Officially we're assisting Feles in her research of the region. Don't look so surprised--we can be smart as well as strong, you know!

In reality, though, we've been spending most of our time keeping Feles alive. Did she tell you she was attacked by a Strigik? That was a strong one.

This whole blasted forest is full of hazards. And it's not just the Strigik!

• "But isn't this the Strigik Forest?"

That's what I thought! But did you know there are Mosbear-like things and Moonflowers in Balaurea too? We've fought our share of those.

The Angry Bosbears and Patient Moonflowers are seriously hampering our progress in numerous ways.

I've heard of your reputation. Care to prove it by getting rid of some Bosbears and Moonflowers for us?

• Accept.
• Decline.

Follow this trail and the Angry Bosbears and Patient Moonflowers will come to you soon enough.

Azphel knows they seem to descend every time we try to advance.

I'd wish you luck, but if your reputation holds true, you won't need it.

• "I certainly won't."

Bosbears and Moonflowers are blocking the entrance to Strigik Forest, hindering attempts to survey the forest. Help Varca by killing the Bosbears and Moonflowers.

And to think Kantele was complaining that research duty would be boring! I think I've seen more action on this assignment than I have my last three Abyss patrols!

You look like you've experienced what we did. Any luck with the local wildlife?

• "The wild kingdom's been deposed."

You're as good as they say. Glad to hear it--we need more Daevas like you fighting for Asmodae.

Now maybe we can actually assist Feles in some way other than keeping death at bay.

Take this--you've saved us enough time and effort to more than make up for what I'm giving you.

Varca complained that she was so busy fighting creatures in the Strigik Forest, it was interfering with her ability to help Feles' research.

At her request, you hunted down Angry Bosbears and Patient Moonflowers. She rewarded you well for your help.
