Quests (Season 4)

On a New Adventure

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Prerequisite	Seria's Determination Seria's Determination
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "I'm back! I let Binoche know how it went, so she could rest. Ah, Adventurer, are you leaving the village already? This is all too soon..." Linus: "Are you leaving? You adventurers never stay in one place for long. Where are you going this time?" Seria Kirmin: "Excuse me, Adventurer. if you haven't decided where to go, why don't you go to Sky Tower? I can take you there if you want." If player is an Agent <Player: (Isn't the Sky Tower the bridge to Empyrean? I might be able to find some clues to the Master's whereabouts there.) Linus: "What are you talking about? Do you want to go on an adventure too?" Seria Kirmin: "Binoche said Grand Flores may now be safe from the Devolved darkness because of the Adventurer, but everywhere else is Arad is not yet safe from the effects of the Metastasis. I agree with her. There's no guarantee that the pentacles in the other places are in working order, and I want to go make sure they are. We have to stop the Metastasis before it can cause more tragedies." Linus: "That's why you spoke of the Sky Tower. If that's what you want, then I won't stop you. But the Sky Tower is dangerous. The path that leads to it is also perilous since monsters from other worlds started springing up in Arad. Adventurer, I'm sorry, but let me ask you one more favor. Could you take Seria to the Sky Tower? I want to do that myself, but as you can see, I can't leave this place unattended. Plus, I'm sure going with an amazing adventurer like you is more exciting for her. Hah hah! Thank you. The Sky Tower is in West Coast, the harbor city next to Hendon Myre, the capital of the Principality of Bel Myre. You might as well see the country while you're at it." Seria Kirmin: "Thank you, Adventurer. I'll try to do my bit while we're together." Linus: "What, are you leaving already? Geez, so impatient, aren't you? Hold on. I've got this pass from the Headman. Take it with you. You need it to enter Hendon Myre." Toby: "Adventurer, bye! See you again!" Linus: "Goodbye. May the elves bless you."
Objectives	Go to Hendon Myre, the capital of Bel Myre, with Seria.
Upon Completion	Imperial Guard: "Halt! You need a pass to get past here. Adventurers who cannot identify themselves are not allowed in here." Seria Kirmin: "Hello. I'm Seria of Elvenguard. This adventurer is with me. Let me show you my pass." Imperial Guard: "Hm, okay, you may pass." Seria Kirmin: "Thank you. ...Whew, the Empire is keeping a tight watch on this place. I've heard it used to be crowded with adventurers and travelers from all over the continent. The Principality must be in bad situation."

A Ruckus in Hendon Myre

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "Hendon Myre, the capital city of Bel Myre, couldn't have existed if it weren't for Great Mage Myre. He turned what used to be a wasteland into the fertile land it is now by using the Great Pentacle. That's why it has many buildings painted in white. It's known to be his favorite color, so that's to thank him for making it a habitable home. West Coast, where the Sky Tower, is a coastal city next to Hendon Myre. It's not far away. Let's go."
Objectives	Enter and take a look around Hendon Myre, and then head out to West Coast.
Dungeon Dialogue	Imperial Knight: "Do you really expect me to believe that? You're a monster. How dare you challenge the Imperial Army?" Grubeck: "Please, I swear! I'm too old and weak to challenge soldiers like you. I'm just a meek, frail goblin!" Seria Kirmin: "Oh, I wonder what's going on." Imperial Knight: "Old or not, you're a monster. What's a goblin doing in a human village?" Grubeck: "I've been cursed with exceptional intelligence. The others of my kind got jealous and exiled me because of it. I've been exiled once. I don't want to be exiled again." Imperial Knight: "We don't care. We're here to ensure the safety of the villagers. Just shut up and follow us!" Karakas: "Hey soldier, you're here to protect the villagers, right? Then you'll have to protect this goblin too. He's got a green card issued by the Queen, certifying him as a legitimate member of Hendon Myre." Imperial Knight: "Well, we're going to see if it's real or forged!" Karakas: "But you don't have the authority to do that. You're not the officers of this Principality. I understand the Imperial Army is here to help the Principality, but this seems way too far over the line. And not all goblins are bad. Some of them are our friends. And look. Hendon Myre is bustling with strong adventurers like this youngster here. Any one of them can throw around old, belligerent goblins should the occasion arise. Don't you agree, young fellow? You and I can take care of Grubeck, right?" Seria: "Of course, the Adventurer will help. And like he said, not all the goblins are cruel. In fact, I'm friends with a cute little goblin myself." Karakas: "Ah, you're pretty and eloquent. Sure, sure. Some goblins make really good friends. And if Grubeck really causes trouble, I'll help you arrest him. What do you say?" Imperial Knight: "... We'll arrest you at the first sign of trouble, got it?"
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "I'm glad. Are you okay?" Grubeck: "Ow, ow... Thank you. This happened so many times I've lost count. But why? I'm just an old goblin..." Karakas: "They might have wanted to impress their superiors or scare you. Or both. Anyway, Grubeck, you'd better go back. You don't want to get caught by other Imperial soldiers."

Moonlight Tavern

Level	17
Quest Giver	Karakas
Briefing	Karakas: "I haven't thanked you for your help, have I? Are you an adventurer? This lady next to you doesn't look like one, though." Seria Kirmin: "I'm Seria, and I'm with this adventurer. We came from Elvenguard to see the Sky Tower." Karakas: "I see. Name's Karakas. I'm here for now because I have to, but I'm an adventurer myself. You're going to the Sky Tower, huh? Sure, it's definitely something to see. But since you're an adventurer, you're not going to see it just from the outside and gaze in awe before you leave, are you? All right, why don't you come with me? I want to buy you a drink in return for your help."
Objectives	Go to Moonlight Tavern and listen to Karakas. Meet Karakas: 0/1
Upon Completion	Karakas: "This is called the Moonlight Tavern. I come here often. It sells decent spirits and it's owned by a wonderful woman. It's a shame she's away on business right now. I would've loved to introduce you to her. Loud, isn't it. This tavern's main patrons are adventurers and travelers, who are boisterous lot. I think their rowdiness is what keeps this place feeling so vibrant, though. Hah hah hah. Anyway, you said you want to go to the Sky Tower, right? It's right next to Hendon Myre, and getting to West Coast is not difficult. But the Sky Tower is guarded. Adventurers and country bumpkins are not welcomed there." Seria Kirmin: "Oh, no. who's guarding it?" Karakas: "The Imperial Army. It came to help us with the Metastasis, and it's been meddling with all kinds of national affairs. But it's not impossible to get in there." Seria Kirmin: "All right. How can we get in?" Karakas: "Sorry, but you're on your own. If push comes to shove, you can cut a path through the soldiers, right? If you're a real adventurer, you'll find your way in, no matter what. Hah hah. Disappointed? But solving things on your own is half the fun of being an adventurer. I don't want to be a killjoy. Oops, where did the time go? I'd better leave. See you later."
Rewards	2,896 Exp 756 Gold

