Dialogue
Accepting the quest
Tanga Tonga: I know it's no easy thing making your way out to where I am. I could use someone like you around here. How would you like to aid in my excavation? Tanga Tonga: I do what I can on my own, but I need someone to brave the more dangerous places—such as stop the bones themselves. Tanga Tonga: Set out in my place, and see what fossils there are yo be found. If possible, I would prefer a variety of specimens.
Delivering the fossils to Tanga Tonga
Tanga Tonga: Found something, have you? Come let us have a look. Tanga Tonga: Ah, yes, these are fine specimens. These narrow bones likely belonged to some sort of giant sea creature devoured by Thalaos. From the looks of it, I'd say it was about the size of an adult goobbue, all told. Tanga Tonga: And this round, fossil, well, I've developed a theory that it is the shell of a parasitic organism. I have found countless others like it concentrated near the remains. These are good finds, my friend. Both are testaments to the sheer enormity of Thalaos. Tanga Tonga: Ah, forgive me. We scholars tend to assume all know as much of our subject matter as we. Do you know of the tale of Thalaos? It is said Llymlaen summoned the massive serpent upon the primordial dry, and from its belly it spewed forth the waters which became the seas. Tanga Tonga: We have no proof the remains that lie here are the Thalaos. Indeed, whatever beast this was first came to be called that by virtue of its size alone. But I, for one, now dare to believe. It just may be that these bones are those of the divine serpent that brought life into this world.
