Those treacherous sludgebacks. We had a deal to use The Old Road in return for leaving their lands out of this conflict. Since then, I've pulled three Tomul knives from Asmodian corpses, as if the Elyos weren't enough of a problem on The Old Road. This ends now.

We'll deal with the Tomul and Elyos, but I need you to secure an alternative route to advance our warfront. Initial reports state we could have some luck moving through the Moon Thicket. There should only be light resistance. Nothing you can't handle on your own.

You'll find hostility in the Levinshor Airons and Noxious Mudthorns, but not much else. If you don't clear them out ahead of time, they'll impede our movements. Once you're done, find Gemuit at the West Relay. Let Gemuit know the bypass route is clear.

What can I do for you, Daeva?

Be quick, if you can. There is already plenty to worry about.

Oh, that's... that's very good news.

Everything is already dealt with. Things may not be as dire as I... I mean, everything is fine. Good work.

We'd better make the most out of what little time Rink has bought for us.

1. Eradicate the Hindrances

   Levinshor Airon (/3)

   Noxious Mudthorn (/3)

2. Report back to Gemuit, who appears when the Asmodians capture the West Relay.

Eradicate the Levinshor Airons and Noxious Mudthorns.

Rink asked you to remove the obstructions in the Moon Thicket in order to secure the bypass route.

When you reported the outcome to Gemuit after removing the obstacles, he said that they'd better make the most out of the time allowed for them.