Blocked by the Imperial Army

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "This tavern, being in such a big city, is bustling with adventurers. It's the perfect place for them to meet others and exchange information. Are you done looking around Hendon Myre? Then let's go to the West Coast, where the Sky Tower is. According to Karakas, the path to the Sky Tower is blocked, but it's not impossible to get there."
Objectives	Go through West Coast and head for the Sky Tower.
Upon Completion	Imperial Knight: "Halt! You can't enter the Sky Tower without a permit." Seria Kirmin: "It really is guarded. Why do you think?" If player is an Agent <Player>: (This tower really is tall enough to reach Empyrean. If the Master decided to leave Arad and return to Empyrean, he would've come here.) If player is a Gunner <Player>: (This tower really looks like it's reaching the sky. I might be able to go back up to Empyrean through it...)

How to Enter the Sky Tower

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "I've heard the Great Pentacle of Hendon Myre covers the sky above the city and is big enough to reach the Sky Tower. That's why I wanted to climb the Sky Tower and take a look at it from there. I can't see it in its entirety from down here. Do you think we can find someone who knows how to enter the Tower? We'd better ask around."
Objectives	Find someone who knows how to enter the Sky Tower. Meet Roger: 0/1
Upon Completion	Roger: "Why is the Sky Tower being guarded? Yes, I know why. Do you want to climb the Tower?"
Rewards	2,896 Exp 756 Gold

Being Tested

Level	17
Quest Giver	Roger
Briefing	Roger: "Currently, the Sky Tower is guarded by the Imperial Army, even though it's a Principality territory. To get in, you have to have a pass issued by the Empress of the Principality. How do you get the pass? Hm, you made the right decision coming to me, but I'm a businessman. Everything I do, I do for profit. How about we do this? I'll help you enter the Sky Tower. Just once. And you can't go up too high. There's someone I've hired to search the Sky Tower. The Army will let you in if you're with him. If my employee decides that it's in my best interest to continue doing business with you, then I'll help you get an Empress-issued pass. What do you say? Good. Then go to the Sky Tower. I'll send word to my employee."
Objectives	Go to the Sky Tower and meet the person whom Roger Levin told you about.
Upon Completion	Player isn't a demonic lancer Leno: "Hello. You must be the adventurer Roger told me about. I'm Leno." Player is a demonic lancer Leno: "You're the adventurer Roger told me about. We meet again."
Rewards	2,896 Exp 756 Gold

Enter the Sky Tower

Level	17
Quest Giver	Leno
Dungeon	Dragonoid Nest
Briefing	Leno: "The Sky Tower is a wonderful place. I couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw it. But it's also really dangerous. If you're not confident in your ability to fight, I suggest you don't go. Or you should wait at least until this lady gets used to being in the Tower." Seria Kirmin: "...Oh, I see. Then I'll wait here until you return, Adventurer." Leno: "Perhaps that's best. Then let's go. Roger values punctuality."
Objectives	Explore the Sky Tower with Leno.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Leno: "Isn't it amazing to see a mythical dragon with your own eyes? This Sky Tower is believed to have been made a very long time ago."
Upon Completion	Leno: "Good job following me. Let's go deeper."

Exploring the Sky Tower

Level	17

Briefing	Leno: "Then, I'll look for the object that Roger has hired me to find. Please keep any nearby enemies away from me. You look like a strong warrior, but don't let your guard down."
Objectives	Defeat enemies in the Sky Tower.
Upon Completion	Leno: "So, you were here. You're not hurt, are you? Thanks to you, I was able to collect those things for Roger quickly. Let's go back now."

Reporting the Results

Level	17
Quest Giver	Roger
Briefing	Roger: "Welcome back. Did you find what I asked?" Leno: "Of course." Roger: "Outstanding. I'll pay you the amount we've agreed upon. And [what] do you think of this adventurer?" Leno: "Impressive. He won't disappoint you." Roger: "Is that so? Good. I always welcome great investment opportunities. Welcome. I'll help you as long as my interests align with your goal."
Objectives	Go Roger Levin and ask him for details. Meet Roger: 0/1
Upon Completion	Roger: "Originally I traveled from town to town, doing business. It was lucky for me that the Sky Tower opened soon after I settled down in the Principality. The Sky Tower is a magical building created by someone unknown a long time ago. It was invisible, but then all of a sudden, it appeared like a mirage and became reality. After the Sky Tower appeared, the Principality decided to issue passes to adventurers who wanted to explore it, but [not] to all of them. Letting too many adventurers at the same time could pose a problem. Careless adventurers could get stranded inside the Tower. Also, since no one knew what lurked in the Tower, it was too dangerous to post guards there at all times. So the government set up conditions: it will only issue the pass to adventurers if someone approved by the Queen's order vouches for their strength. I'm not a fighter. I can't know exactly how good you are, but I trust Leno's judgment. I will invest in you."
Rewards	2,896 Exp 756 Gold

To Hendon Myre City Hall

Level	17
Quest Giver	Roger
Briefing	Roger: "Then let's go to the Hendon Myre City Hall. There, I'll get you the pass you need."
Objectives	Go to the Hendon Myre City Hall. Meet Robato: 0/1
Upon Completion	Robato: "Who are you? Are you an adventurer wanting to explore the Sky Tower? I'm Robato, a Knight of the Principality. You need a cosigner to get your pass. Are you here with them?" Roger: "I'm his cosigner. Here are the necessary documents." Robato: "Geez, it's you again. The Sky Tower is dangerous. Please stop using adventurers for your business like this." Roger: "That's not fair. The government is also using them because it's not happy that the Imperial Army is in charge of exploring the Tower. I provide the government with adventurers to keep the Army in check, and in return, I get to sell the rare items from the Tower. It's a win-win situation for everyone." Robato: "*Sigh* How eloquent of you!"
Rewards	2,896 Exp 756 Gold

Get the Pass

Level	17
Quest Giver	Roger
Briefing	Robato: "It's true that we want to finish investigating the Sky Tower quickly. I'll issue you the pass. Please give me a moment." Seria Kirmin: "Sir Knight, I'm with this adventurer. Can I tag along when we go into the Tower?" Robato: "Some adventurers work in teams, so we allow each adventurer to take one companion with them. But that tower is really dangerous. Please be careful. ... There you go. You can now go in and out of the Sky Tower as you please. Currently, the Imperial Army is guarding and investigating the Tower on my country's behalf. Please follow [their] instructions in case of emergency." Seria Kirmin: "Why is the Imperial Army guarding something that is the Principality's property?" Robato: "There are various reasons, but I'm not at liberty to disclose national affairs. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Roger: "No. I'd better go now. It was nice to meet you, Sir Robato."
Objectives	Go to Roger Levin and listen to him. Meet Roger: 0/1
Upon Completion	Roger: "You can now enter the Sky Tower. Show this pass, and the Imperial Army will let you pass. Wait. I've got this pass for you, but I'm a businessman. Helping you is part of my investment in you. By accepting this pass, you're agreeing to the terms of our business. What I want from you is not much. I want to be the first person to get the information and any interesting objects you find in the Sky Tower. If you keep our agreement, I'll help you renew your pass. If you don't or cause trouble, I'll revoke your pass. Is that understood? Good. Let me give you your pass. Thank you for not forgetting our agreement."

