There's something rotten in Eltnen, I fear, something scaly.

Yesterday, near Kuriullu Mountain, I came across some people. They were Lepharist Revolutionaries, so I hid 'til they passed.

But among the Lepharists were...others.

• "Other men?"

No! Greenish monsters, with a fish's head. I've seen my share of creatures, but nothing like these. They called them 'Pretor,' but....

I must identify them! They're from somewhere, but why? To what end?

You must help me, Daeva.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Well, trap some Pretor Looters and bring some Pretor Skin back here.

With at least ten samples, I can likely deduce their origins.

From that, we may learn why they were brought.

• "I'll see to it."

Esaias saw some Lepharist Revolutionaries with a strange creature. Bring him tissue samples from the 'Pretor.'

Ah, the Pretor Skin!

Did you see? Such strange, corrupted creatures!

I hope you're all right. Such sharp teeth!

• "I hope it's enough."

Oh. Was ten bits of Pretor Skin too many? Hmmm....

Blast. No, this requires destructive tests, so I'm afraid ten's the minimum.

You can do this, Daeva.

• "One more try...."

Eeeugh. Filthy stuff.

But there's enough here to study.

Let's hope it tells us something.

Esaias saw some Lepharists with a strange beast, a Pretor, and was concerned at what it might be for. It is vital, he said, to find out.

You obtained skin samples from the Pretor Looters and brought them to Esaias.
