Let's take a look at this map...

Yep, that's Ishalgen. Look, here is the prison camp...and this is...wait, I've seen this map before.

A woman named Kirtai came through here a couple months ago. She said she was looking for a gravesite and had a poorly drawn map.

I told her to go to the graveyard if she was looking for a grave, but she insisted it was someplace else. For 200 Kinah I'd believe anything.

We never found it and she never came back, but she left the map. I kept it handy in case I saw her again.

Oh no...
I can do better than that. This map is onionskin, so I can just lay it atop the other.

It lines up perfectly! The Black Opal--and the gravesite Kirtai was looking for--is in a cave just over the hill. The Lepharists are close, but their map isn't detailed enough to show exactly where to go.

There's one problem, though: The cave isn't empty. You'll have to face Carak to get to the Black Opal. We lost a lot of raiders trying to kill Carak, but I'm sure you can do it, Player! Imagine the treasure...the stuff dreams are made of!






Yes! We're going to be rich! Rich!

All right, quickly now! Nab that pearl! Hurry to the cave, defeat Carak, and bring back the treasure from the cave!




Player returns, bearing unseemly amounts of treasure!

Right? You killed the Carak and brought me his treasure?

Tell me!
What?! You haven't gone yet?

Player, we're so close to being rich! I can taste the Kinah...not that I would eat it, you understand, just...

Just get on with it, will ya?
Give that here!

What? This is it?!

This is a fake! I couldn't sell this in Aldelle, never mind Pandaemonium. Where's the power? The power!

All that trouble for nothing! I can't believe it. Keep the thing, Player--there's some residual magic in there. It's nothing to me.
