Script
Thanks for coming so quickly.

Samael has deployed the Justicars, his handpicked agents, to Ostgarath. It's the first time he's ever orderes the entire corps to one place.

He's up to something, and we're going to find out what. Our fame prevents us from intervening directly, but there are other ways, eh?

Good enthusiasm, but it's not that simple. Samael didn't get this far without a certain amount of paranoia.

Samael won't issue orders for Ostgarath to anyone he doesn't trust, but if someone else in the chain of command sent you... Consult with Priestess Ciebel. Perhaps she can facilitate the journey.

(I understand.)

Recommendation letter?

Anything to aid the cause of justice. We'll simply tell Samael that your unique skills are required in Ostgarath.

Even the general would not be so foolish as to deny a request from Velik. She doesn't appreciate it when mortals spurn her... suggestions.

The arc of your carrer is quite remarkable. We continue to watch with great interest.

(Thank you, Ciebel.)

So Ciebel is handling troop deployments now? You'd think praying to Velik would be a full-time job. She should leave military matters to soldiers. You don't see me kneeling before the huntress statue every morning, so you? If you're determined to get to Ostgarath, though, I won't stop you. Far be it from me to ignore orders from a goddess.

(I understand.)

Ciebel remains as subtle as ever. She takes a great interest in the most promising young soldiers. Head to Ostgarath and scope out the situation. Talk to the officers in Cutthroat Harbor and find Jelena, if possible. She has a talent for turning up in the most interesting places, eh?

(I understand.)

You're from the Valkyon Federation? I was starting to believe that was a myth. I mean, I can tell my children that the federation will protect us from the slave traders, but they're getting a little too old to find comfort in folktales. It's all we can do to keep order in the towns. My authority doesn't reach further that the end of my staff. And no, I haven't seen anyone named Jelena.

(What's with the Justicars?) OR (Any details of the Gula Slavers?) OR (Do you know anything about those suspicious...)

You're here to stay, right? We had a whole column of hard-looking soldiers march through here the other day, but they kept right on marching. Orders, they said. Off to Mistmoor Island they went. Weird place for the Justicars to go, but who really knows what they do.

(The justicars are here?)

It's not you, it's the justicars. My apologies.

You're friends with Elleon, aren't you? I can tell by your questions. What I have for you is...

Go to Arkaius. He's investigating the justicars.

(Right. Okay.)

Greetings, [player name]. I got the message, and the magistrate filled me in.

These justicars aren't at all interested in Cutthroat Harbor. Something suspicious is going on here...

(I think so too.)

We'll kook into these mysterious "sailors". They must be odd indeed to stand out in Cutthroat Harbor.

Meanwhile, focus on the justicars. Coordinate with Jelena. She's lurking around the outskirts of the harbor.

We must discover what they're after. Samael ordered them here for a reason. If it's good for him, it must be bad for us.

(I understand.)

Good to see you, [player name] Bruke and the justicars are definitely up to something on Mistmoor Island. I've "intercepted" a number of messengers recently. The messages are encoded, but the sheer volume of them suggest something big.

(What should I do?)

Your job is to check it out firsthand.

As far as I can get is the Vindicator Basecamp. But I can't go any further.

So it's up to you. Go to Fyrsil and find out where Bruke went.

(I understand.)

[player name]? I've heard about you from Samael. That you would come here to help the justicars.

Bruke is on a mission at Mistmoor Island. Head east and follow the shores.

You'll find him at Vindicator Basecamp. Go and help him.

(I understand.)

Look who it is? Our top prospect! Samael won't stop talking about you. I knew that you were a big shot!

I'm on a very important mission. I could use some help.

(I thought justicars didn't need help.)

What? You're not here to help me?

Come on, if this goes well, I promise you won't regret it.

We're about to do a big deal, so come along!

(I understand.)

Don't be alarmed - they're just gulas. We're here for business, not dinner. We're making a deal for a very important relic and I want you to retrieve it for me.

(Alright.)

The gulas want to control the setting, so they've chosen a site far from prying eyes. Use the teleportal. Do what you're told, for once.

(You'll see.)

Something doesn't feel right...It's all too easy. [player name] - Bruke might well have engineered a trap. Whether we find relics or not, we must quickly find out what the Justicars are up to and make it out of here alive. There's no time to waste. Use the teleportal and get to the rendezvous in the Mysterious Jungle. I'll call for reinforcements, but until then, you're on your own. Be careful!

(Words to live by.)

We're lucky to have made it out of there alive. Now, let's take a look at what we retrieved from Bruke.

Samael knew all along - this was a trap! We mustn't underestimate him again. Samael will no doubt seek retribution for this. We must hurry!

(Thank you.)

Summary Upon Completion
Elleon needed help proving that Samael is betraying the Valkyon Federation. Samael realized you were onto him and used Bruke to set up a trap, but you managed to escape.
