From what you can tell, Brahk seems to be relatively new to Salvage Keep. You have been told that a grimer is the guild leader for a small guild known as the Anti-Hygiene Guild, so you head to the miscellaneous guild buildings and begin to look around. You do not find the grimer, but you do find someone who tells you that Brahk resides at the Rubbish Tip, so you pull out your map and use it to guide you there.
The first thing you notice is that the tip consists of two divided locations: east and west. You first come upon the western part, which is enormous, and you imagine that you're going to have a hard time locating anyone. However, what catches your attention next is the sinking feeling in your gut that your companions have described to you before. You stick to the outskirts of the rubbish-laden land, only to see the creeping form of shadowy tentacles swirling in the air further down, likely in the eastern part of the tip. It's quite a distance away, so you figure you'll be safe at this end, and hope that this is where Brahk resides.
Before you can get very far into the safe end of the property, you hear a nearby voice shout, "Who goes there?!"
You freeze, looking around while trying to spot the source of the voice. You spend half a minute looking about until you finally spot movement, and see a sludgy green mound moving toward you. Around the mouth is bright yellow goo, and two square teeth protrude from the top half of the mouth. You quickly introduce yourself, trying not to scare who you assume is Brahk.
The grimer looks you up and down, still at a distance. "...Lita, is it?" There is a pause before the dual type seems to relax. "Ah, what the hell. Welcome to my pile of junk. It's not much...but it's mine!" You quickly realise this grimer is female, contrary to what you assumed, and follow her as she leads you a little further into the tip.
There are piles upon piles of rubbish, some of it ancient and some of it probably thrown away yesterday. The assortment of smells does not sit well with you, as most of them are unpleasant, and you note that Brahk's stench is probably one of the more offensive ones. As you're following behind her slithering form, you enquire about anything strange she has seen lately, or anything interesting that might have come into her possession. She immediately stops at this, turning around.
Her eyes narrow. "...Why do you ask?" You answer that you are merely curious, and had a feeling that coming here might yield something useful for your investigation. The grimer grows quiet and suddenly seems nervous. "I...I don't have anything. Like I said, it's a pile of junk. Many piles of junk."
You try to explain to her that you're just looking for help, but the more you talk to her, the more wary she seems of you.
"Look, I don't come into your house asking for things, so don't do it to me...please." She slithers backwards a few paces, towards what you see is a large pipe with a fine grate over it. You realise that she probably intends to escape through it, and try one last time to placate her, but the grimer snags something glowing and small - a trinket - from beside the pipe and slinks between the gaps in the grate. She reforms her body on the other side and gives you a look of fear before vanishing into the darkness of the pipe. You race up to it, trying to find a way for you to follow, but figure that even if you could enter, she would likely just run away from you anyway.
You sigh, concluding that she might need someone more crafty with their words to speak with her, and depart. One thing is for sure, though: she has a Utopian item.