Wonders of the Sky Tower

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Dungeon	Puppet Museum
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "When Apostle Sirocco showed up, the Four Blade Masters defended Arad against him, but not before many lives were lost. Mysterious buildings like the Sky Tower don't appear without reason. I'm worried it might be the harbinger of another disaster... Oh, no. We can finally get into the Sky Tower, and I'm spoiling the mood. I'm sorry. I'm probably worrying over nothing. Let's just enter the Sky Tower."
Objectives	Enter the Sky Tower.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Seria Kirmin: "Oh! What a mysterious and beautiful place! But I can feel the slight tremor of mana that's filling the air here. I wonder if something's happening up there..."
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "The puppets in this place were animated by arcane magic. A long time has passed since then, and they're still following their order to keep intruders away. I wonder who cast this powerful magic that has transcended such a long time. I searched while you were in the Sky Tower, but there wasn't much information left. I don't know where else to look."

Rescue

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Dungeon	Puppet Museum
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "...Oh? Adventurer, I can hear someone. Don't you? Could it be another adventurer? He sounds desperate. What if he's in danger? Can we go find him?"
Objectives	Go find where the urgent voice can be heard from.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon finding the boss: Den: "Argh...My body is moving on its own!" Fiona: "Den! Argh, these monsters! How many of them are there?" Seria Kirmin: "This is not good! He's going to get hurt!" If player is a demonic lancer or female slayer <Player>: (I guess it's not a bad idea to have the Imperial Army owe me.) Upon defeating the boss: Fiona: "Oh...I'm glad..."
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "Are you okay? Are you not hurt?" Den: "I'm okay. Aww, I thought we were going to die." Fiona: "Thank you. We're companion-at-arms in the Iron Wolves of the Imperial Knights. Are you adventurers?" Seria Kirmin: "Yes. I'm Seria, and I'm with this adventurer. Did you two get separated from the rest of your group?" Den: "...This one got overambitious..." Fiona: "Ack, you agreed! You said we should find the Princess and get promoted at once." Seria Kirmin: "The Princess? Do you mean your princess?" Fiona: "Oh, didn't you hear when you were outside? I thought we decided to recruit adventurers for the search. Man, Lenny can't do anything right. Her Highness came to take a tour around the Sky Tower, and--this is embarrassing--disappeared while her escorts were distracted." Den: "It hasn't been long since she disappeared, but this place is so dangerous that everyone in our group is looking for her. Lowly men like us shouldn't be here, but we got overambitious and ended up being surrounded by the puppets. Dang. We disobeyed orders and got saved by adventurers. The Deputy Master will rip us a new one..." Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes, he will. Definitely." Den: "*Gasp*" Fiona: "Master!"

Dungeon	Golem Tower
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "I heard a commotion, so I came down and heard everything. I understand your enthusiasm, but you know desertion is a serious offense, don't you?" Fiona: "I-I'm sorry, sir." Vaughn Walshuted: "Don't be so scared. He's not going to kill you. No, wait. He might." Den: "...Aww..." Vaughn Walshuted: "Just go. The others are downstairs. Get your butt down there now." Fiona: "Yes, sir!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Geez, I don't have time for this. Ah, you, the adventurer over there. Thank you for helping my men. I'm, Vaughn Walshuted, commander of the Iron Wolves. Those who you met are knights in training. They're so new and enthusiastic that they tend to act first and think later." Seria Kirmin: "Vaughn Walshuted? You're one of the Four Blade Masters who defeated Sirocco of the Screaming Cavern." If player isn't a demonic lancer or female slayer Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes, I am. I'm sorry, but I can't talk any longer. I have to go back up and find the Imperial Princess. She's missing. ... Wait, you're strong enough to come this far. Can you help us? There are so many obstacles that we're having a hard time finding her. Oh, thanks. Usually, adventurers are not allowed on the next floor, but you're with me. Are you ready? Then let's go."

Finding the Imperial Princess

Level	17
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Dungeon	Golem Tower
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "What in the world is this Sky Tower for? The higher I go, the worse I feel. My Ghost Arm is twitching, despite my control, as if it wants my attention. What's at the top of this place?" Seria Kirmin: "Can it be because of the Great Pentacle? But that's..." Vaughn Walshuted: "No, I don't think so. My arm only does this when I come in here. It has to respond to some secret hidden in this tower. Can Her Highness be more considerate of her guards? But I'm sure she's somewhere on this floor. Adventurer, I'll go this way. You and the lady go that way. You won't miss the Imperial Princess. Good luck finding her."
Objectives	Find the Imperial Princess in the Golem Tower with Vaughn.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering room C1: Seria Kirmin: "Ah! Adventurer, I think I've heard a woman's voice!" Upon finding the boss: Isabella: "*Whistle* I'm pretty good. Oh, my..." Seria Kirmin: "I can't believe such a giant golem exists!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Highness! Watch out!" Upon defeating the boss: Golem Commander: "...!" Vaughn Walshuted: "This one almost killed all of us."
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "Your Highness, are you okay?" Isabella: "Of course. I'm fine." Vaughn Walshuted: "I'm glad. Why did you come here alone? We were worried sick about you." Isabella: "Because you were being stubborn as a mule. I wanted to see the place with my own eyes, so I could repay Father for trusting me enough to let me come here." Vaughn Walshuted: "You could've gotten hurt. You were lucky this time, but you really could've gotten hurt. [What] then?" Isabella: "All right, all right! Geez, I thought you [would] be on my side." Vaughn Walshuted: "How can I be on your side when you're so determined to antagonize me? Anyway, the air in this place is bad. Let's go down. Adventurer, if you don't have anything else to do, let's get out of here with us. Oh, I've got this from the golem. You can keep it. We should take it with us for analysis, but you saved Her Highness."

