Player, let's talk for a moment. It'll take my mind off my wounds.

Please, answer me this: Sapien history...does it interest you at all?

You're a mercenary, like me. We've spent most of our time here culling the local wildlife, and I've come to find the Poeta environs intriguing.

Player: "In what way?"

In every way, really! This region is remote, so it's seen few battles. As a result, there are undisturbed ruins here. And the animals...they're wonderful!

For instance...have you seen the Fearless Fungie? They're an amazing species unique to...one moment...

Nghh....

Damn that Worg....

Player: "Are you okay?"

I'm getting better. My fever has gone. The wound still...burns, though.

Anyway, I'd like to study the Fearless Fungie. Rumor has it that they were simple plants, transformed by the Cataclysm...mutated!

Will you help me study these creatures, Player? I'd like a few specimens. Or...rather, their hearts.

Player: Accept.

Excellent! I knew you had a curious mind.

The Fearless Fungies roam on the Agaric Spore Road. I'd like to have a few hearts for my anatomy sketchbook.

A scientific curiosity to ponder...while I heal. To think...a plant with a heart!

Player: "I'll be back soon. You just read and rest."

You're back!

Did you find...the Mushroom Hearts?

Player: "Are these okay?"

No, Player, Mushroom Hearts, fresh ones!

Please make sure you bring several, enough to see individual differences, you know.

I think I need to rest now....

Player: "Sorry! I'll keep looking."

Player, these are perfect!

Now I can study these and learn if they arose out of the Cataclysm...or natural evolution.... A perfect project to calm a fevered mind!

Thank you, friend. Please...take this as a token. I'll mention you in my paper, too.
