- MenrikI'll go check on the legionnaires myself. The only problem is I have no gear to give them...
- Please seize some weapons and supplies from nearby Draconutes.
- NemonMeet me at the Hidden Cave once you have them.
- Let's go, Daeva.
- Phew...
- Ugh...

- Phew... We barely made it.
- Is everyone okay?
- MenrikThere you are, Daeva! Everyone was hiding here, just like I thought.
- They're not in the best condition, but at least they're alive.
- Did you bring enough supplies? All right, let's start handing them out.
- KiaraOdyle Jelly? No, I'll manage fine without. Please give it to someone who needs it more.
- Is Ivar still unconscious? He's the only one who knows about the underkeep...
- Ivar was leading the rescue team while I secured an escape route.
- The battle was already over by the time I joined them. The best I could do was save Ivar and a couple others.
- Ivar will wake up soon enough, and everyone else is still breathing. Don't lose hope, we've gotten through worse than this.
- SkadinWow! Odyle Jelly! It's been so long!
- We've had nothing but maggoty bread for weeks. We knew better than to eat Tarzel...
- I was beginning to wonder if even a Daeva could starve to death.
- You're searching for someone in Dranactus Underkeep? Well good luck finding it, nobody taken there ever makes it out alive to point the way.
- Lind*sigh* Thank you so much. I thought I was going to die a slave of the Balaur, but you saved me.
- Dranactus Underkeep? I hear only Daeva good for information or other uses are kept there.
- I'm nothing special, so I was just stuck on hard labor.
- There was one laborer who came back from the underkeep, actually, but the torture did a real number on him. He can hardly string two sentences together.
- If there's someone you want to rescue... you should hurry.
- MenrikIvar still hasn't woken up, but his skin has some color now, at least. And he's breathing more steadily.
- Have you learned anything about the underkeep?
- As expected, there wasn't much they could teach us. Ivar is our only hope.
- We need to get everyone out... But we can't evacuate them all to the shelter in this state.
- How can we rescue everyone safely...?
- UlgornHow about transforming 'em? If they all look like Balaur, it'll be much easier for several to leave at once.
- MenrikThat's not a bad idea. We shouldn't get caught as long as we space the groups out.
- UlgornI'll take lead on that. You're busy enough as is, Menrik.
- MenrikThank you. Can you gather materials for the transformations, then? We'll need clothes and biological tissue from the Balaur outside.
- UlgornOh, and one more thing. Grab a patrol log if you can to help us avoid detection.
- Found no patrol logs.
- Aha, you're here!
- They...
- MenrikIvar woke up just now. You should listen to what he has to say.
- Ivar. Please continue where you left off.
- IvarSo... I heard that mad laborer rambling about the underkeep again, and he mentioned something about a Destruction Archon.
- Kanir and a couple others went into the underkeep to confirm it. She insisted it was the only way to make sure…
- We agreed to meet back up at this location, but she never returned. So I went into the underkeep myself to look for her, but…
- Forgive me, Captain.
- MenrikDon't be like that. I'm just grateful you've survived. So, where can we find this underkeep?
- IvarIn the very center of the Balaur base, across the bridge. It's deep inside the cliff and there's only one entrance, with extremely strict security.
- Kanir and the others must still be alive. The Balaur probably hope to squeeze intel on our legion from them.
- MenrikThey won't hold up long under Balaur torture. I'll get them out of there, trust me.
- UlgornYou can leave Ivar and the rest to me.
- NemonBe careful, Ulgorn. It'll be risky with everyone in such poor condition.
- UlgornWorry about yourself, Nemon. You're the one about to break into a Balaur prison.
- Don't be too reckless in there. You're far more important than some Destruction Archon.
- Prioritize your own life before anything else.
- NemonYou worry too much.
- Next time you see me, I'll have Reuben in tow. Count on that.
