Quest Offering "I'm Officer Hanai Amberwolf," the Imperial says slowly. "And I'm leading the assault on Magi Hold. I know Naji is hiring mercenaries and adventuring types, but while they may serve a tactical purpose, without us here this little defended segment of the base would fall immediately." She pauses. "I've heard of you, by the way, (your name) . I want to talk to you. I might need your help." NPC Hanai Amberwolf "Tell me more about what is going on," you ask Officer Hanai. She nods to you. "Naji is dealing with the effects of Zosun. Jodin is taking care of the elemental creatures. It'll be our job to deal with the main force." You raise an eyebrow. "I thought you needed a diplomat, not a warrior." Hanai shakes her head. "You don't understand. This dissent in the ranks is crippling. As a loyal servant of the Empire, Zosun had ranked above many of us. But the Emperor has already issued orders here to stop listening to him and any that serve him." "Why doesn't the Emperor himself do more?" you ask. Hanai frowns a little. "I'm not exactly sure. We have received some supplies, but I think the infiltration of traitors in the ranks is higher than we thought, and the Emperor is dealing with them himself." She points to you. "This is privileged information. So don't go talking to anyone about this." "I understand," you say politely. "Our main problem right now is morale," she continues. "As I mentioned, this is not easy on most of us. The soldiers will never admit weakness to me, since I am their commander. I will need you to speak to them to gauge their true feelings." "I don't foresee much difficulty in that," you reply. "That's good to hear. I know Officer Tensho Starwind is fighting for the loyalty of the soldiers currently on our side. We can't let that manipulative bastard win." The officer nods firmly. "Tensho Starwind?" you ask. Hanai frowns. "His arrogance will be his undoing. While his skill with a blade is mediocre, his skill with words and his ability to inspire have not gone unnoticed." You nod slightly. "I shall we wary then." The officer shakes her head. "We can deal with him soon enough. In the meantime, please help with the soldiers. Talk to them." You smile. "Leave it to me." Quest Completion Hanai Amberwolf says, "Impressive. I think we can work together." "Now let's get around to fixing our little problem here."
