The village is in trouble, Daeva. In times of conflict, symbols take on greater meaning. People cling to them.

Unfortunately, under the cover of night, the Kobolds stole inside the Nobelium and swiped the Village Seal!

I've made my feelings clear to Abolos. His response was, as ever, "No comment."

The seal isn't just a token. It has practical uses. All our official documents are branded with its signet.

What of Sanctum? Without official correspondence, we'll be cut off. They can't just trust any papers that come their way.

I don't suppose you could return the seal for us? It would be a great help! I wouldn't ask otherwise, believe me.

I'm certain it's somewhere in the Dukaki Mine. Kobolds have a tendency to stack all their loot in one place, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.

Will you help?

Oh, this is marvelous! Thank you. I can't tell you how grateful I am.

Please, go to the Dukaki Mine and find the stack of stolen items. The Village Seal will be within it somewhere. You just have to look, not get caught, and bring it back.

Good luck, friend!

I understand. I'm sure you have many important responsibilities.

It's just...if we don't get the seal back, the entire village is in danger of being forgotten.

Will you reconsider?

(This is a rather large stack of stolen items.)

(Shining fragments of jewelry, precious stones, and trinkets lay scattered among the dirt and debris. Something catches your eye--something that looks as if it's only been put here recently.)

(It must be the Village Seal.)

(You pull at it, but the seal won't budge.)

(It seems that all the items are stuck fast.)

Stupid Daeva! what are you doing in this place?

Kobolds not like trespassers!

If I spotted you, anyone can!

Oh, Village Seal. Sounds important, akakak!

But you not get it like that. Kobolds stuck all shiny things together. I see. Sprayed some nasty stuff all over them they did.

You listen to me. You won't pull it free. Better just go back home.

1. Go to the Dukaki Mine and find the village seal in the stack of items.

2. Get advice from Gaphyrk.

Kobolds have stolen the Village Seal. The priest told you that no official documents can be made without the seal, so you promised to find it in the Dukaki Mine.

Kobolds stole the Village Seal. Without the Seal, no official documents can be made.

At Priest Santenius's request, you went to the Dukaki Mine and found the seal. Unfortunately, you could not get it unstuck from the stack of items.

A Shugo locked up nearby told you that the Kobolds had stuck all the items together.
