your character, let's talk for a moment. It'll take my mind off... my wounds.

You're a mercenary, like me. We've spent most of our time here culling the local wildlife, and I've come to find the Poeta environs intriguing.

This region is remote, so it's seen few battles. As a result, there are undisturbed ruins here. And the animals... they're wonderful! When they're not attacking us, that is. Nghh... damn that Worg.

Have you seen the Fearless Fungie? They're an amazing species unique to... ah... my... back....

I'm getting better. My fever has gone. The wound still... burns, though.

Anyway, I'd like to study the Fearless Fungie. Rumor has it that they were simple plants, transformed by the Cataclysm... mutated!

Will you help me study these creatures, your character? I'd like a few specimens. Or... rather, their hearts.

Excellent! I knew you had a curious mind.

The Fearless Fungies roam on the Agaric Spore Road. I'd like to have a few hearts for my anatomy sketchbook.

A scientific curiosity to ponder... while I heal. To think--a plant with a heart!

A shame.

I shouldn't expect mercenaries to share my enthusiasm for natural studies. Though I wasn't born a naturalist... my love for this world grew over time.

You better get going, your character. But look more closely at the world around you, eh?

You're back!

Did you find... the Fungie Hearts?

No, your character, Fungie Hearts, fresh ones!

Please make sure you bring several, enough to see individual differences, you know.

I think I need to rest now....

your character, these are perfect!

Now I can study these and learn if they arose out of the Cataclysm... or natural evolution.... A perfect project to calm a fevered mind!

Thank you, friend. Please... take this as a token. I'll mention you in my paper, too.

1. Go to the Agaric Spore Road and gather Fungie Hearts for Melponeh to study.

   Fungie's Heart x3

Melponeh, a naturalist, wants some Fungie Hearts to study. Go to the Agaric Spore Road and hunt Fearless Fungies!

Melponeh is an amateur historian specializing in Sapien history. She asked you for some Fearless Fungie hearts to study while she heals from an infected wound.

You hunted Fungies on the Agaric Spore Road and brought their hearts to Melponeh, who can now study the Cataclysm's effect on the natural world.
