Daeva, since you've come all the way out here, would you like to earn some Kinah?

Oh, don't give me that look. It's nothing illegal, but keep it quiet, okay?

• "It's not illegal?"

Of course not. Ever seen a Snapping Spiner? They're all over the Outpost Ruins.

Right now, Plump Pincers are very popular in Sanctum. They sell faster than fried Sylphen!

See where I'm going with this?

• "I think so. Tell me more."

I have a vendor in Sanctum ready to buy a load of these things, but well, it’s against regulations for me to leave my post.

So if you catch Snapping Spiners and bring their Plump Pincers to me, I can pay you well and still sell them to my merchant friend at a profit.

It’s just like one hand washing the other, you see? What do you say? Could you bring me 15 of them?

• Accept.
• Decline.

It's a deal, then! Snapping Spiners are all over around the Outpost Ruins. Just bring me the pincers.

Oh, and if Heropres asks why you're hunting Spiners, don't mention my name whatever you do!

He'll just try to swoop in and take some of my profit!

• "It's our secret."

Gather Spiners' Plump Pincers, which fetch a high price on the market, and bring them to Novan.

That looks like the face of a successful hunter!

Are we looking at a good haul?

How many Plump Pincers did you get?

• "This many."

Huh? This isn't what we agreed on. The Shugo says we need at least fifteen to make it worth his while.

Fads in Sanctum come and go. If we miss this one, we'll have a lot of pincers smelling up the place.

Hurry!

• "Be right back."

Wow, do people really eat these things? I lived in Sanctum for a while, but I really don't understand the crazes.

Well, it doesn't matter if I like them, as long as they're profitable!

Here's your payment. I think you'll find it's more than enough.

Novan said that, if you bring Spiner pincers to him, he would buy them at a high price, since they're popular in Sanctum these days.

You went to the Outpost Ruins, hunted Spiners, and brought their Plump Pincers to him. Yum!
