Too many eyes in the settlement, too many who might know him. I need time to figure out that gullible fool's notes. If he was right, we'll rule like kings on this island!\nI'm moving ahead to get everything ready. Wait for a few hours, then follow to the second camp. I'll leave more instructions for you there.

Defense Against the Withered

Arrived here yesterday, Airic said this place had what's needed for the plan. With all we're collecting, think we'll need to up the cost to stay in one of our little safehouses... maybe we could even charge azoth! Wouldn't that be something! Few years time, we'll need to start finding places to stash away all that profit!\nHeading to the caverns tomorrow, going to rest for a while. Strange... nobody's around, but I hear voices. Whispers. Must be the wind through the cliffs.\n\n...\n\nDamned creatures almost took my foot off! Patched myself up, but I'll be stuck here a bit. Just going to rest, listen to the voices in the wind.

Voices in the Wind

Only one piece left, and I'll be done. Ichor and water, just need some of those stones... then I'll be set. Haven't heard from the others, no messages anywhere. Guess that means I don't have to share!\nHeading to Grus tomorrow, should find what I need there, then keep north. Maybe being away from these ruins will stop this buzzing...
