As soon as you set foot in the Caverns several guards surround you, 'Come with us, or die where you stand.'
They lead you through a twisting maze of stone corridors until they push you into a small chamber where an impressive looking Genshaar Warrior stands guard.
The Warrior looks at you for a long moment in silence. You look back.
The Warrior then smiles, 'I see a fellow Warrior before us and you have give me the honor of friendship without fear. I am impressed, most trespassers cower before a Cutter. But you do not! I sense a purpose within you, what is it?' At that moment a bell starts to sound from your backpack.
It's impossible to ignore, so you drop your pack before the Cutter and open it. You are surprised to see the silly Mechano you were given by the Stormpost Guard suddenly rise out of the open pack and hover in front of the Cutter.
The Cutter looks very bored back at the ridiculous Droid, 'I see Stormpost sent you. The foolish robot is their choice of herald. It constantly amazes me that Sigma allows such stupid people to live. But who am I to argue with the way of things?' The Mechano spins round on an invisible axis, 'I am Zella, this Citizen of Stormpost is to be allowed untroubled access through the caverns please.' You heart begins to sink. From your time with the Dahon, Mutant Tribes don't tend to respond to platitudes. They respect action over words. The Cutter draws his weapon, 'I shall not bend my knee to a talking toy.'
You draw your own weapon, the movement is fluid and well practiced. It catches the guards and the Cutter completely off guard. In a tone dripping with venom you say, 'I see cowardice in your words. I shall test the Rad in your veins to see if you are worthy to breath in my presence. I shall return after 150 Warriors have bled before me. Do you agree Cutter, or shall you taste my judgment first?'
The Cutter looks past you, 'Prove you can take the blood you say you can. I doubt we shall speak again.'
Zella stops spinning and returns to your back pack.
You receive 1 x Stormpost Mechano
  	 	 		
The Genshaar Cutter eyes you warily, 'Have you bested 150 of our Warriors?'
The Cutter steps closer to you, 'This is a falsehood! You could not have taken 150 of us.' Another Genshaar turns the corner into the small chamber, sees you and freezes. Breathlessly he mumbles, 'Cutter, this outsider has sliced many. Their blood now feeds the earth.' The Cutter steps back from you. 'I see. I may have misjudged you Outsider. But I cannot let this go untested. I shall let the Wolf decide your fate.' He then hands you a Genshaar Cutter Totem Blueprint.
'You must walk my path, then I shall accept you as an equal. But the Fangs of the Wolf are not gentle. Return if you can take the Cutter Totem.'
You receive 1 x Cutter Totem Blueprint	 	 		
  	 	 		
The Genshaar Cutter waits for your return, 'Have you taken a Cutter Wolf Totem?'
The Cutter takes it from you. He gazes at the blood dripping fangs, than at you. 'I do not believe that you are from Stormpost. None from that soft walled village could stand against the Desert Fury. Who are you?'
You sheath your weapon, and say. 'I have just walked out of the Cursed Lands of the Dahon. They accepted me as a Brave and I served them with honor and blood. In my travels I saw that Stormpost was in need so I helped. It has lead me to your door. I only seek to continue my journey. A great evil is about to fall on this place along with Stormpost. If you wish to live, you should stand with them. Their strength might not be with swords, but they are strong. Do not disregard them too readily. I also see you are required to prove your honor to them. They see you as common savages, only slightly higher than beasts.'
The Cutter flinches at the sting of your words, 'I feel the pain of truth in what you say. But I am correct, you are not from Stormpost. If you served the Dahon, will you serve us too? The Selenite Crab that crawls the Dell has a shell that is highly durable. If what you say is true we will need to prepare for the coming storm. If you will serve us I shall write your name in our tribal records.'
He hands you a Blueprint. Maybe if you serve the Genshaar and get the armor they want, some good might come of it.
You receive 1 x Selenite Armor Blueprint (creatures from lvl 313 have those drops)	 	 		
  	 	 		
The Genshaar Cutter stands in the small chamber, he is astonished to see your return. 'Have you the Selenite Armor I requested?'
The Cutter stares at the tough shell in your hands, 'I did not believe for one moment that you would serve us. It must be true that you are who you say you are. None of the Dahon would bring dishonor to their name. I feel the barb of shame, and coming from an Outsider, its almost more than I can stand.'
He takes the Armor from you, 'This is good work, I shall write your name in our book, and tell of the words you have spoken. I shall walk the Passage and speak with those cowering behind their walls about this evil stalking us. We shall see what we find. What name will I write in our Books of Blood?'
You smile, then reply simply, 'G27 Unit.'
You receive 1,113,282 Xp + 15 Skill Points
