You go to the camp of the Hamazans of the Dead Seed to talk to Tinaera Rosirello
Tinaera Rosirello
You collect the Fine Izam Beak and return to speak to Ba'Roley Hathy
<Ba'Roley Hathy> So, what do you want to tell us?
Huh? It wasn't the Hamazans of the Dead Seed? But then who . . . ? All right, all right, I will try to stop the hostilities against them . . .
You kill 3 Dangerous Raguses and return to speak to Tinaera Rosirello
<Tinaera Rosirello> You are worthy of our respect. What did you want to say?
The evil that is attacking Maiden Grove does not originate with either of the tribes? But then . . . where does it come from? All right, we will cease our hostilities toward the Shadow Runners until this has been cleared up.
You return to Zora to speak to Vao Sai-Fuang
<Vao Sai-Fuang> I heard about the lower tension between the Hamazans of the Dead Seed and the Shadow Runners. You have done good work, [your name]. A battle on this already injured ground would have had disastrous consequences. You more than deserve this item.
She gives you a Zorai Bracelet
But now, we still need to find the real culprits . . . and this could get very dangerous.
I have a hypothesis about what is causing the trouble in Maiden Grove. go to Haven of Purity, kill a Parched Psykopla and bring me its moss.
Attention, [your name]! Haven of Purity is a very dangerous place. You may want to bring companions for this task.
You get the moss and return to Zora to talk to Vao Sai-Fuang
<Vao Sai-Fuang> Very good, [your name]. Let me examine this moss for a while . . .
Screen Message {Vao Sai-Fuang seems very disturbed by what she sees}
It is much more complicated than I thought. This evil was produced by very powerful magicians . . . but how did they do it?
Didn't you say the Shadow Runners have encountered homins at night? And if they weren't Hamazans of the Dead Seed, who are we looking for? Return to Ba'Roley Hathy and Tinaera Rosirello and ask them to watch the area.
You go to the camp of Hamazans of the Dead Seed to talk to Tinaera Rosirello
<Tinaera Rosirello> Watch the Maiden Grove? Sure, not a problem. Together we can perhaps get our hands on these people.
You go to the camp of the Shadow Runners to talk to Ba'Roley Hathy
<Ba'Roley Hathy> Watch the area? Again? All right, if it will help . . .
You return to talk to Ba'Roley Hathy
<Ba'Roley Hathy>
[your name]! We have identified these shady individuals! Men in black were spotted not far from here. They used some strange magic . . . frightening magic. We left quickly, but I am sure these are the people we are looking for.
You return to Zora to talk to Vao Sai-Fuang
<Vao Sai-Fuang> Men in black? Strange and frightening magic? Could it be . . . no, they would not go that far . . . but we'll need to make sure.
Yes, we will proceed with that. Here is a reward for you . . .
She gives you x10 q100 Constitution Flowers
If none of your fight skills is above 90, you get this message;
Before continuing, you need to train your fight skill some more.
You train you fight skill to 90 and return to talk to Vao Sai-Fuang
<Vao Sai-Fuang> The situation is beyond us; we will have to ask for help. I think that the Company of the Eternal Tree will be fully prepared to help us. I believe they have already started an investigation into the events, from their side.
Go bring them a sample of the Maiden Grove flora. Take these leaves that I have collected to the Company of the Eternal Tree. Be careful, the area is very dangerous, you may need help to go there.
You go to the camp of the Company of the Eternal Tree in Haven of Purity to talk to Icaps Xaphaan
<Icaps Xaphaan> Hello. Do you want to help us with the investigation into the pollution of Maiden Grove?
You give her the leaves from Vao Sai-Fuang
These leaves . . . yes, they are leaves from Maiden Grove. It seems you have much to say, [your name] . . . tell me everything.
There is a pause while you tell her everything
I see. You've done a lot, and, thanks to your help, I think that we'll finally be able to resolve this matter. With what you have told us, we think we have identified those responsible.
However, we must make one final check . . . you will be rewarded if you do it for us. Take this sphere, and place it where the Shadow Runners saw these individuals.
She gives you a magic sphere. You go to the camp of the Shadow Runners to ask where the men in black were seen
<Ba'Roley Hathy> Where they were spotted? South of our camp, there is a tunnel, the Great Boulder Tunnel. Go inside, when you exit you will come across a skeletal head. Follow the path, and you will find some stones. That's where they were . . .
You find the stones - its an altar of some kind. You place the sphere on the altar.
{Screen message} The sphere you gave Icaps Xaphaan begins to darken. Moments later, it has gone completely black.
You go back to the camp of the Company of the Eternal Tree in Haven of Purity to talk to Icaps Xaphaan
You give her the sphere
<Icaps Xaphaan> It turned dark. exactly as we thought. You have done well, [your name]. We will reward you now, but your task is incomplete. Come back when you have honed your fighting skills more, because the place where you have to go requires great courage.
She gives you Li'Tan-Ko Sleeves + Gloves
If none of your fight skills is above 100, you will get this message;
Before continuing, you need to train your fight skills some more.
You train your fight skills and return
<Icaps Xaphaan> [your name], I will now tell you what we have learned thanks to you. The darkening of the sphere that you have carried there comes from an easily identifiable form of magic; the Goo.
Obviously, they must be stopped. However . . . direct conflict is not advisable. They have mastered the magic of the Goo and a battle would cause irreperable damage to the nature we both want to protect.
I hope that you will bring them a meesage. Everything is in this letter. Bring it to their leader. Should they become aggressive, flee. But after reading, I very much doubt they will try anything . . .
The Black Circle tribe has a camp in Grove of Umbra. This is a dangerous place for you, [your name]. Try to find help before going there . . . unless you are feeling grand.
You go to the camp of the Black Circle to talk to the Tribe Chief, Ba'Wity Codgan
<Ba'Wity Codgan> What do you want, [your name]? You are not welcome here.
You give him the letter
Hmmm . . . Ah well, I guess we don't have much choice. Tell the one who wrote this letter that we will immediately stop those . . . activities of which he speaks.
You return to the camp of the Company of the Eternal Tree to talk to Icaps Xaphaan
<Icaps Xaphaan> I don't think we will have to worry about them for a while . . . and at the same time, the Maiden Grove has been rescued. You have done nature a great service, [your name]. Take this.
She gives you a chest containing special material
This is a special material coveted by both Hamazans of the Dead Seed and Shadow Runners. If you give it to one of these two tribes, it will surely bring you great returns.
I think the Shadow Runners have ranged weapons, while the Hamazans of the Dead Seed prefer melee weapons.
You take the chest to the tribe of your choice
This material, it's . . . You are very impressive, [your name]. This material is very valuable. Please accept this in return, I don't think you'll complain about this.
You are given either the Kanka Mace or the ranged weapon, depending on which tribe you gave the material to.
The mission is completed.
