Problems, problems! Workers are not finding relics, nyerk.

Many days now, no progress at all!

Union Leader Meniherk will hold Yadamonerk accountable. Permanently. Bad, bad, very bad, nyerk.

Daeva can be trusted, yes? Is not Daeva of False Hope? Yadamonerk has bad feeling about this.

Some Shugos are not to be trusted. Tail-twisters! Krall-tongues! Must be hiding relics where honest Shugos cannot see.

No one will confess such things to Yadamonerk, but a Daeva--who would dare lie to you? You will ask them, yes?

Yes, yes. The Shugos are Guruminerk and Lianminerk.

But Daeva must ask with delicate words. Guruminerk must not understand. Pretend to want goods, see what they will sell.

When finished, speak with Tiesansanerk. See if any Shugos have brought him relics recently.

Yadamonerk can prove nothing. Not even Daeva believes there are problems.

Ten days is nine too many with empty hands, nyerk. No Shugo will admit false trading to another, but to a Daeva....

If you ask to buy, they will surely try to sell you relics, yes? Yadamonerk's life is worth more than his Kinah, but Daeva has both in hands. Please help!

Hot, hot! Dust and wind and sun! Guruminerk's hair tangles and thins, nyerk.

Union Leader Meniherk would not recognize his favorite Shugo looking like this.

Has Daeva come with good news? Guruminerk is to be reassigned?

Trade? Here? This is no city of commerce. Is place of working!

Or was, until Kerubar came to the Crimson Barrens digging and kicking up dust. Honest Shugos cannot do honest work, much less trade!

Guruminerk will not have any success until they are gone, but at least his hair will remain glossy and smooth, yes?

Daeva can save words. Lianminerk knows already what you came for.

Yadamonerk's lies again, yes?

Honest Shugo have no need of masks and go-betweens!

Daeva assumes Shugos dealing under the table! Typical. No relics here, hidden or otherwise.

Lianminerk deals on top, not beneath.

Go back to Yadamonerk with empty hands, not lies. "President Shugo" wants relics, first must remove Kerubar from the Excavation Site!

Welcome, welcome! How can Tiesansanerk help a Noble Daeva?

This warehouse is safest of all. No item ever misplaced, ask anyone.

And accident free for at least three days!

Daeva should assume posture of Shame! Rules forbid this answer!

Tiesansanerk is Warehouse Keeper with principles. Perhaps Sanctum keepers tell any stranger what they protect, but not here!

Besides, no Shugo would do such a thing. Why keep when you can sell? Daeva should go, before other rules are broken!

Yadamonerk's eyes are dry from looking. Where did Daeva go?

You spoke to the Shugos, yes? Tell, tell!

Fair deals require full disclosure. Daeva must share all details!

Kerubar? Kerubar! Never have they caused such trouble.

Daeva must have heard it wrong. You are sure they do not trade as one shop?

Yadamonerk will have to be content with the answer given, nyerk.

1. Talk with Guruminerk.

2. Talk with Lianminerk.

3. Talk with Tiesansanerk.

4. Talk with Yadamonerk.

The Meniherk Excavation Union is supposed to report any relics they find, but lately none have surfaced. Question the union members for Yadamonerk, the branch manager who suspects something is wrong.

Yadamonerk, the Theobomos branch manager of the Meniherk Excavation Union, became suspicious of his fellow Shugos when no relics were reported for many days.

He knew they wouldn't tell him the truth, so he asked you to meet them and sound them out.

When you questioned the union members about the relics, they complained that they couldn't work due to the Kerubar that were overrunning the Excavation Site.
