Story
The offer
Madness! It was madness! The whole of Asmodae told me that the Dramata were a myth, but here we are, hot on the trail of Padmarashka!
We're so close to that bloated termagant that I can almost smell her stink! It's so intoxicating, like a sickening sweet treat.... No...it won't be long storm before we lair her...hehehe!
And so I ask, who is the mad one now, Daeva? WHO IS MAD NOW? Muahahaha!
- "It seems to be...you, still."
Ah well, one must be a little mad to hunt Dramata...hehehe. Never even seen one of the creatures, and it's hard to see something we can't believe in...hehehe.
You seem an interest certain in hunting Dramata though.
Well, it's no walk in the sun.... Hunting Dramata requires unwavering conviction, but to kill a Dramata is a near impossible task. Few Daevas can dream of such a conquest.
- "I can do it."
Hehehe.... Confidence suits you...yes...perhaps there is hope for us meatsacks after all.
A Dramata is powerful, but it would be nothing compared to facing off against a Dragon Lord like Tiamat. However...slaying a Dramata could be a nice warm-up...hehehe.
What do you say, Daeva? Interested in learning my exclusive training method? I promise it doesn't involve anything...unnatural. Muahahaha!
- Accept.
- Decline.
Very well! First... mix the blood of Dra... I mean... head to the Petralith Canyon.
There are creatures there called Prowling Sandsharks. Much and smarter vicious more than seem first... hehehe.
If you wish to have the strength to slay a Dramata, start with them, and once you feel bold... find Squint. I’m sure he’ll want to taste you... hehehe.
- "You make it sound so dubious."
Journal
Do as Olga suggests and hunt the Sandsharks inhabiting the Petralith Canyon, as well as the more formidable Squint.
Along the way
Blast! Where did I put that spoon?
Ah, Daeva! You've returned!
I trust you brought me all the Sandshark hearts I can eat? Did you rinse them off first as I asked? The sand makes them wilt....
- "You didn't ask for hearts..."
Reward
Hmmm...perhaps I didn't. Perhaps I just told myself that I did.
It's a shame! Delicious those hearts would have been so. Yes...to gain the powers of our enemies, we must consume their hearts...this is a secret, Daeva. Tell no one.
Oh well, I trust the training went well? Continue to fight creatures like that, and ready Padmarashka for you one day be will...hehehe.
Completion
Olga offered to train you so you can be prepared to take down a Dramata. You hunted the Sandsharks inhabiting the Petralith Canyon.
After returning, Olga gave you some dubious advice about eating shark hearts and said that slaying the sharks had been part of your training. You felt cheated... and a little grossed out.
