I know why you're here, your character. You want your Pattern of Tenacity and I want a job done. It won't take you long, not if you're as strong as you say you are.

Have you ever noticed that everything seems to go scaly around Volatile Rifts? There's something about them that drives the animals mad. Even a cute Elpy will turn on you and try to bite your nose off. p

That is absolutely the case here. The Volatile Rifts have created Creatures of the Fissure, and I can't kill them all myself. Help me, and I'll help you. Understand?

Those blasted creatures are a true nuisance.

Every time I turn around, someone hands me a report about how the creatures have trampled a garden or held a public official hostage. Did you handle the problem?

Truly? Nicely done. I see why Empyrean Lord Marchutan trusts you. I'm sure you'll make him proud.

As promised, here is your Pattern of Tenacity. Walk in Azphel's shadow.

1. Infiltrate Cygnea through a Volatile Rift and kill the Creatures of the Fissure. (/10)

2. Report the results to Mashinee.

Infiltrate Cygnea through a Volatile Rift and kill the Creatures of the Fissure.

Mashinee told you to infiltrate Cygnea through a Volatile Rift and kill the Creatures of the Fissure.

When you reported back to Mashinee, she gave you Marchutan's Pattern of Tenacity as a reward.
