I once talked to an archaeologist about Marayas. He was long-winded, but very interesting.
I just enjoy imagining what the city was like when it was new--when citizens walked its streets, lived in its buildings.
Looking at it now, it's a little sad to realize just how far it's fallen.
True. But what's left in the ruins are still in decent shape, considering how long it's been since they were built.
I wonder if it's because of magical spells, the architecture, or maybe the strength of the stone.
Probably the stone, since it's still giving us problems today.
Rubble from the ruins have been turning into rock monsters that attack our patrols. I don't know what kind of lingering magic caused them to rise, but my superiors are getting fed up.
I'm about to go destroy some. Want to join me, [%username]?
Great! We need to destroy [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF4_MaidengolemRe2_54_An]s, [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF4_StatueM_Re_54_An]s, and [%dic:STR_DIC_M_DF4_SAM_Reric2_54_An]s.
We'll coordinate so we keep to opposite ends of the city. That way we won't step on each other's toes.
We can't just stand here admiring the architecture forever, so why don't we get started?
That's probably for the best. My superiors might think less of my abilities if they hear I asked for help.
I was assigned this task, so I'll take care of it. Wish me luck!
Whew, that was quite a workout. I think I took down my share of rock monsters.
How about you? Bet you demolished the....
Oh, no! That reminds me--I hope you didn't damage the buildings. I'm under orders to preserve them for study.
That's a relief! I don't think I could've forgiven myself if such a magnificent place was damaged.
But having fewer rock creatures around will really help our patrols do their job.
You've done good work today. Take some time off and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Destroy dangerous stone creatures.

Talk with [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Ricaldo].
Eradicate stone creatures that harry the Defense Base's security.
Ricaldo said that rock monsters in the Lost City of Marayas were endangering Asmodian patrols.
You helped him reduce the monster population in the city, and received a well-earned reward for your trouble.
