Nemon: I'm not entirely convinced we'll find this Reuben in that prison.

Nemon: Hell, I'm not even convinced he's still alive. But what other options are there?

Nemon: Let's follow what leads we have, even if they are hazy.

Nemon: Let's hurry. We still have a long way to go.

Step 1 · 8 lines

Menrik: You're here, Nemon.

Nemon: Did you gather any useful information?

Menrik: None at all. I can't reach any of the legionnaires here. The last Selvis transmission came from someone who infiltrated the underkeep...

Menrik: She claimed to have found a Destruction Archon. But that was all she said, and I haven't been able to contact her since.

Nemon: Is that all? We can't go rushing into Balaur territory based on so little.

Menrik: Right... As impatient as I am to get my comrades out of there, it would only lead to more casualties.

Menrik: Looks like we have no choice but to ask around again. The refugees are too agitated to be of much help, though.

Nemon: That's why I brought plenty of Odyle Jelly. People tend to be more talkative when you come bearing gifts.

Step 2 · 11 lines

Petra: Wh-Who are you? I haven't seen you before... I've got nothing to say to you. Go away...!

Petra: I said leave me alone—! Huh? I-Isn't this Odyle Jelly? Thank you, thank you so much!

Petra: The Dranactus Underkeep? Hmm... Laborers aren't usually taken there unless they really misbehave.

Petra: The Mumu working around there are fairly timid, too. As long as you behave, you're generally left alone.

Petra: A Destruction Archon? Aren't they just some old legend? If any of them survived, why aren't they helping us?

Bjorik: You'll pay me for information? Psh, as if I'd fall for that.

Bjorik: O-Odyle Jelly! You really meant it... I'll tell you anything you want to know!

Bjorik: The Dranactus Underkeep? Yeah, I'm familiar. It's where they torture Daeva to within an inch of their lives.

Bjorik: Oh, you want to know where it is? Ha! Nobody knows that.

Bjorik: How would we? No Daeva has ever made it back out to tell us.

Bjorik: Those Mumu can probably tell you more than us refugees.

Step 3 · 9 lines

Nemon: Nobody knows or has seen anything at all.

Nemon: It's not as if I expected detailed intel from a bunch of laborers, but we really learned nothing.

Menrik: Shall we give the Mumu a try, then?

Menrik: There's a lot of them around. Surely at least one of them must have gone into the underkeep at some point.

Menrik: As long as we stay clear of the watchtowers, we shouldn't run into much trouble.

Nemon: Sounds good to me. Still, there's no reason to attract unnecessary attention. Let's split up to be less noticeable.

Menrik: Sounds good to me. But ‹your name›, do you know how to speak Mau?

Menrik: Here's a language book. You've used a language artifact before, haven't you? You'll need to know Mau to speak with the Mumu.

Menrik: Try reading the book again after.

Turning in · 2 lines

Menrik: ‹your name›, did you learn the language?

Menrik: Perfect, then you're ready to go.

When it is done

"Those Mumu can probably tell you more than us refugees." At the Briskwind Shelter, you asked about Dranactus Underkeep and Destruction Archon survivors but were unable to get any useful information. Many people were frightened and withdrawn by the recent incidents of refugees being used as forced labor. As you distributed Odyle Jelly and food to gather more information, you decided that the Mumu in Dranactus would be a better source of information.
