Story

The offer

Humans lived on their own long before Daevas came along. We were much weaker than Balaur, but we held our own.

Things are different now. We've forgotten how to fight for ourselves.

I kept insisting that we shouldn't rely solely on Daevas, but no one listened. Now we're homeless, freezing, and afraid.

  • "I admire your spirit."

The Watch is getting stronger, but we need better armour. A Daeva doesn't really die, but we do!

Better protection for our warriors would make a stronger community for us all.

So I’m planning to craft armour from solid, rugged materials for our Watch members.

  • "A fine plan."

Hard carapace would be a good armour material... The problem is Alukina's Palace is the only place I know to get it.

Or, rather, for you to get it. Humans can't go there.

Would you help me collect Hard Carapaces so that I can craft new armour for the Watch?

  • Accept.
  • Decline.

I really appreciate this. I'm going to need the Hard Carapaces of Sea Potcrabs and Deep Sea Lobnites for the armour.

You know if I could get inside the palace myself, I would.

Once I have good armour, I won't need to beg favours from passing Daevas.

  • "Happy to help."

Journal

Benyar argues that Humans need stronger armour to protect themselves. Go to Alukina's Palace and hunt the Sea Potcrabs and Deep Sea Lobnites to collect their hard carapaces to make the armour.

Along the way

Once we're equipped with strong armour, the Watch will have little to fear.

Hopefully, other Humans will look to our example, and strengthen themselves and organize for their own defence.

Speaking of armour, Did you get the Hard Carapaces I asked for?

  • "As requested."

Did you forget about the Hard Carapaces or what?

Perhaps I should never have asked for Daevic help. I'd be better off with the Shugos.

If you won't help me, just be honest. I won't hold you in any more contempt...than I do already.

  • "Fear not, I'll help."

Reward

You've turned out to be surprisingly useful, Daeva.

If you ever have reason to head back to Alukina's Palace, feel free to bring more carapaces. I can always use them.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some armor to make.

Completion

Benyar argued that the Watch needed stronger armor to protect residents without the aid of Daevas.

To prove not all Daevas are dunderheads, you went to Alukina's Palace, hunted the Sea Potcrabs and Deep Sea Lobnites, and collected their hard carapaces. Benyar said he would always need more, and welcomed your aid in the future.
