Journal

Npah Tayuun would like you to help her teach a lesson: woe betide any wavekin that stands between a scholar and her research.

A crystallized plain lies slumbering to the west, rich with promises of hidden things. Investigate two sites in the remains of Camp Revenant's Toll, and do away with attacking nixes.

Npah Tayuun: And yet, I am unjustly barred from a closer look at those crystals by—by nixies!
Npah Tayuun: Now you understand, do you not? They must die, those nixies. I will not suffer them to keep me from penetrating the secret of the tower!

Reporting to Npah Tayuun

Npah Tayuun: You already slew the nixies? It's been barely—after all, I am still quite flushed from m outburst earlier. They were dead ere my rage had cooled? Well, that's—quite lovely! They had it coming, those hoppers.
Npah Tayuun: The Crystal Tower is still foremost in my mind, but adventurers may bear some studying too—perhaps as side project? This will be more of a experimental research. I shall find you a blood pact to sign...
