Good work killing the dreugh hive-queen in Lake Andaram. I informed the Temple that the Mages Guild sent their best %PCRank to protect the good pilgrims and tradesmer of the Thirr. They've given us a generous reward for our service. That reward should cover the costs of all of Tynachos' recent research.

You've been expelled. You can't do any work for me until you've made amends.

Now there's no creature in the lake and no soul in my collection. I don't want to hear of it.

A splendid soul. You're happy with your reward, yes?

What? You've killed the creature already? You had that soul in your grasp and you squandered the chance! Unforgiveable! Get out of my chambers. I need to mourn the loss of a unique experience.

Well then, get on with it.

This is... this is... I don't know what this is. Looking into this soul is like looking into the abyssal depths. It's tenebrous. It's seething. It's truly cyclopean. How unsettling. This soul makes me... uncomfortable. I don't think I should keep this in my chambers. Good work. Unsettling work. But good work nonetheless. Here, take this enchanted helm. You've earned it.

Did you hunt down the soul yet?

I heard the rumor from a pilgrim who passed through Aimrah recently. Try asking around there. Whatever it is, it's going to be difficult to reach, and even more difficult to kill.
