Vera, Gulf of Gunthak

"Why hello there. It's quite a sunny day out here upon the rocks of Broken Skull, wouldn't you agree? It's nowhere near as hot as the temple of Solusek Ro, though. The breeze here is quite refreshing. To be honest, though, I already miss home and wish to return back as soon as I can. These pirates are quite dirty and smelly, but I must complete my [mission] before I return home."

"Oh look what you've done! I had kept my robe so clean the entire trip here too!"

"My twin sister, Vira, has developed quite an illness and is confined to her quarters back in the temple. The clerics are baffled by it. At one moment she is hot and raging to the touch and the next she is as cold as the deep sea. If such an illness is impossible for the priests to cure, I must cure her in the only way I know how. I came out here to investigate the way the waters of Gunthak cool the hot lava coming from under the volcano of Broken Skull. The mixing of these two elements sometimes causes powerful elementals to manifest themselves here. I have a feeling that, by mixing the elements of the sea and the elements of the lava, I can make a potion that will soothe my sister. [Will you help] me?"

"Wonderful! The luggalds of this area make sport of the elementals that are birthed here. They take the life flickers of these elementals for hateful sacrifice to their foul god. Go and dispatch these followers of hate and return to me a flicker of lava and a flicker of sea. Please hurry! I know not how long my sister can hold out!"

"Thank you. Apparently, from rumors I have heard here in the lighthouse, the luggalds use some form of serum to harness the minds of the pirates and make them into slaves. Not only do they control the slaves, but they have also found a way to make them stronger. I suspect if you could get me some of the substance that the luggalds use to stoke the flames of strength in their slaves, I could find a way to transform it into a form we could use on the elementals of our craft. Are you willing to take a chance and make a [dangerous journey]?"

"Then journey deep into the mines of Torgiran and look for an elemental power on luggalds in the mines. Bring me three of the elements they use. I suspect they harness its power from the giant seam of lava splitting the mines."

"Thank goodness my sister is feeling better. While you were gone, I was able to figure out the exact healing power of the flicker liquid. I have transcribed it on this piece of parchment. Here, memorize this and may it serve you well. Now, if I can just figure out what sustains the lava elementals of Broken Skull. If you are up to it, I could use some [more assistance]."

"I don't need this."