Vaughn's Gratitude

Level	17
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "Aww, today was a trying day." Isabella: "You're saying that just so I can hear you, aren't you?" Vaughn Walshuted: "That's right. You're shrewd." Isabella: "You're no fun. If you let me help you find traces of the Metastasis, we wouldn't have wasted our time today." Vaughn Walshuted: "That's... Ah, you came." Hartz: "Your Highness, thank the gods you're safe. But what you did was foolish and reckless." Isabella: "*Chuckle* But one can learn a lifetime of lessons from early adventures." Hartz: "..." Vaughn Walshuted: "Deputy Master, halt the search and lecture Her Highness for both of us." Isabella: "Ack, Sir Walshuted, you'll pay for this!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Sure, sure. Can't wait. Adventurer, can I have a moment of your time?"
Objectives	Meet Vaughn and listen to him. Meet Vaughn Walshuted: 0/1
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "First, I'd like to thank you for your help. Now that everything is sorted out and Her Highness is safe, I can't ask for more. I wish she were more considerate of her subjects, but at the same time I understand that she's excited about being outside her palace for the first time in a long while. By the way, I don't think I've seen you before. When did you get your Sky Tower pass? Ah, Roger Levin helped you. Since the Sky Tower opened, we've been busy deflecting such greedy people who look at it as a business opportunity. *Yawn* What about you, lady? You don't look like an adventurer. What are you doing in such a dangerous place?" Seria Kirmin: "I came to check the Great Pentacle. Do you by chance know its current condition?" Vaughn Walshuted: "You'll have to go higher up to see the Great Pentacle. By the way, why are you asking?"

Reporting to Roger

Level	17
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "Hm, so that happened in Grand Flores. Well, it's definitely not good to have problems with the Great Pentacles. Actually, the Metastasis is the reason we're investigating the Sky Tower. Lately, it's been causing a lot of problems. It's almost an everyday occurrence that an entire family is slaughtered by Devolved monsters. Things aren't so bad in the Empire, but they are in the Principality. That's why I was sent here. The problem is that I don't know much about the Metastasis, and it's hard to focus on work when I have to constantly babysit new recruits... Oh geez, I'm complaining again. I must be getting old, talking so much. Or it's possible Emily's chattiness has rubbed off on me... Anyway, we have nothing to do with that pass. You should talk to that merchant friend of yours again. I'd better go work now. See you around."
Objectives	Go to Roger Levin and relay what happened in the Sky Tower. Meet Roger: 0/1  Doll Heart (1)  Golden Golem Gem (1)
Upon Completion	Roger Levin: "Welcome back. I've been waiting. Did you find anything in the Sky Tower?"

Another Trade

Level	17
Quest Giver	Roger Levin
Briefing	Roger: "Oh, what an amazing treasure! Good job. I haven't met many adventurers who produced such great results so quickly before. I made a good decision investing in you. Huh? Hah hah hah. What are you talking about? Maybe it looks like I just wrote up a couple of documents, but you couldn't have gotten that pass if it weren't for me. I risked my reputation for you. Anyway, I'm glad you've gotten acquainted with Vaughn Walshuted. Finally, I have a good excuse to introduce myself to him. Hah hah. Today is a wonderful day!" Seria Kirmin: "Excuse, Mr. Levin. Have any phenomena of the Metastasis been reported in Hendon Myre and West Coast lately?" Roger: "The Metastasis? Are you talking about those grotesque-looking monsters that appear in random places and the strange diseases that break out all of a sudden? Well, if there was a major incident, I should've known. But if you want, I can introduce you to an expert." Seria Kirmin: "Oh, sure. Thank you!" Roger: "You're welcome. In fact, that makes us even. I look forward to doing more business with you." Seria Kirmin: "...Oh. (Adventurer, this businessman is...scarily ruthless.)"

Seria Kirmin: "Hello. We came to investigate the Great Pentacle. Is it affected by the Metastasis--" Sharan: "My guild is in charge of the Great Pentacle. You don't have to worry about it."

Briefing	Iris: "Sharan was only wary of you because you came from Mr. Levin, whose less than honorable business ethics disappointed her time and again. But it's clear you're not his business partner. Did you come here to check the Great Pentacle?" Seria Kirmin: "Yes. Grand Flores was threatened by a strange darkness that seeped from another dimension, and this adventurer saved the forest from it. But its Great Pentacle was so close to being destroyed. In fact, the effects of the Metastasis wouldn't have manifested if it wasn't unstable to begin with. I left Elvenguard and came here to make sure its Great Pentacle is not exposed to the same risk. Could you help me?" Sharan: "I see. I'm sorry I jumped to conclusions when I heard Mr. Levin referred you to me. My guild is in charge of the Great Pentacle. We take the Magatha, the airship of the dark elves, up to the sky to check it on a regular basis. But there was a section that we couldn't check because a powerful magical field prevented the Magatha from getting close. Later, the Sky Tower emerged from there. Come to think of it, we haven't checked the Pentacle since the Tower showed up. We didn't have the time. But no effects of the Metastasis have been reported in Hendon Myre or West Coast." Iris: "..." Seria Kirmin: "I see. That's good to know. thank you for your time. We'd better leave." Iris: "Wait a minute. It must be an act of Providence that we've met. I'd like to give you a blessing for your journey. Could you follow me?"
Objectives	Follow Iris. Meet Iris: 0/1
Upon Completion	Iris: "Welcome. I'm a fortune-teller and prayer. I sometimes use my ability to help adventurers who explore dangerous places. But that's not why I wanted to see you. I talked to Sharan, and it seems there's something she's unable to tell you." Seria Kirmin: "Are you saying she's hiding something from us?" Iris: "Yes, but you can't blame her. To her, you're unknown adventurers and strangers. You're not exactly the kind of people she feels comfortable sharing secrets with." Seria Kirmin: "But what about you? Why are you telling us this?" Iris: "I'm not in her guild, and therefore in a different situation. And I've known you were coming."

Briefing	Iris: "My marrelete told me the wind would bring a new adventurer to this place. The moment you mentioned the Great Pentacles, I knew you were the adventurer. We too are aware of the importance of the Great Pentacles, but the last time we were able to check our Great Pentacle was years ago. We can't borrow the dark elves' Magatha any more, now that the Empire and the dark elves are at war with each other. Sharan is trying her best to persuade the others into letting us borrow their airship, but they're not ready to change their minds about us humans yet." Seria Kirmin: "Then..." Iris: "So please climb he Sky Tower and check the Great Pentacle. If something happens to the Great Pentacle, this place will be in big trouble." Seria Kirmin: "Okay. We'll try." Iris: "Thank you. I'll be counting on you. Come back if you need my help."

Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "Argh, I'm getting angry. It's too dark, and my legs are aching! Also, this place gives me the heebie-jeebies. Can we stop investigating the Sky Tower?" Hartz: "Sure, if you can take full responsibility for it." Vaughn Walshuted: "Deputy Master, you're as ruthless as ever. You want me to get fired, don't you? Gee, I can't trust anyone." Lenny: "Master, don't worry! I'll make sure your remains arrive home safely." Vaughn Walshuted: "...Are you serious? You're serious. Gee, thanks. I'm so touched, I want to cry. Err, I wondered who was coming. You're the adventurer from last time. So, you came back. Say, did you find out anything useful?" Lenny: "Ah, this adventurer has been going in and out of the Tower. Master, you don't have to get your hands dirty. I'll get rid of him!" Vaughn Walshuted: "No. That's not why I talked to him. Rookie, please. Just let me talk, will you? *Ahem* We're here to investigate this place, and antagonizing an adventurer with an official Principality pass can cause a diplomatic problem. So watch what you say." Lenny: "Yes, sir! I'll take him someplace else first before kicking him out!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Are you even listening to me? Anyway, Adventurer. I can tell you're also in a difficult situation. It seems the owner of this tower invested a lot into fortifying this specific section of the Tower. The place itself rejects intruders , and I'm guessing it's enchanted. How about we do this? We'll go this way. You go that way. Let's search each half of the place for its defense system and reunite at a halfway point. Then, we'll share what we found out." Lenny: "Master! You're Vaughn Walshuted, hero of the Empire. Working with an insignificant adventurer like him is beneath you!" Vaughn Walshuted: "Err, do you think so? All right, then red head, you go with the Adventurer." Lenny: "Excuse me, sir?!" Vaughn Walshuted: "We have to split up for the search, anyway. If anyone asks, I'll just say you got lost and this adventurer helped you. That should be good enough to protect my reputation. Good. Let's go!" Lenny: "B-but... Master! Deputy Master!"
Objectives	Explore the Vestibule of Darkness.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Lenny: "... The Captain must have meant that I must observe adventurers, who have been a thorn in the side for the Empire, and gain field experience. ...What are you looking at? I'm an Imperial Knight! I don't tolerate adventurers like you who move around in groups, making trouble! *Snort* I don't need your help. I can--ouch!" Upon entering Room B2: Lenny: "Hm. So that's what's keeping the place so dark. How dare you interfere with the Empire? Upon defeating all enemies in Room B2: Lenny: "There are way too many obstacles. This will never end if we stick together. Let's split up. You keep going that way, and I'll check over there." Upon entering the Boss Room: Seria Kirmin: "Adventurer, I'm sensing strange energy from that armor."

That is, it's corrupted by something of an evil nature. What is it, anyway? ... The crystal has something within, but I can't see through the evil energy surrounding it, and I don't know if I can purge the energy or not..."

This puts us in an awkward situation, you know." Zanbato Aganzo: "I'm sorry, but I had to come. The waves I've been sensing coming from up there are getting more intense. Did you find out anything?" Vaughn Walshuted: "My arm is throbbing. Thank the gods, I sealed the Ghosts. They would've been clamoring in my ears by now. This has to do with the Metastasis." Zanbato Aganzo: "It means there's a problem with the Great Pentacle." Seria Kirmin: "So the Great Pentacle has grown weak, letting the power of the Metastasis into the Sky Tower. This place is filled with abnormal mana already, and I can't fathom what might happen if the power of the Metastasis adds to that." Zanbato Aganzo: "Vaughn, I'm going up. The Metastasis can already be at work." Hartz: "Master, this is too serious. We should leave the recruits out of it." Vaughn Walshuted: "If the Metastasis is really at work, then it's not something one person can handle. We need time to prepare. Everyone, let's go back down for now.

Adventurer, what do you have there? I've noticed some strange energy radiating from your lady friend over there." Seria Kirmin: "Oh, you mean this crystal. This adventurer found it in the Sky Tower. It didn't look like a simple crystal, so I was keeping it with me." Vaughn Walshuted: "Err. Where did you find it? Did you really find it from the Sky Tower? May I look? ...I see. First it was my Ghost Arm that keeps vibrating, and now this crystal. Aganzo, I don't think what's left in the Sky Tower is the Metastasis that we know of." Zanbato Aganzo: "No. I think there's a secret in the Sky Tower that we've yet to uncover."

Seria Kirmin: "Yes. But this crystal itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with its evil energy. I'm wondering if you can purge it." Siusha: "... Seria, I think you're perfectly capable of purging it on your own." Seria Kirmin: "Am I? I used purification magic for Grand Flores, but I don't know if the same would work for this crystal."

Siusha: "Not at all. You look like you're on an adventure. If you need my help, let me know anytime. You can come with that adventurer, too. Both of you are welcome. Now, if you'll excuse me..." Seria Kirmin: "This crystal was more contaminated than Ghoulguish's pentacle. I didn't think I could purge it, but Siusha showed me the ropes. I'm happy. Succeeding in this has made me feel as if I've contributed to your adventures. By the way, Adventurer. Have you seen Siusha's ears? They're pointy like elves'. The elves used to live in Grand Flores, but then the Great Fire destroyed the Great Pentacle and caused distress to Shauta and others, they sacrificed themselves to rebuild it. What if... Siusha is the only living elf now? If she is, that's really sad. I'd better check the Great Pentacle in the Sky Tower thoroughly, if not for Arad, then for her. By the way, the crystal feels familiar to me. I wonder if it's part of the Great Pentacle..."

Zanbato Aganzo: "A woman named Kiri. She claims she's from Empyrean." Vaughn Walshuted: "Empyrean? You mean the world above the skies? Come to think of it, I did hear that there was someone from Empyrean. I brushed it off as a rumor, though."

