Sun's blessings for getting that communique from Themis through to Diokuroi.

Themis tries to send us the names of people who are traveling to Observatory village, but only about 70% of those on the list seem to arrive.

Some of them probably decide not to come once they see the Parched Barrens, but I fear that others simply vanish into the wastelands.

Player: "Can't you do something?"

Themis believes we can improve the Parched Barrens routes if we hunt Striped Basilisks and Thorn Leaf Dionaes, but we're too short-handed to organize a hunt.

You know...you're obviously very skilled, Player, since you traveled here alone through the Parched Barrens. Would you be willing to help us?

Your assistance would be most appreciated and well rewarded.

Player: Accept.

Thank you. It may take you some time to make a dent in the Striped Basilisk and Thorn Leaf Dionae populations...but Light will prevail!

Player: "Faith and arms!"

You are solid dust, my friend. Here, have a cool drink.

I can certainly see you've been busy.

Player: "You should see the Basilisks and Dionaes!"

Thank you for your virtuous efforts. Here's your reward, as promised.
