You delivered Nepion's Image Marble, didn't you? You're Player, right?

Player: "Nepion?"

He's a Reian who reinforces the pathway to the Esoterrace.

His marble also showed Balaur Researchers. You know, you could get rid of them.

Then, the production of Dratamin and Surkana would plummet, and Tiamat's forces suffer.

Player: Accept.

Any other Balaur are just Azpha sauce. You must defeat the Esoterrace Researchers.

Soldiers are easy for them to replace, researchers are not.

Player: "I'll take some colleagues out with me."

Look at those bloodstains! (She thumps you on the back, and you barely manage to stay upright.)

Good work, friend.

Player: "We got a slew of Researchers."

We can't get rid of them all with a single attack. We'd better keep a regular smiting schedule.

Will you continue?

Ah, never you mind. We can discuss that later. For now, accept this reward.