I only recently learned Sirocco was also called an Apostle. But I know Bakal is deeply related to Empyrean. I'd like you to tell us everything you know about him." If player is a Gunner Kiri: "Oh, that's why you wanted to see me. You could've just asked the adventurer you're with." Zanbato Aganzo: "What are you talking about? Adventurer, are you from Empyrean?" Kiri: "Oh, didn't you tell them? You were too confused by your new surroundings to give a proper introduction to your friends, weren't you?" Vaughn Walshuted: "I knew you skill were peculiar. Is that Empyrean magic you're using?" Kiri: "Magic doesn't exist in Empyrean. Bakal saw to it." Seria Kirmin: "The Apostle named Bakal must have been very scary." Kiri: "He was. He was a tyrant who ruled Empyrean a long time ago. He showed up out of nowhere and struck terror into everyone in Empyrean. His reign of terror continued for centuries, up until he died. If player isn't a gunner Kiri: "You're right. Bakal was a tyrant who ruled Empyrean a long time ago. He showed up out of nowhere and struck terror into everyone in Empryean. His reign of terror continued for centuries, until he died." Vaughn Walshuted: "For centuries? Was he an elf or what?" Kiri: "A dragon. He's also known as the King of Dragons. I was too busy living to study history, but he's a part of our history that even a seven-year old would know about it. It was Bakal who closed the door to Underworld. But everyone thought Underworld was just a myth and it was being used to exaggerate Bakal's evil reputation." Zanbato Aganzo: "Since both Empyrean and Underworld--Arad, that is--exist, that rumor about him blocking the connection between our worlds has to be true too. Then maybe the bridge between the two worlds that Bakal blocked might have been the Sky Tower." Kiri: "I agree." Zanbato Aganzo: "I see. Thank you for talking to us. We'd better leave now." Vaughn Walshuted: "Dude, how can you be so calm? She says Empyrean exists! Holy cow, I thought it was just a rumor. Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?" Zanbato Aganzo: "I didn't think it was necessary." Vaughn Walshuted: "Oh, wow." Kiri: "Sir Knight, you must be really curious about Empyrean. I understand. Everything was marvelous to me when I first arrived in Arad. So, what do you want to know?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Mm. Do you Empyreans really live on clouds? Is there really this golden fruit that's so filling that you don't have to eat anything else?" Kiri: "Oh, those are..." Zanbato Aganzo: "Gee, this is embarrassing. Adventurer, let's go to the Sky Tower." Vaughn Walshuted: "But Emily would want to know. Hey, don't go without me!" If player is a Gunner Kiri: "*Chuckle* He's funny, that knight. You wouldn't be bored with him around. It seems you haven't been here long, and you've already found some exciting company. Huh? Oh, do you want to know why I'm here? Long story short, I fell. I really didn't know Arad existed. Sigh. I haven't found a way back home, and I've been here long enough to feel at home. I like being here. You want to go back, though, don't you? Don't give up and keep looking. Someday, your dream will come true. We're lucky to find our way to the fabled Underworld, you know. Yes. You look better when you smile. I can't leave my shop unattended, but you're welcome if you want to drop by and just talk. I'd love to talk about our home. Okay?"
Objectives	Head out to the Sky Tower.
Upon Completion	Zanbato Aganzo: "All the dragonoids and traps inside the Sky Tower have been the device to stop Apostle Bakal from going up to Empyrean or from going down." Seria Kirmin: "I see. Then why was it hidden so far?" Zanbato Aganzo: "Probably to avoid adventurers and the like who are attracted to dangers. It's probably revealed itself because Bakal's magic expired or it collided with the Great Pentacle." Seria Kirmin: "That explains the crystal. What do we do?" Zanbato Aganzo: "We'd better go to the top of the Sky Tower to check the Pentacle." Vaughn Walshuted: "Sheesh, thank you for talking without me."

You think the Sky Tower might be the bridge to Empyrean. If we reach the top of the Tower, will we be reconnecting with Empyrean? If so, it's not something I, as the Master of the Knights, can handle. I'll have to report to His Majesty and wait for his order." Zanbato Aganzo: "Do you have a problem reconnecting with Empyrean?" Vaughn Walshuted: "Adventurers will welcome it. That lady named Kiri is fine, but what if Empyrean is hostile to us? I don't think it's safe for us to reach it with no prior information." Zanbato Aganzo: "I've heard the Imperial Princess is with you." Vaughn Walshuted: "...Well, yes, but I think I should take it up with someone else who can actually take responsibility for what he says. Ah, of course, Her Highness is goodhearted, smart..."

Objectives	Enter the Hendon Myre City Hall and talk to Empress Skardi.
Dungeon Dialogue	Empress Skardi: "Hello. I'm Empress Skardi of the Principality of Bel Myre. You wanted to see me because of a problem with the Sky Tower. Is the situation there urgent?" Aganzo: "We don't know yet, but a strong magical ward is keeping us out. There are also fragments of the Great Pentacle tainted with the power of the [Metastasis]. We're convinced that someone or something in the Sky Tower is at work, affecting the Great Pentacle that protects the Principality. But that's not why we rushed to see you. Given the records of the dark elves, the myth, and what the woman who claims to have come from Empyrean told us, it's possible that the Sky Tower is connected to Empyrean, a country above the sky." Empress Skardi: "Empyrean... How amazing! Have you reached the top of the tower?" Aganzo: "Not yet. But I wanted to see you first, in case something happens to me at the top." Empress Skardi: "I see. Thank you for coming. Is the Empire aware of this?" Aganzo: "Vaughn was with us to investigate the Tower. It's about time for him to show up..." Vaughn: "Sorry I'm late. I had to report, and?" Third Princess Isabella: "Hello, Your Majesty. I came to talk about the issue with the Sky Tower." Empress Skardi: "Imperial Princess, you're here, too. I've heard you've been exploring the Sky Tower. I'm glad you're safe. There will be diplomatic problems if you got hurt while you're in my country." Third Princess Isabella: "Thank you for your concern. I didn't come here to lead the investigation, but as the princess., I still feel responsible for it. You've heard the Sky Tower might be connected to Empyrean, right? The Empire will spare no effort to help you reconnect with Empyrean. First the mythical Sky Tower has revealed itself, and now we have a chance at reaching the fabled land, Empyrean." Empress Skardi: "Oh, thank you for saying that. I didn't know you were so interested in your neighboring states. I also didn't expect you to be so adventurous. But I hope you're also wise enough to know that a single change can have multiple effects. Would opening the door to Empyrean be really good for us?" Third Princess Isabella: "As a nation, having more trading partners is positive. Empyrean is another state. Isn't it worth trying to promote the development of all three states?" Seria Kirmin: "Erm, I'm sorry to interrupt, but right now, the Great Pentacle is more important than reaching Emyprean?" Robato: "I understand you're under pressure, but Her Majesty is speaking. Please wait." Empress Skardi: "No, don't. You were at the site. I'd like to hear what you have to say." Aganzo: "That lady is right. Checking the safety of the Great Pentacle is more important than reaching Empyrean." Empress Skardi: "Ah, I see. I was so immersed in the conversation with the Imperial Princess that I almost forgot the more urgent matter at hand. Thank you for reminding me. Like you said, the unidentified threats somewhere high up in the Sky Tower are our top priority at this moment. So, as the Queen of the Principality of Bel Myre, I'd like to ask you this: please reach the top of the Sky Tower and eliminate all elements of danger. And of course, please check the condition of the Great Pentacle." Seria Kirmin: "We will! I'm glad you understand the severity of the situation. Thank you!" Empress Skardi: "No, thank you. And... Sir Walshuted, you're the Master of the Imperial Knights and a hero who saved Arad. Can I believe that your sword and sense of justice isn't just for your country, but also for Arad?" Vaughn: "Of course." Empress Skardi: "Thank you. And adventure, I'll appreciate if you help us with this. I'm sorry for giving you such short notice, but this is not an ordinary matter. I need all the help I can get. Please help us uncover the secrets of the Sky Tower, for Bel Myre and Arad. Thank you. I'll see that you can enter the Sky Tower freely from now on. Do your best to explore it."
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "(Adventurer... What I did even surprised myself. I can't believe I cut in Her Highness in my haste to speak. What was I thinking? Aww, my face feels hot... Thank the gods she's so understanding. Instead of getting angry with me, she listened to me patiently. She's a great queen, isn't she?)"

