There's something rotten in Eltnen, I fear, something scaly.
Yesterday, near Kuriullu Mountain, I came across some people. They were Lepharist Revolutionaries, so I hid 'til they passed.
But among the Lepharists were...others.
No! Greenish monsters, with a fish's head. I've seen my share of creatures, but nothing like these. They called them 'Pretor,' but....
I must identify them! They're from somewhere, but why? To what end?
You must help me, [%username].
Well, trap some Pretor Looters and bring some [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1389a] back here.
With at least ten samples, I can likely deduce their origins.
From that, we may learn why they were brought.
No, no! Please, [%username]! Any use the Lepharists have for these beasts is bound to mean bloodshed, at LEAST.
We can't let them go un-checked. I wish I had your [%userclass] prowess.
Maybe I could bait a pit with radishes....
Ah, the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1389a]!
Did you see? Such strange, corrupted creatures!
I hope you're all right. Such sharp teeth!
Oh. Was ten bits of [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1389a] too many? Hmmm....
Blast. No, this requires destructive tests, so I'm afraid ten's the minimum.
You can do this, [%username].
Eeeugh. Filthy stuff.
But there's enough here to study.
Let's hope it tells us something.
Collect samples of [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_1389a] and bring them to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Esaias].
[%collectitem]Esaias saw some Lepharist Revolutionaries with a strange creature. Bring him tissue samples from the 'Pretor.'
Esaias saw some Lepharists with a strange beast, a Pretor, and was concerned at what it might be for. It is vital, he said, to find out.
You obtained skin samples from the Pretor Looters and brought them to Esaias.
