Script
One of my scouts reported archdevan activity nearby in Verdantfire Rift. They are excavating something, but we do not know what.

Seek the scout; his name is Marat. He knows every archdevan camp and patrol in the area. He will know where to find what you seek.

Greetings, outlander. Welcome to our land.

I am sorry to say that I have not seen any sort of apparatus which might somehow affect the Storm Barrier, but I suspect that only their most trusted officers would know where it might be found.

Hm. As luck would have it, there is a high-ranking officer in their cave camp, just inside the Verdantfire Rift. Follow the path just over the hill, then look to your left. You should see the cave entrance.

(Let me handle this.)

What was that you...?

I feel odd... like I've drunk too much wine... are we at the beach yet? I want to work on my tan.

We can't stay long... I need to get back to the Energia Celo... it's my shift!

(I'll get you back. Where is it, again?)

The entrance... it always changes... need the shifting map...

(Right! The map! Where did you put it?)

It's inside this chest... but you should know that. Why don't you...?

Wait... who are you? How did you get in here?

(I'm no one... and I was just leaving.)

Oh, thank you, outlander!

But, please: There are more prisoners above. Do you see that ladder? They're all up there.

Please, you have to help them, too!

(Shh. I will, Don't worry.)

Free!

Thank you, stranger! You saved me!

(I'll draw them off. When I do - run!)

I'll help you fight them! Just... need to... get my strength back...

(Plenty of time for that later. I've got this.)

I was waiting for you, [player name]! Hagand told me about his research on the devastones you gathered for him.

He thinks the archdevas use it for their blood magic, which explains why they were so keen to protect it.

If we can find their lab, we can probably rescue some of their victims.

(I have a map to their laboratory.)

You know where it is? Excellent!

Maybe now we can get to the bottom of this...and re-enable the teleportal to Velika!

(You might be right. One way to find out.)

Summary Upon Completion
[player name] met a scout from the Baaldaz Post and learned the location of Archdeva Temporary Post. Using the truth needle, [player name] seized a dark magic map.
