I hear that the path to Alukina's Palace is open again. I think of all those who've tried to gain entry time and time again.

If vast treasures and unspeakable wealth await those who can avoid a certain death...well, you weed out the stupid quickly.

It's impossible to climb down a thousand foot cliff holding onto a mossy rope. Very possible to fall, however.

Player: "Pray, continue your gripping tale..."

But assuming you survived the descent, you'd be welcomed with open arms by Seirens, whose very voice can kill, as well as other terrible creatures.

Now, armed with the right kind of information, a Daeva just might be able to do it.

And I just happen to have the right kind of information. Interested?

Player: "Absolutely."

You'll see a lot of Coral Reef when you enter Alukina's Palace.

It's no ordinary coral, but a very rare type that few know about.

Please return with seven pieces of Coral. I'll sell them at a high price and split the profits with you.

Player: Accept.

You should take some trusted accomplices with you. Gathering coral only sounds simple and safe.

And make sure that they keep this a secret. There'll be less for us if everyone rushes off to look for Coral Reef.

If you can't keep them quiet, go alone...or come back alone.

Player: "You're a very up person."

Ah! You're back. How's my Daevic partner?

What happened to the job at Alukina's Palace?

Did you bring the goods I wanted?

Player: "Of course I did."

Why are you still empty-handed?! What have you been doing with your time?

Don't tell me you couldn't find any Coral Reef....

We're going to turn a big profit. Get back out there!

Player: "Very well."

Is this the only coral you could find? This doesn't look very special at all.

We won't be able to get much for this, much less than what I first expected.

I'm sorry, but this is all I can pay you. It's a generous amount, considering....
