Publisher's Summary

Late 2562. Bernice Summerfield is 22 and enroute to the ruin of Earth. She's young, she's single, she's just got an MA in archaeology. There's a life of adventure in front of her.

And then she meets the half-human, half-lemur Ivo, whose life she'll completely knock sideways.

Late 2607. Professor Bernice Summerfield is... well she looks nearly 40, but it's difficult to tell what with all the time travel. She's on her way to a funeral, and to meet up with people she's not seen since her 20s.

Ex-husband / current-beau Jason is keen to go with her. Benny never talks about that period of her life - what she did to keep out of the war, where she travelled, how she survived, or who it was broke her heart.

She's run through all time and space to avoid this reunion. But the best-selling author of Down Among The Dead Men must finally uncover her own past.

Overview

Summary

1. Speak with Sergeant Bokkun about the heket rumor.
2. See Commander Tanmod for your reward.

Obtained from

Sergeant Bolrob in The Kodash Bazaar

Reward

• 1,000 XP
• 150 Gold

Dialogue

"Ahai, Sunspear. I could use your help. I serve Ahmtur the Mighty, who holds the Citadel of Dzagon against the inhuman heket. I've been hearing rumors that the numbers of these toad-like creatures are increasing, and they may be amassing for an attack. Find my colleague, Sergeant Bokkun, in the Mirror of Lyss and gather what information you can. Then speak to Commander Tanmod and deliver a report on the situation."

Accept: "I'll track down this Bokkun and get to the bottom of this."

Reject: "I'm sure it's just a rumor. Nothing to worry about...."

Intermediate Dialogue (Sergeant Bokkun)

"Bolrob is right. I see heket on every ridgeline and in the valleys as well. The attack is imminent, but they are waiting for more units and supplies before striking. Send word to Tanmod that if he requires our services, we are more than willing to send a few heket to their graves!"

Reward Dialogue

"Ahai, Sunspear. What brings you here? What? Bokkun says an attack is coming from the heket? Interesting. They're nasty creatures, those foul toads, but they don't have the equipment or leadership to attack the Citadel. Still, we can't be too careful. I need more details, and you can help me get them!"

Followup

For Your Ears Only

Walkthrough

You will find Sergeant Bokkun close to the entrance into Dzagonur Bastion, so if you have that location (or Grand Court of Sebelkeh) on your map already, map travel there first will save time. Exit into the Mirror of Lyss, speak to him and enter / return to Dzagonur Bastion to report in to Commander Tanmod and get your reward and the next quest.
