Dialogue
 * "(Cast as the hero again, huh? Talk about typecasting.... Well, let's get on with it.) It seems a band of Crimson Skulls has fled camp and taken up refuge outside of the monastery. They refuse to move on the grounds that their encampment is cursed. They haven't broken any laws so we can't forcibly remove them. Find out what's got them spooked and see if you can take care of it."


 * Accept: "Here I come to save the day!" Too cliché?
 * Reject: "Pirates are so yesterday. I'm going to have to talk to my agent..."
 * When asked about quest: "*Cough* I said "Travel to Sunqua Vale and question the 'Crimson Skull Captain"."''

Intermediate Dialogue 1 (Crimson Skull Captain)
 * "(Uh...what's my line again? Oh yeah.) We were just lounging around, counting our stole...er, hard-earned treasures when suddenly the air turned black as night. A beast emerged and tore my men limb from limb! Those quick on their feet fled, but many were lost in the fray. Until that creature is exterminated, we refuse to return."

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (Crimson Skull Captain)
 * "We watched you fight from the hilltop. Well done!"
 * "Should we discover another one of those...things...we shall not hesitate to find you."

Reward Dialogue
 * "I half expected this to be a twisted Crimson Skull plot; at least that wasn't the case. The frequency with which we are encountering these beasts is alarming. We must discover the source if the area is to be secured. (I really need to work on my motivation for this line. It's just not working for me.)"

Followup
 * Darkness at Kaitan

Walkthrough