The Sky Tower's Ominous Mana

Level	17
Quest Giver	Isabella
Dungeon	Castellan's Chamber
Briefing	Isabella: "If we're done talking, I'll go back to the Empire. I think my escort is here." Vaughn Walshuted: "Yes, Your Highness. Thank you for reporting to His Majesty on my behalf." Isabella: "You're welcome. This whole thing is so exciting! Father will be happy to hear it. By the way, how did my escort arrive here so quickly? Sir Walshuted, did you call her in advance? You've been wanting to send me back home, haven't you?" Vaughn Walshuted: "No. I didn't think the number of guards you had with you matched your prestige as the Imperial Princess, so I brought in more." Isabella: "Hm... Did you now? All right, I'll believe you." Cyrus: "Your Highness, we should go." Isabella: "Okay. Aganzo. Adventurer. Good luck. Sir Walshuted, I'll leave everything else to you." Vaughn Walshuted: "Count on me. ... ... Whoo! She's gone! She's gone! The Princess is gone!" Zanbato Aganzo: "Stop jumping up and down like a three-year-old. Let's go to the Sky Tower. Vaughn, bring your most experienced members only. We need enough people to make a quick search, but I don't have time to babysit rookies." Vaughn Walshuted: "Bah, don't worry. I'll get my men ready and see you in the Sky Tower."
Objectives	Reach the top of the Sky Tower. (Clear the Castellan's Chamber.)
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Zanbato Aganzo: "The mana in this place..." Seria Kirmin: "Strange. Being on top of the Sky Tower, I should be able to feel the mana of the Great Pentacle, but I don't." Zanbato Aganzo: "I feel so out of place that, for a moment, I forgot I was holding a sword. Vaughn, the Adventurer and I will--Vaughn? What's wrong?" Vaughn Walshuted: "My arm hurts. I've been concentrating my energy on it, but it's still throbbing as badly as when it was first infected by the Ghost Arm." Seria Kirmin: "Something... Something in this tower is contaminating the air inside it. It's not the Great Pentacle, but just as powerful." Zanbato Aganzo: "I see. We'd better check the structure of this place before looking for its owner. Vaughn. The Adventurer and I will check this way. You check the other side." Vaughn Walshuted: "Got it. See you soon." Upon entering the boss room: Seria Kirmin: "Ah, that pentacle is radiating ominous energy!"
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "This pentacle is different from the Great Pentacle. Someone in the Sky Tower must have created it. It's amazing. It's affecting the mana that fills the Tower. Also, it's a very old style. Can it be related to Apostle Bakal?" Zanbato Aganzo: "We can ask those who take care of this place. Mm, what's that?"

The Rising Castle

Level	17
Quest Giver	Zanbato Aganzo
Dungeon	Floating Castle
Briefing	Zanbato Aganzo: "Is that castle connected to the Sky Tower?" Seria Kirmin: "It's rising. I can sense the same mana that flows through this pentacle from that castle. And that tainted mana..." Zanbato Aganzo: "Is it going to destroy the Great Pentacle to protect the Sky Tower?" Seria Kirmin: "No! Without the Pentacle, this whole place will turn barren!" Zanbato Aganzo: "...Wait, what's that? A staircase? It's leading to the floating castle. Adventurer, let's go."
Objectives	Go to the Floating Castle and stop the tainted mana from destroying the Great Pentacle.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Seria Kirmin: "Traces of potent magic are left here and there. A lot of effort has been put into this place. I don't think this place is moved by the Sky Tower's mana, but the residual mana left in it is contaminating the Sky Tower's mana. Maybe this castle is not part of the tower, but a completely separate building." Upon entering the boss room: Aganzo: "Is that the pentacle that moves the Floating Castle? We're running out of time. We have to stop it." Upon defeating the boss: Aganzo: "Can you stop the pentacle?" Seria Kirmin: "Let me try. I'm not strong enough... But the Great Pentacle?" <Player>: "...!"
Upon Completion	Aganzo: "The pentacle stopped. Is that lady all right? This castle can crash anytime. Let's check it out later and get out of here now."

