Being a scholar is incredibly difficult. I don't have a proper research facility, I have to sleep out in the open, and I can't even afford to feed myself.

I'm headed to the fortress to ask for some kind of support, but my colleague Philon is still out here. His academic skills are unparalled, but he can't even hold a dagger steady.

There are some samples he needs for his work—if you can bring him a Longhorn Rynoce and some Rockyback Rynoce Skin, he won't have to leave camp and I won't worry as much about him while I'm gone.

Player: Accept

The devastation of Tiamat's Breath is everywhere....

Who are you? What is that in your hand?

Player: "Somebody told me you might want these."

Rophel asked you to bring me these, didn't he? He worries about me too much...I'm not that feeble....

Well, having these samples means that I can focus on an exciting project. You've heard the legend that Tiamat's breath turns everything into a stone, correct? There's no good research on it that exists, but I want to change that.

Player: "That sounds fascinating."

I appreciate your help, but I must go back to my research now. These samples won't examine themselves, you know!
