Oh, this is bad, nyerk! This is really bad. Why do all things bad happen to Yogorunerk?

Player: "What's the matter?"

Sororunerk has gone. Didn't trust him, knew he was no good.

Sent him to scout Dirmoi Pass, and now he's gone to sell Meniherk secrets to Black Cloud, nyerk.

Player: "What makes you so sure?"

Whiskers twitching, bristling. Whiskers never lie.

If Black Cloud comes, Black Cloud steal all valuables in ruins. Sanctum won't be happy, no.

Daeva find Sororunerk? Stop him before he finds Black Cloud.

Player: Accept.

Look in Dirmoi Pass. Pick up his trail.

Hurry fast, Daeva--before he gets far.

Player: "I'll catch the furry ruffian."

(This must be the Shugo you're looking for. He seems to have been dead for a while.)

Player: "I'd better search him."

(You find a crumpled piece of paper that says "Excavation Site Inspection Chart.")

(You'd better take it to Yugorunerk.)

Player: "Return to the Aether, Shugo."

Sororunerk got away?

Player: "Not very far."

Maybe Sororunerk didn't go to Black Cloud after all, then.

Or maybe he planned on doing it but died first.

Tough to say.
