Ryan left Sunstone City with a new quest item in hand. The artifact pulsed faintly against his palm, a strange little thing that would release a subtle pheromone once placed at the entrance of the Giant Insect Nest. That, he knew, would draw Bishop Dimia out from her hidden sanctuary. If she truly was the figure he believed her to be, she would have no choice but to appear.
A quiet calm settled over him. Most of his objectives were already complete; all that remained was to set the item in its place and bring this long quest to an end. With the city behind him and the wilderness stretching forward, Ryan opened the guild channel, ready for a bit of lighthearted chatter.
