[%username], [%username]! I need your help immediately!

No one else here can do what you do.

Have you heard of Stoneshell Ksellids and Stoneshell Kselliki?

"Sounds familiar."

Ksellids and Kselliki are not dangerous animals. They never normally attack Humans unless provoked.

But we just got word that a pack of them destroyed a caravan crossing the desert!

The fortress is investigating, but we can't wait for the results; anything might happen in the meantime. So, we need your help, [%username].

"How can I help?"

Hunt some [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Shellizard_29_An]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ShellizardBaby_30_An]s, and bring back some samples from them.

I don't know what made them so violent, but the safety of innocents must always be my first concern.

I'm asking you because it's urgent, [%username]. I have heard of your feats in Verteron.

Accept. Decline.

Thank you for fulfilling my request.

Capture the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Shellizard_29_An] and[%dic:STR_DIC_M_ShellizardBaby_30_An] immediately and bring 10 pieces of [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1342a] as evidence.

The proof is also used for the report on [%username]'s merits, and will be sent along to the fortress.

It would be good if the source could be determined quickly, but you can not just wait around for it.

"No problem. I'll be right back."

I heard you do not hide from difficult missions. Was that not true?

How can you ignore those who are in danger?

Maybe I was wrong to believe what Spiros said.

"Look, I'm just this Daeva."

[%username], good. You made it back. I hope the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Shellizard_29_An]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ShellizardBaby_30_An]s did not give you too much trouble.

And that you were able to gather their shells.

Tell me how your patrol went.

"It was easy...."

It would seem so, since you returned without enough [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1342a]s.

If we're going to stop these attacks, we need those samples.

Now, please go gather the shells.

"I won't let you down."

Good news! I was just informed the Fortress found the cause for the attacks.

Well, not so good, actually, but that's a matter for another time..

Every patrol we send out brings back another piece of information, and we need information most of all.

Take the proof that you hunted [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Shellizard_29_An]s and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_ShellizardBaby_30_An]s to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Alexis].

[%collectitem]

The Ksellids and Kselliki have suddenly become violent, so collect their shells and take them to Alexis as for examination.

Alexis said that the Ksellids and Kselliki had suddenly turned violent, so he asked you to hunt them in order to protect the locals, and bring him some samples.

When you delivered him the shells, he said that the fortress had found out what made them violent.