The Light Castellan

Level	17
Quest Giver	Vaughn Walshuted
Dungeon	Castellan's Chamber
Briefing	Vaughn Walshuted: "What happened? Something big outside the Tower fell into the ocean. Did you go inside that building?" Zanbato Aganzo: "That castle was tainting the mana of the Sky Tower. It was damaging to the Great Pentacle, so Seria stopped its pentacle." Vaughn Walshuted: "This lady did? She must be really powerful. By the way, is she all right?" Zanbato Aganzo: "She spent so much mana that she passed out. She needs rest." Vaughn Walshuted: "Deputy Master, let her rest with the wounded. Let a few uninjured ones take her where they are. By the way, Aganzo, I've been sensing murderous energy coming from that place. That has to be the last place we need to investigate." Zanbato Aganzo: "Someone must be waiting for us. Let's go."
Objectives	Reach the deepest part of Castellan's Chamber.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon finding the boss: Light Castellan Sieghart: "Lord Bakal's enemies have reached this far." Aganzo: "Do you serve Apostle Bakal?" Light Castellan Sieghart: "I'm Sieghart, the Light Castellan. I protect the Sky Tower for His Lordship. You can't go past here." Aganzo: "Is Empyrean really on the other side of this tower? Why did you try to destroy the Great Pentacle?" Light Castellan Sieghart: "Because it interferes with the maintenance of Lord Bakal's pentacle." Aganzo: "Sieghart, your master died a long time ago. You don't have to follow his orders anymore." Light Castellan Sieghart: "I may no longer have a master to serve, but as a knight, I will continue to carry out my late master's commands. He ordered me to protect this place. I'll turn anyone who interferes into ashes." Vaughn: "Mister, you'll have to bring him down to stop the pentacle." Light Castellan Sieghart: "Even if you defeat me, you can't disarm Lord Bakal's pentacle. Give up and go back." Vaughn: "He can't be reasoned with." Aganzo: "He's threatening Arad in his effort to honor his dead master's orders. I'll have to fight him." Upon defeating the boss once: Vaughn: "He can't be killed." Aganzo: "Magic must be involved somehow. Or is it the curse of immortality?" G.S.D.: "You came to the right place." Sharan: "Listen, Sieghart. Your master is dead, and he left a will for you." Light Castellan Sieghart: "I've never heard of this. Are you lying to me?" Aganzo: "Sharan, what's his will?" G.S.D.: "Let me stop Sieghart first. We can talk afterward." Upon defeating the boss twice: Sharan: "Great Light Castellan, I'm not trying to deceive you. This is the proof. You know Bakal had a dark elf friend. He left his will with him, for you, because he knew you'd be left alone in the Sky Tower forever." Light Castellan Sieghart: "Lord Bakal..." Bakal, the King of Dragons: "Sieghart, I thank you for your loyalty, but you don't have to be loyal to me anymore after my death. Now rest in peace, my faithful servant." Light Castellan Sieghart: "... I have no doubt this is his will. If that's what he wants, then I can finally rest. Thank you."
Upon Completion	Seria Kirmin: "Adventuer! Are you okay? I'm sorry, I must have passed out. I'm okay now." Sharan: "Oh, didn't I see you with the Adventurer before?" Seria Kirmin: "Sharan? When did you come here?" Zanbato Aganzo: "How did you know?" G.S.D.: "I'm just her escort. A path to the top of the Sky Tower has been opened. You didn't think the master of the Mage Guild would ignore that, did you?" Sharan: "I didn't tell you this because I didn't want to make a fuss, but I've heard about the Light Castellan. I came as soon as I heard you left." Zanbato Aganzo: "Who's this dark elf friend of Bakal's?" Sharan: "Kargon's father. He happened to hear his last words while trying to escape from a war in Empyrean." Seria Kirmin: "A war in Empyrean... Ah, what about the Great Pentacle?" Sharan: "Let's take a look at it."

What Falls from the Sky

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Dungeon	Castellan's Chamber
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "Oh, thank the gods, you stopped the castellan before the Great Pentacle received too much damage." Zanbato Aganzo: "Good. Then what about Empyrean? Now that Sieghart is dead, can we reach Empyrean?" Sharan: "No. Bakal's pentacle is still blocking the skies between Arad and Empyrean. Unless it disintegrates after a long enough time passes, or it's destroyed by Bakal himself, we won't be able to reach Empyrean." Vaughn Walshuted: "We can't reach Empyrean? Bah, all that excitement was for nothing." Sharan: "But the gates to Empyrean won't stay closed forever. It might take decades or even a century, but it will open and we should be ready for it." If player is an Agent <Player>: (The Master couldn't have passed through here, either. Can he still be in Arad?) If player is a Gunner <Player>: "No..." Zanbato Aganzo: "I see. Then let's go back down." Vaughn Walshuted: "Okay. Err? What's that?" Seria Kirmin: "That's...?"
Objectives	Go above the Castellan's Chamber.
Dungeon Dialogue	Upon entering the dungeon: Vaughn: "Wah! What was that? Something came flying and hit me!" Aganzo: "Is this...? Is this Bakal's magic too?" Upon entering the boss room: Seria Kirmin: "Oh, there are people! There are people inside the airship that crashed!"
Upon Completion	Vaughn Walshuted: "Wow, one surprise after another."

Reporting to Empress Skardi

Level	17
Quest Giver	Seria Kirmin
Briefing	Seria Kirmin: "Are you okay? Wake up!" Ophelia: "Ah... Where am I...? Who are you...?" Seria Kirmin: "I'm Seria. Don't worry. We'll help you." Ophelia: "My name is Ophelia. Please help... ..." Seria Kirmin: "She passed out. She's not injured badly, but she's exhausted." Zanbato Aganzo: "Let's take her with us. We've got quite a few things to report to Her Majesty." G.S.D.: "Then I'd better go now." Sharan: "Me too. I have to write a report. Come to me when you're done talking to your empress."
Objectives	Leave the Sky Tower and report to Empress Skardi in Hendon Myre City Hall. Meet Skardi: 0/1
Upon Completion	Skardi: "You came. I've been waiting for you. I saw something fall from the vicinity of the Sky Tower. What was it?" Aganzo: "We don't know either. After we defeated the castellan of the Sky Tower, something showed up outside the Tower and landed on it. We found a woman inside of it, unconscious." Skardi: "I see. Tell me what happened after you entered the Tower, including the discovery of that woman."

Sharan's Proposition

Level	17
Quest Giver	Skardi
Briefing	Skardi: "I see. Then I'll let the Mage Guild manage the Great Pentacle. Sir Walshuted, thank you for your help in the investigation in the Sky Tower. However, the Sky Tower belongs to Bel Myre. You came here to eliminate the threat of the Tower. Now that it's achieved, you have no more reason to say, now do you?" Vaughn Walshuted: "But Your Majesty, you know that the Great Pentacle and the Sky Tower aren't the only reason we're here. It's the Metastasis we ultimately want to investigate and prevent--" Zanbato Aganzo: "Your Majesty, the rest of us shouldn't be here for a discussion that should be held between the two countries. Please allow us to leave." Skardi: "Sure, go ahead. Aganzo. And brave adventurer. Thank you so much for your help." Zanbato Aganzo: "Adventurer, I'm going to go to the infirmary and check on that lady named Ophelia. You should go to Sharan."
Objectives	Go to Sharan in the Mage Guild. Meet Sharan: 0/1  Purified Crystal (1)
Upon Completion	Sharan: "Welcome. I've been waiting for you. I'd like to apologize for my rudeness during our initial meeting. I meet all kinds of adventurers on a daily basis, and I thought you were just one of them. Also, I was distracted at the time because one of us went missing. Haven't you seen a blond girl near the Sky Tower? ...I see. If she didn't go to the Tower, then where did she go? Oh, I've heard you have a fragment of the Great Pentacle. If you give it to me, we'll use it to repair the Pentacle." Seria Kirmin: "There you go." Sharan: "Hm... This fragment was contaminated once. Who purged it?" Seria Kirmin: "I did. Is there a problem?" Sharan: "No. I'm just surprised by your great skill. Seria, how'd you like to stay here and help us manage the Great Pentacle?" Seria Kirmin: "Excuse me?" Sharan: "You came from Elvenguard, right? Not may people are knowledgeable in the Great Pentacles in Grand Flores or here. I also need help studying Bakal's pentacle." Seria Kirmin: "Erm... Please give me a moment to think."
