Erenville 	Those little devils are quick as sin and twice as hard to catch. I suppose I had better start searching...
 	
Krile 	We would do well to learn more of what, specifically, the gleaners are being tasked to do, as well as who has tasked them to do it.
Krile 	If you're game, [Player Name], I have an idea...
Krile 	Didn't one of the gleaners you questioned say something about escaped marmots?
Krile 	Perhaps if you were to help him capture said creatures, he might be inclined towards a more friendly and enlightening conversation...
Krile 	In the meantime, I will turn my charms upon this gleaner here. We can compare notes afterwards. Happy hunting!
 	
Krile 	Terribly sorry to disturb you! I need to submit this report of mine, and quickly─it's a bit overdue. Could you remind me of the approximate date the guildship was enlisted to help facilitate this most recent operation?
 	
Erenville 	You wish to help me find the marmots? I've nothing suitable to pay you for your services, but if you're offering out of the goodness of your heart, I'd welcome the assistance.
Erenville 	The name is Erenville, friend. Specialist in the collection of live specimens.
Erenville 	That said, the capture of these Nagxian marmots is a trial I've no desire to repeat. “Grizzled mice,” they call them.
Erenville 	For a mercy, there are no other marmot species on this tier at present, so there should be no mistaking our little fugitives. If you happen to catch any, stuff them in this sack. Gently, of course.
Erenville 	Where to begin, you wonder? I've not seen any scampering around here, so we'll need to widen our search into the surrounding forest.
Erenville 	Be on your guard. There are beasts out there that won't hesitate to prey on a marmot─or you.
Erenville 	I'll search the trees to the west. The eastern part of the forest is all yours. Good luck.

Erenville 	How did you fare? I tracked down three of the pack, which leaves one unaccounted for...
Erenville 	Ah, there's the odd marmot out.
Erenville 	Wait here a moment while I put our friends in a holding cage.
Erenville 	Thankfully, the marmots seem to be unharmed. They've held up well in isolation, but it's much too soon to release them into the habitat.
Erenville 	It's a good thing we were able to recapture them so swiftly. You have my thanks.
 	
Erenville 	Why, the authority in charge of Labyrinthos, now and in perpetuity. The same officials who've had us working day and night of late─the honorable members of the Forum, who else?
Erenville 	Suitable for consumption and easy to breed─those were the two conditions I was given for the stock I was instructed to procure.
Erenville 	That's for the Forum to decide. They are the guiding authority behind Labyrinthos after all, and this job was but one small part of this great inventory of theirs.
Erenville 	Suitable for consumption and easy to breed─those were the two conditions I was given for the stock I was instructed to procure.
Erenville 	I don't know what the Forum has planned for these creatures, but at the very least, I doubt they'll be served for dinner today or tomorrow.
Alisaie 	There you are, [Player Name].
Krile 	Is this the gleaner you mentioned? The one who was looking for lost marmots?
Erenville 	Interesting company you keep, friend. Who are you folk, anyway?
Krile 	I am Krile of the Students of Baldesion. These others are my associates.
Krile 	Truth be told, the Forum's decisions of late have not sat entirely well with us. That is why we made the descent into Labyrinthos─we hoped that by seeing those decisions put into action, we might more fully understand their reasoning.
Erenville 	Wise and practical. Never hurts to try and gain a broader perspective, does it?
Erenville 	Anyway, duty calls─other animals to capture and enclosures to empty. Once again, I'm sorry that I can't offer you more for your services.
Krile 	Did you learn anything new from your friend there?
Krile 	So we've confirmed that the order for this ambitious operation did indeed come directly from the Forum. However, the gleaners have not been informed of its purpose...
Krile 	I'd say that fits with everything we've heard thus far.
Alphinaud 	We also discovered when the operation was begun. The Forum contacted the gleaners' guildship and put their people to this great work some four days after the Telophoroi made their chilling declaration.
Alphinaud 	As seasoned travelers, the gleaners keep abreast of news from every corner of the world out of necessity. Thus am I inclined to trust that their calendar of events is accurate.
Yshtola 	Altogether, it gives the distinct impression that this undertaking was a sudden and unexpected development...
Yshtola 	Yet I find it hard to believe that such a comprehensive restructuring of Labyrinthos and its archives could have been planned in so brief a window.
Yshtola 	Nay, this plan was long in the making─they were but awaiting the right time to put it into effect.
Alisaie 	And the Telophoroi's declaration was what set it all in motion?
Yshtola 	It seems likely. But let us not leap to conclusions just yet.
Yshtola 	For the moment, I suggest we conduct a wider investigation of Labyrinthos. The more facilities we visit, the more pieces of the puzzle we stand to find.
Krile 	In that case, how about we head to the Archeion? From there, we can reach the lower─
Alisaie 	Krile! What's wrong!?
Krile 	I'm fine...truly. The sudden descent has left me with a bit of headache, that's all.
Krile 	Nothing that will stop me from soldiering on. Let's be about it, then!
Alphinaud 	At least allow me to take the lead. I'm fairly certain I remember the way to the Archeion.
Alphinaud 	We follow the path east, through the forest where you were chasing after that mouse...or marmot, was it? Anyway, 'tis the trolls you need to watch out for!
 	
Alisaie 	Were you caught in mist on your way here? The sprayers keep the air humid, so the habitat feels as close as possible to a natural forest.
 	
Yshtola 	This is the foremost material archive in Sharlayan. I should love to explore its treasures shelf by shelf, but I fear we have little time for such indulgences.
 	
Krile 	Don't worry about me, I'm hale and healthy! In fact, I'm beginning to suspect that...
Krile 	...Nay, let's discuss this later. The investigation demands our undivided attention.
 	
Alphinaud 	Behold, the Archeion. As Noumenon serves as Sharlayan's literary archive, so does this structure house the city's wealth of material data.
Alphinaud 	The architecture, too, is similar. This building you see is merely the upper entrance─an access point to the vaults carved into the cliffside itself.
Alphinaud 	Within those vast rooms are stored countless samples and specimens, as well as the detailed records which describe them.
Alphinaud 	In a manner of speaking, the Archeion contains a physical history of Sharlayan's unwavering dedication to the accumulation of knowledge.
