**Quest Group**: 26669973
**Steps**: 36
## Summary
So, you're Edana—the one Bahram officially recognized?
And you've been sent to help us?
Still, for someone to come here alone—
Just how strong are you?
Hah... I can't tell if you're
brave or just reckless.
## Walkthrough
### Step 1
- **Dialogue**: This place isn't meant for outsiders.
Only our scouting party should be here...
### Step 2
- **Reward**: You're not from the scouting party...
So then... what brings you to this forsaken place?
### Step 3
- **Reward**: Still, I didn't fall from the sky, you know.
When I faced death, memories of my family came rushing back.
### Step 4
- **Reward**: Ah, forgive me—I let my thoughts run away with me.
Thank you for hearing me out!
### Step 5
- **Reward**: This land is barren. No life survives here.
Only monsters roam these sands.
### Step 6
- **Reward**: Did you really come here on your own? No backup, no supplies?
Was it the Mermaid's song that drew you in?
### Step 7
- **Reward**: We're here searching for a way to cure our brothers.
They've been struck by a Mermaid's curse.
### Step 8
- **Reward**: But don't worry! They're all seasoned warriors.
They'll be okay... they have to be.
### Step 9
- **Reward**: Please, take me there.
I'll see you're rewarded—just, please!
### Step 10
- **Objective**: Explain what happened.
- **Summary**: So, you're Edana—the one Bahram officially recognized?
And you've been sent to help us?
Still, for someone to come here alone—
Just how strong are you?
Hah... I can't tell if you're
brave or just reckless.
### Step 11
- **Objective**: Who are you?
- **Summary**: Ah—pardon me. I forgot to introduce myself.
I'm Tumaini, from the Sand Scorpion scouting party.
### Step 12
- **Objective**: I know about the scouting party.
- **Summary**: You've heard of us? Then you might already know...
We ran into monsters on the way.
The journey here was not easy, but these creatures—
they're unlike anything we've seen elsewhere.
They ambushed us. A full attack.
My brothers held the line so I could break away.
I managed to escape because I was the one
tasked with delivering the message to the sanctuary.
### Step 13
- **Objective**: Tell him about what happened to the party.
- **Summary**: W-What?! You found them collapsed?
Where? Are any of them still alive?
### Step 14
- **Objective**: Didn't you say you were a messenger?
- **Summary**: I know! I'm fully aware that is my job.
But I can't just run away again... not this time.
### Step 15
- **Reward**: Please... I'm begging you.
I know I can still be of some use.
### Step 16
- **Reward**: Would you mind heading to the forest over there
and bringing back some wood? I'd be really grateful.
### Step 17
- **Reward**: You're back already?
So you're not just good at fighting!
### Step 18
- **Reward**: While I prepare it... may I speak with you for a moment?
We'll be traveling together—might as well get to know each other.
### Step 19
- **Objective**: Hand over Log x3.
- **Summary**: This wood's almost too good for a splint.
I'll shape it to fit my leg myself—don't worry, I've got it.
### Step 20
- **Objective**: Let's do that.
- **Summary**: Truth is... before I met you,
I thought I was going to die out here.
When I became a Hashashin,
I thought I had made peace with death.
But when it stared me in the face, I froze. I was terrified.
After all that training, I still ran away...!
### Step 21
- **Reward**: Still, I didn't fall from the sky, you know.
When I faced death, memories of my family came rushing back.
### Step 22
- **Reward**: While wandering, I met a Hashashin on pilgrimage.
That encounter changed everything for me.
### Step 23
- **Reward**: I waited for him at Hakinza Sanctuary,
but he never came back from his pilgrimage.
### Step 24
- **Reward**: Ten years have passed. If he's still alive, he must be an old man by now.
Still... something about you reminds me of him. Haha!
### Step 25
- **Reward**: I want to find him just as much as I want to find my family,
but I don't know if I ever will. Hahaha.
### Step 26
- **Reward**: I've never seen his body
with my own eyes.
### Step 27
- **Reward**: I'm certain he took it
and ran away.
### Step 28
- **Objective**: Who was he?
- **Summary**: He told me he had avenged my family—
that he had struck down Ibedor, the Venomous Serpent of Darkness.
It was ten years ago. I barely remember his face...
but I'll never forget his name.
Ayawaka. Thanks to him, I became a Hashashin,
and I'm still alive today because of that.
### Step 29
- **Objective**: Who was he?
- **Summary**: He told me he had avenged my family—
that he had struck down Ibedor, the Venomous Serpent of Darkness.
It was ten years ago. I barely remember his face...
but I'll never forget his name.
Ayawaka. Thanks to him, I became a Hashashin,
and I'm still alive today because of that.
I waited for him at Hakinza Sanctuary,
but he never came back from his pilgrimage.
### Step 30
- **Objective**: I hope he returns safely.
- **Summary**: Only Hashashins who reach the highest level of training
are allowed to set out on pilgrimage.
He was one of those few,
so I believe there must be some other reason he hasn't returned.
### Step 31
- **Objective**: Uh... about that...
- **Summary**: Why do you ask? Do you have something to say?
Do you know anything about him?
...You're quiet, so I guess not.
All I can do is carry gratitude in my heart.
### Step 32
- **Objective**: Do you have any family left?
- **Summary**: Officially, my entire family is gone,
but my younger brother's fate was never confirmed.
### Step 33
- **Objective**: I'm sorry to hear that.
- **Summary**: It's alright. Maybe it's false hope,
but I have my reasons to believe otherwise.
My younger brother and I shared a necklace, split in two,
and we always wore our halves.
We never took it off, except when sleeping.
But the necklace wasn't at home.
If he was asleep, it should have been in his room,
but neither he nor the necklace were there.
### Step 34
- **Objective**: Have you tried looking for him?
- **Summary**: Once you become a Hashashin,
the only way to leave is through pilgrimage.
To do that, you have to either reach the highest level of training
or perform a deed worthy of honor.
As you can see, I'm far from that level—
I can barely keep pace with my brothers.
### Step 35
- **Objective**: Have you tried looking for him?
- **Summary**: You haven't forgotten, have you?
The only way for Hashashin to leave is through pilgrimage.
To do that, you have to either reach the highest level of training
or perform a deed worthy of honoring the Hashashin.
As you can see, I'm far from that level—
I can barely keep pace with my brothers.
### Step 36
- **Reward**: ... ...
