Trachtoum's deception had wasted valuable time in tracking down a means to confront Titan, though the Adventurer was now back on the right track. A short coastal walk would bring the Adventurer into Eastern La Noscea, a unique region of beach and jungle divided by mountains and a deep gorge. Pushing past the apkallu, kobolds, and occasional giant crab, they would reach Costa del Sol, a resort owned by a wealthy Ul'dahn Lalafell named Gegeruju.

If matters weren't as urgent, it would been a perfect day to relax and enjoy the sunny seaside, though the impending threat of Titan meant that would have to wait for another day

If matters weren't as urgent, it would been a perfect day to relax and enjoy the sunny seaside, though the impending threat of Titan meant that would have to wait for another day. After attuning to the aetheryte, the Adventurer looked around; there were merchants and stalls scattered about the establishment, though most were under the employ of Master Gegeruju. Up ahead, standing on the docks was a burly Roegadyn, standing tall with an axe resting behind him. This was undoubtedly Wheiskaet Rysswoerdsyn, the very man the Adventurer had been looking for.

A few eager steps toward towards him were cut short as something caught the Adventurer's eye. Leaning against a cart was a man in ragged clothes, with two long ears atop their head. It was the same Viera they had met in East Shroud, but what were they doing here? The man had yet to notice them, his head hanging a little as if he were staring at the ground. If the Viera did see them, he would be likely to talk their ear off, so with an added haste in their step, the Adventurer pressed on to meet with Wheiskaet.

The Adventurer had been dealt their fair share of trials, including some on this very quest, though this was by far one of the strangest. After reporting back to Wheiskaet once more, they were now tasked with accompanying a Goblin known as Brayflox through a dense part of Raincatcher Gully. Odd as it was, it had to be done, and so the Adventurer set out towards the dock at Hidden Falls... Only to be interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Adventurer!"

This time, instead of being beckoned to him, the Viera hurried over to meet them instead. "You know, I have seen you come and go all day, yet not once have you bothered to come and speak with me. If I didn't know any better, I'd reckon you're ignoring me." Kaine stated, his hands on his hips, a look of annoyance on his face. Before the Adventurer could reply, though, the Viera grinned and waved his hand dismissively. "Do not worry, friend, only friendly japes." he insisted as he let his form relax. "Though something tells me you have been busy today. Whatever has brought you out here and all across La Noscea?"

What will you say?

"I could as you the same thing." (Proceed to 2.1)
"My business is mine alone." (Proceed to 2.2)
