I hear Empyrean Lord Marchutan himself chose this site. It definitely reflects great wisdom and cunning.

Protected by hostile terrain, small and easily defended entry points.... We're lucky we got here first.

As long as we keep our supplies up, we can hold out against any attack almost indefinitely.
Indeed. But we still have our share of problems too.

In particular, rock creatures are all over the place. They're hard to spot from a distance and pack a hard punch.

Phina says they're animated by magic created before the Cataclysm. Wherever they came from, they make life here more difficult.


Good guess. We had a Daeva who took care of them for us, but she was called back to Pandaemonium last month.

I'd like to hire you to destroy rock creatures and take their Crystal of Magics. We think that's what brings them to life.

We can't pay much, but I can give you a piece of armour--some pauldrons you can't get from a store. What do you say?


Great! Eradicate the Gelkmaros Rock Monsters! Remember to bring the Crystal of Magic they leave behind. More will be created if you just leave them.

Oh, and my superiors won't let me give away the pauldrons unless they know the threat has been reduced. I'm afraid one round of hunting won't do it.

I'll also need 50,000 Kinah to start crafting it to your measurements. Believe me, it'll be worth it once it's done.






You look like you've been dancing with a Balaur legion. I'm sure that means you killed plenty of Gelkmaros Rock Monsters.

If so, I'll take care of their Crystals of Magic. Did you bring 50,000 Kinah for the pauldrons?


I just want you to understand that you won't see your Kinah again. It'll be spent customizing your pauldrons.

Once you've sufficiently cleared out the monsters, the armour will be yours.

If you can't afford it now, you should wait until you can. Are you all right with all this?




Sorry, but there's no point talking further without both the Crystals and the Kinah.

It may sound like a lot to go through, but I have my orders. We have responsibilities too, you know.

Once you have enough Crystal of Magics and the 50,000 Kinah, then we can make a deal.
Yes, I can feel the magic in them. It's certainly ancient--at least, it doesn't feel like magic any Daeva uses.

I'll hand these to our Sorcerers. They'll find a way to destroy them--maybe even a way to rob them of their power without a fight.

Give me a moment while I speak to my soldiers. If they think the rock monsters have been sufficiently cleared out, the pauldron is yours right now.
