Story
The offer
I chose that spot for my laboratory because it was quiet and remote, a place where only Spirits lived.
And then they attacked! I had to leave all my research behind, my tools, my notes! But I can't give up now....
- "What do you need to begin again?"
Well, it’s always best to start simply. I’m going to need a lot of ingredients to get my research back up and running.
I’ve started with the simplest ingredients.
Arachna Poison, which is the basis for much of my work, is everywhere.
But I’m in no position to gather it just now. Daeva, will you please help me?
- Accept.
- Decline.
Thank you for helping me, Daeva!
Grove Arachna’s poison is a very effective medicinal substance. Fortunately, it’s abundant locally.
Please bring me as much Arachna Poison as you can get.
- "I'll be back before you can say 'Arachna.'"
Journal
Kistig had to leave the laboratory because of the Spirits, but now he wants to restart his research. Hunt Grove Arachnas and take their Arachna Poison to him so that he can continue his research.
Along the way
Do you have the Arachna Poison?
I’ve been listing what I need to restart my research.
The list is longer than I realised.
How am I supposed to find the time to collect all that and pick up my research again?
- "Here you go. Nasty critters, Arachnas."
Haven’t you left to get the poison yet?
You don’t understand, do you Daeva?
Arachna Poison is crucial to my work! If I invent a medicine that can increase flight time dramatically... you can imagine the benefits!
But I need to set up a laboratory again so I can continue the research.
Please hunt those Grove Arachna and bring me the Arachna Poison.
- "I didn't understand. On my way!"
Reward
Nasty? They are indeed.
Yes! This is the Arachna Poison I need! Thank you for procuring it so quickly!
It will be useful to you someday, Daeva.
Completion
Kistig had to leave his laboratory and seek shelter elsewhere because of aggressive Spirits.
Although he wanted to restart his research, he had difficulty in procuring research materials and ingredients. He decided to collect the easily available ingredients first and asked you to bring him Arachna Poison.
You hunted Grove Arachnas and took the Poison to him. He thanked you for helping him restart his research.
