Mission:Ginger Yates - Go to a Devouring Earth cave and see if you can find out what's causing the heroes' strange new attitudes
Go to a Devouring Earth cave and see if you can find out what's causing the heroes' strange new attitudes (35-37)
Briefing
I've noticed something troubling, Character, and I hope you can help me get to the bottom of it. After encounters with the Devouring Earth, several of my heroes have been expressing sympathy for the creatures' goal of reverting the planet to nature. It just doesn't seem normal. I'd like you to go to a Devouring Earth cave and see if you can find out what's causing my heroes' strange new attitudes. But be careful; I don't want to lose you, too!
Mission Acceptance
The heroes I'm talking about used to value human safety above all. Something is definitely amiss.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I still don't know what's changed the attitudes of my heroes, but I'm worried about them. Please, find the answer!
Mission Objective(s)
The floor of this cave bears recent human tracks. It seems the Devouring Earth aren't alone.
- Defeat all DE in cave base
- Find cause of heroes' change
You defeated the Devouring Earth and recovered a clue to the heroes' strange new attitudes.
Enemies
This small pouch, found in a Devouring Earth cave, is composed of plant material. It is almost weightless, and seems to contain only gas.
Debriefing
Preliminary findings on that pouch you recovered indicate that it contains a mixture of gaseous chemicals that directly affect the brain. I don't know how the Devouring Earth engineered this stuff, but it seems to be entirely organic; there's no gas in this pouch that could be produced in a lab. Now that we have a sample, we should be able to engineer a counter-agent. It looks like my heroes will be back on the job in no time!
