You say, 'I am honored Deep One, but who is this 'we'.'

Tarhansar the Deep One says, 'Darkness. Comes. <Player Name>. Like. A. Plague. Consuming. All.'

You say, 'I don't think I understand.'

You say, 'Hail, Projection of the Deep'

Projection of the Deep seems to glow for a moment. 'This is much better. I am Tarhansar, and it is my pleasure to speak with you <Player Name>.'

You say, 'But... you aren't the Deep One!'

Projection of the Deep says, 'I am the Ocean. I am the seas. I am a part of everything in this realm, and can speak through them when the need arises. I must conserve my strength, for the darkness ahead.'

You say, 'You mention this darkness again... and you said you had need of me...'

Projection of the Deep says, 'Indeed. <Player Name> I represent many things to many people. Many worship me hoping I will bring them safety or fortune. And these I help when I can. Others, like you, see me as a way to enhance the greater good. In these dark times, people like you helping my other worshipers, is the most important thing I can do.'

You say, 'Who needs help Deep One? I'll do what I can.'

Projection of the Deep says, 'Before I send you out and into danger, I wish for you to prove yourself. Those most devout to me, often leave offerings, jewelry blessed in my name. I wish for you to collect three such tokens, left by bodies of water for my servants to collect. A fishing village in the Western Badlands. A gnoll village in Lake Starfall. The cliffs of Erudin. Find the offerings, and bring them to me, and then the true tasks can begin.'

Gather and give Projection of the Deep:

• Lake Blessed Necklace
• River Blessed Necklace
• Bay Blessed Necklace

Projection of the Deep glows deeply for a moment. 'The prayers and hope of the people empower me.'

You gain 7500 experience!!

You say, 'Shall we speak of this coming darkness now?'

Projection of the Deep says, 'It is a subtle thing <Player Name>. I know not the nature of what I feel. But it is something you can feel in sea. See in the action of those who come near it. This darkness could consume my followers if given free reign. I ask now for you to become a defender.'

You say, 'A defender?'

Projection of the Deep says, 'It is my way. The defender. We shield those who can not defend themselves. We protect those in danger when they need it most. But you are free to do so by any means you see fit.'

You say, 'Very well, what is my task then?'

Projection of the Deep says, 'In the Sea of Swords, live Sarin and Marika Clearwater. They own an inn on an island, and give respite to weary travelers. They have prayed for relief, and I wish to grant them assistance. Find them, and assist in any way you can. This I command.'

Marika Clearwater

Marika Clearwater says, 'Name's Marika, friend. My husband owns this little inn. Everyone's welcome to this holy place. Do you need a room for the night?'

You say, 'I come in the name of the Deep One. What troubles you enough to seek out Tarhansar's aid.'

Marika Clearwater says, 'Tarhansar has sent you to answer our prayers? Praise to the Deep One! We have a terrible situation that no one will handle. Please help us.'

You say, 'Tell me what plagues you.'

Marika Clearwater says, 'Pirates. They have always been a part of life on the high seas, and they would occasionally cause us trouble here, but it has gotten unbearable in the last few months. The Silvercrown do nothing to stop them, rather employing them to stop the Blackscale vessels instead. I fear for us and the others who depend on this island.'

You say, 'Then I shall remind the pirates that they depend on Tarhansars grace more than most.'

Marika Clearwater says, 'Thank you! Return to quickly when you have finished with proof of the deed. A dagger and three earrings should be enough. We should be able to use these as proof that Tarhansar favors us, and keep them away from our home.'

Gather and give Marika Clearwater:

• Cutthroat's Knife
• Pirate Earring x3

Marika Clearwater says, 'Glory to the Deep One! And thank you <Player Name>. Here, it isn't much but it is a reward for you. This, however, belongs to Tarhansar now. Please take it as a sacrifice and symbol of our devotion to the Deep One.'

Frankie Furfoot says, 'Yo, what up?'

You say, 'Umm hi?'

Frankie Furfoot says, 'We already did that part. You aren't very smart are you?'

You say, 'Hey who do you think you are buddy!'

Frankie Furfoot says, 'Frankie Furfoot's the name. I take it you're a Tarhansar worshipper as well?'

You say, 'Indeed, I just completed my first mission for the Deep One.'

Frankie Furfoot nods. 'Ya, lots to do around here. Sometimes it seems only Tarhansar actually keeps an eye out for the little guy. I mean where's Althuna, am I right?'

You say, 'She has her reasons I'm sure.'

Frankie Furfoot says, 'Lemme tell you something. They ain't good ones. You don't let people die just cuz whats happening to them isn't against some arbitrary moral code.'

You say, 'I don't really care about her.'

Frankie Furfoot nods, 'Ya she ain't worth the time. Not when we got heads to bust in Tarhansars name!'

Projection of the Deep says, 'Enough Frankie. You have your orders investigate the Northern Wastes of Tarhyl. <Player Name>, speak with me, I have another task for you as well.'

Frankie Furfoot says, 'Ya, ya. Catch ya <Player Name>.'

You say, 'Hail, Projection of the Deep'

Projection of the Deep says, 'I don't ask that you like my servants, <Player Name>. Just that you work with them when the need arrises. Enough idle talk, on to your task.'

You say, 'What seems to be the problem?'

Projection of the Deep says, 'I would ask that you return to the isle of the Erudites. Erudin is known as a sanctuary of knowledge and freemen. My influence there is Small, despite the islands size, thus I treasure my few followers there.'

You say, 'Who needs my assistance in Erudin?

Projection of the Deep says, 'Her name is High Priestess Chaunella. And though she does not preach my word to her peers, she does much to keep the seas around Erudin safe. Whatever she needs, you are to accomplish. I expect no less from one with such inner strength.'

High Priestess Chaunella

You say, 'What is it, I can help.'

High Priestess Chaunella says, 'I hope you can. In the nearby Mist Woods, exists a manor quite dark, brimming with evil and forbidden magics. While the usual adventurer keeps the number of creatures there to a manageable level, a necromancer known as the Master Preserver is making things complicated.'

You say, 'Master Preserver? How so?'

High Priestess Chaunella says, 'He... I know him <Player Name>. We were siblings a long time ago. We were poor then... a fishing family trying to get by. He lost his way. I've tried to protect him, keep him as safe as I can, in the deluded hope that maybe he would return, but he has gone too far. And I don't have the strength to stop him.'

You say, 'What is he planning?'

High Priestess Chaunella says, 'He's already moved. He is kidnapping citizens of Erudin, the young and the sick, and performing cruel experiments on them. <Player Name>, please. Kill my brother. No, kill this Master Preserver who inhabits my brothers body. My brother has a very distinct scar across his hands. Bring me back one as proof that you have done what must be done. If he will not show himself, try to lure him out by attacking other preservers.'

High Priestess Chaunella sighs. 'Thank you <Player Name>... I... I need to take this in but...

You gain 10000 experience!!

High Priestess Chaunella finds her resolve. 'I'll be fine. But we have another minor emergency that needs to be handled, and no one to do it. A Large bear, nick named Old Mist Paw has lived in the Mist Woods for years. He's always left us alone, but for reasons no one understands he has begun to attack travelers.
