Dialogue
 * "You there, Sunspear, you're not busy, are you? An important delegate representing Mehtu the Wise is waiting right outside. Don't you know about Mehtu, the Scholar Prince of Vabbi? This researcher works for him and is in need of an escort to excavations in Jokanur Diggings. You would be doing Istan a great service in its relations with Vabbi if you could help out. What say you?"

Intermediate Dialogue (Zerai the Learner)
 * "Ahai! I am Zerai, and I've come all the way from the great library at the Halls of Chokhin to represent Prince Mehtu the Wise in the Vabbian delegation. While here in Istan i Want to meet with a fellow scholar of mine in Jokanur Diggings. Her name is Midauha... she's... she's... wow. Brilliant, lovely, clever...she's an astronomer, and I'd love to spend some time disucssing research with her. But before we head over there, I have a small favor to ask. Would you help me collect 12 Iboga blossoms by slaying the Beautiful Iboga blossoms in this area? They have a very special... um... plant specimen... that I'd like to provide for my colleague."


 * "A dozen of these Iboga blossoms should be perfect. Let's head over to the excavation now."

Reward Dialogue (Midauha)
 * "Zerai told you to bring me these? He is such a sweetheart! He knows I love Iboga blossoms. The chemical makup of this particualr bloom is magnificent! It's unforunate that Zerai had to leave. We only had a short time to... uh... discuss my research thesis. Well if you see him again, pleace let him know I'm always up for another... academic debate."

Walkthrough
Zerai is just outside Champion's Dawn. Once you talk to him, he will follow along slowly. He does not fight, but he also will not get targeted by enemies. You must now find roaming packs of Beautiful Ibogas. They travel in groups of three, so to fill the quota, you must kill four groups of them. While there are twelve Beautiful Ibogas on the map, you can also leave and return to respawn them. Once you have the flowers, go to the entrance to Jokanur Diggings, but don't enter yet. If you enter before Zarai reaches there, you will have to escort him back across the map. Wait for Zerai to reach the entrance to trigger the next step in the quest.
