The Petralith remnants you brought have been sent to Vellun.

Research hasn’t started yet, but it’s true that this has dumped a lot of work on us.

• You keep listening.

At a time like this, a smith who is good with Petraliths or machines would be a great help...

By the way, their whereabouts have recently become unknown.

He’s the sort of person who talks a lot and likes to make a show of himself...

• You keep listening.

Note: Meet the servant Javis at Helline’s request.

Still, it would be a great help if he would support us.

Could you find the smith Starket and ask him to help with the Petralith research?

The smith’s servant, Javis, will probably know Starket’s whereabouts.

• You end the conversation.

A question, Daeva!

Have you perhaps seen my master?

Starket is a master armourer. He said he was just going to the Naduka Biolab, but he hasn’t returned since.

• You keep listening.

You’ve come this far to find my master.

It will probably be difficult otherwise...

Would you perhaps search for my master with us?

• You keep listening.

My master is capable in many ways, so nothing terrible should have happened, but I’m worried he may have been captured by the Balaur.

If Starket is being held captive, please free him.

Please.

• You end the conversation.

Erm, are you an Asmodian?

Praise Azphel! An Asmodian! Oh, Aion, I had given up hope of ever seeing a friendly face again. I heard how you fought the Balaur. You really did a thorough job!

Not that this is the time or place for us to be patting each other on the back.

We have to get out of here.

• ‘What’s all this about?’

The Tiamat Legion appears to be researching biological weapons. I was horrified and...

No, it’s not that he’s being held; he could theoretically free himself at any time...

If only you would help us a little.

• You keep listening.

Forget the idea of destroying this prison. Even strong things won’t bring this wall down.

I’m familiar with most materials, but this stuff is new to me. It blocks all life forms except Balaur. In other words: unless I myself become a Balaur, I cannot blast this prison open.

In that case, fetch me Balaur Limbcleaver and Improved Balic Armour. If you put those on and transform into a Drakan, you might be able to get through the wall.

Would you do that for me?

• You end the conversation.

It’s not often I can just sit back and watch an Asmodian.

It was a pleasure, though of course I would have preferred to fight at your side.

Have you brought the Balaur Limbcleaver and Improved Balic Armour? Hand them over.

• This here...

(He makes noises as he puts on helmet and weapon) Ugh, the energy, the energy.

Bam-bam-bam bam-bam-bam bam-bam!

• You keep listening.

Well, now it’s almost done.

How about we put on the Balaur Limbcleaver and the Improved Balic Armour and use this device to get you out of here?

Hold on to me! This will shake a bit!

• You end the conversation.

Hehe! How is it? Do I look like a Drakan?

It was rather rough, but breaking out of the Balaur prison was a success!

Oh, put the weapon away. The disguise seems to have worked well.

• You keep listening.

I tested staring at the Balaur and the settlers, but they didn’t notice that I’m a Daeva.

The experiment to make the Balaur’s weapons and armour mine was a complete success!

Armour expert Starket’s skills haven’t diminished!

• You keep listening.

Now that I’ve disguised myself as a Drakan, I should investigate this place further.

Pin it on our annoying servant Javis.

I’ll acquire it by natural means. Tell him to simply take it to the fortress.

• You end the conversation.

Did master say he was disguising himself as a Drakan and would stay here to continue his research?

(scratching his head) Hmm... that’s annoying.

• You keep listening.

No, no, I’m not worried about your master’s standing; it’s not as if he’s such a strange person that he couldn’t handle a weapon.

I only learned that your master has a date with his girlfriend tonight for the first time in a long while, so I’m a little concerned...

Thank you very much for your help.

I’ll wait a bit longer and then leave. You go on ahead.

• You keep listening.

Have you come from the Naduka Biolab?

Was there a Daeva dispatched there?

• You explain what happened in the meantime.

Well, it’s probably that blacksmith again.

He’s quite a troublemaker... but since he’s taken over the investigation of the laboratory, the matter will be resolved somehow.

That’s just the sort of person he is.

It’s a shame it didn’t work out, but it was still a good experience.

The Dramata tracker Helline said Starket is the right person to investigate the Jotuns and the Petraliths.

However, she said his whereabouts were unknown and advised you to pose as the blacksmith’s servant to find Starket.

Starket and servant Javis could be found in the Naduka Biolab, but they had been captured by the Balaur; Starket had fallen into captivity and the Balaur’s research records had disappeared.

Starket, who had stolen Balaur weapons and records, had escaped and handed the documents to the servant.

Javis decided to cancel the evening meeting with Starket and lowered his hand.

After you had told Ankea about the incident at the Naduka Biolab, Tonistar said it was such a person, so you shouldn’t have to worry.
