• Nobody owns this
• Stumm's Messenger Golem
• Murmur Isle
• Hey, careful where you step, okay? I don't need you tracking that stuff all over the lab.
• What stuff?
• I'll watch where I'm walking.
• Speed Boon Caster
  • Receive speed boons
• We get tar elementals slithering in here all the time. I tell my boss that's going to happen if you leave the doors wide open all day. We never had distractions like this back at Terranexic Labs.
• Aren't tar elementals dangerous?
• Sure, they can be tough to kill, but it's even tougher trying to scrape their mucky carcasses up off the floor afterwards. They don't pay me enough to do post-infiltration janitor work.
• War requires everyone to make sacrifices.
• This isn't a lab, it's a sewer. Bad enough we've got tar elementals traipsing in here all the time like they own the place, but Merla bringing her rat thing in here, too?
• Who's Merla?
• I agree you should be concerned, but we need to move on.
• Sounds like someone needs a nap.
• [lbracket]Speed Boons[rbracket]
• She does seem determined. We should help her.
• Zojja is almost as brilliant as her mentor—when her intelligence doesn't outdistance her wisdom. She doesn't see that, though. We should help her first, then worry about Eir.
• Scholar Merla's the lead researcher here. She's obsessed with the undead, so all we do is try to develop new weapons or energies or concoctions to make their unpleasant existence even more unpleasant.
• Ramp Up
• Stairs Down
• I'm not sure. How can you tell if your weapon is doing any damage to a corpse that's already diseased, dead and decomposing?
• What "rat thing" are you talking about?
• That fidgetty, malodorous, barely conversant skritt that Merla calls her assistant. Skittering around here all day. I say, if you want something done right, build a golem to do it.
• I guess golems would be easier to lab train.
• You're right. Let's go find her.
• Waterfall
• Distressed Friend
• [lbracket]Guardian Trainer[rbracket]
• Always refreshing to see a new face at the Cachistic R&D, where we strive to achieve the unachievable.
• I'm here because I strive to learn the unlearnable.
• Sounds like you're proud of what you're doing here.
• I think I'll just have a look around.
• [lbracket]Necromancer Trainer[rbracket]
• We're making history inside these walls. Let the warriors futilely pound away day after day on the front lines–the truth is, the war against the Risen in going to be won right here.
• What makes you so confident about success?
• Because Scholar Merla is the most brilliant researcher I've ever had the pleasure of working with. What she can do with a rotting corpse is a thing of beauty. Sorry, I'm tearing up here.
• Merla should consider herself lucky to have someone as passionate as you.
• Some day, there will be all sorts of monuments and plaques on these walls. And schoolchildren will take field trips just to see the famous Cachistic R&D lab.
• Monuments and plaques to what?
• The research going on here could prove to be the key to turning the tide against the Risen. It would be beneficial for you to learn about it. However, these researchers are very suspicious of strangers.
• How can I gain their trust?
• My story continues here...
• I advise you don't turn your back on anyone during your stay at Meddler's Summit. Of course, whenever you turn to face anyone, you're turning your back on everyone else. Something to think about.
• What happened to make you become a...uh...ne'er-do-well?
• Blue Base
• [lbracket]Warrior Trainer[rbracket]
• I used to head a research team at Incomp Optics. After five years of trial and error, we were on the verge of making a mind-boggling breakthrough in golem technology.
• What was the big breakthrough?
• I don't know. Bandits broke into my lab and stole all my data, sold my secrets to the Inquest, and retired to wherever bandits retire to. And I...went back to the drawing board. At a researcher's salary.
