Hey, hey! Shoo! Scram!

Oh, ah...hello!

I wasn't shouting at you, [%username], just the blasted Drakes.

"For what reason?"

Because they're terrible pests, that's why!

As the land's dried out, they've congregated near every source of water, growing bold and taking what they want. Even the spring's not safe. If I turn back to my studies for even a moment...

I fenced them out, but with their strength they'll easily tear through soon.

"So kill a few. That works!"

I am tempted, believe me. But I am...not a warrior, really.

You're an experienced [%userclass]. Couldn't you help me?

It's just the ones that hover around the Mystic Spring.

Accept. Decline.

Thank you very much.

Then please kill 6 [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_M_Drake_28_An] and 4 [plur][%dic:STR_DIC_M_Drake_30_An].

You need to kill enough of them so that the rest become afraid and take flight.

"That sounds about right."

Yes, yes, I suppose you're much in demand!

Just have to think of another solution.

Poisoned Gorgon meat, perhaps....

"You'll find a way."

Hope that's not your blood!

Those creatures' bills are quite sharp, and often the wounds fester.

"Nope, it's Drake blood."

Ah, yes! The noise has already abated.

I did well asking you, dear [%username].

Though I fear I've forgotten something.

Kill the Drakes around the Mystic Spring of Laquepin.

[%dic:STR_DIC_M_Drake_28_An]([%2]/6)

[%dic:STR_DIC_M_Drake_30_An]([%5]/4)

Talk to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Esaias].

The Drakes must be killed so the Daevas of Life can examine the contamination of the Mystic Spring in safety.

Drakes fleeing the desert are depleting the water of the Mystic Spring, and Esaias is too busy battling them to do his work.

Since Daevas of Life are poor in combat, you drove off the Drakes for him.
