You say, 'Hail, Torgarath Rulour Thox'
Torgarath Rulour Thox says, 'I do not know you mortal, but begone before I feed you to Luclin's mongrels. I just need to raise my voice a little bit to get their attention.'
Torgarath Rulour Thox says, 'You've done some great work for the refugee camp to the east. Perhaps you will be able to help me get to a further [understanding] of what is going on within the outpost.'
You say, 'understanding'
Torgarath Rulour Thox says, 'It is no surprise that the akheva in this valley have been experimenting again with vampyre blood. While Luclin already works in the shadows and sees everything that happens in the darkness, the akheva have taken it upon themselves to help her by using foul, twisted forms of divination that require a [sacrifice].''
You say, 'What kind of sacrifice?'
Torgarath Rulour Thox's face turns sour as he responds, 'Indeed, I was able to track down the how, but not the why. The form of divination they started using involves mixing akhevan blood with vampyre blood and bringing it to the scrying pool at the northeast side of the outpost. Are you willing to gather these [reagents]?'
You say, 'There's a gnome I've met who is an expert on reagents, maybe we could speak to...'
You have been assigned the task 'Gone, And Can't Be Forgotten'.
Torgarath Rulour Thox interrupts you, 'No! We cannot get more people involved in this. If this is Luclin's will, then we would only be dooming others unnecessarily. You have already proven yourself not only capable, but trustworthy of this task. What we need to do now is to ruin their ritual. Luckily, the akheva here believe those who are not tied to their cause are less intelligent. Their hubris will be their undoing. I need you to collect a vial of shadow wolf blood, some akheva blood from those performing the rituals, and finally some blood from a vampyre in this valley. Since none are willing to give up their blood at the mere asking, you will have to get aggressive for this part. Return the blood to me when you are ready to move forward.'
