Player, thank goodness you're here! Something very unusual is going on and I'm worried I might be setting myself up for a terrible fall.

Yesterday there was a sudden darkness in the middle of the afternoon, and several villagers claim to have heard strange whispering voices.

Then at midnight I woke to a strange tapping on my door. There was an old man there who asked me to weave a certain garment for him--one of my "special" robes.


It grants special abilities! The wearer can detect Aether, and more specifically, those who can wield Aetheric energy, such as Daevas.

I tried to work out who he was, but it was dark and his face was hidden by a heavy cloak. I was suspicious, but the money offered was substantial, and I had no real reason to say no.

It was only this morning, when I took out my designs and started working out what items that I needed, that I realised who the old man was. It was Pernos.
Have you never heard of him? The hermit living on the Agaric Spore Road? There’s a lot of speculation in the village about his… experiments out there.

Well, anyway, I promised I’d make the robe, but now I’m missing the most important material for it: Abex Skin. I was hoping you’d help me get some. Abexes are much too difficult for me to kill.

Will you do it, [%userclass]?
Thank you very much.

5 Abex Skin are needed for Pernos’s Robe.

You’ll find lots of Grove Abex in the west of Daminu Forest. It’ll be easy work for a [%userclass]. I’m counting on you.
Ah, Player!

You're back, and just in time!

The lining is pretty much complete, I just need to incorporate the Abex Skins, and we'll be done!
No no no! I asked for three skins, remember?

Please hurry, Player.


One, two, three… Fantastic, you actually got me five of them.

It can’t have been easy getting hold of this Abex Skin. And it feels really good.

Now I can make the lining for Pernos’s Robe.

Thank you very much! Take this as a little reward. I’m afraid I have nothing more to offer you. Come by and see Poppy any time you like, though!
