The Enveloping Darkness

We've been assigned a mission by Admiral Keucereus, commander of this Alliance Base. But it's so dangerous that we haven't had anyone volunteer. Adventurer, will you take it on?

• "Tell me what it is first."

We've been assigned a mission by Admiral Keucereus, commander of this Alliance Base. But it's so dangerous that we haven't had anyone volunteer.

What? You're interested? Uh, no thanks. You wouldn't last long! Thanks for the offer, though.

(Only characters who are level 75 and above are permitted to undertake this quest.)

Thank you! I heard Admiral Keucereus was very pleased.

(You have already completed this quest.)

To the west of Keucereus Alliance Base lies a place called the Seed of Destruction. It is ruled by the lord of the Dragon Race.

We have sent many scouts to gather information about the Seed, but few of them ever returned. The rest were too afraid to venture deeply into the area. Obviously we cannot wage war effectively if we know so little about our enemy.

That's why we need your help to gather information about the Seed. Will you do it?

• "I'll help you. What should I do?"

Ah! Thank you! You are the answer to our prayers.

I won't lie to you -- this is going to be a very difficult mission. Before you go, I'd advise you to go talk to Soldier El. He accompanied a group of researchers into the Seed of Destruction. He is the only person, in fact, who has been to the deepest dungeon of the Seed of Destruction and come back alive. Others...have not been as fortunate.

You can find Soldier El in the center of the fortress.

In learning additional information about the mission, speak to Soldier El.

You can find him near the center of the fortress.

I heard that you are carrying out a mission you on behalf of Soldier El. Do you have any business with me? El is in the center of the fortress, if you need to find him.

You have completed your mission! Excellent! Here is the reward El promised you.

Hey, I'm injured here! Ask a healthy soldier and leave me alone! It's bad enought that I couldn't sleep because of a nightmare.

• "Orbyu sent me."

Thanks to you I can now look at the faces of my friends in heaven. I feel stronger already. Thank you!

(You have already completed this quest.)

Obryu sent you? He just can't leave well enough alone.

Yes, as you can see I'm the sole survivor of that troop. Do you know what that means? I fled to save my own miserable life while my fellow soldiers were dying. I'm a coward. And we failed to accomplish the mission. Now every night I have nightmares about my dead friends. I should have died there...

• "What happened?"

We were sent to protect the group dispatched to investigate the Seed of Destruction. We were part of a large force and felt invincible. At first everything went well.

Then...we were attacked by the Mounted Troop. We kept fighting in order to complete our mission. While some of us kept up a rearguard defense, a few others tried to deliver the documents containing records of our investigation to the fortress. Inspector Medibal and I were ordered to deliver them. Thanks to our soldiers' efforts we were able to get out...barely. But as we were almost clear, Medibal and I were both hit. And...and I couldn't grab the inspection documents he was holding. I betrayed the trust of my comrades. I failed them...

• "But surely we can recover the documents?"

I thought about that. But I'm too injured. And even if I weren't, I'm not sure I could go back there. I've never been so scared in all my life....

Why are you so interested? I guess you came here looking for information about the Seed of Destruction, eh? Well, if you coud recover that document, you'd get all the information we currently have about the Seed.

Perhaps you can help me...

It won't bring our dead soldiers back, but completing that mission will restore their honor -- and mine. You'd have my eternal gratitude.

• "Leave it to me."

Very well. I'll put my trust in you. Help me restore our honor.

Find Medibal's corpse in the Seed of Destruction and retrieve Inspector Medibal's documents from his chest.

Help me restore our honor by completing our mission.

Find Medibal's corpse in the Seed of Destruction and retrieve Inspector Medibal's documents from his chest.

Have you returned? Did you bring the documents?

• "I found the documents just where you said they would be."

Thank you! You have restored the honor of my fallen comrades and myself. I won't forget your help. If you take those documents to Soldier Orbyu, I know he will reward you as well. The money that was promised to us will be given to you by right. You've earned it!

Thank you for restoring the honor of my fallen comrades and myself. If you haven't received a reward yet, go to Soldier Orbyu. I already told him that the money that was promised to us for completing the mission should be given to you.

(You find a document after searching his chest.)

(This is the corpse of Inspector Medibal, who was dispatched to investigate the Seed of Destruction. Apparently he is now at rest.)

(You have already completed this quest.)

(Nothing comes out now.)
