifact, we can leave those Huge Aether Fragments intact. No need to make Artifact Protectors angry!

Take this reward for everything you've done in uncovering the mysteries of the Abyssal Splinter.
