I have some unfortunate news, Player.

The counter-toxin I prepared had no effect. I fear it may actually have made things worse.

He has almost passed. There is but one final chance to save him.

Player: "What is it?"

I must ask you to do something most drastic, to undertake a mission most dire.

To save this man's life, I must ask you to place yourself in grave peril.

Think carefully about what I ask of you next.

Player: "Yes? What is it?"

You will need to find the poison gland from a Shade Arachna. And they may only be found...in Asmodae.

In the dark land of Morheim, there is a place called the Patamor Ridge Path. There you will find the Arachnas.

Not many would risk their lives traveling through enemy territory, on behalf of a stranger they have never met. Should you choose not to help, I would think no worse of you.

Player: Accept.

To travel to Morheim, you must pass through the Rift near the rear of Eltnen Fortress.

If that route is not open, then.... No--I cannot dwell upon it. I can but hope for the best.

You must bring back the Poison Gland of a Shade Arachna. Aion's grace be with you.

Player: "And also with you."

You have returned safely from Asmodae, Player!

Did you bring the Arachna Poison Gland?

Player: "Well...."

You did not go? You must hurry!

With each passing minute, this man grows that much closer to death.

Daevas forget what it means, to die.

Player: "I shall return."

Well done! I thank you from the bottom of my heart. May Ariel's light be upon you always.

I'll start the counter-toxin straight away. I believe it will work this time.

One more thing. While you were away, the man's wife heard of your efforts, and asked me to give you this reward.
