Proteri Amari, Barindu, Hanging Gardens

"Yes … Talwin. He and I were becoming fast friends until Ixvet took him. I am not sure what has happend to him, but if you would be [interested] in helping me I may be able to assist you in return."

"Good, good. As you may have noticed, the majority of these creatures are brutish types best suited for destruction. They are kept under control solely by strong [leadership]."

"The one who controls this area of the city goes by the name Ixvet Pox. She's as cruel as the rest, but considerably more intelligent which makes her even more dangerous. Fortunately, she's grown complacent and that gives us an [opportunity]. If we can destroy Ixvet, it will throw this area into chaos and we should be able to escape before order is restored."

"I've managed to get someone loyal to our cause placed within Ixvet Pox's entourage of personal servants and a skilled herbalist tends to her favorite fruits in the gardens. We will use this connection to poison the tyrant. Go talk with Kunimi Falade. You can find her working on the Hanging Gardens. Give her this ring as proof that you are there with my blessing and she will tell you what she needs."

"I heard what you did for Kayin and Njanu. When you help my brothers and sisters, you help me as well. You have my thanks. Njanu was correct about this ring. It holds magic deep within the rock.' Proteri Amari holds the ring between his hands and whispers to the stone. Glancing up, he says, 'It's all about knowing how to convince the stone that it wants to awaken.' When he opens his hands, the ring seems to glow from within. Proteri Amari says 'There you go. Again, thank you for your aid and take care with that ring. When the stone is freshly awakened, it tends to be a bit fragile."

"I knew Kunimi would come through! Our day of escape is almost here. Take this to Abena Taifa. She is the servant who brings Ixvet his meals and is loyal to our cause."

"Vasha told me what you did for her and I extend you my thanks as well. The bracelet she gave you is special beyond its emotional value. I sensed some magic locked away within the stone ages ago."

"It's all about knowing how to convince the stone that it wants to awaken. When he opens his hands, the bracelet seems to glow from within."

"There you are. Again, thank you for your aid and take care with that bracelet. When the stone is freshly awakened, it tends to be a bit fragile."
