As you already know, we've been focusing our attack on the Balaur Cavalry Base. Unfortunately, they have grown wiser and have begun to retaliate. Drakan continue to assault our Scout Post.

There are simply too many, so we've installed mines as a deterrent. By Siel's Spear, we could use your skills, Player.

Bury this Aether Mine in the Scout Post Defense Line. The mine will explode automatically when the Drakan attack.

Player: Accept.

Good, good. With it in place, those Drakan won't stand a chance.

It's so frustrating, so sad, to think that this battle could go on for years to come. It is all consuming. It's a wonder we're not all lost to despair.

If only I were actually fighting in the Tiamat Stronghold, I'd feel I was accomplishing more.
