Black Cloud Traders sent envoy Kuruminerk to Sanctum because new ways are needed to meet goals now, yes?

First goal--defeat Steel Rake Pirates, nyerk nyerk. Nasty, nasty Shulacks have cost Black Cloud many Kinah. Many Shugos, too, nyerk.

Steel Rake hard to catch, but now she is adrift in Abyss! Golden opportunity! Akakakakak!

Player: "Something I can do to help?"

No, no! Kuruminerk wants to help Daevas!

Would like to express gratitude to Elyos. Daeva can help with that?

Kuruminerk has Secret Stigma Skill Book here in own paws. Does Daeva think Miriya wants to know about existence of such a valuable book?

Player: Accept.

Kuruminerk would be happy to give Skill Book to Miriya, but this creates problem.

Book is quite rare and valuable. If Kuruminerk gives it to Miriya, Miriya will be burdened with owing Kuruminerk a favor.

So, will Daeva please ask Miriya about interest in Secret Stigma Skill Book? How much book is worth to her?

Player: "I'll find out."

Arieluma.

Did you come here to equip a Stigma?

If you have prepared Shards and Stigma, I'll help you equip them.

Player: "I have a message for you."

Secret Stigma Skill Book?

Oh, I know that book very well. Some copies turned up a few years ago--full of fakery. The con man who wrote it made a fortune, then ran off. He's still wanted, I believe.

I suppose Kuruminerk thinks what he has is a real secret skill book. Just tell him...tell him I already have one. It's very nice.
