We were the vanguard into the Pradeth Plains and fought bravely against the Tiamat Remnants in the Danuar Temple. So why am I standing here in disgrace instead of toasting my victory?

Because those treacherous Balaur used some kind of Danuar magic to turn my unit to stone, that's why!

We can free them with Aether Marble Pieces but only the Pashid Blades Unit has any. You look pretty puny, so they wouldn't expect you! Go get some for us.

Player: Accept.

At last, my brothers and sisters shall be free and we can continue our assault on the temple. All thanks to a low-born mercenary scum. Well, as long as it works....

Do you have the Aether Marble Pieces?

Player: "Right here."

Excellent. Now to just glue them together and... What? It's special glue from a very exclusive shop in Sanctum -- one I'm sure the likes of you has never been to!

Perfect! Bring these Aether Marbles to Pradeth Ruins and find Statue's Remains. Free my comrades and I shall reward you.

Oh, and I should probably mention that we were still in league with those Asmodian Shades at the time. There's a slight possibility you'll be freeing foes not friend.

Player: "All in a day's work...."

Once a mercenary, always a mercenary, I see.

I've half a mind not give a reward to the likes of you. But word might get around that I'm not good for my promises.

So take this as payment and scurry along.
