Thancred 	Hopefully Y'shtola has good news to share.
Thancred 	A chance to reclaim the night has lit a fire in Minfilia that I would see kindled.
 	
Ryne 	What do you suppose she's gleaned from the tablet?
 	
Yshtola 	Let me begin by first explaining the origins of this tablet.
Yshtola 	I initially believed it might detail the history of the Church of the First Light. Much to my surprise, it dates back to the end of the Ronkan Empire, and was likely written under the direction of the reigning ruler.
Yshtola 	It was a time of strife and unceasing war with neighboring nations. With each passing day they yielded more and more territory to their enemies.
Yshtola 	In their desperation, petitions for aid were sent out to their allies. This was one such petition.
Ryne 	And you think this ancient petition will somehow help us get into Yx'Maja?
Urianger 	Indeed we do.
Urianger 	For etched into this tablet is a method by which one may prove themself an ally of the Ronkan Empire.
Urianger 	Provided we are able to decipher said instructions, we may entreat the ruin's protectors to grant us safe passage.
Yshtola 	The problem, however, is I presently lack the resources to decipher them in their entirety.
Yshtola 	We have but one recourse: there exists a stone monument inscribed with ancient Ronkan text and translations into a more modern dialect which came into use after the fall of the empire. I am confident it will suit our purposes.
Ryne 	Where can we find this monument?
Yshtola 	Here in Citia, quite close to Slitherbough, in fact.
Yshtola 	The good news ends there, however, for it is in the possession of a rather radical faction of Dark worshipers─the Children of the Everlasting Dark.
Yshtola 	If I am to study the monument, I must infiltrate their encampment.
Yshtola 	I have no intention of taking longer than absolutely necessary, but I will nevertheless require time to transcribe the text I need. To ensure that I will have enough, I am afraid I must ask you and Thancred to assist me.
Thancred 	And before you even ask, the answer is no. If we're to remain unseen, our group must be as small as possible.
Ryne 	...All right. I'll stay here until you return.
Thancred 	We won't be long. If anything should happen, you keep her safe.
Yshtola 	Then let us convene outside, to the west of Slitherbough where the path diverges.
 	
Ryne 	Take care, [Player Name].
 	
Urianger 	For my part, I shall make all possible preparations that Y'shtola may begin translating the tablet upon her return.
 	
Thancred 	All set.
 	
Yshtola 	The encampment we seek is to the north, but it would be foolish to simply rush in.
Yshtola 	A guard has been posted at Cleric to keep watch over the Children. Perhaps he has aught to share of their recent activity.
Yshtola 	But we must tread carefully. There is a chance we may encounter them along the way.
Yshtola 	Stay close and stay alert. I would avoid a confrontation if possible.
Yshtola 	They rejoice in dealing death to others, claiming that in doing so they cleanse their victims of sin and usher them unto the sunless sea. I would rather not sully my hands defending myself against such madmen.
 	
Watcher03329 	Ahhh!
 	
Balloon 	Do not interfere with our work!
 	
Watcher03329 	By the blessed Dark...
Yshtola 	Thank goodness you are unharmed.
Thancred 	We would have arrived sooner, but we too had a rather unwelcome visit from the Children.
Watcher03329 	You are an acquaintance of Master Matoya, then. My apologies.
Watcher03329 	The Children have been acting strange of late, so I thought to take a closer look. I was careless...
Yshtola 	Strange? What have you seen?
Watcher03329 	At first there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary─the usual gathering of ingredients for poisons from flora and fauna.
Watcher03329 	But then I took notice of their venomous spiders. They've been breeding them in much greater numbers.
Watcher03329 	It's as if they're preparing for something...
Thancred 	Any ideas as to what?
Yshtola 	It could be anything, really. If it meant the end of the Blessed, nothing would be too cruel or violent for them.
Yshtola 	But perhaps we can use their present preoccupation with spiders to our advantage.
Yshtola 	If we were to introduce a threat to the nests where they keep them, the Children would be compelled to save them. Bees, for example, are a natural predator of spiders.
Yshtola 	Set them loose on the nests and we would have our opportunity to sneak into their encampment.
Thancred 	What a mischievous plan. I like it. With a bit of smoke we should be able to subdue a few colonies long enough to secure their hives.
Thancred 	Have you anything we might be able to use?
Watcher03329 	We should have smoke bombs at the outpost just over there.
Thancred 	Then it's settled.
Thancred 	Grab a few smoke bombs from the outpost and search about for beehives.
Thancred 	I imagine the bees won't take too kindly to your visit, but once they're knocked out, take the beehives and bring them back here. Two will suffice, I should think.
 	
Watcher03329 	If it's all the same to you, I'll be returning to Slitherbough. I don't want to get in the way. Stay safe, and may the shadows keep you.
 	
Thancred 	Were you able to find any?
 	
Yshtola 	The guard returned to Slitherbough, but not before offering his thanks.
Yshtola 	As for the beehives, Thancred and I were successful in acquiring what we need. How did you fare?
Yshtola 	This is more than enough. The Children are certain to be displeased.
Yshtola 	Let us hurry, before the bees begin to stir.
Urianger 	I have no doubt thou wilt find the contents of the tablet most informative.
