I've been waiting for you, Player! Word of your great deeds have reached my ears.

I'd requested support to deal with a troublesome matter, and I'm so glad that it's you who's come.

The Kobold are causing all sorts of problems here.

Player: "What do you mean?"

The Kobold have been rampaging through Daminu Forest, cutting down trees everywhere they go.

There aren't many trees around Deforested Area, where their den is, you see.

Anyway, because of them logging so heavily, people are having a hard time obtaining lumber and firewood.

Player: "I see."

Cutting down trees is one thing, but we simply can't let them invade Daminu Forest any further.

We must teach them a lesson to stop them from further violating the forest. We need to strike them directly at their den.

Go to Kabarah Strip Mine and cut down every Dukaki you come across.

I'll be counting on you.

Player: "Leave it to me."

You've dealt with the Dukakis already? Your skills are truly worthy of fame.

But there has been a serious development.

It appears that the Kobold had ulterior motives for doing all that logging.

Our scouts have reported that they are refining Odium!

They were cutting down trees to use as firewood.

Player: "Odium?"

Yes, the ore that contains Aether.

While there's no way the Kobold can use the power of Aether when even humans can't, but it's no ordinary matter if they manage to extract Aether.

Furthermore, those Dukakis are being supervised by the Krall. If the Krall are involved, that's even more of a reason to stop them.

Not only Akarios Village, but the entirety of Poeta could be in danger.

So, head to Kabarah Strip Mine immediately and eliminate the Tursin Big Boss.

It is paramount that we stop them from refining Odium.

Player: "Leave it to me."

Did you wipe out the Tursin Big Boss in Kabarah Strip Mine?

Excellent work.

The amount of Odium that they've already mined is concerning, but it's a relief that we've put an end to it.

Here, this is a reward for your efforts.
