You ready for this?

Agent Outremus wants me to send you as a reinforcement. A single, tiny reinforcement!

There's a huge Balaur operation going up, so there'll be lots of overgrown Webslinks just for you. Shards! I'm jealous.

Player: "Where am I going?"

You're headed waaaaay out to Inggison Outpost. It used to be a huge Drana farm, but we killed the local Balaur and built a fortress on top of them.

Well, a magic picture of a fortress, anyway.

You're so lucky that you get to kill off those flightless qooqoos-with-claws. I'm itching for the day we send Expeditionary Forces to face them.

Player: "How do I get there?"

You want to take an Air Line to the northeast.

I'll let Centurion Iaetia know you're coming, so go see her when you get to the outpost.

Player: "Will do, Centurion."

You! [%userclass]! Why are you here?

You don't look like a member of the Sanctum Expeditionary Force. Get out! And don't get yourself caught by the Balaur so I have to rescue you or something.

Wily loose-cannon Daevas.

Player: "Secundila says I'm your reinforcement."

Reinforcement? Reinforcement! I asked for the Sanctum Expeditionary Force, and they sent you?

Well, since you're here.... We built our fortress on top of this old Drana farm, and the Balaur keep trying to take it back. If we don't get off the defensive, this standoff will never end.

I want you to go out and raid the Mephistis Farm. Eliminate the Basrasa Workers and Basrasa Draconutes. Advance!

Player: "Faith and arms!"

Back so soon?

May Kaisinel strike me down if you don't look just as good as when you left!

Player: "Balaur farmers? Piece of Porgus!"

Huh. Useful reinforcements, for once. Good work, Player. I bet the Balaur are in complete disarray.

The only way it could be better is if we could destroy the rest of the Inggison Drana too.

Player: "Ooooh! Can I, can I?"

Maybe. The Drana regenerate, so you can't destroy them the normal way.

You'd need to incinerate them or dissolve them with a powerful poison.

Actually! Poison sounds good! How about something paralytic from the Klaw Digestive Gland? It's usually found on a Supraklaw Laborer. Bring some of those to Diana, and she'll make the poison to kill off the Inggison Drana.

Player: "Poison sounds very Assassin-like."

You're a bit slow for someone so young. Iaetia sent word ages ago.

Why don't you give me those Klaw Digestive Glands you brought?

Player: "Sorry I'm tardy."

Hmmm. These are definitely more acidic than glands from other regions, but I'll still need to fortify them with Fly Agaric Juice.

It seems, you've got your work cut out for you. I need you to go to Jamanok Inn in Theobomos. Say that I sent you and the mistress of the inn, Jamanok, will give you what you need.

Oh, but first see Centurion Maloren in Heiron and ask for a Drana sample. I'll need to test the poison on something!

Player: "I'm on it!"

Are you going to Dark Poeta, [%userclass]?

You'll need materials for a Time Activation Stone if you want to operate the Artifact of Transcendence.

Player: "Actually, I heard you have a Drana sample."

Oh, yes! Diana told me you were coming.

It's from Dark Poeta, though, so I can't guarantee it'll react the same as something from Balaurea.

Player: "It'll help, no matter what."

Oh my! Even your [%mainslotitem] is covered with dirt. Why don't you wash up, weary traveler?

Please, wash and rest. Perhaps you'd like to try our famous dumplings?

Player: "I'm here for Fly Agaric Juice."

Diana must go through that like... like an Alchemy Master!

Take this jar, and please be careful. I've sealed it as tightly as I could, but the poison is very strong. Even diluted fumes could knock you unconscious.

Player: "Thank you for the warning."

Don't bother with excuses for your tardiness, Player. Just give me what you brought.

Player: "Yes, ma'am."

I see that you've at least managed to store your ingredients competently.

But then, had you broken that jar of Fly Agaric Juice, you wouldn't have made it here.

There may be hope for you yet.

Player: "Thank you, ma'am."

Just... hold on a moment while I mix this....

There! Keep in mind this is a very potent poison, so you only need to apply a drop to the roots of the Inggison Drana.

I tested it on the sample you brought, but you can tell me how it works in the field. If it's useful, I'll make more for you.

Player: "Much thanks, Alchemy Master."

You! What're you doing here? Get out...

Oh. It's you. So, did Master Diana make the poison to kill the Drana?

Player: "Don't drink this."

Hah! Bye bye, Balaur!

That's the first good news I've had in a while.

I'll tell Master Diana that her poison's a success. Take this report to the fortress, Player. Centurion Secundila's been asking for an update.

Player: "Of course, Centurion."

How are things back at Inggison Outpost?

We stinging those savages where it hurts?

Player: "People are good. Balaur are dead."

Heh. And now they've got you playing messenger-Daeva with these reports. Better you than me.

Who wants to run messages when they could be cracking Drakan skeletons and using the shards to pick their teeth?

How about you take this report to Outremus?

Player: "Faith, arms, and toothpicks!"

The good Centurion says your contribution was significant in the operation of destroying the Inggison Drana with Klaw Digestive Glands.

You've done well. Whether Tiamat uses the power of Siel's relic or not, you have already conquered this land. Go and tame your spoils of war!
