Lin, these aren't maniacs, but some kind of dwarves. I don't understand who they are. Bogarts? Gnomes? Kobolds? Evil, bloodthirsty beavers? Forceful intervention will likely be required.
We have Jo and Radiell available in the middle of Lake Nikta. We can summon Sket, she's a flying unit.
We can wait for reinforcements from the others, including you. Considering that it's not yet clear what we're dealing with, I like this option the most.
Sket, your task is to analyze the lore: who lives on the ocean floor and resides in stone statues.
Lin replies:
- If you haven't found the alchemist, continue searching for him, and only engage in combat if you're sure you can neutralize the enemy without casualties on your side.
- If you have found the alchemist, return to complete the quest, preferably with ingredients for a potion, but it's not mandatory. The target's health is the priority.
