Thancred 	That Eulmore has gained a foothold here does not bode well for the Night's Blessed.
 	
Ryne 	There must be something we can do to help the Night's Blessed... Mustn't there?
 	
Urianger 	How fareth the young guard?
Yshtola 	The poison spread throughout his system long before he was brought here. At present, there is naught we can do but try to ease his pain.
Runar 	Do not blame yourselves, my friends. All that can be done has been done.
Runar 	Even had we reached him sooner, it would have made little difference. The Children employ countless poisons. Finding a suitable antidote is a nigh impossible task.
Thancred 	...What of the rest of the Blessed? How have they taken the news of Eulmore's generous proposition?
Runar 	With anger and dismay. We cannot hope to oppose both them and the Children.
Runar 	I considered a convocation of all the Night's Blessed that we might consider their ultimatum, but I know how they will answer.
Runar 	Master Matoya...I am truly sorry.
Runar 	We will not─cannot─abandon our faith.
Runar 	But there is no reason for you to suffer for our decision. Your work is not yet done, and you still have time to flee.
Yshtola 	...Flee?
Yshtola 	I am not wont to run from my troubles. In fact, with [Player Name]'s arrival, I am minded to take the offensive.
Yshtola 	The Eulmorans' presence here plainly stems from a desire to protect the Lightwarden. I say we seek it out and slay the creature before they return.
Yshtola 	Were darkness to fall over Rak'tika, they would have no cause to remain.
Thancred 	...All of which is rather easier said than done. Unless, of course, you've finally deciphered that tablet?
Yshtola 	I have, as a matter of fact. And with it we can prepare everything we need to enter Yx'Maja.
Yshtola 	What say you all? We will need to act quickly, but I believe it can be done.
Urianger 	We cannot deny our fate. But one course lieth before us.
Yshtola 	Good. I leave the Blessed in your capable hands, Runar.
Runar 	Very well...
Runar 	I see there is no changing your mind. By all that is dark, I swear to keep the Blessed safe.
Yshtola 	According to the tablet, we will first need to obtain a seal used to identify the allies of Ronka in times past.
Yshtola 	One such seal should be waiting for us in a complex of underwater ruins not far from here. You have some experience with subaquatic excursions, do you not?
Yshtola 	Then this should prove a simple task for you. The ruins we seek are at the bottom of Lake Tusi Mek'ta.
Thancred 	While you see to that, Minfilia and I will remain here to help shore up Slitherbough's defenses.
Runar 	Your aid would be greatly appreciated.
 	
Yshtola 	There you are. Ready for a swim?
Yshtola 	The seal we seek should be stored in a chamber somewhere inside the ruins beneath the lake.
Yshtola 	However, the entrance is seemingly protected by a subtle locking mechanism rooted in the symbolism of Ronkan culture.
Yshtola 	The Ronkans sought to live in harmony with nature, and considered certain animals to be sacred. Foremost in their pantheon was the snake, portrayed as the protector of the wood, and arbiter of life and death. Below it were four others, each equal in rank: the coeurl, the colibri, the opo-opo, and the wolf, characterized as the bringers of liberty, words, enlightenment, and harmony, respectively.
Yshtola 	To open the chamber containing the seal, the tablet states that one must pay due deference to three of these beasts by placing one's palm on monuments wrought in their image, and that this must be done in a specific sequence.
Yshtola 	If my interpretation is correct, the order can be discerned from the three commandments which follow.
Yshtola 	“Give praise unto the snake. By its strength do our lands prosper.”
Yshtola 	“Be as the opo-opo, rival thy kin. As all parts seek betterment, so too does the whole.”
Yshtola 	“Be as the wolf, move as one. Peace comes to all who seek harmony with their kin.”
Yshtola 	The tablet says naught of the placement, size, or appearance of the monuments, alas. Hopefully all will become clear when you reach the bottom of the lake. Go safely.
 	
Yshtola 	You have forgotten the sequence? <sigh> Mind that you listen this time, yes? The commandments were as follows...
Yshtola 	“Give praise unto the snake. By its strength do our lands prosper.”
Yshtola 	“Be as the opo-opo, rival thy kin. As all parts seek enlightenment, so too does the whole.”
Yshtola 	“Be as the wolf, move as one. Peace comes to all who seek harmony with their kin.”
Yshtola 	As I told you before, the tablet says naught of the position, size, or appearance of the monuments in question, so you will just have to use your eyes.
 	
Yshtola 	I sensed a stirring in the water. Assuming you've found the chamber, it may be wise to check the entrance.
 	
Yshtola 	Did you find it?
Yshtola 	This medallion... It bears the owl insignia of the empire. There can be no doubt─this is the seal of Ronka.
Yshtola 	Well done, [Player Name]. We can begin our preparations to enter Yx'Maja in earnest.
